Young plants of Laminaria hyperborea collected from the field were grown for 2·5–4 weeks in blue, green, red and white (simulated underwater) light fields at 5, 20 and 100 μmol m-2s-1. The absolute concentrations of all pigments showed little variation with irradiance in green and white light, but decreased in high irradiances of red and blue light. The ratio of fucoxanthin to chlorophyll a also increased in the latter treatments, as did the chlorophyll c:a ratio in bright red light. There was little difference in the action spectrum for photosynthesis between the different light qualities at any one irradiance, but the action spectra for plants grown at 100 μmol m-2s-1 showed deeper troughs and higher peaks than those for plants grown at lower irradiances. Gross photosynthesis per unit of thallus area at 10 μmol m-2s-1 decreased in plants with low total pigment concentrations, but the photosynthesis per unit of pigment concentration increased. This suggestion of self-shading of pigment molecules within the algal thalli was supported by a flattening of the action spectrum in plants with higher chlorophyll a contents. The variations observed between the action spectra for different plants could thus be attributed to the decrease in pigment content at high irradiances, and not to the light quality in which the plants were grown.  相似文献

The aim of the work was to find the optimal photon irradiance for the growth of green cells of Haematococcus pluvialis and to study the interrelations between changes in photochemical parameters and pigment composition in cells exposed to photon irradiances between 50 and 600?µmol?m?2?s?1 and a light:dark cycle of 12:12?h. Productivity of cultures increased with irradiance. However, the rate of increase was higher in the range 50–200?µmol??2?s?1. The carotenoid content increased with increasing irradiance, while the chlorophyll content decreased. The maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm) gradually declined from 0.76 at the lowest irradiance of 50?µmol??2?s?1 to 0.66 at 600?µmol??2?s?1. Photosynthetic activity showed a drop at the end of the light period, but recovered fully during the following dark phase. A steep increase in non-photochemical quenching was observed when cultures were grown at irradiances above 200?µmol??2?s?1. A sharp increase in the content of secondary carotenoids also occurred above 200?µmol?m?2?s?1. According to our results, with H. pluvialis green cells grown in a 5-cm light path device, 200?µmol??2?s?1 was optimal for growth, and represented a threshold above which important changes in both photochemical parameters and pigment composition occurred.  相似文献

The cryptophyte Rhodomonas salina is widely used as feed for copepod cultures. However, culturing conditions to obtain high-quality algae have not yet been efficiently optimized. Therefore, we aimed to develop a cultivation protocol for R. salina to optimize its nutritional value and provide technical recommendations for later large-scale production in algal photobioreactors. We studied photosynthesis, growth, pigments, fatty acid (FA) and free amino acid (FAA) composition of R. salina cultured at different irradiances (10–300 μmol photons m?2 s?1) and nutrient availability (deficiency and excess). The optimal range of irradiance for photosynthesis and growth was 60–100 μmol photons m?2 s?1. The content of chlorophylls a and c decreased with increasing irradiance while phycoerythrin peaked at irradiances of 40–100 μmol photons m?2 s?1. The total FA content was maximal at optimal irradiances for growth, especially under nutrient deficiency. However, highly unsaturated fatty acids, desired components for copepods, were higher under nutrient excess. The total FAA content was highest at limiting irradiances (10–40 μmol photons m?2 s?1) but a better composition with a higher fraction of essential amino acids was obtained at saturated irradiances (60–140 μmol photons m?2 s?1). These results demonstrate that quality and quantity of FA and FAA of R. salina can be optimized by manipulating the irradiance and nutrient conditions. We suggest that R. salina should be cultivated in a range of irradiance 60–100 μmol photons m?2 s?1 and nutrient excess to obtain algae with high production and a balanced biochemical composition as feed for copepods.  相似文献

