Crustose coralline algae occupied ~1%–2% (occasionally up to 7%) of the sea floor within their depth range of 15–50 m, and they were the dominant encrusting organisms and macroalgae beyond 20 m depth in Young Sound, NE Greenland. In the laboratory, oxygen microelectrodes were used to measure net photosynthesis (P) versus downwelling irradiance (Ed) and season for the two dominant corallines [Phymatolithon foecundum (Kjellman) Düwel et Wegeberg 1996 and Phymatolithon tenue (Rosenvinge) Düwel et Wegeberg 1996] representing> 90% of coralline cover. Differences in P‐Ed curves between the two species, the ice‐covered and open‐water seasons, or between specimens from 17 and 36 m depth were insignificant. The corallines were low light adapted, with compensation irradiances (Ec) averaging 0.7–1.8 μmol photons·m ? 2·s ? 1 and light adaptation (Ek) indices averaging 7–17 μmol photons·m ? 2·s ? 1. Slight photoinhibition was evident in most plants at irradiances up to 160 μmol photons·m ? 2·s ? 1. Photosynthetic capacity (Pm) was low, averaging 43–67 mmol O2·m ? 2 thallus·d ? 1 (~250–400 g C·m ? 2 thallus·yr ? 1). Dark respiration rates averaged ~5 mmol O2·m ? 2 thallus·d ? 1. In ice covered periods, Ed at 20 m depth averaged ~1 μmol photons·m ? 2·s ? 1, with daily maxima of 2–3 μmol photons·m ? 2·s ? 1. During the open water season, Ed at 20 m depth averaged ~7 μmol photons·m ? 2·s ? 1 with daily maxima of ~30 μmol photons·m ? 2·s ? 1. Significant net primary production of corallines was apparently limited to the 2–3 months with open water, and the small contribution of corallines to primary production seems due to low Pm values, low in situ irradiance, and their relatively low abundance in Young Sound. 相似文献

The effects of irradiance on the biochemical composition of the prymnesiophyte microalga, Isochrysis sp. (Parke; clone T-ISO), a popular species for mariculture, were examined. Cultures were grown under a 12:12 h light: dark (L:D) regime at five irradiances ranging from 50 to 1000 μE·m 2·s?1 and harvested at late-logarithmic phase for analysis of biochemical composition. Gross composition varied aver the range of irradiances. The highest levels of protein were present in cells from cultures grown at 100 and 250 μE·m 3·s1, and minimum levels of carbohydrate and lipid occurred at 50 μE·m?2·s?1. Because the cell dry weight was reduced at lower irradiances, different trends were evident when results were expressed as percentage of dry weights. Protein percentages were highest at Wand 100 μE·m?2·s?1 and carbohydrate at 100 μE·m?2·s?1. The composition of amino acids did not differ over the range of irradiances. Glutamate and aspartate were always present in high proportions (9.0–13.5%); histidine. methionine, tryptophan, cystine, and hydroxy-proline were minor constituents (0.0–2.6%). Glucose was the predominant sugar in all cultures, ranging from 23.0% (50 μE·m?2·s?1) to 45.0% (100 μE·m?2·s?1) of total polysaccharide. No correlation was found between the proportion of any of the sugars and irradiance. The proportions of the lipid class components and fatty acids showed little change with irradiance. The main fatty acids were 14:0, 16:0, 16:1(n-7), 18:1(n-9), 18:3(n-3). 18:4(n-3), 18:5(n-3), and 22:6(n-3). Proportions of 22: 6(n-3) increased, whereas l8:3(n-3). 18:3(n-6). and 18:4(n-3) decreased, with increasing irradiance. Pigment concentrations were highest in cultures grown at 50 μE·m?2·s?1, except for fucoxanthin and diadinoxanthin (100 μE·m?2·s?1). The concentrations of accessory pigments correlated with chlorophyll a, which decreased in concentration with increasing irradiance. On the basts of biochemical composition, an irradiance of 100 μE·m?1·s?1 (12:12 h L:D cycle)for the culture of Isochrysis sp. (clone T-ISO) may provide optimal nutritional value for maricultured animals, although feeding trials are now necessary to substantiate this. 相似文献

