Determination of Volume of Dunaliella Cells by Lithium Dilution Measurements and Derivation of Internal Solute Concentrations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A method has been developed to measure the cell volume of theunicellular green alga Dunaliella parva 19/9 using Li+ measurementsonly. Concentrations of internal solutes can also be calculatedif they are assayed in the same samples as Li+. We found thatD. parva cells grown in 0.4 kmol m3 NaCl have an averageaqueous cell volume of 65.1 ?2.9 µm3, a K+ concentrationof 126?6 mol m3, a Na+ concentration of 11?11 mol m3and a glycerol concentration of 615?27 mol m3 (n= 12).Algae grown in 1.5 kmol m3 NaCl have an average aqueouscell volume of 131 ?7.5 µm3, a K+ concentration of 109?4mol m3, a Na+ concentration of 10?39 mol m3 anda glycerol concentration of 1 425?59 mol m3 (n = 12).These results indicate that D. parva cells adapted to high salinitieshave larger cell volumes than those adapted to lower salinities.However, there is no evidence for a significant difference ininternal Na+ concentration, despite the almost 4-fold differencein the concentration of external NaCl. The intracellular glycerolconcentration alone accounts for 65% and 54%, respectively,of the osmotic balance in low and high salt grown cells.

Etiolated oat protoplasts were treated with dibutyryl cAMP tostudy possible function of cAMP in the development by measuringthe protoplast swelling. The mean diameter of protoplasts inthe absence of any chemical treatment was 33.58±1.26(SE) µm, which increased to 36.96±0.86 µmin the presence of 100 µM dibutyryl cAMP. Prostacyclin,a potent activator of adenyl cyclase, also showed a significantswelling effect (diameter 38.01±0.98 µm). Red lightalso elicited the swelling of protoplasts (40.26±0.8µm).

The Permeability of Ammonia, Methylamine and Ethylamine in the Charophyte Chara corallina (C. australis) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ritchie, R. J. 1987. The permeability of ammonia, methylamineand ethylamine in the charophyte Chara corallina (C. australis).J.exp. Bot. 38: 6776 The permeabilities of the amines, ammonia (NH3), methylamine(CH3NH2) and ethylamine (CH3CH2NH2) in the giant-celled charophyteChara corallina (C. australis) R.Br. have been measured andcompared. The permeabilities were corrected for uptake fluxesof the amine cations. Based on net uptake rates, the permeabilityof ammonia was 6?4?0?93 µm s1 (n = 38). The permeabilitiesof methylamine and ethylamine were measured in net and exchangeflux experiments. The permeabilities of methylamine were notsignificantly different in net and exchange experiments, norto that of ammonia (Pmethylamine = 6?0?0?49 µm s1(n = 44)). In net flux experiments the apparent permeabilityof ethylamine was slightly greater than that of ammonia andmethylamine (Pethylamine, net = 8?4?1?2 µm s1 (n= 40)) but the permeability of ethylamine based on exchangeflux data was significantly higher (Pethylamine, exchange =14?1?2 µm s1 (n = 20)). Methylamine can be validlyused as an ammonium analogue in permeability studies in Chara. The plasmalemma of Chara has acid and alkaline bands; littlediffusion of uncharged amines would occur across the acid bands.The actual permeability of amines across the alkaline bandsis probably about twice the values quoted above on a whole cellbasis i.e. the permeability of ammonia across the permeablepart of the plasmalemma is probably about 12 µm s1.

The structure of ciliated cells from the siphon of Solen capensishas been studied by both scanning and transmission electronmicroscopy. Two types of ciliated cell, based on the numberand length of cilia have been described which resemble thosedescribed in Donax. Type I is characterized by having 2657({macron}= 43, n = 50) cilia which are 2.5 µm in length;Type II has fewer cilia (510; {macron}= 7) which are5 µn long. Both are primary receptors. Estimations ofabundance show that receptors are most numerous on the tipsof the siphon tentacles (8.8 x 103/mm2). (Received 15 January 1985; 相似文献

