阳光紫外辐射对褐藻羊栖菜生长和光合作用的影响

为探讨经济褐藻羊栖菜对阳光紫外辐射变化的响应,我们在全波段阳光辐射(280－700 nm),去除UV-B辐射(320－700 nm)以及光合有效辐射PAR (400－700 nm)三种辐射条件下对其进行培养,测定了其光合作用与生长的变化。羊栖菜的生长是通过每两天测量一次藻体的湿重来测定的,光合放氧是用Clark型氧电极测定的,为了测定藻体叶绿素a和紫外吸收物质的含量,从250 nm到750 nm对羊栖菜的甲醇提取液进行扫描,叶绿素a的浓度用Porra的公式计算,紫外吸收物质的计算是根据Dunlap的方法先计算紫外吸收物质和叶绿素a的比率,然后乘以每单位藻体叶绿素a的含量。结果表明,当藻体接收较多的日辐射量时有较高的相对生长速率,当滤除UVR后,较高的太阳辐射也导致了较高的光合放氧。然而太阳紫外辐射能够抑制藻体的光合放氧和生长速率,降低叶绿素a的浓度,并且这种抑制作用随着辐射水平的升高而增强。此外,阳光紫外辐射也诱导产生了一定量的紫外吸收物质,但并不足以抵抗紫外辐射对藻体的伤害作用。     

阳光紫外辐射对室内水培发状念珠藻生理特性的影响

发状念珠藻（Nostoc flagelliforme Bornet & Flahault）是一种重要的陆生经济蓝藻,室内培育出的原植体如何适应阳光辐射的问题尚需探讨。为此,作者将室内水培发菜置于阳光下培养,测定了其生长、有效光化学效率（F/Fm΄）和色素的变化。结果表明,较高的可见光（PAR,395－700 nm）和紫外辐射（UVR,280－395 nm）均导致水培发菜的F/Fm΄下降。第1天中午,PAR和UVR分别使F/Fm΄下降了54％和13％;傍晚,F/Fm΄有部分恢复。UVR对发菜适应阳光2d后的生长无负面作用。发菜在适应全阳光辐射期间,紫外吸收物质（Scytonemin和Mycosporine-like amino acids）含量不断增加,9d后,分别增加了124倍和9倍。这些紫外吸收物质的增加对发菜细胞降低光抑制,适应阳光辐射,起到了重要作用。本研究的结果可为水培发菜室外培养方法的建立提供一定的理论依据。     

温度对海带幼孢子体生长和光合作用的影响

根据欧盟项目的总体研究计划 ,在室内和围隔实验中研究了海带幼孢子体在不同温度条件下的生长情况和光合作用曲线 ,得出幼孢子体在 15°C下生长情况最好 ,而且其长度和重量的日增加量均和温度有线性相关关系。 Pm 值在 15℃时为 5 79mol O2 / (g DW· h) ,围隔实验中为 6 4 2 (mol O2 / (g DW· h)。由于围隔实验海区的光照强于室内 ,使得围隔中海带的光合作用曲线其光饱和点高于室内实验海带的光饱和点。海带光饱和参数 (Ik)与温度有线性相关关系 (R2 =0 .736 7,p<0 .0 5 )。5℃时 ,Ik 值平均为 96μE/ (m2 · s) ,10℃时为 71μE/ (m2 · s) ,15℃时为 31μE/ (m2 · s)。呼吸速率 R值在 5℃时最低 ,为 5 4μmol O2 / (g DW·h) ,10℃、15℃和围隔中均高于 5℃时的呼吸速率 ,并且在 10℃达到最高。本次实验研究得出的生长和光合作用参数将有助于合理确定桑沟湾中海带的养殖容量。     

颗石球缓解紫外辐射对颗石藻光合作用的胁迫

正颗石藻(Coccolithophore)是一类胞外具有数层钙质颗石粒(Coccolith)的海洋钙化金藻,在绝大部分海域均有分布。颗石藻通过光合固碳向深海沉降有机碳颗粒,同时其钙化作用形成的颗石粒是海底的重要沉积物。它们与钙化浮游动物翼足类(Petropod)钙化量可占海洋生物钙化量的80%,对于海洋碳、钙循环有重要意义~([1,2])。颗石藻在条件合适时,可形成大面积藻华(全球每年可达上百万平方公里)~([3])。促进藻华形成的环境因素很     

