The small phytoplankton genus Triparma belongs to the class Bolidophyceae and contains two distinct forms: silicified species and naked flagellated species (formerly Bolidomonas). Recent studies showed that four silicified species/strains (Triparma laevis f. inornata, T. laevis f. longispina, T. strigata, and T. aff. verrucosa) belong to a single clade that is paraphyletic, because it also contains an unclassified flagellated strain, and is sister to a flagellated species, T. eleuthera. In this study, we isolated and characterized two new strains of silicified species to test the phylogenetic unity of silicified bolidophytes. The isolates were identified as T. retinervis strains because they possessed fine areolation on the cell wall. 18S rDNA and rbcL phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that T. retinervis formed a new silicified clade that is sister to the flagellated species T. pacifica. This reveals that there are at least two distinct clades including both silicified and flagellated Triparma species. 相似文献

A small siliceous species of marine phytoplankton, order Parmales (Heterokonta), was isolated and characterized for the first time with the aid of a fluorescent silicon tracer 2‐(4‐pyridyl)‐5‐([4‐(2‐dimethylaminoethylaminocarbamoyl)‐methoxy]phenyl)oxazole (PDMPO). This dye was easily detected by clear fluorescence in newly produced silica cell plates. Our isolate was surrounded by eight smooth plates without any ornamentation, suggesting a similarity to Triparma laevis B. C. Booth. TEM observation showed the typical ultrastructure of photosynthetic heterokontophytes; with two chloroplast endoplasmic reticulate membranes, a girdle lamella, three thylakoid lamellae, and mitochondrion with tubular cristae. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of SSU rDNA and rbcL genes showed that the parmalean alga was within the bolidophycean clade of autotrophic naked flagellates and a sister group of diatoms. HPLC analysis detected chl a, c1 + c2, and c3; fucoxanthin; and diadinoxanthin as major photosynthetic pigments, and a composition that is shared with Bolidophyceae and diatoms. Together, these data indicate a close evolutionary relationship between Parmales, Bolidophyceae, and diatoms. The PDMPO‐staining procedure should accelerate isolation of other Parmales species, helping to establish their diversity and aiding quantitative study of their role in oceanic processes. 相似文献

The capitate and rectangular demes of the freshwater epipelic diatom Sellaphora pupula (Kütz.) Mereschk. are dioecious, the first such report for any freshwater diatom. Sexual differentiation, which is probably determined genetically, involves recognition at the cell surface as well as differences in gamete behavior (one gametangium produces an active "male" gamete, the other a passive "female" gamete). In culture, successful sexual reproduction occurs only when compatible clones are mixed. All cells of a clone behave identically in interclonal crosses, being either male or female, regardless of the stage of the life cycle, in contrast to the sequential hermaphroditism of centric diatoms. Males and females have identical frustule morphology. As in other diatoms, there is an upper size threshold for sexual reproduction, below which cells become progressively easier to sexualize. In culture, sexual interactions occur in cells much smaller than those ever seen in natural populations, so that in nature the sexual size range is effectively open. Natural populations almost always contain sexualizable cells; often, most of the cells are below the upper sexual size threshold. Male gametangia are, on average, slightly larger than females in the capitate deme, which may be produced by preferential polyandry, depleting the population of males and making them younger at mating. Rarely, selfing occurs producing zygotes, but these abort before producing initial cells. The sizes of the gametangia and initial cells are correlated but this does not invalidate the use of "cardinal points" of the life cycle in taxonomy. No interbreeding occurs between the rectangular and capitate demes. However, when males of one deme are mixed with females of the other, there is a stimulation of activity, as during the early stages of pairing in compatible intrademic crosses. 相似文献

The auxosporulation of Licmophora communis is allogamous and dioecious. Pairing between sessile, shortstalked cells of compatible clones is followed by meiosis and gametogenesis, to form two gametes in each gametangium. The behavior of the gametes differs between the gametangia. In the male gametangium, the gametes detach from the frustule, round up, and migrate out of the gametangium after its dehiscence at the broader, unattached pole. In the female gametangium, both gametes remain attached to the adjacent theca over almost their whole length and do not move. Plasmogamy therefore occurs within the female gametangium and this is where the zygotes are formed and remain. After fertilization, the zygotes detach from the thecae of the female gametangia, contract, and become ellipsoidal, before expanding parallel to the apical axis of the gametangium. We review the types of auxosporulation in other pennate diatoms and the systems used for classifying these. Dioecy and cis‐type anisogamy (in which one gametangium produces active gametes and the other produces passive gametes), as in L. communis, are probably primitive within the pennate group (although there is no information on the AsterionellopsisRhaphoneis clade). However, size can also be restored in various araphid pennates by allogamous sexual reproduction involving the formation of only one gamete per gametangium, or in rare cases by automixis or (apparently) vegetative enlargement. 相似文献