Hydrobiological studies in the Straits of Dover show a differencebetween the characteristics of the French coastal water andthe open sea water. A cruise between Boulogne-sur-mer and Dover(October 15, 1985) confirms the existence of a frontal area(4 miles off the French coast). This area is characterized byan increase of the salinity (1%) and decrease of the suspendedmatter content (from 27 to 20 mg l1), of primary production(from 15 to 3 mg C m3h1) and of chlorophyll aconcentration (from 4.5 to 1.5 mg m3). The presence ofdifferent zooplanktonic species in the two water masses alsocharacterizes this discontinuity. Oncaea sp., Corycaeus anglicus,Centropages typicus and Calanus helgolandicus are indicatorspecies of open sea water, while Cyciopina littoralis and Saphirellaare only present in coastal water. 相似文献

Smith, J. R., Smith, F. A. and Walker, N. A. 1987. Potassiumtransport across the membrane of Chara. I. The relationshipbetween radioactive tracer influx and electrical conductance.J.exp. Bot. 38:731751. The 42K influx () and the electrical conductance (Gm) were measured simultaneously for the membraneof internodal cells of Chara australis as a function of theexternal [KCl] (K?. In bathing solutions of pH = 5?0, progressively increased from 20?5to 430?60 nmol m2 s1 and Gm increased from 0?36?0?02to 3?8?0?8 S m2 when K? was increased from 0?1 to 10mol m3. The resting membrane potential difference (p.d.)was approximately -135 mV for low K? and approached the expectedNernst equilibrium p.d. for K+ ions when K? > 1?0 mol m3.Measurements of 36Cl influx suggested that the 42K influx waspredominantly electrogenic. The equivalent Goldman permeabilityto K+ ions (Pk) was approximately 2030 nm s1 anddid not vary significantly with increasing K?. The equivalentconductance attributable to the electrogenic transport of K+ ions was calculated from assuming passive, independent diffusionof K+ ions and the ratio was found to be typically close to one. It was also found that themagnitudes of and Gm measuredsimultaneously for each individual cell were also well correlatedfor K? 1?0 mol m3, and that the slope of the line ofbest fit was close to one. For each K? it was found that theconductance not attributable to K+ translocation and presumablyassociated primarily with the transport of protons or theirequivalents was typically 0?20?5 Sm2. For K? >1?0 mol m3 the results indicated that the transport ofK+ ions was essentially independent, i.e. there was no evidencefor flux interactions. The results also indicated that the equivalentconductance derived from the measured 42K influx could usefullyindicate the fraction of the electrical conductance attributableto the translocation of K+ ions.

Yield stress threshold (Y) and volumetric extensibility () arethe rheological properties that appear to control root growth.In this study they were measured in wheat roots by means ofparallel measurement of the growth rate (r) of intact wheatroots and of the turgor pressures (P) of individual cells withinthe expansion zone. Growth and turgor pressure were manipulatedby immersion in graded osmoticum (mannitol) solutions. Turgorwas measured with a pressure probe and growth rate by visualobservation. The influence of various growth conditions on Yand was investigated; (a) At 27 °C.In 0.5 mol m3 CaCl2 r, P, Y and were20.7±4.6 µm min1, 0.77±0.05 MPa,0.07±0.03 MPa and 26±1.9 µm min1MPa1 (expressed as increase in length), respectively.Following 24 h growth in 10 mol m3 KC1 these parametersbecame 12.3±3.5 µm min1, 0.72±0.04MPa, 0.13±0.01 MPa and 21±0.7 µm min1MPa1. After 24 h osmotic adjustment in 150 mol m3mannitol/0.5 mol m3 CaCl2 r= 19.6±4.2 µmmin1, P = 0.68±0.05 MPa and Y and were 0.07±0.04MPa and 30±0.2 µm min1 MPa01, respectively.After 24 h growth in 350 mol m3 mannitol/0.5 mol m3CaCl2 r= 13.3±4.1 µm min1, P= 0.58±0.07MPa, Y=0.12±0.01 MPa and ø 32±0.2 tim min1MPa1. During osmotic adjustment in 200 mol m3mannitol/0.5 mol m3 CaCl2, with or without KCl, the recoveryof growth rate corresponded to turgor pressure recovery (t1/2approximately 3 h). (b) At 15 °C. Lowered temperature dramatically influencedthe growth parameters which became r= 8.3±2.8 um min1,P=0.78 MPa, r=<0.2 MPa and =15±0.1 µm min1MPa1. Therefore, Y and are influenced by 10 mol m3 K+ ionsand low temperature. In each case the effective pressure forgrowth (P-Y) was large indicating that small fluctuations ofsoil water potential will not stop root elongation.