三种甲藻对阳光紫外辐射响应机制的种间差异

<正>从发现南极臭氧空洞以来,光生物学的研究领域便出现了一个新的研究方向,即研究阳光紫外辐射(Ultraviolet radiation,UVR)对藻类的影响[1]。众多研究表明,阳光UVR对藻类具有明显的负面效应,如UVR抑制光合固碳和生长,并导致DNA和蛋白的损伤[2—4]。但也有少数研究发现,在一定条件下,阳光UVR具有正面效应,如紫外线A(UV-A)有利于DNA损伤后的修复[2],并     

静止和充气培养条件下短期紫外辐射对钝顶螺旋藻光化学效率的影响

为了研究短期太阳紫外辐射对钝顶螺旋藻的影响,作者将静止和充气培养的藻体,暴露在全波长太阳辐射PAB(PAR UVA UVB),去除UVB辐射PA(PAR UVA)及切断所有紫外辐射的光合有效辐射P(PAR)三种光处理条件下,测定了其光化学效率的变化。结果表明,紫外辐射(UVP)及光合有效辐射(PAR)均能导致钝顶螺旋藻的光化学效率降低,表现出了明显的光抑制,但是,UVR可导致更大程度的光抑制。充气培养条件下,与早晨(07:00)初始值相比,PAR导致了11%~20%的光抑制,而UVR(PAB-P)所产生的额外光抑制占9%~31%;静止培养条件下,UVR的存在使得螺旋藻的光化学效率趋近于零(无法检出)。在两种培养条件下,藻细胞所受最大光抑制均发生在中午,下午(17:00)表现出不同程度的恢复。紫外辐射使得类胡萝卜素及藻蓝蛋白与叶绿素a含量的比例增大。与PAB和P相比,PA处理使得螺旋藻类胡萝卜素和藻蓝蛋白与叶绿素含量之比明显升高,UVA可能会诱导类胡萝卜素及藻蓝蛋白的合成。     

阳光紫外辐射和盐胁迫对钝顶螺旋藻光合作用和形态变化的耦合效应

将钝顶螺旋藻培养在含有不同NaCl浓度（0、0．4、0．8mol·L^-1）的培养基中,并置于室外全波段太阳辐射、阳光辐射滤除uvB以及光合有效辐射（PAR）三种辐射条件下,以探讨阳光uV辐射和盐胁迫对钝顶螺旋藻的耦合效应。结果表明,阳光uv辐射显著抑制钝顶螺旋藻的光化学效率,且随着盐浓度的提高,其受抑制程度加剧。D1蛋白含量在高水平PAR和uV辐射下都明显降低,而高盐浓度（0．8mol·L^-1NaCl）导致其含量进一步下降。此外,阳光uv辐射与盐胁迫的耦合作用使得藻丝发生明显断裂。     

不同光照条件下外源水杨酸对浒苔响应紫外辐射胁迫的影响

为研究不同光照条件下,外源水杨酸(SA)和紫外辐射(UV)对海洋绿藻浒苔的复合效应,在两个光照强度(高光:160 μmol·m^-2·s^-1;低光:70 μmol·m^-2·s^-1)条件下,设置对照(CK)、SA、UV及UV+SA处理(UV=3.2 W·m^-2、SA=10 μg·mL^-1),处理3 d后测定浒苔生长、叶绿素荧光参数、光合放氧速率、超氧化物歧化酶活性、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量等的变化,探讨光照强度、UV及SA的复合效应.结果表明: 低光无UV条件下,SA会促进浒苔生长,降低浒苔叶绿素a(Chl a)和可溶性蛋白含量;高光无UV条件下, SA会抑制其生长,但显著提高了Chl a含量、呼吸速率、光合放氧速率、可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量;高光和UV条件下, UV+SA显著促进浒苔生长,提高Chl a和可溶性糖含量;低光和UV条件下,与UV相比,UV+SA提高了浒苔最大光化学效率(F_v/F_m)和可溶性蛋白含量,涨幅分别为139.8%和32.2%.外源SA的加入在一定程度上缓解了UV对浒苔的胁迫作用,且在高光条件下的效果更为显著.     

