Desulfovibrio vulgaris (strain Marburg) was grown on H2 and sulfate as sole energy source in a chemostat limited by the sulfate supply. The biomass concentration and the sulfate concentration in the culture were determined as a function of the dilution rate. From the data a K

of 13 g/mol were calculated. The organism was also grown in chemostat culture on H2 and sulfite, H2 and thiosulfate, and pyruvate (without sulfate).

High groundwater nitrate concentrations inhibit eutrophication of sulphate-rich freshwater wetlands 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

During the last 60 years, pollution of the groundwater with
has greatly increased in many parts of Europe, as a consequence of excessive use of manure and synthetic fertilisers. Monitoring of groundwater-fed wetlands indicated that sediments with high
concentrations had the lowest Fe and
concentrations in the pore water. A comparison of two restored open water fens, differing in
supply via the groundwater, indicated that the redox potential and the sulphate (
) reduction rate were lower when the groundwater contained not only
but also high
concentrations. The lower
reduction rates in the
-rich open water fen were associated with lower
concentrations and the presence of plant species characteristic of clear water. In contrast, the higher
reduction rates in the
-poor open water fen were associated with very high
concentrations and massive development of plant species characteristic of eutrophic environments. Investigations at
-rich seepage sites in black alder carrs, showed that high
concentrations in the pore water caused chlorosis in the alder carr vegetation, due to lower availability of Fe in the pore water and less Fe uptake by the plants. Experimental desiccation of sediments proved that the
-rich seepage sites contained no oxidisable FeS
x
, contrary to
-poor locations, which became acidified and mobilised extremely high amounts of
due to FeS
x
oxidation. A laboratory experiment showed that
addition to sediments led to reduced releases of Fe,
and S2–, very likely due to the oxidation of reduced Fe and S compounds. Overall, the results confirmed that
is an energetically more favourable electron acceptor in anaerobic sediments than Fe and
, and that high
loads function as a redox buffer, preventing reduction of Fe and
. Limited
reduction prevents S2– -mediated mobilisation of
from Fe-
complexes. At a higher redox potential, reduced Fe, including FeS
x
, was oxidised, increasing the content of Fe(III) capable of binding
. This prevented increased
availability and the concomitant massive development of plant species characteristic of eutrophic environments. 相似文献

The tetrameric heart isozyme of lactate dehydrogenase (H4) is modified by p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB) to produce the inactive tetramer
and then hybridized with native tetrameric muscle isozyme (M4). The hybrid mixture
was isolated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and then stained for enzyme activity and with Coomassie brilliant blue. Only three bands were found on the gels in either case. The hybrid enzymes
as isolated by PAGE have half the specific activity of the native muscle enzyme. The electrophoresis properties of HM3 are very similar to those of HM3, while the electrophoresis properties of
are very similar to those of H2M2. The above results strongly suggest that the tetramer having enzymatic activity contains at least two native subunits, and the di-subunit in the tetrameric enzyme is the minimal functional unit. 相似文献

Summary Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) experience a wide range of ambient temperatures (T
a) in their natural habitat. We examined body temperature (T
b), oxygen consumption (
), carbon dioxide production (
), evaporative water loss (
), and ventilation atT
a from –20 to 30 °C. Body temperature did not change significantly between –20 and 20°C (meanT
b=39.3°C).T
b increased slightly to 40.1 °C atT
a=30°C. Both
and
were constant and minimal atT
a between –10 and 20°C, with only minor increases at –20 and 30°C. The minimal
of adult penguins (mean mass 4.007 kg) was 0.0112 ml/[g·min], equivalent to a metabolic heat production (MHP) of 14.9 Watt. The respiratory exchange ratio was approximately 0.7 at allT
a. Values of
were low at lowT
a, but increased to 0.21 g/min at 30°C, equivalent to 0.3% of body mass/h. Dry conductance increased 3.5-fold between –20 and 30°C. Evaporative heat loss (EHL) comprised about 5% of MHP at lowT
a, rising to 47% of MHP atT
a=30°C. The means of ventilation parameters (tidal volume [VT], respiration frequency [f], minute volume [I], and oxygen extraction [
]) were fairly stable between –20 and 10°C (VT did not change significantly over the entireT
a range). However, there was considerable inter- and intra-individual variation in ventilation patterns. AtT
a=20–30°C,f increased 7-fold over the minimal value of 7.6 breaths/min, and I showed a similar change.