Patchiness, collapse and succession of a cyanobacterial bloom evaluated by synoptic sampling and remote sensing 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Spatial patchiness and collapse of the cyanobacterium, Nodulariaspumigena, were evaluated in saline Pyramid Lake, Nevada, bytwo synoptic ground surveys and Landsat remote sensing. Horizontalvariation of surface water chlorophyll a during the first surveyranged from 3.6 to 9790 mg m3 and Nodularia biovolumewas between 416?103 and 347?106 µm3 ml1. Differencesin spatial and temporal resolution between synoptic ground surveys({small tilde}10m, hours) and Landsat imagery (80m, seconds)yielded a poor correlation when data were matched by commonground location. A regression model for estimating chlorophyllfrom Landsat radiance was developed by pairing equivalent frequenciesfrom cumulative relative frequency distributions of both variables.Wind driven advection precipitated bloom collapse shortly afterthe first synoptic sample and Nodularia mineralization producedhigh epilimnetic ammonium concentrations. Ammonium, silica fromfluvial sources, and density differences between river and lakewater masses stimulated succession to a Chaetoceros elmoreibloom within 8 days of the first synoptic survey. The 16 dayfly by interval of Landsat is too long to document such short-termbloom succession. Landsat imagery is most applicable for evaluatinginstantaneous, basin-scale horizontal patchiness and averagelakewide chlorophyll concentrations, while frequent synopticground surveys yield more accurate estimates of meso- and micro-scalephytoplankton patchiness and species succession. 相似文献

Hansen, A. P., Pate, J. S. and Atkins, C. A. 1987. Relationshipsbetween acetylene reduction activity, hydrogen evolution andnitrogen fixation in nodules of Acacia spp.: Experimental backgroundto assaying fixation by acetylene reduction under field conditions.J.exp. Bot. 38: 112 Glasshouse grown, symbiotically-dependent seedlings of Acaciaalata R.Br., .A. extensa Lindl., and A. pulchella R.Br. wereexamined for acetylene reduction in closed assay systems usingundisturbed potted plants, excavated whole plants, nodulatedroots or detached nodules. Nitrogenase activity declined sharplyover the first hour after exposure of detached nodules to acetylene(10% v/v in air), less steeply or not at all over a 3 h periodin assays involving attached nodules. Using detached nodules,rates of acetylene reduction, nitrogen (15N2) fixation, andhydrogen evolution in air (15N2) and acetylene-containing atmosphereswere measured in comparable 30 min assays. Total electron flowthrough nitrogenase in air was determined from rates of nitrogen(15N2) fixation ( ? 3) plus hydrogen evolution, that in thepresence of acetylene from rates of acetylene reduction andhydrogen evolution in air: acetylene. Values for the ratio ofelectron flow in air: acetylene to that in air ranged from 0?43to 0?83 in A. pulcheila, from 0?44 to 0?66 in A. alala and from0?37 to 0?70 in A. extensa, indicating substantial inhibitionof electron flow through nitrogenase of detached nodules byacetylene. Relative efficiencies of nitrogenase functioningbased on hydrogen evolution and acetylene reduction were from0?15 to 0?79, those based on nitrogen (15N2) fixation and hydrogenevolution from 0?53 to 0?87. Molar ratios of acetylene reducedto nitrogen (15N2) fixed were 2?82 ? 0?24, 201 ? 0?15, and 1?91? 0?11 (?s.e.; n = 7) for A. pulcheila,A. extensa and A. alata respectively A standard 510 min acetylene reduction assay, conductedon freshly detached unwashed nodules in daytime (12.0014.00h), was calibrated for field use by comparing total N accumulationof seedlings with estimated cumulative acetylene reduction overa 7-week period of glasshouse culture. Molar ratios for acetylenereduced: nitrogen fixed using this arbitrary method were 3?58for A. alata, 4?82 for A. extensa and 1?60 for A. pulchella.The significance of the data is discussed.