We have prepared large (5–10 μm) plasma membrane fragments by lysis of VA-2, human, cells adherent to Sephadex beads. The membrane fragments may be removed from beads by sonication and stained with fluorescent antibodies to human histocompatibility antigens, HLA antigens. Lateral diffusion of labelled antigens is followed by the method of fluorescence photobleaching recovery (FPR). HLA antigens of isolated membranes diffuse at the same rate, approx. (2–4) · 10?10 cm2 · s?1 as they do in intact cells. This rate may be modified by incubating membranes in a variety of media. Buffers of slightly acid pH (6.5 or less) enhance lateral diffusion, while the presence of divalent ions slightly reduces diffusion rates. Our major finding is that incubation of 37° in 0.10 M phosphate buffer increases lateral diffusion 3–5-fold. 相似文献

Ambient sea-water nitrate and tissue nitrogen (ethanol soluble nitrate and amino acids, as well as total nitrogen) of Macrocystis integrifolia Bory were monitored over a 2-yr period in Bamfield, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Sea-water nitrate varied from a high of 12 μmol · 1?1 (individual values as high as 23 μmol · 1?1 were recorded) in late winter to below detection limits for most of the summer. Tissue nitrate and total nitrogen paralleled the ambient nitrate levels and showed summer minima and winter maxima (from 0 to 70 μmol · g fresh wt?1 for nitrate and from 0.8 to 2.9% of dry wt for total N). The nitrate uptake capacity was inversely proportional to tissue nitrate concentration and, furthermore, was much higher for subapical surface blades (60–70 nmol · cm?2 · h?1) than for older, deeper blades (5–10 nmol · cm?2 · h?1). Nitrate uptake by subapical blade disks in summer is apparently higher in dark (1.0–1.7 μmol · g fresh wt?1 · h?1) than in light (0.6–1.3 μmol · g fresh wt?1 · h?1) and the data obtained in 36–108 h experiments indicate nitrate pool sizes of 30–90 μmol · g fresh wt?1. These pools are to nearly full in winter. Ammonium does not inhibit nitrate uptake. It is taken up and apparently utilized much faster than nitrate and it may well be an important source of nitrogen for marine macrophytes. 相似文献

Diverse migratory histories of Japanese Trachidermus and Cottus species (Cottidae) as inferred from otolith microchemistry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The migratory histories of Japanese freshwater sculpins, one Trachidermus and four Cottus species, were studied by examining strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) concentrations in their otoliths using wavelength dispersive X‐ray spectrometry on an electron microprobe. The Sr : Ca ratios in the otoliths changed with salinity of the habitat. The otoliths of Cottus nozawae showed consistently low Sr : Ca ratios, with an average of 3·37 × 10?3 from the core to the edge, suggesting a freshwater resident life cycle. In contrast, the otolith Sr : Ca ratios for Trachidermus fasciatus and Cottus kazika changed along the life history transects possibly in accordance with their migration patterns from sea to fresh water. The ratios of T. fasciatus and C. kazika averaged 5·4 × 10?3 and 5·3 × 10?3 respectively, in the otolith region from the core to the points 450–890 μm, and changed to the lower levels, averaging 2·0 × 10?3 and 2·7 × 10?3, in the outer otolith region. These data suggest that both the species have a catadromous life cycle. The otoliths of Cottus hangiongensis had low Sr : Ca ratios in the two regions from the core to the points 15–30 μm and the points 415–582 μm to the edge, averaging 2·0 × 10?3 and 1·9 × 10?3, with significantly higher ratios in the narrow area between these regions, averaging 4·6 × 10?3. Similar ontogenetic changes in otolith Sr : Ca ratios were found in the otoliths of Cottus amblystomopsis, suggesting their amphidromous life cycle. These findings suggest that otolith Sr : Ca ratios reflect individual life histories and that Japanese Trachidermus and Cottus species have diverse migratory histories. 相似文献

