The effects of adding cellobiose on the transformation of vanillic acid to vanillin by two strains of Pycnoporus cinnabarinus MUCL39532 and MUCL38467 were studied. When maltose was used as the carbon source in the culture medium, very high levels
of methoxyhydroquinone were formed from vanillic acid. When cellobiose was used as the carbon source and/or added to the culture
medium of P. cinnabarinus strains on day 3 just before vanillic acid was added, it channelled the vanillic acid metabolism via the reductive route
leading to vanillin. Adding 3.5 g l−1 cellobiose to 3-day-old maltose cultures of P. cinnabarinus MUCL39532 and 2.5 g l−1 cellobiose to 3-day-old cellobiose cultures of P. cinnabarinus MUCL38467, yielded 510 mg l−1 and 560 mg l−1 vanillin with a molar yield of 50.2 % and 51.7 % respectively. Cellobiose may either have acted as an easily metabolizable
carbon source, required for the reductive pathway to occur, or as an inducer of cellobiose:quinone oxidoreductase, which is
known to inhibit vanillic acid decarboxylation.

Low-temperature bioremediation of a waste water contaminated with anionic surfactants and fuel oil 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We conducted a laboratory study at 10 °C on the biological decontamination of the waste water from a garage and car-wash
that was contaminated with anionic surfactants (57 mg l−1) and fuel oil (184 mg hydrocarbons l−1). The indigenous microorganisms degraded both contaminants efficiently after biostimu- lation by an inorganic nutrient supply.
After 7 days at 10 °C, the residual contaminations were 11 mg anionic surfactants l−1 and 26 mg hydrocarbons l−1. After 35 days, only the anionic surfactants had been further reduced to 3 mg l−1. Bioaugmentation of the unfertilized waste water with a cold-adapted inoculum, able to degrade both hydrocarbons (diesel
oil) and anionic surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulphate), resulted in a significant increase of the hydrocarbon biodegradation
during the first 3 days of decontamination, whereas biodegradation of anionic surfactants was inhibited during the first 21 days
following inoculation. Bioaugmentation of the nutrient-amended waste water was without any effect.

The use of silica gel prepared by sol-gel method and polyurethane foam as microbial carriers in the continuous degradation of phenol 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
A mixed microbial culture was immobilized by entrapment into silica gel (SG) and entrapment/ adsorption on polyurethane foam
(PU) and ceramic foam. The phenol degradation performance of the SG biocatalyst was studied in a packed-bed reactor (PBR),
packed-bed reactor with ceramic foam (PBRC) and fluidized-bed reactor (FBR). In continuous experiments the maximum degradation
rate of phenol (q
s
max) decreased in the order: PBRC (598 mg l−1 h−1) > PBR (PU, 471 mg l−1 h−1) > PBR (SG, 394 mg l−1 h−1) > FBR (PU, 161 mg l−1 h−1) > FBR (SG, 91 mg l−1 h−1). The long-term use of the SG biocatalyst in continuous phenol degradation resulted in the formation of a 100–200 μm thick
layer with a high cell density on the surface of the gel particles. The abrasion of the surface layer in the FBR contributed
to the poor degradation performance of this reactor configuration. Coating the ceramic foam with a layer of cells immobilized
in colloidal SiO2 enhanced the phenol degradation efficiency during the first 3 days of the PBRC operation, in comparison with untreated ceramic
packing.

Biotransformation of citronellol by the basidiomycete Cystoderma carcharias in an aerated-membrane bioreactor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The basidiomycete Cystoderma carcharias transformed citronellol into 3,7-dimethyl-1,6,7-octanetriol as the main product. 3,7-Dimethyl-6,7-epoxy-1-octanol was identified
as important intermediary product of the biotransformation, and the allylic diols 2,6-dimethyl-2-octene-1,8-diol, 3,7-dimethyl-5-octene-1,7-diol
and 3,7-dimethyl-7-octene-1,6-diol were found to be minor products. Microbial formation of rose oxide, a flavour-impact component,
was observed for the first time. The formation of the main products was inhibited by 70% after addition of 0.1 mmol l−1 cytochrome monooxygenase inhibitors. Formation of 3,7-dimethyl-1,6,7-octanetriol was effective in a bioreactor with aeration
over a coil of a hydrophobic microporous polypropene capillary membrane. Production rates of up to 150 mg l−1 day−1 were reached and led to a product concentration of 866 mg l−1 (conversion rate: 52%). The total loss of the added volatile substrate via the exhaust air was 4.5% when this aeration method
was used.