  • 1 The effect of light fluctuations on the growth rates of four species of freshwater phytoplankton was investigated. Experimental light regimes included constant irradiance and fluctuations of a step function form, with equal proportion of high (maximum of 240 µmol photons m‐2 s‐1) and low light (minimum of 5 µmol photons m‐2 s‐1) (or dark) in a period. Fluctuations of 1, 8 and 24‐h periods were imposed over several average irradiances (25, 50, 100 and 120 µmol photons m‐2 s‐1).
  • 2 Growth rate responses to fluctuations were species‐specific and depended on both the average irradiance and the period of fluctuations. Fluctuations at low average irradiances slightly increased growth rate of the diatom Nitzschia sp. and depressed growth of the cyanobacterium Phormidium luridum and the green alga Sphaerocystis schroeteri compared to a constant irradiance.
  • 3 Fluctuations at higher average irradiance did not have a significant effect on the growth rates of Nitzschia sp. and Sphaerocystis schroeteri (fluctuations around saturating irradiances) and slightly increased the growth rates of the cyanobacteria Anabaena flos‐aquae and Phormidium luridum (when irradiance fluctuated between limiting and inhibiting levels).
  • 4 In general, the effect of fluctuations tended to be greater when irradiance fluctuated between limiting and saturating or inhibiting levels of a species growth‐irradiance curve compared to fluctuations within a single region of the curve.
  • 5 The growth rates of species under fluctuating light could not always be predicted from their growth‐irradiance curves obtained under constant irradiance. When fluctuations occur between limiting and saturating or inhibiting irradiances for the alga and when the period of fluctuations is long (greater than 8 h), steady‐state growth‐irradiance curves may be insufficient to predict growth rates adequately. Consequently, additional data on physiological acclimation, such as changes in photosynthetic parameters, may be required for predictions under non‐constant light supply in comparison to constant conditions.

The effect of irradiance and temperature on the photosynthesis of the red alga, Pyropia tenera, was determined for maricultured gametophytes and sporophytes collected from a region that is known as one of the southern limits of its distribution in Japan. Macroscopic gametophytes were examined using both pulse‐amplitude modulated fluorometry and/or dissolved oxygen sensors. A model of the net photosynthesis–irradiance (P‐E) relationship of the gametophytes at 12°C revealed that the net photosynthetic rate quickly increased at irradiances below the estimated saturation irradiance of 46 μmol photons m?2 s?1, and the compensation irradiance was 9 μmol photons m?2 s?1. Gross photosynthesis and dark respiration for the gametophytes were also determined over a range of temperatures (8–34°C), revealing that the gross photosynthetic rates of 46.3 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1 was highest at 9.3 (95% Bayesian credible interval (BCI): 2.3–14.5)°C, and the dark respiration rate increased at a rate of 0.93 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1°C?1. The measured dark respiration rates ranged from ?0.06 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1 at 6°C to ?25.2 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1 at 34°C. The highest value of the maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) for the gametophytes occurred at 22.4 (BCI: 21.5–23.3) °C and was 0.48 (BCI: 0.475–0.486), although those of the sporophyte occurred at 12.9 (BCI: 7.4–15.1) °C and was 0.52 (BCI: 0.506–0.544). This species may be considered well‐adapted to the current range of seawater temperatures in this region. However, since the gametophytes have such a low temperature requirement, they are most likely close to their tolerable temperatures in the natural environment.  相似文献