铜绿微囊藻对紫外辐射的生理代谢响应

采用紫外(UV)滤膜过滤日光UV以及紫外灯添加UV的方法,研究了UV辐射对铜绿微囊藻Microcystis aeruginosa单细胞藻株PCC7806和群体藻XW01生长及生理代谢的影响。结果显示,在室内条件下低剂量UV辐射可促进群体微囊藻XW01生长;室外条件下与滤除了UV的光照相比,含有UV的完全日光更有利于微囊藻生长;而相同的UV辐射强度均导致单细胞株死亡,群体株显示了较强的UV抗性;日光中的UV可促进XW01合成抗氧化相关的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)、促进胞外多糖的产生并形成较大的群体、促进UV屏障物质类菌孢素氨基酸(MAAs)和伪枝藻素(Scy)积累。这些生理代谢的改变,消除了阳光辐射中UV对微囊藻的伤害。研究的结果提示,自然条件下阳光中的UV有助于群体微囊藻生长。     

紫外辐射和低盐胁迫对浒苔生长的影响

探究了不同紫外曝光量及低盐胁迫对浒苔生长的影响。结果显示,紫外辐射对浒苔生长有抑制作用,甚至使浒苔呈负增长,而且在盐度为24时抑制作用比盐度为12时大,藻体湿重下降明显。2.3×10⁴KJ·m^-2～4.7×10⁴KJ·m^-2的紫外曝光量使藻体变细、变软、变散,在显微镜下观察发现部分藻体受到损伤,死亡后内容物外溢;1.9×10⁴KJ·m^-2紫外曝光量对浒苔生长率影响较小。实验设置了0、6、12、24四个盐度梯度,培养42d,在盐度为0的情况下,前21 d浒苔藻体颜色没有明显变化,但藻体变软,变散,随后,藻体颜色慢慢变黄、变白直至死亡;其它各组生长均正常,显示出浒苔的盐度适应范围广,对低盐具有一定的耐受性,但不能长时间耐受0盐度。     

Gelling agents for tissue culture of the seaweed Hizikia fusiformis

Callus and blade formation of the seaweed Hizikia fusiformis depended on the gelling agents used under axenic culture conditions. Excised cylindrical pieces (5 mm) of the hold fast were cultured on seven different gelling agents in seawater with added Provasoli's enrichment (PESI), at 40 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ light intensity, 18 −C for 1 month. The highest percent of callus formation (47%), from holdfast pieces, was produced on solid medium composed of 2.0% high gel strength agar. No callus was formed in liquid medium. Blades, from holdfast pieces, were formed in PESI liquid medium at the rate of 45%, while the high level of axenic blade formation (30%) on solid support was observed on 0.5% high gel strength agar. Callus and blade were identified with the original strain, at the DNA level, using random amplified polymorphic DNAs. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The Identification of Fucosterol in the Marine Brown Algae Hizikia fusiformis

The enzyme uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase was purified about 330-fold from an extract of baker’s yeast by the treatment with protamine sulfate and column chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose, hydroxylapatite and Sephadex G–150. The purified enzyme was proved to be homogeneous by disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be approximately 37,000 by gel filtration. The enzyme had an optimum reactivity in the pH range of 7.5-8.5 and was stable at 4°C in potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.1 mm dithiothreitol, but was unstable when stored at ?20°C. The addition of dithiothreitol also increased the thermal stability of enzyme. The enzyme was specific for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine as substrate, and none of the other sugar nucleotides could serve as nucleotide substrate. The estimated values of Km were 6.1 × 10^?3 m for UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and 5.0 × 10^?3 m for inorganic pyrophosphate. The enzyme required some divalent cations for activity. Magnesium ion was the most effective among the cations tested. The enzyme activity was highly stimulated by the addition of dithiothreitol or dithioerythritol.     