Summary In seawater (SW)-adaptedMugil andFundulus, gill effluxes of Na+
and of Cl–
and the simultaneously recorded transgill potential (P.D.) differ according to whether they are measured in stressed or rested animals.In rested animals of the two species, transfer to Ringer's solution considerably reduces the P.D. but not
. InFundulus,
is also decreased. Transfer of the two species from SW to fresh water (FW) reduces
and
by 75 to 85% and leads to a large inversion of P.D. When K+ is added to FW, a gill depolarization occurs, as well as a large increase of
and
.These results suggest that: 1) the P.D. originates primarily from the diffusion of cations, the gill permeability to Na+ (
) being greater than that to Cl– (
), 2) a Cl–/Cl– exchange independent of P.D. is associated with the Cl– pump; 3) Cl– pump activity is linked to Na+/K+ exchange which in turn is associated to a Na+/Na+ exchange diffusion mechanism.In stressed individuals of the two species, the P.D. in SW, as well as the P.D. changes observed during transfer experiments, are considerably reduced. The decrease of
and
observed after transfer from SW to FW are also minimised. Changes are smaller inFundulus. The decrease of P.D. characterizing stressed animals may be at least in part due to a 3 to 4 fold increase of
which becomes equal to
in both species.As a result of stress, the K+-activated Na+ and Cl– excretion mechanisms are totally inhibited inFundulus and partially so inMugil.Stress response seems more intense inFundulus and recovery from stress faster inMugil. 相似文献

The effect of exercise training on heart rate variability (HRV) and improvements in peak oxygen consumption (
peak) was examined in sedentary middle-aged men. The HRV and absolute and relative
peak of training (n = 19) and control (n = 15) subjects were assessed before and after a 24-session moderate intensity exercise training programme. Results indicated that with exercise training there was a significantly increased absolute and relative
peak (P < 0.005) for the training group (12% and 11% respectively) with no increase for the control group. The training group also displayed a significant reduction in resting heart rate; however, HRV remained unchanged. The trained subjects were further categorized into high (n = 5) and low (n = 5) HRV groups and changes in
peak were compared. Improvements in both absolute and relative
peak were significantly greater (P > 0.005) in the high HRV group (17% and 20% respectively) compared to the low HRV group (6% and 1% respectively). The groups did not differ in mean age, pretraining oxygen consumption, or resting heart rate. These results would seem to suggest that a short aerobic training programme does not alter HRV in middle-aged men. Individual differences in HRV, however, may be associated with
peak response to aerobic training. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to measure running times to exhaustion (Tlim) on a treadmill at 100% of the minimum velocity which elicits
max
max in 38 elite male long - distance runners
max = 71.4 ± 5.5 ml.kg–1.min–1 and
max = 21.8 ± 1.2 km.h–1). The lactate threshold (LT) was defined as a starting point of accelerated lactate accumulation around 4 mM and was expressed in
max. Tlim value was negatively correlated with
max (r = -0.362, p< 0.05) and
max (r = –0.347, p< 0.05) but positively with LT (%v
max) (r = 0.378, p < 0.05). These data demonstrate that running time to exhaustion at
max in a homogeneous group of elite male long-distance runners was inversely related to
max and experimentally illustrates the model of Monod and Scherrer regarding the time limit-velocity relationship adapted from local exercise for running by Hughson et al. (1984) . 相似文献