The influence of ammonia on the anaerobic degradation of peptone by mesophilic and thermophilic populations of biowaste was
investigated. For peptone concentrations from 5 g l−1 to 20 g l−1 the mesophilic population revealed a higher rate of deamination than the thermophilic population, e.g. 552 mg l−1 day−1 compared to 320 mg l−1 day−1 at 10 g l−1 peptone. The final degree of deamination of the thermophilic population was, however, higher: 102 compared to 87 mg NH3/g peptone in the mesophilic cultures. If 0.5–6.5 g l−1 ammonia was added to the mesophilic biowaste cultures, deamination of peptone, degradation of its chemical oxygen demand
(COD) and formation of biogas were increasingly inhibited, but no hydrogen was formed. The thermophilic biowaste cultures
were most active if around 1 g ammonia l−1 was present. Deamination, COD degradation and biogas production decreased at lower and higher ammonia concentrations and
hydrogen was formed in addition to methane. Studies of the inhibition by ammonia of peptone deamination, COD degradation and
methane formation revealed a K
i (50%) for NH3 of 92, 95 and 88 mg l−1 at 37 °C and 251, 274 and 297 mg l−1 at 55 °C respectively. This indicated that the thermophilic flora tolerated significantly more NH3 than the mesophilic flora. In the mesophilic reactor effluent 4.6 × 108 peptone-degrading colony-forming units (cfu)/ml were culturable, whereas in the thermophilic reactor effluent growth of only
5.6 × 107 cfu/ml was observed.

The use of amiloride to uncouple branchial sodium and proton fluxes in the brown trout, Salmo trutta
I. D. Nelson W. T. W. Potts H. Huddart 《Journal of comparative physiology. B, Biochemical, systemic, and environmental physiology》1997,167(2):123-128
Resting proton, ammonium and sodium fluxes in Salmo trutta were 492.6 ± 19.5 (n = 29); 122.9 ± 34.2 (n = 28) and 277.1 ± 18.5 (n = 50) μmol · kg−1 · h−1, respectively. The resting transepithelial potential was found to be composed of three successive potentials, the outermost
averaging −7.36 ± 0.19mV, the second, −14.3 ± 1.4 mV and the third −37 ± 1.7 mV. Amiloride inhibits the proton, ammonium and
sodium fluxes in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of 0.5 mmol · 1−1 and 0.1 mmol · l−1, but at 0.01 mmol · l−1, proton and ammonium fluxes remained at control levels whilst the sodium was reduced to 70.59 ± 7.29 μmol · kg−1 · h−1. The trans-epithelial potential was effected in a bi-phasic manner by 0.5 mmol · l−1 amiloride. An initial hyperpolarisation of ca. 6 mV was followed by a sustained depolarisation of ca. 14 mV (towards zero)
which persisted until the amiloride was washed off the gill. The initial hyperpolarisation was thought to reflect a rapid
inhibition of a positive inward sodium current and the subsequent depolarisation was due to the inhibition of a positive outward
current (proton) which would abolish the transepithelial potential. However, at 0.01 mmol · l−1 only the hyperpolarisation was seen, due to the inhibition of only the inward sodium current. Acetazolamide (0.1 mmol · l−1) was found to have no significant effect on the proton, ammonium and sodium fluxes. These results indicate that the proton
and sodium fluxes across the gill of the freshwater trout are not tightly linked. While this suggests that the trout gill
resembles the model of Ehrenburg et al. (1985) of sodium uptake in frog skin, the apical potentials measured in the pavement
epithelial cell(s) are too low to account for sodium uptake unless the activity of the sodium in the cells is very low.

The skin of intact, free-swimming Xenopus laevis transports Ca2+ inwardly in a manner that is proportional to the external [Ca2+] up to about 0.3 mmol · l−1, saturates above 0.3 mmol · l−1, and is opposed to the electrochemical gradient. Efflux is relatively constant at external concentrations between 0.016 and
0.6 mmol · l−1; net flux which is negative below 0.125 mmol · l−1 becomes positive above this external [Ca2+]. Allometric analysis suggests that both Ca2+ influx and efflux scale to the 2/3 power approximately like surface area. There were no significant differences in influx
between summer and fall animals; however, efflux was greater in the fall and this resulted in a change from positive balance
in the summer to negative balance in the fall. Isolated skins were shown to support a Ca2+ uptake rate of nearly 30 nmol · cm−2 · h−1. The phenylalkylamine verapamil in the apical bathing solution significantly inhibited this at 25 μmol · l−1. The benzothiazepine diltiazem was also effective at 50 μmol · l−1 while the dihydropyradine nifedipine was ineffective up to 100 μmol · l−1. The inorganic ion La3+ was effective at blocking Ca2+ uptake at 300 μmol · l−1; Ni2+ was also effective at 500 μmol · l−1 but Co2+ was ineffective up to 500 μmol · l−1. These results suggest that apical calcium channels in Xenopuslaevis skin have properties similar to mammalian L-channels and fish gill Ca2+ channels.

