氮磷对水华束丝藻生长及生理特性的影响

从滇池分离得到水华束丝藻藻株,以BG11为基础培养基,在(25±1)℃,光照强度20μE/m2.s,光/暗周期为16h:8h的培养条件下,水华束丝藻的生长周期约为28d,以光密度(OD665)为指标的生长曲线符合典型的"S"型;在实验浓度范围内,N、P的浓度变化均对水华束丝藻的生长产生影响,在一定范围内([NO3--N]:1.6—245.1 mg/L;[PO43--P]:0.3—1.4 mg/L),高浓度的N、P有利于水华束丝藻的生长,但浓度过高([NO3--N]>245.1 mg/L;[PO43--P]>6.9 mg/L)时,则对其生长产生抑制作用;N、P在缺乏和浓度很低时可对水华束丝藻光系统Ⅱ活性(Fv/Fm)产生显著影响(p<0.01);本实验结果还表明,N、P浓度的改变可影响水华束丝藻硝酸还原酶、酸性磷酸酶和碱性磷酸酶的活性;在低N、P浓度下,水华束丝藻的硝酸还原酶和酸性磷酸酶活性升高,显著高于正常BG11培养时的活性(p<0.05)。这一结果表明,在低N、P营养环境中,水华束丝藻可通过调节自身的酶系统来提高对营养的吸收和利用,从而满足自身生长和细胞增殖的需要。     

三种水华蓝藻对不同磷浓度生理响应的比较研究

本实验研究了铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB469)、水华鱼腥藻(Anabaena flos-aquae FACHB245)和浮游颤藻(Oscillatoria planctonicaFACHB708)对磷浓度变化的生理响应。结果表明,在缺磷条件下,A. flos-aquae对低磷环境的适应能力较强,O. planctonica其次,M. aeruginosa最差;在磷充足条件,微囊藻对磷过量吸收的能力明显高于其他两种蓝藻。三种蓝藻胞外碱性磷酸酶活性(APA)与培养基中磷浓度呈负相关性,其产生碱性磷酸酶(AP)的能力由高至低为:A. flos-aquae>O. planctonica>M. aeruginosa。磷缺陷时A. flos-aquae产生的胞外APA约是M. aeruginosa的10倍,是O. planctonica的5倍。     

滇池束丝藻水华毒性生物检测

近年来,由于外源污染物大量入湖,致使滇池水体呈富营养状态,蓝藻水华频繁爆发。束丝藻属与微囊藻属随季节演替,成为滇池蓝藻水华的两大优势种群。束丝藻水华暴发期间,滇池放养的滤食性鱼类出现死亡,其原因可能是由于丝状藻体堵塞鱼鳃部而引起,但也不能排除束丝藻毒素的影响。有毒束丝藻水华对鱼类的危害主要表现在几个方面:鱼类受到有毒束丝藻细胞所分泌毒素,如四氢嘌呤碱等毒性毒害;与束丝藻共生细菌毒害;或束丝藻死亡后分解消耗水体中溶解氧造成水体缺氧等都是可以使鱼致死的原因。       

我国淡水水华蓝藻-束丝藻属新记录种

由于束丝藻属(Aphanizomenon Mort.ex Born.et Flah.)的藻丝、营养细胞、藻丝末端细胞(Terminal cells)、异型胞(Heterocysts)、厚壁休眠孢子(Akinetes)的形态和大小等特征易变,对鉴定工作造成许多闲难.所以该属的分类一直以来是藻类学者面临的长期难题.基于当今束丝藻属的分类研究,对我国淡水水体束丝藻属进行了研究,比较了该属的藻丝、营养细胞、异形胞、厚壁孢子及末端细胞的特征,发现了我困淡水水体的2个新记录种:柔细束丝藻(Aphanizomenon gracile Lemmermann)和依沙束丝藻(A.issatschenkoi(Usacev)Progkina-Lavrenko),并对其形态特征进行了详细描述.     

中国淡水水体常见束丝藻种类的形态及生理特性研究

束丝藻(Aphanizomenon Morr. ex Born. et Flah)是我国水华蓝藻的重要种类, 由其产生的束丝藻水华已经引起了许多的环境问题。水华束丝藻、柔细束丝藻和依沙束丝藻是我国淡水水体常见的三种束丝藻种类,然而, 国内外对它们的生理学研究却相对较少。基此, 文章对水华束丝藻、柔细束丝藻和依沙束丝藻的形态特性、色素含量、生长及光合作用进行了比较研究, 结果表明丝状体的营养细胞、异形胞和厚壁孢子的长宽比具有一定的差异性, 揭示了厚壁孢子的长宽比可作为三种束丝藻分类的一个参数; 同时, 种间的差异性也体现在三种束丝藻的生理特性上, 相比水华束丝藻和依沙束丝藻, 柔细束丝藻的藻蓝素含量较高, 而叶绿素a、类胡萝卜素含量、最大光合作用(Pm)、表观光合作用效率(α)和最大电子传递速率(ETRmax)显著偏低。此外, 水华束丝藻和依沙束丝藻生理特性基本一致, 表明了形态不同的三种束丝藻在生理上可被分为两种类型, 暗示了依沙束丝藻可能具有像水华束丝藻一样形成水华的生理潜能且由于它的产毒性所以应该倍加关注       