Summary The energy requirements of Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) chicks were analysed with respect to body mass (W, 0.145–3.35 kg, n=36) and various forms of activity (lying, standing, minor activity, locomotion, walking on a treadmill). Direct respirometry was used to measure O2 consumption (
) and CO2 production. Heart rate (HR, bpm) was recorded from the ECG obtained by both externally attached electrodes and implantable HR-transmitters. The parameters measured were not affected by hand-rearing of the chicks or by implanting transmitters. HR measured in the laboratory and in the field were comparable. Oxygen uptake ranged from
in lying chicks to
at maximal activity, RQ=0.76. Metabolic rate in small wild chicks (0.14–0.38 kg) was not affected by time of day, nor was their feeding frequency in the colony (Dec 20–21). Regressions of HR on
were highly significant (p< 0.0001) in transmitter implanted chicks (n=4), and two relationships are proposed for the pooled data, one for minor activities (
), and one for walking (
). Oxygen consumption, mass of the chick (2–3 kg), and duration of walking (T, s) were related as
, whereas mass-specific O2 consumption was related to walking speed (S, m·s-1) as

was varied from 0 to nearly 100%. These effects of oxygen were discussed, referring to the activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase that is inhibited competitively by oxygen.Non-Standard Abbreviations INH

Summary Gas conductance of the shell, rates of O2 consumption, CO2 production and air cell gas tensions were measured in pre-internal pipping, 19 day-old chicken eggs that were selected for a wide range in shell conductance. Regional conductance was measured in eggs with partially waxed shells.Surface-specific shell conductance was not uniform over the egg; it was over 3-fold higher at the poles than at the equator. Conductance was about 59% higher over the air cell than over the chorioallantoic part of the egg. Surface-specific perfusion was 12% higher in the air cell. Therefore the
in the air cell was higher, and the
lower, than values calculated for the whole egg. The mean difference in
between the air cell and the chorioallantoic part of the egg was 14.8 Torr, and that of
, was 7.0 Torr. These differences were somewhat dependent on total conductance. Respiratory gas exchange ratio (
) was higher in the air cell (R=0.82) and lower in the chorioallantoic region (R=0.67) than for the whole egg (R=0.70). Air cell R increased slightly in eggs of higher total conductance.Mismatching of regional shell conductance and chorioallantoic perfusion contributes to a functional venous shunt that is partly responsible for nonequilibrium between the air cell and the blood in the chorioallantoic veins.Symbols and abbreviations

To determine the change in muscle oxygenation in response to progressively increasing work rate exercise, muscle oxyhemoglobin + oxymyoglobin saturation was measured transcutaneously with near infrared spectroscopy in the vastus lateralis muscle during cycle ergometry. Studies were done in 11 subjects while gas exchange was measured breath-by-breath. As work rate was increased, tissue oxygenation initially either remained constant near resting levels or, more usually, decreased. Near the work rate and metabolic rate where significant lactic acidosis was detected by excess CO2 production (lactic acidosis threshold, LAT), muscle oxygenation decreased more steeply. As maximum oxygen uptake (
) was approached, the rate of desaturation slowed. In 8 of the 11 subjects, tissue O2 saturation reached a minimum which was sustained for 1–3 min before
was reached. The LAT correlated with both the
(r = 0.95,P < 0.0001) and the work rate (r = 0.94,P < 0.0001) at which the rate of tissue O2 desaturation accelerated. These results describe a consistent pattern in the rate of decrease in muscle oxygenation, slowly decreasing over the lower work rate range, decreasing more rapidly in the work rate range of the LAT and then slowing at about 80% of
, approaching or reaching a minimum saturation at

