水温和体重对白斑红点鲑临界游泳速度和游动耗氧率的影响

为了揭示水温和体重对白斑红点鲑(Salvelinus leucomaenis)临界游泳速度和游动耗氧率的影响, 利用试验生态学方法测定了不同体重(1龄组、2龄组和3龄组)的白斑红点鲑在4、8、12、16、20和24℃共6个水温的临界游泳速度和游泳耗氧率。结果表明: 水温和体重对临界游泳速度的单独效应均显著(P0.05), 但水温和体重交互作用效应却不显著(P0.05), 在相同水温下白斑红点鲑临界游泳速度均随着年龄的增长(体重增加)而增加。水温4℃时3个年龄组白斑红点鲑临界游泳速度均最低, 分别为(21.61.06)、(22.930.61)和(30.271.29) cm/s, 随着水温的升高临界游泳速度均不断增加, 当水温升高到16℃时临界游泳速度达到最大值, 分别为(39.60.80)、(46.800.80)和(53.731.22) cm/s, 此后随着水温进一步升高到20℃, 临界游泳速度虽出现略微降低, 但经统计分析16℃和20℃时临界游泳速度无显著性差异(P0.05), 当水温达到24℃时却出现明显降低。水温和流速以及二者的交互作用对游泳耗氧率的影响均达到显著水平(P0.05), 白斑红点鲑在适宜的相同水温和流速时体重越大其游泳耗氧率越低, 整体观察3个年龄组白斑红点鲑鲑游泳耗氧率均随着水温和流速的增高而增高, 但当水温和流速升高到一定值游泳耗氧率却出现降低。研究得出体重较大的个体在相同水温下抵抗水流的游泳能力较强, 3个年龄组白斑红点鲑适宜的最高水温不应超过20℃, 最高流速依次不应超过32、40和48 cm/s。       

THE COMPOSITION OF WATER COLLECTED FROM THE KUISEB RIVER,NAMIB DESERT,AT GOBABEB

SUMMARY

Water from the Kuiseb River at Gobabeb varied in ionic content. Various ionic dominance orders were recorded from flooding until the pools dried up. The quality was not suitable for irrigation, but would present no problems when used by stock or wildlife.     

FERTILIZATION AND THE TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENTS OF OXYGEN CONSUMPTION IN EGGS OF ARBACIA PUNCTULATA

The eggs of A. punctulata have a high temperature coefficient in the resting state: Q ₁₀ = 4.1. On fertilization and on cytolysis the temperature coefficient falls to less than half the resting value: Q ₁₀ = 1.8 and 1.9 respectively. The factor by which oxygen consumption increases on fertilization is a variable, its magnitude depending on temperature as well as on egg species. It is nearly ten times greater at 11°C. and only double at 29.9°C. By extrapolating to 32°C. there would be no increase on fertilization. Critical thermal increments common to many oxidations, 6,500, 10,800, and 12,500, have been found. The possible significance of these results is discussed in relation to the catalytic mechanisms and structural organization of the egg cell.     

聚群与环境温度对黄毛鼠耗氧量的影响

黄毛鼠(Rattus losea)是我国长江以南分布极广的一种农林业重要害兽,也是南方恙虫病立克次体及钩端螺旋体的主要贮存宿主之一。林浩然等(1961)对黄毛鼠的某些生态研究中发现,该鼠在广东地区,秋冬季常有数只成鼠(6—7)同穴群居习性。1979—1980年,我们在浙江北部对黄毛鼠的生态作四季调查时,也发现此鼠于冬季有集群现象。但由于对黄毛鼠的生理生态还研究得很少,例如环境温度对黄毛鼠的影响怎样?聚群有何生理生态学方面的意义?因此本文试图着重探讨一下聚群与环境温度对黄毛鼠的能量代谢影响。     

SOD活性对高温酵母菌株乙醇忍受性的影响

研究了超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性与乙醇忍受性关系。结果表明,环境pH改变导致SOD构象及活性变化。酸性条件下,SOD在220nm波长附近吸收峰紫移,酶活性减弱或丧失,热致死最高温度降低;中、碱性条件（pH7～9）下,220nm波长附近吸收峰红移,酶活性及热致死温度未发生显著性改变。热休克和乙醇预处理MnSOD、CuZnSOD缺失菌株,不同程度提高细胞存活率,证实了MnSOD比CuZnSOD对菌株乙醇抗性起了更为重要的作用．     

TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION OF GERMINATING SEEDS OF LUPINUS ALBUS AND ZEA MAYS

The rate of oxygen consumption by germinating seeds of Lupinus albus and of Zea mays was studied as a function of temperature (7–26°C.). The Warburg manometer technique was used, with slight modifications. Above and below a critical temperature at 19.5°C. the temperature characteristic for oxygen consumption by Lupinus albus was found to be µ = 11,700± and 16,600 respectively. The same critical temperature was encountered in the case of Zea mays, with temperature characteristics µ = 13,100± above and µ = 21,050 below that temperature.     

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER-HOLES IN THE KUISEB RIVER CANYON,NAMIB DESERT

SUMMARY

Five water-holes in the Kuiseb River Canyon, Namib Desert, were monitored over a three month period during the 1977/78 dry season. Apart from the pronounced dominance of Ca(HCO₃)₂ in the water taken from a gorra (water-hole excavated by animals), the chemical composition of the waters analysed was dominated by NaHCO₃ An edaphic origin where the source water had lost its Ca through precipitation of CaCO₃ due to a pH shift is suggested. The saline character of the water-holes is partly ascribed to the input of sea salts through mist rain.     