水华束丝藻NH-5株产生麻痹性贝毒毒素几个相关问题的研究

近年来,有害赤潮在我国沿海养殖区发生越来越频繁,对水产养殖业造成的经济损失越来越严重,并且对人类的健康构成了威胁。引起了我国重视,并开始了研究1、2。有害赤潮所产生的毒素中,麻痹性贝毒毒素在世界范围内分布最广,危害最大,引起人们加倍重视3。由于麻痹性贝毒毒素在国际间的传送受到了严格限制,而我国处于研究起始阶段,缺乏标准毒素,缺乏易于进行培养的赤潮产毒藻株,给研究工作带来了一定困难。一种能产生麻痹性贝毒毒素的淡水蓝藻水华束丝藻NH-5株受到了注意。       

氮、磷对水华发生的影响

简要介绍了水华的发生与氮、磷元素的关系,包括总氮、总磷的浓度、氮与磷的比值、以及氮、磷在水体中的存在形态等。同时提及水华发生是一个复杂的过程,只有经过多学科配合,进行多因子及其相互作用的综合性研究,才能真正揭示水华发生的杌理。     

池塘水华与底层磷营养状态的关系

比较了武汉东郊相邻池塘间隙水、上覆水与沉积物中磷形态、水相中与不同大小颗粒相联系的碱性磷酸酶活性 (APA)、溶解态与沉积物APA动力学参数及沉积物有机质的含量。铜绿微囊藻 (Microcystisaeruginosa)出现或繁盛的池塘上覆水中正磷酸盐 (O—P)或间隙水中不同形态磷的浓度较高 ,而底层水相不同形态磷浓度较低的池塘叶绿素的浓度亦低 ,且未见铜绿微囊藻 ,故水华与底层磷营养之间联系紧密。各塘沉积物磷主要以铁结合态形式存在 ,铜绿微囊藻繁盛的池塘沉积物中铁结合态磷含量较低 ,而有机质含量较高 ,底层APA亦表现出较高的底物亲和能力 (较小的Km 值 )和反应速度 (较大的Vmax值 ) ,上述结果说明 ,有机质可能在上覆水、间隙水与沉积物诱导具不同动力学特征的高APA ,同时引发厌氧状态 ,这双重因素均有利于O—P的迅速释放 ,从而促进水华的形成     

斑马鱼脑细胞凋亡基因对束丝藻毒素致毒的响应

水华束丝藻是淡水湖泊中常见的水华蓝藻,是我国滇池冬春季节常见的优势种群,因其产生麻痹性贝类毒素,损伤人和动物的神经系统而倍受关注。但有关该毒素对动物神经系统损伤的研究较少,特别是对水生脊椎动物中枢神经系统损伤的研究尚无报道,为此本研究通过腹腔注射5.3μg STXeq/kg bw束丝藻毒素,研究了24h内该藻毒素对斑马鱼脑组织超微结构损伤及脑细胞凋亡基因表达的影响,以揭示该毒素对脑组织的损伤及其脑细胞在基因水平对该毒素的响应机理。研究表明,束丝藻毒素引起斑马鱼脑组织超微结构损伤,出现细胞膜发泡和形成凋亡小体等典型的细胞凋亡结构;从分子水平进一步分析显示,该毒素引起脑细胞p53、bax、caspase-3和c-jun等凋亡相关基因的表达上调,其上调量分别是对照组表达上调量的1.92、1.55、1.63和1.55倍,且具有时间-效应关系。这说明该毒素能通过引起脑细胞凋亡基因的表达异常,使脑细胞出现凋亡性形态损伤而导致脑细胞死亡;斑马鱼脑细胞可通过启动p53→bax→caspase-3线粒体径路实现其对该毒素的响应机制;束丝藻毒素具有损伤鱼类脑的神经毒性;这是束丝藻毒素引起脑细胞凋亡基因表达异常及超微结构损伤的直接证据,也是脑细胞在基因水平对束丝藻毒素积极响应分子机理的首次报道。     