Optimization of culture medium for the continuous cultivation of the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Fábregas J Domínguez A Regueiro M Maseda A Otero A 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》2000,53(5):530-535
The freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is one of the best microbial sources of the carotenoid astaxanthin, but this microalga shows low growth rates and low final
cell densities when cultured with traditional media. A single-variable optimization strategy was applied to 18 components
of the culture media in order to maximize the productivity of vegetative cells of H. pluvialis in semicontinuous culture. The steady-state cell density obtained with the optimized culture medium at a daily volume exchange
of 20% was 3.77 · 105 cells ml−1, three times higher than the cell density obtained with Bold basal medium and with the initial formulation. The formulation
of the optimal Haematococcus medium (OHM) is (in g l−1) KNO3 0.41, Na2HPO4 0.03, MgSO4 · 7H2O 0.246, CaCl2 · 2H2O 0.11, (in mg l−1) Fe(III)citrate · H2O 2.62, CoCl2 · 6H2O 0.011, CuSO4 · 5H2O 0.012, Cr2O3 0.075, MnCl2 · 4H2O 0.98, Na2MoO4 · 2H2O 0.12, SeO2 0.005 and (in μg l−1]) biotin 25, thiamine 17.5 and B12 15. Vanadium, iodine, boron and zinc were demonstrated to be non-essential for the growth of H. pluvialis. Higher steady-state cell densities were obtained by a three-fold increase of all nutrient concentrations but a high nitrate
concentration remained in the culture medium under such conditions. The high cell productivities obtained with the new optimized
medium can serve as a basis for the development of a two-stage technology for the production of astaxanthin from H. pluvialis.

Bioremediation of two diesel-oil-contaminated alpine subsoils, differing in soil type and bedrock, was investigated in laboratory
experiments at 10 °C after supplementation with an inorganic fertilizer. Initial diesel oil contamination of 4000 mg kg−1 soil dry matter (dm) was reduced to 380–400 mg kg−1 dm after 155 days of incubation. In both soils, about 30 % of the diesel oil contamination (1200 mg kg−1 dm) was eliminated by abiotic processes. The residual decontamination (60 %–65 %) could be attributed to microbial degradation
activities. In both soils, the addition of a cold-adapted diesel-oil-degrading inoculum enhanced biodegradation rates only
slightly and temporarily. From C/N and N/P ratios (determined by measuring the contents of total hydrocarbons, NH4
+ N, NO3
− N and PO4
3− P) of soils␣it could be deduced that there was no nutrient deficiency during the whole incubation period. Soil biological
activities (basal respiration and dehydrogenase activity) corresponded to the course of biodegradation activities in the soils.

Drinking in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) juveniles was investigated in fresh water and following transfer to sea water. There was a significant effect of fish size
on drinking, and smolts (20–30 g) imbibed about ten times less water than alevins of 0.2–0.3 g. Freshwater smolts drank at
a rate of 0.15 ± 0.03 ml · kg−1 · h−1 and administration of doses of 10 or 20 mg · kg−1 of papaverine (stimulator of the renin- angiotensin system RAS) or [Asn1, Val5]-Angiotensin II (0.4 μmol · kg−1) resulted in significant increases in drinking, while administration of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril
(50 mg · kg−1) had no effect on drinking. Transfer of Atlantic salmon smolts to 1/3, 2/3 and full strength sea water resulted in significant
increases in drinking to 1.06 ± 0.12, 1.24 ± 0.0.16 and 3.89 ± 0.28 ml · kg−1 · h−1, respectively. In sea water, stimulation of the endogenous RAS by administration of papaverine (20 mg · kg−1) resulted in a 20% increase in drinking, while administration of enalapril to doses of 50 and 200 mg · kg−1 lowered drinking to 1.99 ± 0.48 and 0.32 ± 0.06 ml · kg−1 · h−1, respectively. All treatments were without effect on blood plasma levels of Na+ and Cl− in fresh water, while in sea water smolts both stimulation and inhibition of drinking resulted in hemoconcentration of Na+ and Cl−. The role of the renin angiotensin system in control of drinking and hydromineral balance in Atlantic salmon is discussed.