Eco-physiological responses of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria to light   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The eco-physiological responses of three nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (N-fixing cyanobacteria), Aphanizomenon gracile, Anabaena minderi, and Ana. torques-reginae, to light were assessed under nutrient saturation. The N-fixing cyanobacteria were isolated into monocultures from a natural bloom in a shallow colored lake and their growth irradiance parameters and pigment composition were assessed. The different ecological traits related to light use (μmax, α, I k) suggest that these N-fixing cyanobacteria are well adapted to low light conditions at sufficient nutrients, yet interspecific differences were observed. Aphanizomenon gracile and Anabaena minderi had high relative growth rates at low irradiances (ca. 70% of those in high light), low half saturation constant for light-limited growth (I k < 9.09 μmol photon m−2 s−1) and high efficiency (α < 0.11 day−1 μmol photon−1 m2 s). Conversely, Ana. torques-reginae showed poorer light competitiveness: low relative growth rates at low irradiances (ca. 40% of those in high light), low α (0.009 day−1 μmol photon−1 m2 s) and higher I k (35.5 μmol photon m−2 s−1). Final densities in Aphanizomenon gracile and Anabaena minderi reached bloom densities at irradiances above 30 μmol photon m−2 s−1 with different hierarchy depending on irradiance, whereas Ana. torques-reginae never achieved bloom densities. All species had very low densities at irradiances ≤17 μmol photon m−2 s−1, thus no N-fixing blooms would be expected at these irradiances. Also, under prolonged darkness and at lowest irradiance (0 and 3 μmol photon m−2 s−1) akinetes were degraded, suggesting that in ecosystems with permanently dark sediments, the prevalence of N-fixing cyanobacteria should not be favored. All species displayed peaks of phycocyanin, but no phycoeritrin, probably due to the prevailing red light in the ecosystem from which they were isolated.  相似文献

Responses of photosynthetic rates, determined by oxygen evolution using the light and dark bottles technique, to different temperatures, irradiances, pH, and diurnal rhythm were analyzed under laboratory conditions in four charophyte species (Chara braunii Gmelin, C. guairensis R. Bicudo, Nitella subglomerata A. Braun and Nitella sp.) from lotic habitats in southeastern Brazil. Parameters derived from the photosynthesis versus irradiance curves indicated affinity to low irradiances for all algae tested. Some degree of photoinhibition, [β= ‐(0.30–0.13) mg O2 g?1 dry weight Ir1 (μmol photons m?2 s?1)?1], low light compensation points (Ic= 4–20 μmol photons m?2 s?1) were found for all species analyzed, as well as low values of light saturation parameter (Ik) and saturation (Is) 29–130 and 92–169 μmol photons m?2 s?1, respectively. Photoacclimation was observed in two populations of N. subglomerata collected from sites with different irradiances, consisting of variations in photosynthetic parameters (higher values of a, and lower of Ik and maximum photosynthetic rate, Pmax, in the population under lower irradiance). The highest photosynthetic rates for Chara species were observed at 10–15°C, while for Nitella the highest photosynthetic rate was observed at 20–25°C, despite the lack of significant differences among most levels tested. Rates of dark respiration significantly increase with temperature, with the highest values at 25°C. The results from pH experiments showed highest photosynthetic rates under pH 4.0 for all algae, suggesting higher affinity for inorganic carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, except in one population of N. subglomerata, with similar rates under the three levels, suggesting indistinct use of bicarbonate and carbon dioxide. Diurnal changes in photosynthetic rates revealed a general pattern for most algae tested, which was characterized by two peaks: the first (higher) during the morning (07.00–11.00) and the second (lower) in the afternoon (14.00–17.00). This suggests an endogenous rhythm determining the daily variations in photosynthetic rates.  相似文献

Hydrated thalli of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria were either preconditioned to dim irradiance (DI, 5 μmol m−2 s−1) or medium irradiance (MI, 200 μmol m−2 s−1) for 6 h. After this 6 h period, the thalli were allowed to desiccate under the two respective irradiances. Thereafter, these dry lichens were exposed to high irradiance (HI, 1 000 μmol m−2 s−1) for 60 h. After this HI treatment, the maximal photochemical quantum yield (FV/FM) and the de-epoxidation state of xanthophyll cycle pigments (DEPS) were highest in thalli preconditioned to MI. Hence irradiance in the last hydrated period before sampling is significant for the physiological state of lichens. A standardized irradiance pre-treatment before start of experiments is recommended.  相似文献