Thalassiosira species are common components of marine planktonic communities worldwide and are used intensively as model experimental organisms. However, data on life cycles and sexuality within the genus are fragmentary. A clone of the cosmopolitan marine diatom Thalassiosira punctigera Cleve emend. Hasle was isolated from the North Sea and oogamous sexual reproduction was observed in culture. Cells approximately 45 μm and smaller became sexualized. Oogonia were produced preferentially and spermatogenesis was infrequent. Unfertilized oogonia always aborted and their development was apparently arrested at prophase of meiosis I. Further progression through meiosis and auxospore formation occurred only after a sperm had penetrated into the oocyte. Many cells of the new large‐celled generation (approximately 90–120 μm in size) immediately became sexualized again but only oogonia were produced. A few of the large oogonia became auxospores and produced initial cells 132–153 μm in diameter. The second step of auxosporulation probably involved fertilization of large‐celled oocytes by the sperm of the small‐celled spermatogonangia that were still present in the culture. An F1 clone obtained after selfing within the small‐celled auxosporulation size range was investigated. Like the parent clone, the F1 clone was homothallic but no auxosporulation was observed: spermatogonangia were unable to produce viable sperm, apparently because of inbreeding depression. Aggregation and interaction of oogonia were documented, and may be relevant for understanding the mechanisms of signaling and recognition between sexualized cells and the evolution of sexuality in pennate diatoms. 相似文献

Skeletonema costatum (Grev.) Cl. exhibits an asexual means, of increasing cell size that is more common than auxosporulation. This phenomenon accounts for the genetic stability of S. costatum in culture and for the deficiency of heterozygotes in natural populations, and has important implications far the life history of this species. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. The life cycles of 3 strains of Allogromia laticollaris, a monothalamous foraminiferan, have been studied. Each of the strains had a different, nonclassical, and basically apogamic, life cycle. The Cold Spring Harbor (CSH) strain regularly alternated between 2 agamontic forms: agamont I (uninucleate and diploid) and agamont II (multinucleate and diploid). The complete life cycle took 26 days. Sexual reproduction was rare (0.01%) and autogamous. Small numbers of organisms also underwent budding, binary fission, and cytotomy. The life cycles of the Towd Point (TPA) and Sippewissett (SIP) strains were comparatively abbreviated. Agamont II dominated their typical life cycles, which were completed in 16-18 days. The life cycle of SIP was basically a continuous cycling of the agamont II phase. Approximately 75% of the schizozoites of the TPA strain developed into agamont II. The other 25% alternated between agamont II and agamont I phase. In the CSH strain schizozoites with ~ 8 (range 5-15) nuclei characterized newly formed agamonts II. More nuclei (~ 25) were found in the other 2 strains. The nuclei in young agamonts II underwent rapid morphologic changes leading to a “mushroom-like” chromosome appearance and extensive RNA synthesis. Nucleolar material accumulated at the nuclear periphery and eventually was discharged to the cytoplasm. Karyokinesis took place without the breakdown of the nuclear membrane. The single nucleus of young agamont I forms was proportionally quite large. The S1 phase occurred quite early (2-5 days) in this part of the life cycle. RNA in the CSH strain formed a compact, subcortical, coarsely granular ring, while in the TPA it was cortical and differentiated into finely granular matrix with randomly distributed coarse granules. During the G2 phase the nucleus became further enlarged and eventually amoeba-form. Intermediate stages in nuclear breakdown were not found. 相似文献