Biological treatment of drinking water is a cost-effective alternative to conventional physico/chemical processes. A new
concept was tested to overcome the main disadvantage of biological denitrification, the intensive post-treatment process to
remove microorganisms and remnant carbon source. The biological reaction zone and carbon supply were separated from the raw
water stream by a nitrate-permeable membrane. Denitrification takes place in a biofilm, which is immobilized at the membrane.
In a series of bench-scale runs, different types of membranes and reactor configurations were investigated. The best denitrification
rates achieved were 1230 mg NO3
−-N m−2 day−1. In one run, raw water containing 100 mg NO3
− l−1 was completely freed from nitrate. The membrane and the attached biofilm also represent a barrier against the passage of
the C source and nutrients into the raw water. At concentrations of 20 mg l−1 ethanol and 15 mg l−1 phosphate in the bioreactor no diffusion through the membrane into the treated water was observed. Without any post-treatment,
the effluent met nearly all the relevant criteria for drinking water; only the colony count was slightly increased.

A novel method for the determination of microbial growth kinetics on hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOC) has been
developed. A stirred tank reactor was operated as a fed-batch system to which the VOC was continuously fed via the gas phase,
assuring a constant VOC concentration in the mineral medium. A flow of air was saturated with the VOC, and then mixed with
a further flow of air, to obtain a predetermined VOC concentration. Thus, different VOC concentrations in the mineral medium
could be obtained by altering the VOC concentration in the feed gas. The growth kinetics of Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 on 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) and of Pseudomonas sp. strain JS150 on MonoChloroBenzene (MCB) were assessed using this method. The growth of strain JS150 was strongly inhibited
at MCB concentrations higher than 160 mg l−1, and the results were fitted using a piecewise function. The growth kinetics of strain GJ10 were described by the Luong model
where maximum growth rate μmax = 0.12 h−1, substrate saturation constant K
S = 7.8 mg l−1, and maximum substrate concentration S
m (above which growth is completely inhibited) = 1080 mg l−1. Varying nitrogen and oxygen flows enabled the effect of oxygen concentration on the growth kinetics of Pseudomonas JS150 to be determined.

Nitrate reduction by Citrobacter diversus under aerobic environment 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
A new aerobic denitrifier, Citrobacter diversus, was isolated from both nitrification and denitrification sludge. To monitor the variation in the concentration of nitrogen
oxides, aerobic denitrification by C. diversus was carried out in a batch reactor. When the nitrate concentration was greater than 180 mg N l−1, the nitrate reduction rate became stable. The effect of the C/N ratio on the denitrification activity was also investigated.
The results showed that the optimum denitrification activity was obtained when the C/N ratio was 4–5. The range of the C/N
ratio was higher than that for traditional anoxic denitrification. The effect of the dissolved oxygen concentration was further
studied; and it was found that the range of dissolved oxygen concentrations, both for specific growth rates and for specific
denitrification rates, was 2–6 mg−1. From these results, it can be concluded that both the concentration of dissolved oxygen and the C/N ratio are key factors
in the aerobic denitrification by C. diversus.

4-Chlorophenol degradation by a bacterial consortium: development of a granular activated carbon biofilm reactor 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Caldeira M Heald SC Carvalho MF Vasconcelos I Bull AT Castro PM 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》1999,52(5):722-729
A bacterial consortium that can degrade chloro- and nitrophenols has been isolated from the rhizosphere of Phragmitis communis. Degradation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) by a consortium attached to granular activated carbon (GAC) in a biofilm reactor was
evaluated during both open and closed modes of operation. During the operation of the biofilm reactor, 4-CP was not detected
in the column effluent, being either adsorbed to the GAC or biodegraded by the consortium. When 4-CP at 100 mg l−1 was fed to the column in open mode operation (20 mg g−1 GAC total supply), up to 27% was immediately available for biodegradation, the rest being adsorbed to the GAC. Biodegradation
continued after the system was returned to closed mode operation, indicating that GAC bound 4-CP became available to the consortium.
Biofilm batch cultures supplied with 10–216 mg 4-CP g−1 GAC suggested that a residual fraction of GAC-bound 4-CP was biologically unavailable. The consortium was able to metabolise
4-CP after perturbations by the addition of chromium (Cr VI) at 1–5 mg l−1 and nitrate at concentrations up to 400 mg l−1. The development of the biofilm structure was analysed by scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy
(CLSM) techniques. CLSM revealed a heterogeneous structure with a network of channels throughout the biofilm, partially occupied
by microbial exopolymer structures.