Excised ligulae of Glossophora kunthii (C. Ag.) J. Ag. were cultured in photoperiods of 4–24 h and photon fluence rates of 10–75 μmol.m?2.s?1. Daylength interacted with irradiance on the growth of the ligulae. Maximal growth of primary ligulae occurred in long-day regimens with high irradiances suggesting an effect of irradiance on photosynthesis and growth. In contrast, growth of secondary ligulae was greatest in short-day regimes. Differences were significant at the highest irradiance tested. Differentiation of tetrasporangia on the ligulae is a short-day photoperiodic response. Daylengths of 8.5 h or less induced a sharp increase in numbers of fertile ligulae and tetrasporangia attaining maturity. Interruptions of the dark period decreased the development of tetrasporangia; the number of interruptions had a cumulative inhibitory effect. Differentiation of reproductive structures was influenced by interactions of photoperiod and irradiance. Maximum numbers of tetrasporangia were formed at short-day regimes and low irradiances; differentiation was completely inhibited at long-day conditions and high irradiance.  相似文献

Summary Caustis blakei is an attractive cut foliage plant harvested from the wild in Australia and marketed under the name of koala fern. Previous attempts to propagate large numbers of this plant have been unsuccessful. The effect of four light irradiances on organogenesis from compact and friable callus of C. blakei was studied for 21 wk. Both callus types produced numerous primordial shoots but many failed to develop into green plantlets. However, significantly more primordial shoots and green plantlets developed on the friable callus than on the compact callus, and significantly more green plantlets were regenerated under the higher photon irradiances of 200 and 300 μmol m−2s−1 than under the lower irradiances of 100 and 150 μmol m−2s−1. The compact callus produced its maximum number of green plantlets early in the experiment (after 9 wk), while the friable callus continued to produce primordial shoots and green plantelets throughout the period of the experiment, and reached its maximum production of green plantlets at 21 wk under the irradiance of 300 μmol m−2s−1. Organogenesis from friable callus under high irradiance (300 μmol m−2s−1) offers an efficient propagation method for C. blakei.  相似文献

In culture, Gambierdiscus spp. have been shown to prefer irradiances that are relatively low (≤250 μmol photons m−2 s−1) versus those to which they are frequently exposed to in their natural environment (>500 μmol photons m−2 s−1). Although several behavioral strategies for coping with such irradiances have been suggested, it is unclear as to how these dinoflagellates do so on a physiological level. More specifically, how do long term exposures (30 days) affect cell size and cellular chlorophyll content, and what is the photosynthetic response to short term, high irradiance exposures (up to 1464 μmol photons m−2 s−1)? The results of this study reveal that cell size and chlorophyll content exhibited by G. carolinianus increased with acclimation to increasing photon flux density. Additionally, both G. carolinianus and G. silvae exhibited reduced photosynthetic efficiency when acclimated to increased photon flux density. Photosynthetic yield exhibited by G. silvae was greater than that for G. carolinianus across all acclimation irradiances. Although such differences were evident, both G. carolinianus and G. silvae appear to have adequate biochemical mechanisms to withstand exposure to irradiances exceeding 250 μmol photons m−2 s−1 for at least short periods of time following acclimation to irradiances of up to 150 μmol photons m−2 s−1.  相似文献

The population of Undaria pinnatifida in its ecologic niche sustains itself in high temperature summer in the form of vegetative gametophytes, the haploid stage in its heteromorphic life cycle. Gametogenesis initiates when seawater temperature drops below the threshold levels in autumn in the northern hemisphere. Given that the temperature may fall into the appropriate range for gametogenesis, the level of irradiance determines the final destiny of a gametophytic cell, either undergoing vegetative cell division or initiating gametogenesis. In elucidating how vegetatively propagated gametophytes cope with changes of irradiance in gametogenesis, we carried out a series of culture experiments and found that a direct exposure to irradiance as high as 270 μmol photons m?2 s?1 was lethal to dim‐light (7–10 μmol photons m?2 s?1) adapted male and female gametophytes. This lethal effect was linearly corelated with the exposure time. However, dim‐light adapted vegetative gametophytes were shown to be able tolerate as high as 420 μmol photons m?2 s?1 if the irradiance was steadily increased from dim light levels (7–10 μmol photons m?2 s?1) to 90, 180 and finally 420 μmol photons m?2 s?1, respectively, at a minimum of 1–3 h intervals. Percentage of female gametophytic cells that turned into oogonia and were eventually fertilized was significantly higher if cultured at higher but not lethal irradiances. Findings of this investigation help to understand the dynamic changes of population size of sporophytic plants under different light climates at different site‐specific ecologic niches. It may help to establish specific technical details of manipulation of light during mass production of seedlings by use of vegetatively propagated gametophytes.  相似文献