Growth kinetics related to physiological parameters in young Saccorhiza dermatodea and Alaria esculenta sporophytes exposed to UV radiation

Young sporophytes of Saccorhiza dermatodea and Alaria esculenta cultured from Spitsbergen isolates were exposed in the laboratory to either only photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) or to a spectrum including UV-radiation (PAR+UVA+UVB) by use of cutoff glass filters. The plants were grown at 8±2°C and 16:8 h light–dark cycles with 6 h additional UV exposure in the middle of the light period. Growth was measured every 10 min using growth chambers with online video measuring technique for 18–21 days. Tissue morphology and absorption spectra were measured in untreated young sporophytes while tissue chlorophyll-a content and DNA damage were measured from treated thalli at the end of the experiment. Under UVR, growth rates of S. dermatodea were significantly reduced while A. esculenta have a potential to acclimate. Tissue chlorophyll-a contents in both species were not significantly different between treatments suggesting that these algae may acclimate to moderate UVR fluence. Higher DNA damage in S. dermatodea effectively diverted photosynthetic products for repair constraining growth. Tissue optics (opacity and translucence) was correlated to the tissue absorbance in the UVR region characteristics of phlorotannin, an important UV-absorbing compound in brown macroalgae. Growth rates of sporophytes of both species exposed to PAR without UV was similar during day and night. The results showed that both species can recruit and inhabit a similar coastal zone when appropriate strategies are expressed to minimize damage in response to the stress factor.     

Allelopathic interactions between the macroalga Hizikia fusiformis (Harvey) and the harmful blooms-forming dinoflagellate Karenia mikimotoi

The effects of algal blooms on seaweeds have been rarely studied, although harmful algal blooms (HABs) are now normally regarded as worldwide incidents. In the present study, the effects of dense Karenia mikimotoi cells on the growth and photosynthesis of Hizikia fusiformis, a common and commercially cultivated macroalga in coastal waters of the East China Sea (ECS), were studied to understand the possible consequences when the mariculture encountered a dense harmful algal bloom. Furthermore, the counteraction of the latter on the growth and photosynthetic activities of K. mikimotoi was determined to evaluate the contribution of H. fusiformis commercial cultivation to environmental improvements. The results showed that the chlorophyll a (Chl a) contents, maximal photochemical efficiency (F_v/F_m) and relative electron transfer rate (rETR) of gas vesicles (specialized leaves), adult and young receptacles of H. fusiformis were all significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited compared with the mono-cultured ones. When compared with mono-cultured H. fusiformis (without K. mikimotoi), the Chl a contents in gas vesicles, adult and young receptacles decreased by 20.6%, 17.6% and 33.2% within 2 weeks. Correspondingly, the F_v/F_m decreased by 7.9%, 37.4% and 43.7%; the apparent photosynthetic efficiency (α) decreased by 9.4%, 47.1% and 48.3%; and rETR decreased by 19.5%, 52.6% and 68.2%, respectively. The Chl a concentration of the mono-cultured K. mikimotoi (without H. fusiformis) increased to 2247.97 μg l⁻¹ from 958.11 μg l⁻¹ within 14 d. Those of the co-cultivated ones (with H. fusiformis), however, increased to 1591.31 μg l⁻¹ on the 8th day and then decreased rapidly to 254.99 (±37.73) μg l⁻¹ after the next 6 days. Furthermore, compared with the mono-cultured K. mikimotoi cells, the F_v/F_m, α and rETR_max of co-cultivated ones decreased by 9.4%, 36.3% and 30.6%, respectively. The results indicated that the mature sporophytes of H. fusiformis were resistant to dense K. mikimotoi blooms and this resistance was organ-dependent as: gas vesicle > adult receptacles > young receptacles. On the other hand, commercial mariculture of H. fusiformis demonstrated the potential of preventing the occurrence of algal blooms.     