Quantitative cytological and fatty acid composition was determined for the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana Kütz, Data from four separate experiments were examined to elucidate changes that may occur with respect to daily photoperiod. Overall, fatty acid composition is similar to that reported for other diatoms with the exception that the C16 fatty acids constitute approximately 70% of all fatty acids. The major fatty acids are C14:0, 16:1, 16:0, 18:0, and 20:5. Fatty acids that are present in minor amounts are iso-14:0, iso-15:0, 15:0, 17:0, 18:4, 18:2, 18:1, 19:0, 20:0, 22:0, and 23:0. Cytological composition is similar to that previously reported with the chloroplast and vacuole being the largest compartments within the cell. Changes in both cytological and fatty acid composition were studied with respect to the light / dark cycle. Chloroplast and lipid relative volume are greatest during the early part of the dark period. Nuclear relative volume is lowest in the dark and increases throughout the light period. Total unsaturated fatty acids, including the C20:5 fatty acid, are lowest in the early part of the light period and highest in the dark. The sum of the C16 fatty acids remains constant at 70% of total fatty acids in the cells throughout the light/dark cycle, although percent composition of these two fatty acids shifts. The data suggest that cyclical changes occur in both quantitative morphology and fatty acids composition with respect to daily photoperiod. The cells, although not rigidly synchronized, most likely divide in the latter part of the dark period or in the first hours of the light period. Lipids increase dramatically in the dark. The ecological implications of lipid storage are discussed in relation to lipophilic toxicants. 相似文献

Cell division, the mating system, and auxosporulation were studied in the marine epipelic diatom Seminavis cf. robusta Danielidis & D. G. Mann. The interphase protoplast contains two girdle‐appressed chloroplasts, each with an elongate bar‐like pyrenoid, and also a central nucleus, located in a bridge between two vacuoles. Before cell division, the chloroplasts divide transversely and translocate onto the valves. The nucleus relocates to the ventral side for mitosis. After cytokinesis and valve formation, the chloroplasts move back to the girdle, showing a constant clockwise movement relative to the epitheca of the daughter cell. Seminavis cf. robusta is dioecious, and sexual reproduction is possible once cells are less than 50 μm. In crosses of compatible clones, gametangia pair laterally, without the formation of a copulation envelope, and produce two gametes apiece. The intensity of sexualization increases as cells reduce further in size below the 50‐μm threshold. At plasmogamy, the gametangia dehisce fully and the gametes, which were morphologically and behaviorally isogamous, fuse in the space between the gametangial thecae. The auxospore forms a transverse and longitudinal perizonium. After expansion is complete, there is an unequal contraction of the protoplast within the perizonium, creating the asymmetrical shape of the vegetative cell. Apart from this last feature, almost all characteristics exhibited by the live cell and auxospores of Seminavis agree with what is found in Navicula sensu stricto, supporting the classification of both in the Naviculaceae. Haploid parthenogenesis and polyploid auxospores were found, lending support to the view that change in ploidy may be a significant mechanism in diatom evolution. 相似文献

A new order, Parmales, in the Chrysophyceae has cells with siliceous walls made up of round, triradiate and sometimes oblong plates all fitting edge to edge. In the new family, Octolaminaceae, cell walls have eight plates. Cell walls in the new genus Tetraparma have four round plates and four triradiate plates. Cell walls in the new genus Triparma have three round plates of equal size, one larger round plate, one triradiate plate and three oblong plates. In the new family, Pentalaminaceae, cell walls have three round and two triradiate plates. A total of seven new species and four subspecies are described from subarctic Pacific and Antarctic waters. 相似文献

Photosynthetic organisms in nature often experience light fluctuations. While low light conditions limit the energy uptake by algae, light absorption exceeding the maximal rate of photosynthesis may go along with enhanced formation of potentially toxic reactive oxygen species. To preempt high light-induced photodamage, photosynthetic organisms evolved numerous photoprotective mechanisms. Among these, energy-dependent fluorescence quenching (qE) provides a rapid mechanism to dissipate thermally the excessively absorbed energy. Diatoms thrive in all aquatic environments and thus belong to the most important primary producers on earth. qE in diatoms is provided by a concerted action of Lhcx proteins and the xanthophyll cycle pigment diatoxanthin. While the exact Lhcx activation mechanism of diatom qE is unknown, two lumen-exposed acidic amino acids within Lhcx proteins were proposed to function as regulatory switches upon light-induced lumenal acidification. By introducing a modified Lhcx1 lacking these amino acids into a Phaeodactylum tricornutum Lhcx1-null qE knockout line, we demonstrate that qE is unaffected by these two amino acids. Based on sequence comparisons with Lhcx4, being incapable of providing qE, we perform domain swap experiments of Lhcx4 with Lhcx1 and identify two peptide motifs involved in conferring qE. Within one of these motifs, we identify a tryptophan residue with a major influence on qE establishment. This tryptophan residue is located in close proximity to the diadinoxanthin/diatoxanthin-binding site based on the recently revealed diatom Lhc crystal structure. Our findings provide a structural explanation for the intimate link of Lhcx and diatoxanthin in providing qE in diatoms. 相似文献