Summary Eggs of the brush turkey (BT) and mallee fowl (MF) are incubated in mounds of soil and plant litter. Humidity in BT mounds is always near saturation (>99% RH), but in MF mounds it drops to lower values in summer (x=77% RH). Despite these high humidities, the eggs lose an average of 9.5% (BT) and 12.0% (MF) of their initial mass by evaporation before hatching. The rate of evaporation
increases during incubation several-fold due to large changes in water vapor conductance of the shell
and embryonic heat production. Values of
in fully incubated eggs in mound material are about 3–6 times higher than values obtained from unincubated eggs in desiccators. This effect depends on two factors: (1)
increases with ambient humidity, especially above 80% RH, possibly because the effective site of evaporation moves out along the walls of the pores in the eggshell. (2) Structural changes of the pores due to calcium absorption by the embryo directly increase
. The first factor is most important in BT eggs and the second is dominant in MF eggs. Production of metabolic heat by the embryo increases the vapor pressure difference across the shell and further increases
, especially in mounds of high humidity. The changes in pore structure are adaptive because they produce high conductances to respiratory gases and cause normal gas tensions within the egg at the end of development, yet
is low enough in early development to prevent excessive water loss. Water not lost by evaporation or taken up by the embryo is stored and released during hatching. A small amount of mass is lost during incubation by respiratory gas exchange.Abbreviations

Power-oxygen uptake (
) frequency responses can be used to predict
responses to arbitrary exercise intensity patterns. It is still an open question for which range of exercise intensities such computed
response patterns yield valid predictions. In the present study, we determined the power-
frequency response of nine sports students by means of pseudo-randomised switching between 20 W and 80 W during upright and supine cycle exercise. Starting from a baseline of 20 W each subject also performed sustained step increases to 40 W, 80 W, 120 W, and 160 W in both positions. The individual
step responses were then compared with the expected
time-courses predicted on the basis of the individual
frequency responses. The comparison showed a close agreement for the 20 W–40 W and 20 W–80 W steps in both positions. With larger step amplitudes the
kinetics became increasingly slower than the predicted
time course in both positions. During additional ramp tests (10 W · 30 s–1) whole blood lactic acid concentration [1a–]b tended to be higher in the supine position at exercise intensities higher than 160 W. The mean power at 4 mmol · 1–1 [la–]b amounted to 234 (SD 32) W and 253 (SD 44) W (P<5%) in the supine and the upright position, respectively. The maximal oxygen uptake relative to body mass was not found to be significantly different [upright, mean 57 (SD 10) ml · (min · kg)–1;supine, mean 54 (SD 10) ml · (min · kg)]. These findings would suggest that for a range of mild exercise intensities
kinetics are not appreciably influenced by the step amplitude or by cardiovascular changes associated with the upright and the supine position. 相似文献

Summary The effects of different ambient temperatures (T

) decreased with increasingT
a atT
a from –10 to 30 °C. The
was 15–20% smaller at high altitude than at low altitude atT
a below 30 °C.Increased
atT
a below thermoneutrality was supported by increased minute volume (
) at both low and high altitude. At mostT
a, the change in
was primarily a function of changing respiration frequency (f); relatively little change occurred in tidal volume (V
T) or oxygen extraction efficiency (O2EE). AtT
a=0 °C and below at high altitude,
was constant due to decliningV
T and O2EE increased in order to maintain high
.At high altitude,
(BTP) was 30–40% higher at a givenT
a than at low altitude, except atT
a below 10 °C. The increased
at high altitude was due primarily to a proportional increase inf, which attained mean values of 450–500 breaths/min atT
a below 0 °C. The
(STP) was equivalent at high and low altitude atT
a of 10 °C and above. At lowerT
a,
(STPD) was larger at low altitude.At both altitudes, respiratory heat loss was a small fraction (<10%) of metabolic heat production, except at highT