This study investigated the influence of light on the distributional limits of Bostrychia scorpioides and Catenella caespitosa within a low amplitude intertidal zonation in the Palmones estuary, Spain. Changes in photosynthesis- and growth-irradiance curves and pigment content were examined ex situ at irradiances found in their natural habitat (10–230 µmol photons m?2 s?1). The highest maximum photosynthesis rate (Pm) and photosynthetic efficiency (α) were found between 20–40 µmol photons m?2 s?1 in both species. Bostrychia scorpioides, the uppermost intertidal species, had a higher Pm, α, dark respiration rate and light compensation point (Ec) than C. caespitosa at all acclimation irradiances. Net photosynthetic rates measured at their respective acclimation irradiances showed photosynthetic responses of B. scorpioides to be maximized at high irradiances, while in C. caespitosa they did not change. Higher growth rates were obtained in C. caespitosa than in B. scorpioides, which may be related to its lower thallus specific carbon content. When irradiance decreased, the chlorophyll a content of B. scorpioides increased whereas in C. caespitosa R-phycoerythrin increased. Ec for growth of B. scorpioides coincided with the irradiance at its lower distributional limit in the estuary, below which this species showed losses in biomass. However, in C. caespitosa the sustained growth ex situ at saturating irradiances contrasts with its absence from the upper intertidal zone, where similar light regimes occur. We demonstrated that while light clearly restricts the growth of B. scorpioides to the uppermost intertidal zone, this environmental factor would not prevent C. caespitosa from growing at higher levels.  相似文献

The ability of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Akcent) to adjust the composition and function of the photosynthetic apparatus to growth irradiances of 25–1200 μmol m−2 s−1 was studied by gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements and high-performance liquid chromatography. The increased growth irradiance stimulated light- and CO2-saturated rates of CO2 assimilation expressed on a leaf area basis up to 730 μmol m−2 s−1 (HL730), whereas at an irradiance of 1200 μmol m−2 s−1 (EHL1200) both rates decreased significantly. Further, the acclimation to EHL1200 was associated with an extremely high chlorophyll a/b ratio (3.97), a more than doubled xanthophyll cycle pool (VAZ) and a six-fold higher de-epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle pigments as compared to barley grown under 25 μmol m−2 s−1 (LL25). EHL1200 plants also exhibited a long-term inhibition of Photosystem II (PS II) photochemical efficiency (F v/F m). Photosynthetic capacity, chlorophyll a/b and VAZ revealed a linear trend of dependence on PS II excitation pressure in a certain range of growth irradiances (100–730 μmol m−2 s−1). The deviation from linearity of these relationships for EHL1200 barley is discussed. In addition, the role of increased VAZ and/or accumulation of zeaxanthin and antheraxanthin in acclimation of barley to high irradiance is studied with respect to regulation of non-radiative dissipation and/or photochemical efficiency within PS II. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Effects of irradiance and water flow on formation and growth of filamentous and spongy thalli of Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot growing on vinylon threads were investigated at the laboratory culture. They showed clear differences in their irradiance and water flow requirements for their formation and growth. Spongy thalli were formed from the cultured filamentous thalli only at the high water flow velocity (10 cm s−1). Number of the spongy thalli remarkably increased with increasing irradiance because those at 10, 50 and 100 μmol m−2 s−1 reached 0, 2 and 76 thalli m−1, respectively, by 10 weeks of culture. In contrast, filamentous thalli were formed from the cultured spongy thalli at 0 and 3 cm s−1, and difference in irradiance had no effect on their formation. Growth of the spongy thalli greatly accelerated under the combination of the high irradiance and high water velocity (200 μmol m−2 s−1 and 10 cm s−1) because their relative growth rate in wet weight under the condition was two–four times higher than those at the other examined irradiances and water velocities. On the other hand, difference in water velocity had no effect on growth of the filamentous thalli under flowing water, and their growth decelerated at the high irradiance (200 μmol m−2 s−1). This demonstrates that water flow is a major factor controlling the formation of the spongy and filamentous thalli. The formation and growth of the spongy thalli surely occur under the combination of the high irradiance and fast flowing water. In contrast, the formation of the filamentous thalli occurs in the calm water, and their growth is inhibited under the high irradiance.  相似文献