Hydrogen production with high yield and high evolution rate by self-flocculated cells of Enterobacter aerogenes in a packed-bed reactor 总被引:6,自引:1,他引:5

Continuous hydrogen gas evolution by self-flocculated cells of Enterobacter aerogenes, a natural isolate HU-101 and its mutant AY-2, was performed in a packed-bed reactor under glucose-limiting conditions in
a minimal medium. The flocs that formed during the continuous culture were retained even when the dilution rate was increased
to 0.9 h−1. The H2 production rate increased linearly with increases in the dilution rate up to 0.67 h−1, giving maximum H2 production rates of 31 and 58 mmol l−1 h−1 in HU-101 and AY-2 respectively, at a dilution rate of more than 0.67 h−1. The molar H2 yield from glucose in AY-2 was maintained at about 1.1 at dilution rates between 0.08 h−1 and 0.67 h−1, but it decreased rapidly at dilution rates more than 0.8 h−1.

Two species of Antarctic fish were stressed by moving them from seawater at −1 °C to seawater at 10 °C and holding them for
a period of 10 min. The active cryopelagic species Pagothenia borchgrevinki maintained heart rate while in the benthic species Trematomus bernacchii there was an increase in heart rate. Blood pressure did not change in either species. Both species released catecholamines
into the circulation as a consequence of the stress. P. borchgrevinki released the greater amounts, having mean plasma concentrations of 177 ± 54 nmol · l−1 noradrenaline and 263 ± 131 nmol · l−1 adrenaline at 10 min. Plasma noradrenaline concentrations rose to 47 ± 14 nmol · l−1 and adrenaline to 73 ± 28 nmol · l−1 in T. bernacchii. Blood from P. borchgrevinki was tonometered in the presence of isoprenaline. A fall in extracellular pH suggests the presence of a Na+/H+ antiporter on the red cell membrane, the first demonstration of this in an Antarctic fish. Treatment with the β-adrenergic
antagonist drug sotalol inhibited swelling of red blood cells taken from temperature-stressed P. borchgrevinki, suggesting that the antiporter responds to endogenous catecholamines.

Characteristics of dipeptide transport in pig jejunum in vitro 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Characteristics of dipeptide transport in pig jejunum were investigated in vitro by applying the Ussing-chamber technique
and mucosal uptake studies. Addition of both glycyl-l-glutamine and glycyl-l-sarcosine (20 mmol · l−1) to the mucosal buffer solution significantly increased the short-circuit current by 2.60 ± 0.15 and 1.57 ± 0.20 μeq · cm−2 · h−1, respectively. Concentration-dependent changes in short-circuit current followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with similar affinity
constants for both dipeptides. From unidirectional flux rates for radiolabelled glycyl-l-sarcosine, a net flux rate for glycyl-l-sarcosine of 49.8 ± 6.7 nmol · cm−2 · h−1 was calculated. In mucosal uptake experiments, the apical influx of 14C-labelled glycyl-l-sarcosine into isolated porcine mucosa was pH dependent and significantly inhibited by glycyl-l-glutamine. Moreover, RT-PCR studies with primers derived from rabbit PepT1 identified two PCR fragments of identical size
to rabbit PepT1 from pig intestinal mRNA preparations. In conclusion, our studies revealed key features of mammalian intestinal
peptide transporters and give evidence for a PepT1-like transporter in the pig jejunum that could significantly contribute
to the overall amino acid absorption from the gut.