Fine structure and motility of spermatozoa and composition of the seminal plasma in the perch 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The fine structure and motility of spermatozoa and the composition of the seminal plasma of the perch Perca fluviatilis are investigated by electron microscopy, computer assisted cell motility analysis (CMA) and biochemical methods. The spermatozoon is asymmetrical as the flagellum inserts mediolateral on the nucleus. It lacks an acrosome, has an ovoid head and a small midpiece with one mitochondrion. Sperm motility–initiated in distilled water (10° C)–is characterized as follows: 85·0 ± 2·7% of the spermatozoa are motile, the main swimming type (10 ± 1 s after motility initiation) is the linear motion (61·4 ± 24·4%) and the average swimming velocity is 122·4 ± 21·9 μm s–1. When motility is initiated with NaCl, glucose or sucrose solutions of 100 mosmol kg–1 the percentage of motile spermatozoa and the swimming types are similar as in water, but the swimming velocity (174·0 ± 22·3 μm s–1) is significantly higher. Motility is inhibited by high osmolality of the diluent: when increasing the osmolality of the saline solutions to 350 mosmol kg–1 sperm motility is totally suppressed while potassium (10–40 mmol 1–1) does not affect motility parameters. pH optimum for sperm motility is between pH 7·0 and 8·5. The seminal fluid contains 124·01 ± 21·68 mmol 1–1 sodium, 10·22 ± 1·11 mmol 1–1 potassium and 0·72 ± 0·26 mmol 1–1 calcium. pH is 8·25 ± 0·09, and osmolality 283·90 ± 37·19 mosmol kg–1. The following organic components were determined: monosaccharides (glucose 63 ± 19 μmol 1–1, fructose 54 ± 28 μmol 1–1, galactose 59 ± 25 μmol 1–1), lipids (cholesterol 5·51 ± 6·42 μmol 1–1, triglycerides 72 ± l00 μmol l–1, cholesteryloleate 15–150 μmol 1–1, phosphatidylcholine 26 · 31 μmol 1–1, glycolipids 1–10 mg 100 m1–1), lactate 108 ± 99 μmol 1–1, hydroxybutyrate 102 ± 99 nmol 1–1, choline 59 ± 159 μmol 1–1, protein 344·75 ± 59·06 mg 100m1–1, enzymes (β-d -glucuronidase l.4 ± 0.7 μmol h–1 100 ml–1, protease (caseolytic activity) 1·0 ± 0·6 μmol h–1 100 ml–1, alkaline phosphatase 2520·0 ± 861·0 μmol h–1 100 ml–1, acid phosphatase 44.0 ± 16.0 μmol h–1 100 ml–1, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase 38·9 ± 86·9 μmol h–1 100 ml–1, lactate dehydrogenase 134·4 ± 69·6 μmol h–1 100 ml–1, butyrylcholine esterase 0·014 ± 0·010 μmol h–1 100 ml–1, adenosine triphosphatase 562·8 ± 665·4 μmol h –1 100 ml–1). 相似文献

Mitochondria ranging in size from 5–8 μm were produced by feeding Cuprizone to mice weaned at 17 days. A small piece of liver was disrupted and a single large mitochondrion isolated with a suction capillary and a micromanipulator and placed in a microchamber attached to a sensitive oxygen electrode. The mitochondrion showed a respiratory rate of 1.4 × 10?10 μatoms 0/min and a respiratory ratio with and without ADP of 3.7 with succinate. The respiratory ratio is the same as that obtained with normal mitochondria measured in the same apparatus. The respiratory rate of a 7 μm mitochondrion is estimated to be 1.3 × 10?4 μatoms 0/min/cm2 of inner membrane surface area which is very similar to the rate of 0.7 × 10?4 μatoms 0/min/cm2 estimated for a normal mitochondrion. 相似文献