ADAPTATION AND CONSTRAINT IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE PHYSIOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR OF THE NAMIB DESERT TENEBRIONID BEETLE GENUS ONYMACRIS

A comparative phylogenetic approach was used to test the following adaptive hypotheses pertaining to the physiological abilities of the Namib desert tenebrionid beetle genus Onymacris to withstand the hot, dry desert environment: (1) Desert-interior species evolved longer legs (relative to body size) than beetles in the cooler coastal region to facilitate stilting, i.e., elevating their bodies out of the hot boundary layer of air close to the substrate. (2) Wax blooms on the exoskeleton, which reduce evaporative water loss, are more likely to evolve in desert-interior species than in coastal species. (3) The high costs of activity in the extreme climates select for perfect coadaptation of preferred body temperatures (i.e., optimal temperatures for activity) and those they achieve in the field. All three of these adaptive hypotheses were supported by the results of squared-change parsimony and independent-contrasts analyses. Additionally, a parsimony approach suggested that a novel means of obtaining water from periodic fogs, known as fog basking, has evolved independently on two occasions.     

THE RESPIRATION OF LUMINOUS BACTERIA AND THE EFFECT OF OXYGEN TENSION UPON OXYGEN CONSUMPTION

1. The respiration of luminous bacteria has been studied by colorimetric and manometric methods. 2. Limulus oxyhaemocyanin has been used as a colorimetric indicator of oxygen consumption and indicator dyes were used for colorimetric determination of carbon dioxide production. 3. The Thunberg-Winterstein microrespirometer has been used for the measurement of the rate of oxygen consumption by luminous bacteria at different partial pressures of oxygen. 4. The effect of oxygen concentration upon oxygen consumption has been followed from equilibrium with air to low pressures of oxygen. 5. Luminous bacteria consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide independent of oxygen pressures from equilibrium with air (152 mm.) to approximately 22.80 mm. oxygen or 0.03 atmosphere. 6. Dimming of a suspension of luminous bacteria occurs when oxygen tension is lowered to approximately 2 mm. Hg (0.0026 atmosphere) and when the rate of respiration becomes diminished one-half. 7. Pure nitrogen stops respiratory activity and pure oxygen irreversibly inhibits oxygen consumption. 8. The curve for rate of oxygen consumption with oxygen concentration is similar to curves for adsorption of gasses at catalytic surfaces, and agrees with the Langmuir equation for the expression of the amount of gas adsorbed in unimolecular layer at catalytic surfaces with gas pressure. 9. A constant and maximum rate of oxygen consumption occurs in small cells when oxygen concentration becomes sufficient to entirely saturate the surface of the oxidative catalyst of the cell.

THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION OF LUMINOUS BACTERIA

Oxygen consumption of luminous bacteria determined by the Thunberg micro respirometer and by the time which elapses before the luminescence of an emulsion of luminous bacteria in sea water begins to dim, when over 99 per cent of the dissolved oxygen has been consumed, agree exactly. Average values for oxygen consumption at an average temperature of 21.5°C. are 4.26 x 10^–11 mg. O₂ per bacterium; 2.5 x 10⁴ mg. per kilo and 5.6 mg. O₂ per sq. m. of bacterial surface. The only correct comparison of the oxygen consumption of different organisms or tissues is in terms of oxygen used per unit weight with a sufficient oxygen tension so that oxygen consumption is independent of oxygen tension. Measurement of the oxygen concentration which just allows full luminescence, compared with a calculation of the oxygen concentration at the surface of a bacterial cell just necessary to allow the observed respiration throughout all parts of the cell, indicates that oxygen must diffuse into the bacterium much more slowly than through gelatin or connective tissue but not as slowly as through chitin.     

温度和盐度突变对菲律宾蛤仔斑马蛤耗氧率和排氨率的影响

为研究温度和盐度对蛤仔新品种斑马蛤耗氧排氨的影响,以野生蛤仔为对照,实验设置15、20、25、30和35℃五个温度梯度和20、25、30、35和40五个盐度梯度,结果表明:温度和盐度对斑马蛤的耗氧率和排氨率影响显著（P < 0.05）。在温度15-35℃内,随着温度的增加,耗氧率和排氨率整体上呈增加的趋势。在20-40盐度内,耗氧率随着盐度的升高先减少后增加,排氨率随着盐度的升高先增加后减少,在盐度为30时达到最高值。在水温为15℃,盐度20-40内,斑马蛤的O:N为9.534-62.008;在盐度为35,水温在15-35℃内,斑马蛤的O:N是20.700-74.138。与野生蛤仔比较,斑马蛤的耐高温能力要强于野生蛤仔,从Q₁₀的变化反映出斑马蛤对温度的敏感性相对较弱,适应温度变化的能力比较强;斑马蛤的耐低盐和耐高盐能力强于野生蛤仔。研究结果为进一步完善蛤仔斑马蛤的人工养殖技术提供参考。     

温度,含水量和光照对发菜固氮酶活性的影响

陆生蓝藻发菜(Nostoc flagelliforme)固氮酶活性的最适温度为21—28℃;最适藻丝体含水量为1000—1500%;最大饱和光强达150—200焦耳/m~2·秒。在湿润状态下,发菜对较高的温度很敏感。在45℃下1小时,发菜固氮酶失掉活性。在干燥状态下,发菜在55℃高温下,每天5小时,放置21天后,其固氮酶活性保持不变。预先培养4—5天的湿发菜对干燥变得敏感;但在干湿交替循环中,其固氮酶活性逐步提高,并明显地改善了它对干燥的抵抗能力。此外,在高盐浓度下(0.17—0.43mol/LNaCl)发菜的固氮酶活性被强烈地抑制,说明它不能耐盐碱。发菜的固氮生理特性是它对荒漠草原生态条件适应的结果。干湿交替循环或许是发菜维持生存的必需条件。
