渤海湾浮游纤毛虫丰度和生物量的周年变化

为了解渤海湾浮游纤毛虫丰度、生物量和种类组成的周年变化,于2019年7月-2020年6月在渤海湾一个站位进行每月1次共12个航次浮游纤毛虫样品的采集。样品按照Utermöhl方法进行分析,通过倒置显微镜镜检,计算纤毛虫的丰度和生物量。无壳纤毛虫和砂壳纤毛虫出现峰值的时间不同,无壳纤毛虫丰度和生物量均在4月和8月呈现双峰值,砂壳纤毛虫丰度和生物量均在7月出现单峰值。周年砂壳纤毛虫丰度占纤毛虫总丰度的比例平均为(28.6±32.6)%,5-7月较高,均超过50%。共鉴定砂壳纤毛虫6属21种,其中拟铃虫属(Tintinnopsis)种类最多,6-8月砂壳纤毛虫种类数最高。砂壳纤毛虫种类组成呈现明显的周年变化,温度是驱动砂壳纤毛虫群落周年变化的主要环境因子。砂壳纤毛虫群落Shannon指数的平均值为0.95±0.78,Pielou指数的平均值为0.52±0.34,均在6-8月较高。除无壳纤毛虫外,砂壳纤毛虫丰度、纤毛虫总丰度和砂壳纤毛虫丰度占纤毛虫总丰度的比例均与温度、Chl a浓度呈显著的正相关,与盐度呈显著的负相关。     

PFR2: a curated database of planktonic foraminifera 18S ribosomal DNA as a resource for studies of plankton ecology,biogeography and evolution

Planktonic foraminifera (Rhizaria) are ubiquitous marine pelagic protists producing calcareous shells with conspicuous morphology. They play an important role in the marine carbon cycle, and their exceptional fossil record serves as the basis for biochronostratigraphy and past climate reconstructions. A major worldwide sampling effort over the last two decades has resulted in the establishment of multiple large collections of cryopreserved individual planktonic foraminifera samples. Thousands of 18S rDNA partial sequences have been generated, representing all major known morphological taxa across their worldwide oceanic range. This comprehensive data coverage provides an opportunity to assess patterns of molecular ecology and evolution in a holistic way for an entire group of planktonic protists. We combined all available published and unpublished genetic data to build PFR², the Planktonic foraminifera Ribosomal Reference database. The first version of the database includes 3322 reference 18S rDNA sequences belonging to 32 of the 47 known morphospecies of extant planktonic foraminifera, collected from 460 oceanic stations. All sequences have been rigorously taxonomically curated using a six‐rank annotation system fully resolved to the morphological species level and linked to a series of metadata. The PFR² website, available at http://pfr2.sb-roscoff.fr , allows downloading the entire database or specific sections, as well as the identification of new planktonic foraminiferal sequences. Its novel, fully documented curation process integrates advances in morphological and molecular taxonomy. It allows for an increase in its taxonomic resolution and assures that integrity is maintained by including a complete contingency tracking of annotations and assuring that the annotations remain internally consistent.

于2009年3月—2010年2月逐月对中国最大人工滩涂湖泊——滴水湖的浮游藻类群落特征进行研究。利用CANOCO4.5软件对浮游藻类数据和环境因子数据进行典范对应分析(CCA),以揭示浮游藻类对生态环境的响应。结果表明:全年共检测到浮游藻类186种及变种,隶属于8门92属,其中绿藻门种类最多,其次是蓝藻门和硅藻门;主要优势种为小席藻、微小平裂藻、银灰平裂藻、不定微囊藻、弱细颤藻、啮蚀隐藻、四尾栅藻、扁圆卵形藻;藻类的年均丰度和年均生物量分别为(4552.29±4591.33)×104cells·L-1和8.15±6.63mg·L-1,藻类现存量各月份间差异极显著(P<0.01),但站点间差异不显著;多样性分析显示,藻类物种多样性较好;典范对应分析表明,水温、总氮等是影响滴水湖藻类群落结构的主要因素。     

Metabolic dynamics of Desulfovibrio vulgaris biofilm grown on a steel surface

In this study, a comparative metabolomics approach combining gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was applied first between planktonic cells and biofilms and then between pure cultures and biofilms of Desulfovibrio vulgaris. The results revealed that the overall metabolic level of the biofilm cells was down-regulated, especially for metabolites related to the central carbon metabolism, compared to the planktonic cells and the pure culture of D. vulgaris. In addition, pathway enrichment analysis of the 58 metabolites identified by GC-MS showed that fatty acid biosynthesis in the biofilm cells was up-regulated, suggesting that fatty acids may be important for the formation, maintenance and function of D. vulgaris biofilm. This study offers a valuable perspective on the metabolic dynamics of the D. vulgaris biofilm.     