Isometric force development of electrically paced preparations isolated from the systemic heart of Octopus vulgaris were utilized to examine the regulation of contractility by Ca2+. Increases in extracellular Ca2+, to the physiological level, resulted in enhancement of twitch force. For instance, at 36 beats · min−1 an increase in Ca2+ from 3 to 9 mmol · l−1 resulted in a threefold increase in twitch force development. When steady-state contraction at 12 beats · min−1 was followed by a rest period of either 5 or 10 min, the first contraction always exhibited either an increase in twitch
force or stayed unchanged such that post-rest twitch force was about 133% of the last value in the steady-state train. Ryanodine
(12.5 μmol · l−1), which is considered to be a specific inhibitor of the Ca2+ storage and release capabilities of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), was applied to further assess Ca2+ handling. Twitch force fell to about 22% of the preteatment level in preparations paced at either 12 or 36 beats · min−1. In all preparations the frequency transition from 12 to 36 beats · min−1 was associated with an increase in resting tension. The␣increase␣was 37 ± 14% prior to ryanodine treatment and was significantly
elevated to 127 ± 33% following treatment. When steady-state contraction at 36 beats · min−1 was followed by a rest period of 10 s, the first contraction was not significantly different from the last beat in the train
prior to ryanodine; however, with ryanodine treatment, post-rest twitch force development significantly decreased. Twitch
force development was regular at pacing rates of up to 300 beats · min−1. Twitch force was maintained up to rates of 84 beats · min−1 but␣decreased thereafter and reached a value of about 10% at 300 beats · min−1. Resting tension increased substantially as frequency was elevated from 12 to 36 beats · min−1 and then gradually increased as frequency was further elevated to 180 beats · min−1. In conclusion, the Octopus ventricle is dependent upon extracellular Ca2+ for contraction. A post-rest potentiation of force development, the negative impact of ryanodine, and the ability to respond
regularly at high pacing rates imply a strong reliance on the SR in Ca2+ cycling based on criteria established for vertebrate hearts.

Eight fit men [maximum oxygen consumption (O2max) 64.6 (1.9) ml · kg−1 · min−1, aged 28.3 (1.7) years (SE in parentheses) were studied during two treadmill exercise trials to determine the effect of endogenous
opioids on insulin and glucagon immunoreactivity during intense exercise (80% O2max). A double-blind experimental design was used with subjects undertaking the two exercise trials in counterbalanced order.
Exercise trials were 20 min in duration and were conducted 7 days apart. One exercise trial was undertaken following administration
of naloxone (N; 1.2 mg; 3 ml) and the other after receiving a placebo (P; 0.9% NaCl saline; 3 ml). Prior to each experimental
trial a flexible catheter was placed into an antecubital vein and baseline blood samples were collected. Immediately after,
each subject received either a N or P bolus injection. Blood samples were also collected after 20 min of continuous exercise
(running). Glucagon was higher (P < 0.05), while insulin was lower (P < 0.05), during exercise compared with pre-exercise values in both trials. However, glucagon was higher (P < 0.05) in the P than in the N exercise trial [141.4 (8.3) ng · l−1 vs 127.2 (7.6) ng · l−1]. There were no differences in insulin during exercise between the P and N trials [50.2 (4.3) pmol · l−1 vs 43.8 (5) pmol · l−1]. These data suggest that endogenous opioids may augment the glucagon response during intense exercise.

Hypoxia caused by eutrophication occurs over large areas in aquatic systems worldwide. Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) exposed to hypoxia (1 mg · O2 · l−1 and 2 mg · O2 · l−1) for 1 week showed a significant reduction in feeding rate, respiration rate, faecal production and nitrogenous excretion
compared to those maintained at normoxia (7 mg · O2 · l−1). Fish exposed to hypoxia showed negative scope for growth (SfG), but no significant difference in the specific growth rate
was revealed after 1 week in both hypoxic groups. A significant reduction in RNA/DNA ratio was, however, clearly evident in
the white muscle of the 1 mg · O2 · l−1 treatment group, but not in the 2 mg · O2 · l−1 treatment group. Both specific growth rate and RNA/DNA ratio were significantly reduced when fish were exposed to severe
hypoxia (0.5 mg · O2 · l−1) for 4 weeks. At all levels of hypoxia, growth reduction was accompanied by a significant decrease in RNA/DNA ratio in white
muscle. Covariance analysis showed no significant difference between the slope of RNA/DNA ratio and growth rate under normoxic
conditions and 0.5 mg · O2 · l−1 for 4 weeks (F=1.036, P > 0.326), as well as 1.0 mg · O2 · l−1 and 2.0 mg · O2 · l−1 for 1 week (F = 0.457, P > 0.5), indicating that the RNA/DNA ratio serves as a biomarker of growth under all oxygen levels, at least under controlled
experimental conditions. SfG also appears to be more sensitive than the RNA/DNA ratio in responding to hypoxia in fish.