Growth and photosynthesis in seedlings of Hizikia fusiformis (Harvey) Okamura (Sargassaceae, Phaeophyta) cultured at two different temperatures

This study examined temperature acclimation, growth, and photosynthetic characteristics of the zygote-derived seedlings of Hizikia fusiformis (Harvey) Okamura (Sargassaceae). The seedlings were cultured at 15°C or 25°C for 4 weeks. The average relative growth rate was significantly higher in seedlings acclimated at 25°C. The photosynthetic rate measured at 15°C was much higher in seedlings grown at 15°C than those grown at 25°C, indicating photosynthetic acclimation to a lower temperature. At 35°C, the photosynthetic rate of 15°C-grown seedlings was drastically decreased, whereas that of 25°C-grown seedlings was significantly increased. The maximum relative electron transport rate (rETR_max) measured at the respective growth temperature was significantly higher in seedlings grown at 25°C than at 15°C. At a measuring temperature of 35°C, the rETR_max in both 15°C- and 25°C-grown seedlings were considerably reduced with regard to those measured at 15°C or 25°C. Our results suggested that, compared with the seedlings grown at 25°C, those acclimated at a lower temperature could be disadvantaged under adverse conditions such as increased temperatures.

籼稻颖花分化与退化对不同播期温光的响应

试验以三系杂交籼稻‘五优308’和‘天优华占’以及常规籼稻‘黄华占’为材料,在大田条件下,设置10个播期,研究田间不同温光条件对籼稻生育期天数、颖花分化和退化数的影响.结果表明: 温度对3个籼稻品种生育期的影响比日照长度大,平均温度升高1 ℃,播种-穗分化始期天数平均减少1.5 d,而穗分化历期天数与光照和温度的关系均不密切.不同播期间每穗颖花数和颖花分化数存在显著差异.穗分化期间平均温度、最高温度和最低温度升高,有效积温增加,昼夜温差扩大,光辐射增强,有利于穗分化期干物质积累和颖花分化,各品种趋势一致.穗分化期间有效积温增加50 ℃,颖花分化数增加10.5朵,昼夜温差扩大1 ℃,颖花分化增加14.3朵,总光辐射量增加50 MJ·m^-2,颖花分化数增加17.1朵.颖花退化率与温度呈现二次项相关,极端高温或极端低温的自然条件不利于颖花形成,但低温天气对颖花退化的影响大于高温.温度低于临界温度,颖花退化率大幅增加,穗分化期临界积温为550～600 ℃,日平均温度为24.0～26.0 ℃,日最高温度为32.0～34.0 ℃,日最低温度为21.0～23.0 ℃.适宜高温、昼夜温差大、光照辐射强的自然条件利于颖花分化,并减少颖花退化.     

Growth and survival rates of large-type sporophytes of Ecklonia cava transplanted to a growth environment with small-type sporophytes

Stipe lengths of sporophytes of Ecklonia cava Kjellman have been reported to be longer along the southeast than southwest coast of the Izu Peninsula, central Japan. Two bays in this region that have natural populations of E. cava, but with different stipe lengths, were chosen for transplant experiments to examine if stipe length was an environmentally controlled trait. Transplant experiments were carried out in order to determine whether large-type sporophytes of E. cava with long stipes growing in Nabeta Bay (southeast Izu Peninsula, Japan) would turn into small-type sporophytes with short stipes when transplanted to Nakagi Bay (southwest Izu Peninsula). Ten juvenile sporophytes of E. cava (stipe length < 5 cm) were collected from Nabeta Bay (large-type habitat) and transplanted to Nakagi Bay (short-type habitat) in December 1995. As a transplant control, ten juvenile sporophytes of E. cava growing in Nakagi Bay were also transplanted to the same artificial reefs. Growth and survival rates of the sporophytes were monitored monthly for 3 y until December 1998. The transplanted sporophytes showed an increase in their stipe length and diameter from winter to spring, whereas almost no increase was observed from summer to autumn. However, the elongation was greater in Nabeta sporophytes than in Nakagi sporophytes. The primary blade length increased mainly from winter to early spring and decreased largely in autumn. Average primary blade lengths were similar in both Nabeta and Nakagi sporophytes from the end of the first year of transplanting. Although ca. 70% of both Nabeta and Nakagi sporophytes survived during the first 2 y after transplantation, no Nakagi sporophytes and only two Nabeta sporophytes survived to the end of the 3 y study period. Despite transplantation to Nakagi Bay, where short sitpes are naturally present, the sporophytes from Nabeta Bay persisted in having longer stipes, which suggests that stipe length is genetically, rather than environmentally, controlled.