The electrophoretic mobility of L5178Y cells in 0.0145 M NaCl, 4.5% sorbitol, 0.6 mM NaHCO3, pH 7.2, at 25°C was — 1.78 μ·s?1·V?1·cm?1 while that of an L-asparaginase resistant subline, L5178Y/ASN, was — 1.11 μm·s?1·V?1·cm?1. Both cell lines were characterized by terminal sialic acid residues on their surfaces. Treatment of L5178Y cells for 90 min with 10 units of L-asparaginase per ml in saline decreased the electrophoretic mobility of the cells to — 1.65 μm·s?1·V?1·cm?1 while treatment in Fischer's medium decreased the mobility to — 1.25 μm·s?1·V?1·cm?1; neither treatment had a significant effect on the L5178Y/ASN electrophoretic mobility. The results suggest that L-asparaginase has an immediate and specific effect on synthesis of cell surface asparaginyl glycoproteins. 相似文献

Optimum light, temperature, and pH conditions for growth, photosynthetic, and respiratory activities of Peridinium cinctum fa. westii (Lemm.) Lef were investigated by using axenic clones in batch cultures. The results are discussed and compared with data from Lake Kinneret (Israel) where it produces heavy blooms in spring. Highest biomass development and growth rates occurred at ca. 23° C and ≥50 μE· m?2·s1 of fluorescent light with energy peaks at 440–575 and 665 nm. Photosynthetic oxygen release was more efficient in filtered light of blue (BG 12) and red (RG 2) than in green (VG 9) qualities. Photosynthetic oxygen production occurred at temperatures ranging from 5° to 32° C in white fluorescent light from 10 to 105 μE·m?2·s?1 with a gross maximum value of 1500 × 10?12 g·cell?1·h?1 at the highest irradiance. The average respiration amounted to ca. 12% of the gross production and reached a maximum value of ca. 270·10?12 g·cell?1·h?1 at 31° C. A comparison of photosynthetic and respiratory Q10-values showed that in the upper temperature range the increase in gross production was only a third of the corresponding increase in respiration, although the gross production was at maximum. Short intermittent periods of dark (>7 min) before high light exposures from a halogen lamp greatly increased oxygen production. Depending on the physiological status of the alga, light saturation values were reached at 500–1000 μE·m?2·s?1 of halogen light with compensation points at 20–40 μE·m?2·s?1 and Ik-values at 100–200 μE·m?2·s?1. The corresponding values in fluorescent light in which it was cultured and adapted, were 25 to 75% lower indicating the ability of the alga to efficiently utilize varying light conditions, if the adaptation time is sufficient. Carbon fixation was most efficient at ca. pH 7, but the growth rates and biomass development were highest at pH 8.3. 相似文献

A survey of the spatial distribution of benthic macroalgae in a fluvial lake of the St. Lawrence River (Lake Saint‐Pierre, Quebec, Canada) revealed a shift in composition from chlorophytes to cyanobacteria along the flow path of nutrient‐rich waters originating from tributaries draining farmlands. The link between this shift and changes in water quality characteristics was investigated by sampling at 10 sites along a 15 km transect. Conductivity, current, light extinction, total phosphorus (TP; >25 μg P · L?1), and ammonium (8–21 μg N · L?1) remained fairly constant along the transect in contrast to nitrate concentrations, which fell sharply. Filamentous and colonial chlorophytes [Cladophora sp. and Hydrodictyon reticulatum (L.) Bory] dominated in the first 5 km where nitrate concentrations were >240 μg N · L?1. A mixed assemblage of chlorophytes and cyanobacteria characterized a 1 km transition zone where nitrate decreased to 40–80 μg N · L?1. In the last section of the transect, nitrate concentrations dropped below 10 μg N · L?1, and cyanobacteria (benthic filamentous mats of Lyngbya wollei Farl. ex Gomont and epiphytic colonies of Gloeotrichia) dominated the benthic community. The predominance of nitrogen‐fixing, potentially toxic cyanobacteria likely resulted from excessive nutrient loads and may affect nutrient and trophic dynamics in the river. 相似文献