斜生栅藻对振荡和磷胁迫的生理生化响应

为了探讨水文条件的变化对常见绿藻水华发生的潜在影响,实验以斜生栅藻为材料,研究了不同水流状态及磷浓度对其生长及磷利用策略的影响。实验分别设置静止条件(0 r/min)、低振荡条件(90 r/min)和高振荡条件(120 r/min),同时设置磷限制(0.2 mg/L)和磷充足(2 mg/L)两组磷浓度,整个实验过程为3周。实验过程测定的指标为:比生长速率、胞外碱性磷酸酶活性、叶绿素a含量以及磷吸收动力学参数。实验结果表明:(1)同静止条件相比,低振荡和高振荡条件均能显著降低斜生栅藻的比生长速率,但是两种不同磷浓度下其比生长速率却无显著性差异。(2)在实验第21天时,振荡条件培养下,斜生栅藻的胞外碱性磷酸酶活性显著高于静止条件培养,与此相反,胞内磷浓度却显著高于静止条件。(3)在磷限制条件下斜生栅藻的叶绿素a含量显著降低,同时两种振荡条件培养均使其在磷充足条件下叶绿素a含量降低。(4)通过磷吸收动力学参数的比较,静止条件培养的斜生栅藻对磷的亲和力高于其在振荡条件下。由此可见,斜生栅藻适应于静止无扰动且磷营养丰富的水体,随着水体中磷浓度进一步升高,静止和水流缓慢的水体存在导致像斜生栅藻这一类绿藻发生水华的风险。       

REGULATION OF GAS VESICLE CONTENT AND BUOYANCY IN LIGHT-OR PHOSPHATE-LIMITED CULTURES OF APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE (CYANOPHYTA)1

Measurements of the gas vesicle space in steady-state light or phosphate-limited cultures of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae Ralfs, strain 7905 showed that gas vesicle content decreased as energy-limited growth rate increased but was the same at several phosphate-limited growth rates. Upon a decrease in growth irradiance, gas vesicle content did increase in phosphate-limited cultures, but the cultures remained nonbuoyant as long as P was limiting. Buoyant, energy-limited cultures lost their buoyancy in less than 2 h when exposed to higher irradiances. The primary mechanism for buoyancy loss was the accumulation of polysaccharide as ballast. Collapse of gas vesicles by turgor pressure played a minor role in the loss of buoyancy. When cultures were exposed to higher irradiances, cells continued to synthesize gas vesicles at the same rate as before the shift for at least 1 generation time. The amount of ballast required to make individual filaments in the population sink varied 4-fold. This variation appears to be due to differences in gas vesicle content among individual filaments.

OXYGEN-INDUCED CHANGES IN MORPHOLOGY OF AGGREGATES OF APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE (CYANOPHYCEAE): IMPLICATIONS FOR NITROGEN FIXATION POTENTIALS1

The filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (L.) Ralfs forms bundle or fake shaped aggregates which can provide buoyancy control, protection against intense illumination, enhancement of phycosphere nutrient regeneration, and which may result from size-selective herbivory by zooplankton. The dimensions of aggregates can change quickly. In this study, after a period of darkness, illumination caused aggregates to elongate approximately five-fold over a 10-15 min period. The metamorphosis was reversible upon cessation of illumination and through successive light-dark cycles. Manipulations of environmental oxygen concentration and photosystem Ü activity (via DCMU amendment), together with measurements made inside flakes with O₂-sensitive microelectrocles, showed that the metamorphosis was a response to oxygen concentration and operated to enhance diffusive efflux of photosynthetically produced oxygen during illumination. During darkness oxygen concentration within contracted aggregates became severely depleted relative to the environment. We propose that metamorphic minimization of local oxygen concentration is an adaptation that enhances the ability of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae to fix atmospheric nitrogen via the oxygen-labile nitrogenase enzyme system.     

水华鱼腥藻生长与光合作用对大气CO2浓度升高的响应

 为了探讨大气CO2浓度升高对水华藻类的影响,利用水华鱼腥藻(Anabena flos_aquae)作为实验材料,研究了大气CO2浓度加倍对其生长和光合作用的影响,结果显示大气CO2浓度升高导致水华鱼腥藻的生物量、光饱和光合速率、光合效率和光系统II的光化学效率（Fv/Fm）明显提高,但对暗呼吸速率和光饱和点没有明显影响。CO2加倍条件下藻细胞光合作用对无机碳的亲和力降低,表明其利用HCO-3的能力受到抑制。     

香瓜梨对温度响应的生理特性研究

置于不同温度（５－３５℃）下的香瓜梨幼苗,在１５－３０℃时叶片的光合速度较高。２０℃时的标株叶片具有最高的光合速率,光事电子传递活性,ＰＳＩＩ的光化效率和电子传递的量子效率,叶绿素含量,但细胞膜透性最低。５－１０℃的低温和３５℃的高温明显降低生理参数,且随处理时间的长,其降低程度越明显,解除５℃的低温处理后转自然温度环境（１５－２０℃）中６ｄ,叶片细胞的电解质渗漏降低。     