The theory and practice of applying the thermodynamics of irreversibleprocesses to mass-flow theories is presented. Onsager coefficientswere measured on cut and uncut phloem and cut xylem strandsof Heracleum muntegazzimum. In 0.3 N sucrose + 1 mN KC1 theyare as follows. In phloem, LEE = 5 ? 104 mho cm1,LpE = 9 ? 106 cm3 s1 cm2 volt1 cm,and LPP = 0.16 cm3 s1 cm2 (J cm3)1cm. In uncut phloem strands LEE is about 1 ? 103 mhocm1. In xylem in 2 x 103 N KCI, Lpp = 50 to 225,LPE = 2 ? 104, and LEE = 4 ? 103. The measurementsare tentative since the blockage of the sieve plates is an interferingfactor, but if they are valid they lead to the conclusion thatneither a pressure-flow nor an electro-kinetic mechanism envisaginga long distance current pathway can be the majormotive force for transport in mature phloem. Measurementsof biopotentials along conducting but laterally detached phloembundles of Heracleum suggest, nevertheless, that there may bea small electro-osmotic component of at least 0.1 mV cm1endogenous in the phloem. 相似文献

Root Hydraulic Conductivity of Two Cactus Species in Relation to Root Age, Temperature, and Soil Water Status 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5
The effects of root age, temperature, and soil water statuson root hydraulic conductivity (LP) were investigated for twocactus species, Ferocactus acanthodes and Opuntia ficus-indica.The volumetric flux density of water was measured for excisedroot segments, either using negative hydrostatic pressures appliedto the proximal end or using reverse flow of water from theroot to the soil. For both species, LP at 20 ?C increased withroot age, average values reaching a maximum of 3.9 ? 107m s1 MPa1 for F. acanthodes and 5.2 ? 107m s1 MPa1 for O.ficus-indica at 11 to 17 weeksof age; LP subsequently declined with increasing root age forboth species. LP was maximal at a temperature of about 10 ?Cfor the youngest roots (13 weeks), this optimum shiftingto 40 ?C for 8-week-old roots of both species. For older roots(up to 1.5-years-old), LP increased with temperature from 0?C to 50 ?C, with a Q10 of 1.3 between 20 ?C and 30 ?C. At asoil water potential (soil) of 0.016 MPa, root LP wasindependent of the direction of water flow for both species.Depending on root age, LP declined 45- to 500-fold for F. acanthodesand 90- to 800-fold for O.ficus-indica as soil was reduced from0.016 to 1.06 MPa, consistent with a rectifier-likebehaviour with respect to water movement between soil and roots.Incorporation of such responses into water uptake models shouldlead to a better understanding of root function.

Ginzburg, M., and Ginzburg, B. Z., 1985. Ion and glycerol concentrationsin 12 isolates of Dunaliella.J. exp. Bot. 36: 10641074. Twelve isolates of Dunaliella with average cell volumes rangingfrom 50 to 1400x1018 m3 were grown in batch culture at0.5 M or 2.0 M NaCl. Glycerol and ions (Na+, K+, Mg2+, CI,phosphate) were measured in log-phase cultures. The contentsof Mg2+, K+ and phosphate per cell were found to be a functionof cell-volume. Cell glycerol, Na+ and Cl were functionsof cell-volume and of the NaCl concentration in the medium.Solute concentrations were calculated from the measured cell-volumesand from the 3H2O content of pellets corrected for intercellularspace using Blue Dextran. Cell glycerol was found to accountfor about one-half of the expected osmolarity, the remainderbeing largely accounted for by Na+ and CI.