Limnological studies on some lakes in the Netherlands 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
R. D. GULATI 《Freshwater Biology》1972,2(1):37-54
Most Dutch lakes are small and shallow, resulting from peat dredging since the late 18th century. However, deep lakes have appeared recently owing to sand digging. Limnological features of one such lake, Wijde Biik (N. Holland), were studied during 1968–70. The lake with an average depth of 11 4 m (maximum depth 31 m) and area of 2·65 × 106m2 is one of the deepest and biggest in the Loosdrecht-lakes area. The lake is 125 cm below sea level, and underground water-movements play an important part in the lake's hydrology. The lake exhibits thermal stratification on warm and calm days; since the lake surroundings are open and flat, wind and nocturnal cooling destroy such a stratification. There is continuous circulation from autumn through spring. The O2 saturation (%) in the upper water varies from 70 to 120%. Bottom waters were never anaerobic (lowest values 10% O2 saturation). CI? (2·8m-equiv.) and HCO?3 (1·9 m-equiv.) were the dominant anions just as Ca++ (2·77 m-equiv.) and Na+ (2·5 m-equiv.) formed the main cations. Chlorides have increased 2·5-fold in the 40 years as a geochemical consequence of deepening. The surface drainage has minor influence on lake's water chemistry. Part-P (10–140 μg/I) and PO4-P (2–40 μg/1) recorded maximum and minimum respectively, and NO3-N (0·05–1·15 mg/1) its minimum, during Microcystis abundance in August 1968. The SiO2-Si decreased from February 1969 (400 μg/l) to June 1969 as Diatotna elongatum increased. The Si-decrease to <30% of the 1932 values is due to removal of Si-rich clay and silt, due to sand digging. Chlorococcales were the important lake algae. Desmids were poor. Microcystis dominated as a rule from July-September, achieving from 15 to 31 colonies/ml. Poor light transmission rather than nutrients limits plankton growth as also the primary production in the lake. Copepoda were the dominant zooplankton. Bosmina coregoni recorded between 2 and 44 individuaIs/1 in summer 1968 and was the main cladoceran. The average primary production during summers of 1969 and 1970 was 380 and 497 mg C m?2 day?1 respectively. Light limited production below 1 m—1 % light in 1969 and 10% in 1970 penetrated down to 4 m. About 70% of the production took place in the upper 2 m. Calculation of production according to theoretical models under-estimated the observed values by 12% because Z0·5Ik lay much above (0·8–2·8 m) the expected value of 3·5 m. It is suggested that in turbid lakes like Wijde Blik in situ incubations should be done at 0·5 m intervals in the upper 2 or 3 m. 相似文献

