Laboratory and field studies have indicated that anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is an important process in the marine nitrogen cycle. In this study 11 additional anoxic marine sediment and water column samples were studied to substantiate this claim. In a combined approach using the molecular methods, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), qualitative and quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), as well as (15)N stable isotope activity measurements, it was shown that anammox bacteria were present and active in all samples investigated. The anammox activity measured in the sediment samples ranged from 0.08 fmol cell(-1) day(-1) N(2) in the Golfo Dulce (Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica) sediment to 0.98 fmol cell(-1) day(-1) N(2) in the Gullmarsfjorden (North Sea, Sweden) sediment. The percentage of anammox cell of the total population (stained with DAPI) as assessed by quantitative FISH was highest in the Barents Sea (9% +/- 4%) and in most of the samples well over 2%. Fluorescence in situ hybridization and phylogenetic analysis of the PCR products derived from the marine samples indicated the exclusive presence of members of the Candidatus'Scalindua' genus. This study showed the ubiquitous presence of anammox bacteria in anoxic marine ecosystems, supporting previous observations on the importance of anammox for N cycling in marine environments. 相似文献

We investigated the genotypic diversity of oxygenic and anoxygenic phototrophic microorganisms in microbial mat samples collected from three hot spring localities on the east coast of Greenland. These hot springs harbour unique Arctic microbial ecosystems that have never been studied in detail before. Specific oligonucleotide primers for cyanobacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, green sulfur bacteria and Choroflexus/Roseiflexus-like green non-sulfur bacteria were used for the selective amplification of 16S rRNA gene fragments. Amplification products were separated by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and sequenced. In addition, several cyanobacteria were isolated from the mat samples, and classified morphologically and by 16S rRNA-based methods. The cyanobacterial 16S rRNA sequences obtained from DGGE represented a diverse, polyphyletic collection of cyanobacteria. The microbial mat communities were dominated by heterocystous and non-heterocystous filamentous cyanobacteria. Our results indicate that the cyanobacterial community composition in the samples were different for each sampling site. Different layers of the same heterogeneous mat often contained distinct and different communities of cyanobacteria. We observed a relationship between the cyanobacterial community composition and the in situ temperatures of different mat parts. The Greenland mats exhibited a low diversity of anoxygenic phototrophs as compared with other hot spring mats which is possibly related to the photochemical conditions within the mats resulting from the Arctic light regime. 相似文献

The transformation of nitrogen compounds in lake and estuarine sediments incubated in the dark was analyzed in a continuous-flowthrough system. The inflowing water contained 15NO3-, and by determination of the isotopic composition of the N2, NO3-, and NH4+ pools in the outflowing water, it was possible to quantify the following reactions: total NO3- uptake, denitrification based on NO3- from the overlying water, nitrification, coupled nitrification-denitrification, and N mineralization. In sediment cores from both lake and estuarine environments, benthic microphytes assimilated NO3- and NH4+ for a period of 25 to 60 h after darkening. Under steady-state conditions in the dark, denitrification of NO3- originating from the overlying water accounted for 91 to 171 μmol m-2 h-1 in the lake sediments and for 131 to 182 μmol m-2 h-1 in the estuarine sediments, corresponding to approximately 100% of the total NO3- uptake for both sediments. It seems that high NO3- uptake by benthic microphytes in the initial dark period may have been misinterpreted in earlier investigations as dissimilatory reduction to ammonium. The rates of coupled nitrification-denitrification within the sediments contributed to 10% of the total denitrification at steady state in the dark, and total nitrification was only twice as high as the coupled process. 相似文献

The transformation of nitrogen compounds in lake and estuarine sediments incubated in the dark was analyzed in a continuous-flowthrough system. The inflowing water contained NO(3), and by determination of the isotopic composition of the N(2), NO(3), and NH(4) pools in the outflowing water, it was possible to quantify the following reactions: total NO(3) uptake, denitrification based on NO(3) from the overlying water, nitrification, coupled nitrification-denitrification, and N mineralization. In sediment cores from both lake and estuarine environments, benthic microphytes assimilated NO(3) and NH(4) for a period of 25 to 60 h after darkening. Under steady-state conditions in the dark, denitrification of NO(3) originating from the overlying water accounted for 91 to 171 mumol m h in the lake sediments and for 131 to 182 mumol m h in the estuarine sediments, corresponding to approximately 100% of the total NO(3) uptake for both sediments. It seems that high NO(3) uptake by benthic microphytes in the initial dark period may have been misinterpreted in earlier investigations as dissimilatory reduction to ammonium. The rates of coupled nitrification-denitrification within the sediments contributed to 10% of the total denitrification at steady state in the dark, and total nitrification was only twice as high as the coupled process. 相似文献