上海淀山湖浮游桡足类群落组成与季节变动研究

本文报道了1984年2月至1985年2月上海淀山湖浮游桡足类的群落及优势种数量季节变动的调查结果．在淀山湖共获得11种浮游桡足类,隶属2目5科10属;根据各种类出现的月份,可以把这儿种桡足类划分成4种类型,终年出现型、夏秋季型、冬春季型和畏严冬型;在湖泊敞水区的浮游桡足类,年数量变动曲线有春季、夏季以及秋季三次高峰,秋季高峰比春季、夏季高峰更突出,持续时间约两个月;中华窄腹剑水蚤、汤匙华哲水蚤、广布中剑水蚤和近邻剑水蚤这4个优势种制约了桡足类群落总数量的季节消长。浮游桡足类生物量的季节变动有4次高峰,春季及秋季高峰出现时间迟于总数量高峰,其原因是数量高峰期桡足类群落中含有约80—90％的幼体,幼体成长之后方能达到生物量高峰期。本文还就影响浮游桡足类群落数量、生物量的生态因子作了初步的讨论。     

DEVELOPMENTAL MODE AND SPECIES GEOGRAPHIC RANGE IN REGULAR SEA URCHINS (ECHINODERMATA: ECHINOIDEA)

Among marine benthic organisms, the ability to disperse, primarily during the larval stage, is widely thought to influence the extent of species geographic range. Because related species often differ in their modes of larval development (pelagic, feeding larvae; pelagic, nonfeeding larvae; or brooded development), and these can have dramatically different planktonic intervals, the mode of development may influence geographic range. A global survey of 215 regular echinoids shows that species with pelagic, feeding larvae have significantly larger ranges than those with pelagic, nonfeeding larvae, but there is no difference in ranges between species with pelagic, nonfeeding larvae and those with brooded development. These patterns are maintained within the Cidaroida and the Temnopleuroida, which account for the great majority of species with pelagic, nonfeeding development and brooded development. This limited effect of developmental mode on geographic range is found among species occurring predominantly in waters shallower than 100 m. For species occurring deeper than 100 m, there is no significant difference in geographic range related to type of development. The relationship between developmental mode and species range was examined more closely for circa 30 species for which the developmental period was known from laboratory observations. Adjusting the developmental times to a common temperature, 20°C, using realistic values for Q₁₀ from 2.0 to 3.6, showed a highly significant, negative correlation between egg volume and developmental time, indicating the potential for developmental mode to influence the planktonic interval. However, there was no relationship between time in the plankton, estimated from unadjusted developmental times, and extent of species geographic range. These results suggest that developmental mode may influence extent of species geographic ranges indirectly through the consequences of dispersal for gene flow or recovery from disturbance.     

AKINETE FORMATION IN PLANKTONIC ANABAENA SPP. (CYANOBACTEFUA) BY TREATMENT WITH LOW TEMPERATURE1

The effects of temperature, light intensity and nutrient depletion on akinete formation in seven strains of planktonic Anabaena spp.: A. mucosa TAC426; A. crassa TAC436; A. spiroides TAC443 and TAC444; A. flosaquae TAC446; and A. ucrainica TAC448 and TAC449 were examined. A Marked Pfft of temperature on akinete formation was observed at 40 μmol photons·m^?2·sec^?1 and nutrient-sufficient conditions. At 20° C, akinetes did not develop in A. mucosa TAC426, A. crassa TAC436, A. spiroides TAC443, A. flos-aquae TAC446, or A. ucrainica TAC449 but were formed at frequencies of a little over 11% (ratio of filaments with akinetes to total filaments) in A. spiroides TAC444 and A. ucrainica TAC448. None of the strains fmd akinetes or heterocysts at 30° C and 35° C. At lower temperature (10° C and 15° C), akinetes developed in all the strains at maximum frequencies of 13.4–77.4% during the late exponential phase or late exponential to stationary phases of growth. With only one exception, low light or nutrient deletion did not lead to the induction of akinete diferentiation at 20° C. Only akinete formation in A. flosaquae TAC446 was induced by nitrogen deletion with a frequency of 12.1%, similar to that induced by low temperature, but the initiation of akinete formation in the strain was delayed compared to treatment with low temperature. These results show that temperature was the most important environmental factor triggering akinete formation in these species. In A. crassa TAC436 and A. spiroides TAC443 and TAC444, akinetes developed during the late exponential growth phase even though heterocysts were formed at a 100% frequency (ratio of filaments with heterocysts to total filaments) throughout the entire growth phase. In A. mucosa TAC426, A. flos-aquae TAC446, and A. ucrainica TAC448 and TAC449, there was a positive correlation between heterocyst and akinete formation, suggesting that the presence of a heterocyst may play a role in akinete formation.     

CHANGES IN THE PLANKTONIC DIATOM FLORA OF A LARGE MOUNTAIN LAKE IN RESPONSE TO FERTILIZATION1

Fertilization (phosphorus and nitrogen) of Kootenay Lake, British Columbia, was begun in 1992 in an attempt to increase food resources for declining stocks of kokanee salmon. In 1992 and 1993, significant changes in diatom abundance, species composition, diversity, and morphology of individual species were observed in the fertilized North Arm in comparison to the unfertilized South Arm. Effects of fertilization were most obvious during the spring. During summer stratification, fertilization did not result in significant changes in total abundance, but changes in species composition were observed. In 1993, with continued fertilization of the North Arm, diatom abundance in both spring and summer was significantly higher than at the same sites in 1992. No significant differences were observed in the unfertilized South Arm. Diatom abundance was significantly correlated with dissolved inorganic nitrogen (positive) and dissolved reactive silica (negative). Diatom assemblages in the fertilized North Arm in both the spring and summer of 1993 were dominated by Asterionella formosa and Fragilaria crotonensis, taxa considered mesotrophic. Abundance of the oligotrophic taxa Rhizosolenia eriensis and Cyclotella michiganiana was higher in the South Arm than in the North Arm. Differences in diatom assemblages between the two arms in both years were further summarized by multivariate statistical analyses. Morphological variations in two small Cyclotella species (C. comensis and C. cf. pseudostelligera) were observed between the fertilized and “control” stations. Populations of both species from fertilized stations exhibited stronger silicification with coarser striations and a smaller mean size.