Uptake of 14C-labelled sucrose and glucose by isolated seed coat halves of pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Marzia) seeds was measured in the concentration range <0.1 μM to 100 mM. The initial influx of sucrose was strictly proportional to the external concentration, with a coefficient of proportionality (k) of 6.2 μmol·(g FW)?1·min?1·M?1. Sucrose influx was not affected by 10 μM carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), but it was inhibited by 40% in the presence of 2.5 mM p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid (PCMBS). Influx with diffusional kinetics was also observed for glucose (k = 4.8 μmol·(g FW)?1·min ?1·M ?1) and mannitol (k = 5.1 μmol·(g FW)?1·min?1·M?1). For glucose an additional saturable system was found (Km = 0.26 mM, V max = 4.2 nmol·(g FW)?1·min?1), which appeared to be completely inhibited by CCCP and partly by PCMBS. In contrast to the diffusional pathway, uptake by this saturable system was slightly pH-dependent, with an optimum at pH 5.5. The influx of sucrose appears to be by the same pathway as the efflux of endogenous sucrose, which was inhibited by 36% in the presence of 2.5 mM PCMBS (De Jong A, Wolswinkel P, 1995, Physiol Plant 94: 78–86). It is argued that passive transport may be the only mechanism for sucrose transport through the plasma membrane of seed coat parenchyma cells. The estimated permeability coefficient of the plasma membrane for sucrose (P = 3.5·10?7 cm·s?1) is more than 1 × 106-fold higher than that reported for artificial lipid membranes. This relatively high permeability is hypothesized to result from pore-forming proteins that allow the diffusion of sucrose. Furthermore, it is shown that a sucrose gradient across the plasma membrane of the seed coat parenchyma of only 22 mM will suffice to result in the net efflux of sucrose which is required to feed the embryo. 相似文献

Using microcosm experiments, we investigated the interactive effects of temperature and light on specific growth rates of three species each of the phytoplanktonic genera Cryptomonas and Dinobryon. Several species of these genera play important roles in the food web of lakes and seem to be sensitive to high water temperature. We measured growth rates at three to four photon flux densities ranging from 10 to 240 μmol photon · m?2 · s?1 and at 4–5 temperatures ranging from 10°C to 28°C. The temperature × light interaction was generally strong, species specific, and also genus specific. Five of the six species studied tolerated 25°C when light availability was high; however, low light reduced tolerance of high temperatures. Growth rates of all six species were unaffected by temperature in the 10°C–15°C range at light levels ≤50 μmol photon · m?2 · s?1. At high light, growth rates of Cryptomonas spp. increased with temperature until the temperature optimum was reached and then declined. The Dinobryon species were less sensitive than Cryptomonas spp. to photon flux densities of 40 μmol photon · m?2 · s?1 and 200 μmol photon · m?2 · s?1 over the entire temperature range but did not grow under a combination of very low light (10 μmol photon · m?2 · s?1) and high temperature (≥20°C). Among the three Cryptomonas species, cell volume declined with temperature and the maximum temperature tolerated was negatively related to cell size. Since Cryptomonas is important food for microzooplankton, these trends may affect the pelagic carbon flow if lake warming continues. 相似文献

Germlings were grown from Monostroma latissimum Wittr. reproductive cells on nylon ropes. Holdfast threads and some uniseriate filaments were observed to have penetrated the fibers of the dispersed ropes. The algal filaments were easily isolated and prepared for cultivation, in comparison to the methods of enzymatically isolated algal protoplasts. Under low light (60–100 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1), the algal filaments grew to form a filamentous mass. When cultivated under stronger light (300–600 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1), they grew to initially form tubular thalli and then, when cultivated under light intensities >700 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1, formed foliaceous thalli. Consequently, the filaments were homogenized into small sections and then sewed on the nylon rope for algal mass cultivation. Under high‐intensity natural light, they grew to form leafy thalli. 相似文献

Cellular nutrient concentrations and nutrient uptake rates of Cladophora glomerata (L.) Kuetzing were determined during summer and fall in 1989–1990 at a site on the upper Clark Fork of the Columbia River, Montana. Both physiological tests indicated that Cladophora growth is likely to be limited by nitrogen during late summer-early fall. Maximum uptake rates of ammonia-N and nitrate-N were 5935–6991 and 507–984 μg · g DW?1· h?1, respectively, during July–October when dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentrations in the river were less than 10 μg · L?1. During November-December, when DIN was 72–376 μg · L?1, maximum ammonia-N uptake was 1137–1633 μg · g DW?1· h?1 and maximum nitrate-N uptake was 0–196 μg · g DW?1· h?1. Cellular nitrogen during summer–early fall was 0.78–1.80% of Cladophora dry weight, frequently at or below 1.1%, a level suggested as a critical minimum N concentration for maximum growth. In contrast, cellular P was 0.18–0.36% of dry weight, 3–6 times the suggested critical P concentration of 0.06%. Molar ratios of cellular N:P (< 16:1) and DIN: SRP (< 4:1) during late summer-early fall also indicated potential N limitation. Cellular N and P from Cladophora collected from a second site influenced by a municipal wastewater discharge in 1990 displayed similar seasonal trends. At both sites, seasonal fluctuations in DIN were closely tracked by changes in cellular N, Cellular P, however, increased through the growing season despite declining levels of SRP in the river. 相似文献