A study into the photophysiology, growth and migration of Ceratiumhirundinella in Chaffey Reservoir in subtropical northern NewSouth Wales, Australia, revealed that a proportion of cellsformed subsurface accumulations at depths that optimized lightintensity (212552 µmol photons m2 s1)for photosynthesis and cell growth. At high incident irradiance,Ceratium migrated downwards from the near-surface waters, avoidinghigh-light-induced, slow-recovering non-photochemical quenchingof photosystem II. Overnight deepening of the surface mixedlayer by convective cooling produced homogeneous distributionsof Ceratium with a significant proportion of the populationbelow the depth where light saturation of photosynthesis occurred.Ceratium migrated towards the surface from suboptimal lightintensities, at a velocity of 1.62.7 x 104 m s1.Subsurface accumulations occurred under a variety of turbulenceintensities; however, accumulation was significantly reducedwhen the turbulent velocity scale in the mixed layer was >5x 103 m s1, beyond which turbulent diffusion dominatedadvection by swimming. The formation of subsurface accumulationswith increased computed water column integral photosynthesisby 35% compared to a uniform cell distribution. 相似文献

Production ofpotato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV) by large scale fermentationof PSTVinfected potato cell suspension cultures.J.exp. Bot 36: 19851995. Cell suspension cultures of Solatiumdemissum, infected with the potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV),were scaled up to volumes of up to 800 dm3 to provide sufficientand uniform plant material for subsequent studies on viroidbiosynthesis. Here we describe the technological aspects ofproducing the required amounts of biomass and viroid. The cells,which had been maintained on a medium containing expensive coconutmilk, were first adapted to rapid growth on the less expensiveB5medium. The physiological state of the cells was monitoredby in vivo 31PNMR spectroscopy Under the chosen conditionsthe scaleup from 10 dm3 inoculum from shake flasks tothe harvest of the 800 dm3 stirred fermenter lasted 38 d andprovided 112 kg biomass. Growth characteristics and viroid productionin shake flasks and large bioreactors were rather similar. Gelelectrophoretic analysis of isolated nucleic acids using silverstaining and Northern blot hybridization revealed a PSTVcontentof approximately 700 µg PSTV per kg fresh mass of culturedcells.

Clint, G. M. 1985. The investigation of stomatal ionic relationsusing guard cell protoplasts. 1. Methodology.J exp. Bot.36: 17261738. A study was made of the methodology for the production and useof guard cell protoplasts in ion transport studies, with particularemphasis placed on the effects of the composition of the externalmedium on protoplast survival and performance. Addition of externalKCl to media during the production of guard cell protoplastsfrom Commelina communis L. was found to improve viability andto increase K+ content and physiological competence of the isolatedprotoplasts. Addition of low levels (20 x 103 mol m3)CaCl2 increased protoplast yield and the maintenance of viabilityin long-term incubation. Ambiguities and uncertainties werefound in the application of methods commonly used for the assessmentof viability of isolated protoplasts. Poor yields (despite highpercentage recoveries) together with difficulties in the assessmentof viability were considered to pose major potential problemsin the use of guard cell protoplasts in ion transport studies.

Cytoplasmic pH (pHc) in Chara corallina was measured (from [14C]stribution)as a function of external pH (pH0)and temperature. With pH0near 7, pHc at 25?C is 7.80; pHcincreases by 0.005 pH units?C1 temperature decrease, i.e. pHc at 5 ?C is 7.90. WithpH? near 5.5, the increase in pHc with decreasing temperatureis 0.015 units ?C1 between 25 and 15?C, but 0.005 units?C1 between 15 and 5?C. This implies a more precise regulationof pHc with variations in pHo at 5 or 15 ?C compared with 25?C. The observed dp Hc/dT is generally smaller than the 0.017units ?C1 needed to maintain a constant H+/OH1,or a constant fractional ionization of histidine in protein,with variation in temperature. It is closer to that needed tomaintain the fractional ionization of phosphorylated compoundsor of CO2HCO3 The value of dpHc/dT has importantimplications for several regulatory aspects of cell metabolism.These include (all as a function of temperature) the rates ofenzyme reactions, the H+ at the plasmalemma(and hence the energy available for cotransport processes),and the mechanism for pHc regulation by the control of bidirectionalH+ fluxes at the plasmalemma. 相似文献