INTERACTION OF NITROGEN FIXATION AND PHOSPHORUS LIMITATION IN APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE (CYANOPHYCEAE)1

The effect of simultaneous nitrogen fixation and phosphorus limitation on the physiological adaptation and growth performance of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (L.) Ralfs PCC 7905 was studied in continuous culture. In the absence of ammonia, N₂ fixation occurred and the maximum growth rate (as determined in diluted batch cultures) was lower. However, no distinction could be made between the steady-state N uptake rates (based on cellular N contents) of N₂-fixing cells and cells grown with ammonia. At the higher dilution rates, the residual P concentration increased with increasing dilution rate, more so under N₂-fixing conditions, compared to the cultures grown in the presence of ammonia. More generally, the yield of biomass per consumed P, as the biomass concentration itself, decreased with increasing dilution rate, and both were lower under N₂-fixing conditions. The restricted biomass production under N₂-fixing conditions suggests that reduction of N loading may benefit lake restoration projects. The influence of N₂-fixation on the severity of P limitation is discussed in terms of metabolic control analysis. From the increase of the residual P concentration on switching from ammonium to N₂-fixing conditions, it is deduced that under N₂-fixing and P-limited conditions, control of growth is shared by N and P metabolism.     

南方4种草本植物对铝胁迫生理响应的研究

 不同的植物对铝胁迫的生理响应不同, 因而对铝毒的耐性也不相同。设置5种铝浓度,进行砂培法处理,研究了4种我国南方红壤广泛分布的草本植物——牵牛(Pharbitis nil)、望江南(Cassia occidentlis)、光头稗(Echinochloa colonum)和合萌(Aeschynomene indica)的种子萌发、光合色素、脯氨酸含量、丙二醛(MDA)含量、可溶性糖(SS)含量、质膜透性(MP)、过氧化氢酶 (CAT) 活性以及过氧化物酶 (POD)活性的变化。结果表明铝对4种植物的生理特性都有明显的影响。4种植物的种子在10 000 mg·L－1 Al3+处理条件下都不能萌发。2 000 mg·L－1 Al3+处理都不利于4种植物的生长,与对照相比,2 000 mg·L－1 Al3+处理时4种草本植物叶绿素和叶绿素总含量显著降低(p<0.05);MDA含量和MP显著增加(p<0.05);脯氨酸含量极显著增加(p<0.01);POD和CAT活性极显著降低(p<0.01)。中低铝(80和400 mg·L－1)处理时,牵牛和合萌与对照相比,MP和MDA含量降低,POD和CAT活性升高;望江南的反应与牵牛和合萌的反应相反;光头稗在80 mg·L－1 Al3+处理时,与牵牛和合萌的变化一致,在400 mg·L－1 Al3+处理时,则相反。植物在中低铝处理条件下,通过维持较高的POD和CAT活性和脯氨酸、叶绿素含量,较低的MP和MDA含量来增加其对铝的耐性。     

RESPONSE OF ANABAENA FLOS-AQUAE (CYANOPHYTA) NITROGENASE ACTIVITY TO SUDDEN PHOSPHATE DEPRIVATION1

Cultures of Anabaena flos-aquae (Lyng.) Breb. Were used to determine changes in nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction) after external concentrations of phosphorus were lowered. Two days following immersion in phosphorus-free medium, nitrogenase activity (NA) had doubled and required 8 days to return to time zero levels. Subsequent long-term experiments showed that concentrations of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) released from the algae transferred into the –P medium reached maximum levels by day 3 and returned to initial low values by days 7–10. NA was always highest during this SRP release-reassimilation phase but steadily decreased after reassimilation was complete. Day 56 NA was 5–14% of initial activity. The data support the hypothesis that heterocyst and vegetative cell ATP pools are discrete and suggest that the short-term effects of phosphorus removal as an aquatic restoration technique need further study.     

群体和单细胞微囊藻对短期温度变化的生理响应

为了探索短期温度变化对群体微囊藻和单细胞微囊藻的影响, 在室内受控模拟条件下研究了在10℃、25℃和35℃三个温度梯度下, 群体和单细胞微囊藻对短期温度变化的生理响应。研究表明: 与对照组25℃相比, 在10℃培养下, 微囊藻叶绿素浓度显著降低, SOD活性和死亡率均显著增加。与群体微囊藻相比, 在10℃下单细胞微囊藻叶绿素浓度显著下降, F_v/F_m下降, SOD活性显著增加。在35℃培养下, 单细胞微囊藻叶绿素浓度上升, 死亡率和SOD活性增加, 而群体微囊藻则呈现出叶绿素浓度和死亡率降低, CAT活性增加。结果表明短期的温度变化影响了群体和单细胞微囊藻生理机制, 与单细胞微囊藻相比, 群体更能适应短期的温度胁迫, 导致其更具优势。