The surface morphology of the dinoflagellate Coolia monotis Meunier was compared with the surface morphology of Ostreopsis, The apical pore of C. monotis is similar in architecture to that of Ostreopsis but considerably longer (12 μm) than in O. heptagona (8–9 μm) and O. ovata (6–7 μm). A ventral pore in C. monotis is located on the right ventral margin between apical plate l′ and precingular plate 6″ and is similar in appearance and location to the ventral pore of O. ovata. The longitudinal flagellum (20 μm) in C. monotis is longer than in O. ovata (12 μ). Although Coolia and Ostreopsis appear to be distinctly different and should remain as two separate genera, they appear to be related. Cells of C. monotis divided by binary fission. Doubling time was 3–4 days in the logarithmic phase of growth at 23°C, 12:12 h L:D, 30–90 μE-m?2·s?1, and a salinity of 36%. Cultures reached cell densities of 2.5 × 103 cells·L?1 after 15 days of growth. The sexual process in C. monotis occurred in Erdschreiber's medium when Danish soil extract was substituted with mangrove sediment extract under the culture conditions described above. Gamete fusion produced large biflagellated planozygotes (70–75 μm diam). Planozygote maturation involved cytoplasmic reorganization, loss of motility, development of a spherical shape (80–90 μm diam), and two to three orange accumulation bodies. The cells at this stage appeared to be thin-walled cysts. Further development included reorganization of cyst contents, emergence of non-motile gametes, and development of chloroplasts, sulcus, and girdle. The nucleus of the newly formed cells occupied 50% or more of the total cell volume. Meiosis occurred in the cyst, but nuclear cyclosis was not observed. Four daughter cells were produced within 36–48 h, and motile gametes developed. The gametes exhibited sexuality for 2 months and completed the sexual life cycle by going through a thin-walled cyst stage. 相似文献

Simulated raindrops, diameter c. 3 or 4 mm, fell 13 m down a raintower onto suspensions of Septoria nodorum pycnidiospores, depth 0.5 mm, or infected straw pieces. Splash droplets were collected on pieces of fixed photographic film. It was estimated that one drop generated c. 300 spore carrying splash droplets, containing c. 6000 spores, from a concentrated spore suspension (6.5 × 105 spores/ml) and c. 25 spore-carrying droplets, containing c. 30 spores, from infected straw pieces (11 × 106 spores/g dry wt). When the target was a spore suspension in water without surfactant, most spore-carrying droplets were in the 200—400 μm size category and most spores were carried in droplets with diameter >1000 μm. When surfactant was added to spore suspensions, most spore-carrying droplets were in the 0–200 μm category and most spores were carried in droplets with diameter 200–400 μm and none in droplets >1000 μm. Regression analyses showed a significant (p < 0.001) relationship between square root (number of spores per droplet) and droplet diameter; the slope of the regression line was greatest when surfactant was added to the spore suspensions. The distribution of splash droplets with distance travelled from the target was better fitted by an exponential model than by power law or Gaussian models. The distributions of spore-carrying droplets and spores with distance were fitted better by an exponential model than by a power law model. Thus regressions of log, (number collected) against distance were all significant (p < 0.01); the slopes of the regression lines were steepest when surfactant was added to the spore suspension. At a distance of 10 cm from target spore suspensions most splash droplets and spore-carrying droplets were collected at height 10–20 cm, with none above 40 cm; at a distance of 20 cm there were most at heights 0–10 cm and 40–50 cm. 相似文献