Knowledge on the relative effects of biological activity and precipitation/dissolution of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in influencing the air-ice CO2 exchange in sea-ice-covered season is currently lacking. Furthermore, the spatial and temporal occurrence of CaCO3 and other biogeochemical parameters in sea ice are still not well described. Here we investigated autotrophic and heterotrophic activity as well as the precipitation/dissolution of CaCO3 in subarctic sea ice in South West Greenland. Integrated over the entire ice season (71 days), the sea ice was net autotrophic with a net carbon fixation of 56 mg C m?2, derived from a sea-ice-related gross primary production of 153 mg C m?2 and a bacterial carbon demand of 97 mg C m?2. Primary production contributed only marginally to the TCO2 depletion of the sea ice (7–25 %), which was mainly controlled by physical export by brine drainage and CaCO3 precipitation. The net biological production could only explain 4 % of this sea-ice-driven CO2 uptake. Abiotic processes contributed to an air-sea CO2 uptake of 1.5 mmol m?2 sea ice day?1, and dissolution of CaCO3 increased the air-sea CO2 uptake by 36 % compared to a theoretical estimate of melting CaCO3-free sea ice. There was a considerable spatial and temporal variability of CaCO3 and the other biogeochemical parameters measured (dissolved organic and inorganic nutrients). 相似文献

The number of common eiders (Somateria
mollissima borealis) in west Greenland declined dramatically during the twentieth century, supposedly because of human activities. However, their
sensitivity to alternative drivers of variation, such as climate conditions, diseases or food availability, remains unstudied.
In this study, we describe prey availability and assess the trophic coupling between eiders and their macrobenthic prey in
a shallow inlet, Nipisat Sound; a key wintering habitat in the south-west Greenland Open Water Area. Macrobenthic species
abundance and biomass were studied, and annual production was estimated by an empirical model, including environmental characteristics,
fauna composition and individual biomass. In spring 2008, average macrozoobenthic abundance and biomass were 6,912 ind m−2 and 28.4 g ash-free dry mass (AFDM) m−2 (647 kJ m−2), respectively. Annual production was estimated at 13.9 g AFDM m−2 year−1 (317 kJ m−2 year−1). During the winters of 2008–2010, we monitored the number of common eiders (S. mollissima borealis) and king eiders (Somateria spectabilis) and observed a distinct peak in abundance during winter with up to 15.000 birds in Nipisat Sound. Based on physiological
costs of different activities in combination with the observed behavioural pattern, we obtained an estimate of the energy
required for eiders to balance their costs of living, which amounted to 58% of the estimated total annual production of macrobenthos
in Nipisat Sound. This result suggests that eider predation affects macrobenthic species composition and biomass and demonstrates
the potential importance of variations in prey availability for the population dynamics of eiders in Greenland. 相似文献

Food consumption of Atlantic walruses (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus L.) was quantified by combining underwater observations of feeding with satellite-telemetry data on movement and diving activity. The study was conducted between 31 July and 7 August 2001 in Young Sound (74°N-20°W) in Northeast Greenland. On ten occasions, divers were able to accompany foraging walruses to the sea floor and collect the shells of newly predated bivalves (Mya truncata, Hiatella arctica, Serripes groenlandicus) for determination of number of prey and biomass ingested per dive. Simultaneously, the activity of a 1,200-kg adult male walrus was studied by use of satellite-telemetry during an entire foraging cycle that included 74 h at sea followed by a 23-h rest on land. An average of 53.2 bivalves (SE=5.2, range: 34-89, n=10) were consumed per dive, corresponding to 149.0 g shell-free dry matter (SE=18.9, range: 62.4-253.1 g), or 2,576 kJ per dive (SE=325.2, range: 1,072-4,377 kJ). During the foraging trip, the walrus spent 57% of the time diving to depths of between 6 and 32 m, and it made a total of 412 dives that lasted between 5 and 7 min (i.e. typical foraging dives). If the entire feeding cycle is considered (97 h), the estimated daily gross energy intake was 214 kJ per kg body mass (95% CI: 153-275 kJ), corresponding to the ingestion of 57 kg (95% CI: 41-72 kg) wet weight bivalve biomass per day, or 4.7 (95% CI: 3.3-5.9%) of total walrus body mass. Due to ice cover, walrus access to the plentiful inshore bivalve banks in the area is restricted to the short summer period, where walruses rely on them for replenishing energy stores. It is hypothesised that the documented decrease in the extent and duration of Arctic sea ice may increase food availability for walruses in eastern Greenland in the future. 相似文献