The availability of extensive experimental data and remarkable intra- and interspecific variation in breeding behaviour make Achnanthes Bory sensu stricto an especially good model for studying the reproductive and population biology of pennate diatoms. In most Achnanthes species studied, auxospore formation is accompanied by biparental sexual reproduction, but we found uniparental auxosporulation in Achnanthes cf. subsessilis. Auxosporulation appears to be apomictic and follows contraction of the contents of unpaired cells and then a mitotic division, which is normally acytokinetic: one nucleus aborts before the cell develops into an auxospore. Rarely, both daughter nuclei survive and cytokinesis produces two auxospores (two auxospores per mother cell is highly unusual in pennate diatoms); one may abort. Expansion of auxospores is not accompanied by deposition of a transverse perizonium, but a longitudinal perizonium is produced and consists of a wide central strip (structurally similar to the araphid valve) and at least one narrow lateral strip. This newly discovered asexual lineage in Achnanthes is discussed in relation to other reproductive systems found in the genus, and also in relation to the ‘sex clock’ hypothesis concerning the adaptive significance of the diatom life cycle. Brief information on chloroplast division and nuclear dynamics over the cell cycle is also presented. 相似文献

- Goal, Scope, Background. As of July 1st, 2006, lead will be banned in most solder pastes used in the electronics industry. This has called for environmental evaluation of alternatives to tin-lead solders. Our life cycle assessment (LCA) has two aims: (i) to compare attributional and consequential LCA methodologies, and (ii) to compare a SnPb solder (62% tin, 36% lead, 2% silver) to a Pb-free solder (95.5% tin, 3.8% silver, 0.7% copper). Methods An attributional LCA model describes the environmental impact of the solder life cycle. Ideally, it should include average data on each unit process within the life cycle. The model does not include unit processes other than those of the life cycle investigated, but significant cut-offs within the life cycle can be avoided through the use of environmentally expanded input-output tables. A consequential LCA model includes unit processes that are significantly affected irrespective of whether they are within or outside the life cycle. Ideally, it should include marginal data on bulk production processes in the background system. Our consequential LCA model includes economic partial equilibrium models of the lead and scrap lead markets. However, both our LCA models are based on data from the literature or from individual production sites. The partial equilibrium models are based on assumptions. The life cycle impact assessment is restricted to global warming potential (GWP). Results and Discussion The attributional LCA demonstrates the obvious fact that the shift from SnPb to Pb-free solder means that lead is more or less eliminated from the solder life cycle. The attributional LCA results also indicate that the Pb-free option contributes 10% more to the GWP than SnPb. Despite the poor quality of the data, the consequential LCA demonstrates that, when lead use is eliminated from the solder life cycle, the effect is partly offset by increased lead use in batteries and other products. This shift can contribute to environmental improvement because lead emissions are likely to be greatly reduced, while batteries can contribute to reducing GWP, thereby offsetting part of the GWP increase in the solder life cycle. Conclusions The shift from SnPb to Pb-free solder is likely to result in reduced lead emissions and increased GWP. Attributional and consequential LCAs yield complementary knowledge on the consequences of this shift in solder pastes. At present, consequential LCA is hampered by the lack of readily available marginal data and the lack of input data to economic partial equilibrium models. However, when the input to a consequential LCA model is in the form of quantitative assumptions based on a semi-qualitative discussion, the model can still generate new knowledge. Recommendations and Outlook Experts on partial equilibrium models should be involved in consequential LCA modeling in order to improve the input data on price elasticity, marginal production, and marginal consumption. 相似文献

Among 17 species and cultivars of plants exposed to Anguina plantaginis, only Plantago aristata (bracted plantain) was a host. Larvae penetrated the emerging apical meristem; reproduces and migrated progressively; caused twisting and galling of leaves, looping andspiraling of peduncles, and transformation of floral structures into galls. Extreme infections caused stunting and death of entire plants. Hypertrophy and hyperplasia of leaf mesophyll, cell separation and disintegration, and xylem wall thickening in older galls occurred. Only third-stage larvae were infective, and they exhibited cryptobiosis under adverse conditions. 相似文献