Permeability coefficients (PS values) for CO2 of the plasmamembrane (PM) of the unicellular green algae Eremosphaera viridis,Dunaliella parva, and Dunaliella acidophila, and of mesophyllprotoplasts isolated from Valerianella locusta were determinedfrom 14CO2 uptake experiments using the rapid separation ofcells by the silicone oil layer centrifugation technique. Theexperimental PS values were compared with calculated numbersobtained by interpolation of Collander plots, which are basedon lipid solubility and molecular size, for D. parva cells,mesophyll protoplasts isolated from Spinacia oleracea, mesophyllcells and guard cells of Valerianella, and guard cell protoplastsisolated from Vicia faba. The conductivity of algal plasma membranes for CO2 varies between0.1 and 9 ? 106 m s1, whereas for the plasmalemmaof cells and protoplasts isolated from leaves of higher plantsvalues between 0.3 and 11 ? 106 m s1 were measured.By assuming that these measurements are representative for plantsand algae in general, it is concluded that the CO2 conductivityof algal PM is of the same order of magnitude as that of thehigher plant cell PM. Ps values of plasma membranes for CO2are lower than those for SO2, but are in the same order of magnitudeas those measured for H2O. On the basis of these results itis concluded that theoretical values of about 3000 ? 106m s1 believed to be representative for higher plant cells(Nobel, 1983) and which are frequently used for computer-basedmodels of photosynthesis, lack experimental confirmation andrepresent considerable overestimations. However, with severalsystems, including higher plant cells, the conductance of thePM for CO2 was significantly higher in light than in darkness.This suggests that in light, additional mechanisms for CO2 uptakesuch as facilitated diffusion or active uptake may operate inparallel with diffusional uptake.

Cells of Dunaliella tertiolecta which had been grown in ordinaryair (low-CO2 cells) had high carbonic anhydrase (CA) activityon the cell surface and mainly utilized HCO3 for photosynthesis.When CA activity on the cell surface was inhibited by Diamoxor subtilisin, the cells utilized CO2. When bovine CA was added,the subtilisin-treated low-CO2 cells utilized mainly HCO3.When grown in air containing 2% CO2, the cells had low CA activityon the cell surface, and preferred CO2 to HCO3. Kineticanalysis of these results indicated that low-CO2 cells of D.tertiolecta absorb CO2 which was converted from HCO3via the CA located on the cell surface.

The effects of 3?102 mol m3 fusicoccin (FC) onbromide fluxes and contents in isolated guard cells of Commelinacommunis L. have been studied using K82Br at pH 3?9 and pH 6?7.At pH 3?9 FC caused a reduction in both the influx and the effluxof 82Br, whereas at pH 6?7 FC had no effect on the influx butcaused a transient increase in the efflux of 82Br. There wasno obvious change in bromide content with FC treatment at eitherpH. The behaviour of the anion fluxes in response to FC suggeststhat FC does not act solely via a hyperpolarization at the plasmalemma.A redistribution of bromide between the intracellular compartmentssuggests that anion flux from the cytoplasm to the vacuole maybe stimulated by FC at pH 3?9. The failure of guard cells toincrease their anion content on treatment with FC despite anincrease in stomatal aperture and in cation content suggeststhat in FC-induced stomatal opening excess cation is balancedby organic acid synthesis within the guard cell.

To find whether cytoplasmic streaming in Acetabularia is controlledby Ca2+, a tonoplast-permeabilized cell model was prepared usinga vacuolar perfusion technique. The cytoplasmic streaming remainedalmost normal after perfusion with EGTA medium (10 mM EGTA,40 mM PIPES, 5mM MgCl2 and 800 mM sorbitol, pH 6.9), but stoppedwithin 10 min when saponin medium (EGTA medium plus 50 µg/mlsaponin, 50 µg/ml hexokinase and 5 mM glucose) was perfused.This model system was reactivated with a solution containing0.5 mM ATP and different concentrations of Ca2+ (reactivationmedium). With the reactivation medium at pCa 65, theresumed streaming lasted for about 10 min before the cytoplasmaggregated. At pCa 43, the streaming was observed onlyfor a few minutes because the cytoplasm aggregated quickly.At pCa 7, no reactivated movement was observed. Reactivationwas not induced in an ATP- or Mg2+-deficient medium even inthe presence of an adequate concentration of Ca2+, and was inhibitedby 50 µg/ml cytochalasin B or 1 mM N-ethylmaleimide. We concluded from these observations that the cytoplasmic streamingin Acetabularia is very likely to be driven by the actomyosinsystem in the presence of Mg-ATP and Ca2+ at pCa 65.