Gas vesicle formation and buoyancy regulation in Pelodictyon phaeoclathratiforme strain BU1 (Green sulfur bacteria) was investigated under various laboratory conditions. Cells formed gas vesicles exclusively at light intensities below 5 mol · m-2 · s-1 in the stationary phase. No effect of incubation temperature or nutrient limitation was observed. Gas space of gas vesicles occupied always less than 1.2% of the total cell volume. A maximum cell turgor pressure of 330 kPa was determined which is comparable to values determined for cyanobacterial species. Since a pressure of at least 485 kPa was required to collapse the weakest gas vesicles in Pelodictyon phaeoclathratiforme, short-term regulation of cell density by the turgor pressure mechanism can be excluded.Instead, regulation of the cell density is accomplished by the cease of gas vacuole production and accumulation of carbohydrate at high light intensity. The carbohydrate content of exponentially growing cells increased with light intensity, reaching a maximum of 35% of dry cell mass above 10 mol · m-2 · s-1. Density of the cells increased concomitantly. At maximum density, protein and carbohydrate together accounted for 62% of the total cell ballast. Cells harvested in the stationary phase had a significantly lower carbohydrate content (8–12% of the dry cell mass) and cell density (1010–1014 kg · m-3 with gas vesicles collapsed) which in this case was independent of light intensity. Due to the presence of gas vesicles in these cultures, the density of cells reached a minimum value of 998.5 kg · m-3 at 0.5 mol · m-2 · s-1.The cell volume during the stationary phase was three times higher than during exponential growth, leading to considerable changes in the buoyancy of Pelodictyon phaeoclathratiforme. Microscopic observations indicate that extracellular slime layers may contribute to these variations of cell volume.  相似文献

Effects of short-term exposure to different irradiances on the function of photosystem 2 (PS2) were studied for barley grown at low (LI; 50 μmol m−2 s−1) and high (HI; 1 100 μmol m−2 s−1) irradiances. HI barley revealed higher ability to down-regulate the light-harvesting within PS2 after exposure to high irradiance as compared to LI plants. This ability was estimated from the light-induced decreases of F685/F742 and E476/E436 in emission and excitation spectra of 77 K chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence in vivo which was 65 and 10 % for HI plants as compared to 30 and 2 % for LI plants, respectively. For LI plants this protective down-regulation of the light-harvesting of PS2 was saturated at 430 μmol m−2 s−1, and progressive PS2 photodamage was induced at higher irradiances. After exposure of LI segments to 2 200 μmol m−2 s−1 a pronounced maximum at 700 nm appeared in emission spectrum of 77 K Chl a fluorescence. Based on complementary analysis of 77 K excitation spectra measured at the emission wavelength 685 nm we suggest that this emission maximum may be attributed to the formation of aggregates of light-harvesting complexes of PS2 (LHC2) with part of PS2 core during progressive PS2 photodamage. Our results can be explained assuming different contributions of LHC2 and PS2 core to the total nonradiative dissipation of absorbed excitation energy for the LI and HI barley.