Summary Nest humidity (
) under an incubating bantam hen was measured at ambient
ranging from 1.3 to 25.0 mmHg. Weight loss of eggs was recorded in clutches of varying size. Nest
and ambient
were also measured in wild incubating willow ptarmigan nests in dry and wet habitats.Nest
increased linearly with ambient
in a way predictable on the assumption that the water vapour conductance (
) of brood patch skin, plumage and eggs were constant and independent of ambient
. Nest
was also dependent of clutch size. Egg dehydration was quantitatively predicted from measured values and the laws of diffusion.Our findings confirm earlier conclusions that the adult bird does not actively regulate nest
at varying ambient
. Birds can presumably achieve appropriate egg dehydration by a strategy combining nest site, nest construction, egg shell conductance and incubation behaviour which meets the requirements of their breeding climate.Abbreviations

Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum was grown in continuous culture in a fermenter gassed with H2 and CO2 as sole carbon and energy sources, and in a medium which contained either NH4Cl or gaseous N2 as nitrogen source. Growth was possible with N2. Steady states were obtained at various gas flow rates with NH4Cl and with
and the maintenance coefficient varied with the gas input and with the nitrogen source. Growth of Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus in continuous culture in a fermenter gassed with H2, CO2 as nitrogen, carbon and energy sources was also examined.Abbreviations

Summary Nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.2) activity (NRA), as measured by an in vivo assay, is present in needle leaves and mycorrhizal fine root tips of adult Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] in at least equal amounts on a fresh weight basis, in both adult and 5-year-old trees. NRA could also be demonstrated in trunk wood of deroted trees after fertilization with 5 mM
, exhibiting a longitudinal profile in the trunk. Inducibility in needles can more efficiently be achieved by NO2 (100 g·m-3) than by 5 mM nitrate, which is effective only in root-amputated trees. A remarkably high level of needle-NRA in unfertilized trees, which are characterized by a very low level of nitrate in the xylem sap, suggests that NRA in spruce needles may in part be constitutive. Organic-N is a major nitrogen source for the needles even in root-amputated trees, indicating pronounced exchange processes between ray parenchyma and trunk xylem, which in turn are modified by the nitrogen source fed to the trunk stump. Intact trees exhibit a very similar amino acid composition of the xylem sap, regardless of whether
or
has been fed. The amino acid pattern of the needles is not thrown out of balance by flooding with
and
, which occurs in fertilized derooted trees. This indicates a distinct potential for homoeostasis of nitrogen entrance-metabolism (i.e. NRA and glutamine synthetase activity) in the needles. In the ectomycorrhiza/fine root-system (EMC), marked differences in NRA were observed depending on root-tip diameter and along the longitudinal profile of the fine roots. EMC-nitrate reductase is strongly enhanced by
. Needle-NRA exhibits a circannual rhythm. An early summer maximum is followed by a December minimum. This activity pattern matches well the transitory increase of soluble nitrogen in spring and the total protein maximum in winter. In an indirect way assimilatory NRA may well contribute to nitrogen overfertilization (by consumption of NOX) as one possible cause of the contemporary decline of spruce populations. 相似文献

Maximum submergence time of Canada geese was 18% of that of similarly sized Pekin ducks. Due to a smaller respiratory system volume the oxygen store of Canada geese was 82% of that of Pekin ducks, accounting for approximately 33% of the difference in underwater survival times. The respiratory properties and volume of the blood were similar in both species. Both species utilised approximately 79% of the respiratory oxygen store and 90% of the blood oxygen store. Therefore, most of the species difference in survival times was due to a less effective oxygen-conserving cardiovascular response (bradycardia, peripheral vasoconstriction) in Canada geese. Duck cardiac chronotropic sensitivity to hypoxia during submergence was twice that observed in geese. Furthermore, a lower hypoxic ventilatory response was observed in geese than in ducks. Density of monoamine varicosities in hindlimb artery walls was lower in geese than ducks. However, electrical stimulation of the hindlimb muscles did not cause ascending vasodilation during submergence in either species, perhaps due to higher levels of catecholamines in submerged geese. We conclude that the major difference between species is higher oxygen chemosensitivity in ducks which effects a much more rapid and efficacious oxygen-conserving response during forced submergence.Abbreviations ATPS · BTPS · STPD