as well as rates of nitrification, denitrification, and nitrate ammonification were determined in two different coastal lagoons of southern France: The seagrass (Zostera noltii) dominated tidal Bassin d'Arcachon and the dystrophic Etang du Prévost. Overall, denitrification rates in both Bassin d'Arcachon (<0.4 mmol m–2 d–1) and Etang du Prévost (<1 mmol m–2 d–1) were low. This was mainly caused by a combination of low NO

concentrations in the water column and a low nitrification activity within the sediment. In both Bassin d'Arcachon and Etang du Prévost, rates of nitrate ammonification were quantitatively as important as denitrification.Denitrification played a minor role as a nitrogen sink in both systems. In the tidal influenced Bassin d'Arcachon, Z. noltii was quantitatively more important than denitrification as a nitrogen sink due to the high assimilation rates of the plants. Throughout the year, Z. noltii stabilized the mudflats of the bay by its well- developed root matrix and controlled the nitrogen cycle due to its high uptake rates. In contrast, the lack of rooted macrophytes, and dominance of floating macroalgae, made nitrogen cycling in Etang du Prévost more unstable and unpredictable. Inhibition of nitrification and denitrification during the dystrophic crisis in the summer time increased the inorganic nitrogen flux from the sediment to the water column and thus increased the degree of benthic-pelagic coupling within this bay. During winter, however, benthic microalgae colonizing the sediment surface changed the sediment in the lagoon from being a nitrogen source to the over lying water to being a sink due to their high assimilation rates. It is likely, however, that this assimilated nitrogen is liberated to the water column at the onset of summer thereby fueling the extensive growth of the floating macroalgae, Ulva sp. The combination of a high nitrogen coupling between sediment and water column, little water exchange and low denitrification rates resulted in an unstable system with fast growing algal species such as phytoplankton and floating algae. 相似文献

Capelin (Mallotus villosus Müller) is a key pelagic mediator of energy from lower to higher trophic levels in arctic waters. This is also the case in Greenland waters, but little is known of its feeding behaviour in this region. By analysing stable nitrogen isotopes and stomach content of capelin collected along 1500?km of the Greenland west coast, this study aims to provide knowledge on capelin feeding ecology and the role that diet composition and biomass may have in generating the observed latitudinal growth differences in Greenland capelin. In total, 572 stomachs were sampled. The most dominant prey by wet weight was euphausiids (61?%) followed by amphipods (18?%) and copepods (10?%). The most common species were Thysanoessa raschii, Themisto libulla, Calanus finmarchicus and Calanus hyperboreus. Copepods dominated in smaller capelin but were replaced by euphausiids in larger fish. A similar prey shift towards euphausiids along with an increase in prey weight (relative and absolute) was seen with increasing latitude. The spatial variation in feeding pattern was supported by stable nitrogen analyses. The mean δ15N values of capelin muscle tissue for the south (60–64°N) and north (68–72°N) were 9.54?‰?±?0.72 and 12.47?‰?±?0.38 (mean?±?SD), respectively. However, when differences in isotopic baseline values (C. finmarchicus δ15N, 2.47?‰) in the two areas were taken into account, the isotope values suggest that capelin in the northern areas fed on a slightly higher trophic level higher than in the south, as would be expected with increasing importance of euphausiids. These significant feeding differences along the Greenland west coast are likely impacting capelin growth and condition as they show parallel trends along the same gradient. 相似文献