Carbon assimilation (14C) and dissolved organic carbon (DO14C) release by a tropical strain of Cryptomonas obovata was studied. Cells were exposed to a range of irradiances (0-2000 mol m-2 s-1) using axenic batch cultures in the laboratory (Ek = 180 mol m-2s-1). At up to 2000 mol m-2s-1, carbon assimilation was not inhibited and an acclimation to low irradiances was observed. DO14C release was dependent on carbon fixation and no increase was detected under high irradiances. To determine particulate organic carbon (PO14C) loss and CO14C release cells acclimated to 350 mol m-2 s-1 were incubated during 4 h at 35, 350, 850 and 1900 mol m-2 s-1. DO14C release was responsible for 30% of the PO14C loss at 1900 mol m-2s-1. High- and low-molecular-weight (HMW, LMW) compounds were released by C.obovata under all irradiance conditions. However, increased release with exposure time was observed only for the HMW compounds.   相似文献

Photosynthetic activity and temperature regulation of microalgal cultures (Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus) under different irradiances controlled by a solar tracker and different cell densities were studied in outdoor flat panel photobioreactors. An automated process control unit regulated light and temperature as well as pH value and nutrient concentration in the culture medium. CO2 was supplied using flue gas from an attached combined block heat and power station. Photosynthetic activity was determined by pulse amplitude modulation fluorometry. Compared to the horizontal irradiance of 55 mol photons m?2 d?1 on a clear day, the solar tracked photobioreactors enabled a decrease and increase in the overall light absorption from 19 mol photons m?2 d?1 (by rotation out of direct irradiance) to 79 mol photons m?2 d?1 (following the position of the sun). At biomass concentrations below 1.1 g cell dry weight (CDW) L?1, photoinhibition of about 35 % occurred at irradiances of ≥1,000 μmol photons m?2 s?1 photosynthetic active radiation (PAR). Using solar tracked photobioreactors, photoinhibition can be reduced and at optimum biomass concentration (≥2.3 g CDW L?1), the culture was irradiated up to 2,000 μmol photons m?2 s?1 to overcome light limitation with biomass yields of 0.7 g CDW mol photons?1 and high photosynthetic activities indicated by an effective quantum yield of 0.68 and a maximum quantum yield of 0.80 (F v/F m). Overheating due to high irradiance was avoided by turning the PBR out of the sun or using a cooling system, which maintained the temperature close to the species-specific temperature optima.  相似文献

The objective of this work was to determine the influence of total dissolved solids/salinity (TDS mgL-1) on growth and biomass specific rates of nodularin (hepatotoxin) production by Nodularia spumigena 001E isolated from Lake Alexandrina, South Australia. Maximum biomass yield (dry matter, chlorophyll a and particulate organic carbon/POC) at 80 μmol photon m-2 s-1 was recorded at 3300 mg TDS L-1 and decreased at salinities above or below this value (p < 0.05). The maximum biomass yield (dry matter and chlorophyll a) at 30 μmol m-2 s-1 occurred at a higher salinity of 9900 mg TDS L-1. Cultures grown at 80 μmol m-2 s-1, at a TDS> 6600 mg L-1, had significantly (p < 0.05) lower nodularin content (ml-1 medium) than cultures grown at the same salinities at 30 μmolm-2 s-1. The maximum total toxin concentration (mL-1 medium) occurred at 9900 and 3300 mg TDS L-1 at 30 μmol m-2 s-1and 80 μmol m-2 s-1 respectively. Toxin per unit biomass, expressed as dry matter, chlorophyll a and POC was similar for cultures grown at 30 μmol m-2 s-1 or 80 μmol m-2s-1 at salinities < 6600 mg TDS L-1. At salinities > 9900 mg TDS L-1 the toxin content per unit biomass decreased at both irradiances, however, cultures grown at 30 μmol m-2s-1 had a higher toxin content than those grown at 80 μmol m-2 s-1. The results indicate that not only do changes in irradiance and salinity directly influence growth and toxin production but that changes in irradiance affected the influence of salinity.