A simple, accurate, and precise bioanalytical method was developed and validated for the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters of sodium copper chlorophyllin, a USFDA approved food additive and colorant in rat plasma. The column used was Luna® C18 250×4.6 mm, 100 Å, having particle size 4.5 μm, and the mobile phase used was methanol (MeOH), and 10 mM ammonium acetate buffer in the ratio of 90 : 10, the flow rate was 1 ml/min, and the injection volume of 20 μL. The retention time of sodium copper chlorophyllin was obtained at 9 min. The method was found to be linear at the range of 0.50–8.00 μg mL?1. 相似文献

Three species of diatoms, Skeletonema costatum (Grev.) Cleve, Thalassiosira gravida Cleve, and T. pseudonana (Hustedt) Hasle et Heimdal, were grown in in situ dialysis culture in the Trondheimsfjord at depths of 0.5 and 4 m. The rates of growth and the chemical composition of exponentially growing cells were monitored and related to seasonal changes in illumination and temperature. Functions correlating growth rate with temperature were deduced. Growth took place from February to November. During this period temperature ranged from ?1 to 16°C, the average photon flux density (ifI) (per 24 h) from 9 to 570 μE · m?2 · s?1 (0.5 m depth), and the length of the days (I > 1 μE · m?2 · s?1) from 6 to 24 h. Light-limited growth was evident when the product of the average daily light and the chlorophyll/N ratio was < 10; this occurred mostly in early spring and late autumn. Peak densities (> 800 for the Thalassiosira spp. and > 1300–1400 μE · m?2 · s?1 for Skeletonema) seem to inhibit growth. The highest rates recorded were ≈1.6 doubl. · day?1 (July, 15–16°C).The three species exhibit different ecological behaviour. Skeletonema is eurythermal (Q10 = 1.8), whereas Thalassiosira pseudonana favours high temperatures, and T. gravida temperatures < 10°C. Moreover, Skeletonema has generally less chlorophyll and more phosphorus and ATP (≈ 1.4 ×) than the other two species. In Skeletonema, the ATP level seems related to the light-governed growth rate, and independent of temperature. In Thalassiosira no such correlation was found. 相似文献

Ceratium fusus (Ehrenb.) Dujardin was exposed to light of different wavelengths and photon flux densities (PFDs) to examine their effects on mechanically stimulable bioluminescence (MSL). Photoinhibition of MSL was proportional to the logarithm of PFD. Exposure to I μmol photons·m?2s?1 of broadband blue light (ca. 400–500 nm) produced near-complete photoinhibition (≥90% reduction in MSL) with a threshold at ca. 0.01 μmol photons·m?2·s?1. The threshold of photoinhibition was ca. an order of magnitude greater for both broadband green (ca. 500–580 nm) and red light (ca. 660–700 nm). Exposure to narrow spectral bands (ca. 10 nm half bandwidth) from 400 and 700 nm at a PFD of 0.1 μmol photons·m?2·s?1 produced a maximal response of photoinhibition in the blue wavelengths (peak ca. 490 nm). A photoinhibition response (≥ 10%) in the green (ca. 500–540 nm) and red wavelengths (ca. 680 nm) occurred only at higher PFDs (1 and 10 μmol photons·m?2·s?1). The spectral response is similar to that reported for Gonyaulax polyedra Stein and Pyrocystis lunula Schütt and unlike that of Alexandrium tamarense (Lebour) Balech et Tangen. The dinoflagellate's own bioluminescence is two orders of magnitude too low to result in self-photoinhibition. The quantitative relationships developed in the laboratory predict photoinhibition of bioluminescence in populations of C. fusus in the North Atlantic Ocean. 相似文献
