The membraneless bioelectrochemical reactor (Ml-BER) is useful for dark hydrogen fermentation. The effect of the electrochemical reaction on microorganisms in the Ml-BER was investigated using glucose as the substrate and compared with organisms in a membraneless non-bioelectrochemical reactor (Ml-NBER) and bioelectrochemical reactor (BER) with a proton exchange membrane. The potentials on the working electrode of the Ml-BER and BER with membrane were regulated to ?0.9 V (versus Ag/AgCl) to avoid water electrolysis with a carbon electrode. The Ml-BER showed suppressed methane production (19.8?±?9.1 mg-C·L?1·day?1) and increased hydrogen production (12.6?±?3.1 mg-H·L?1·day?1) at pHout 6.2?±?0.1, and the major intermediate was butyrate (24.9?±?2.4 mM), suggesting efficient hydrogen fermentation. In contrast, the Ml-NBER showed high methane production (239.3?±?17.9 mg-C·L?1·day?1) and low hydrogen production (0.2?±?0.0 mg-H·L?1·day?1) at pHout 6.3?±?0.1. In the cathodic chamber of the BER with membrane, methane production was high (276.3?±?20.4 mg-C·L?1·day?1) (pHout, 7.2?±?0.1). In the anodic chamber of the BER with membrane (anode-BER), gas production was low because of high lactate production (43.6?±?1.7 mM) at pHout 5.0?±?0.1. Methanogenic archaea were not detected in the Ml-BER and anode-BER. However, Methanosarcina sp. and Methanobacterium sp. were found in Ml-NBER. Prokaryotic copy numbers in the Ml-BER and Ml-NBER were similar, as were the bacterial community structures. Thus, the electrochemical reaction in the Ml-BER affected hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic methanogens, but not the bacterial community. 相似文献

The rate of emergence of micropredatory gnathiid isopods from the benthos, the proportion of emerging gnathiids potentially eaten by Labroides dimidiatus, and the volume of blood that gnathiids potentially remove from fishes (using gnathiid gut volume) were determined. The abundance (mean ±s.e .) of emerging gnathiids was 41·7 ± 6·9 m?2 day?1 and 4552 ± 2632 reef?1 day?1 (reefs 91–125 m2). The abundance of emerging gnathiids per fish on the reef was 4·9 ± 0·8 day?1; but excluding the rarely infested pomacentrid fishes, it was 20·9 ± 3·8 day?1. The abundance of emerging gnathiids per patch reef was 66 ± 17% of the number of gnathiids that all adult L. dimidiatus per reef eat daily while engaged in cleaning behaviour. If all infesting gnathiids subsequently fed on fish blood, their total gut volume per reef area would be 17·4 ± 5·6 mm3 m?2 day?1; and per fish on the reefs, it would be 2·3 ± 0·5 mm?3 fish?1 day?1 and 10·3 ± 3·1 mm3 fish?1 day?1 (excluding pomacentrids). The total gut volume of gnathiids infesting caged (137 mm standard length, LS) and removed from wild (100–150 mm LS) Hemigymnus melapterus by L. dimidiatus was 26·4 ± 24·6 mm3 day?1 and 53·0 ± 9·6 mm3 day?1, respectively. Using H. melapterus (137 mm LS, 83 g) as a model, gnathiids had the potential to remove, 0·07, 0·32, 0·82 and 1·63% of the total blood volume per day of each fish, excluding pomacentrids, caged H. melapterus and wild H. melapterus, respectively. In contrast, emerging gnathiids had the potential of removing 155% of the total blood volume of Acanthochromis polyacanthus (10·7 mm LS, 0·038 g) juveniles. That L. dimidiatus eat more gnathiids per reef daily than were sampled with emergence traps suggests that cleaner fishes are an important source of mortality for gnathiids. Although the proportion of the total blood volume of fishes potentially removed by blood‐feeding gnathiids on a daily basis appeared to be low for fishes weighing 83 g, the cumulative effects of repeated infections on the health of such fish remains unknown; attacks on small juvenile fishes, may result in possibly lethal levels of blood loss. 相似文献

Halimeda is a potential carbon sink species and an important player in the global carbonate budget. The objectives of this study were to: (i) examine the CaCO3 and sediment productions of H. macroloba by measuring the density, growth rate, and recruitment; (ii) quantify the numbers of aragonite crystals; (iii) document reproductive events; and (iv) determine the life‐span. This study was carried out at Lidee Lek Island, Satun, Thailand during July 2015 to April 2016. The density was measured using quadrats (0.25 m2) and three 50 m line transects. Alizarin Red‐S marking technique was used for the growth rate and CaCO3 accumulation rate assessments. The recruitment, reproduction and life‐span were measured by tagging 500 individuals. Tagged individuals and new plants were counted. In this study, mean and the highest density of Halimeda were 44.42 ± 13.95 and 138.22 ± 11.68 thalli m?2, respectively, and Halimeda produced 1–2 new segments.thallus?1 day?1 or 0.021 ± 0.001 g dry weight.thallus?1.day?1. The annual biomass production was 1910–5950 g m?2 year.?1. There was a low rate of occurrence of sexual reproduction, observed in late July to September, ranging from 0.17% to 1.92%. For the mortality and recruitment rates, approximately 70–80% of individuals were lost during July to September 2015, probably from sexual reproduction and the recruitment rate varied from 5.36 ± 0.79% to 21.03 ± 2.33%. The highest density of new recruits was found in September 2015 right after the sexual reproductive event occurred. New recruits have been found up to April 2016 without any reproductive events, suggesting that both sexual and asexual reproduction helped maintain the population. The life span of Halimeda was 8–12 months. In addition, Halimeda accumulated CaCO3 at approximately 0.018 g CaCO3 thallus?1 day?1 and produced CaCO3 at approximately 291.94–908.11 g m?2 year?1, indicating that Halimeda contributes to CaCO3 and helps to sink carbon through calcification. The results in terms of the density, growth rate, and CaCO3 accumulation rate can be used to calculate the mass of carbonate sediment contributed by Halimeda. 相似文献

Studies were performed on the effect of CaCO3 and CaCl2 supplementation to fermentation medium for ethanol production from xylose, glucose, or their mixtures using Scheffersomyces (Pichia) stipitis. Both of these chemicals were found to improve maximum ethanol concentration and ethanol productivity. Use of xylose alone resulted in the production of 20.68 ± 0.44 g L?1 ethanol with a productivity of 0.17 ± 0.00 g L?1 h?1, while xylose plus 3 g L?1 CaCO3 resulted in the production of 24.68 ± 0.75 g L?1 ethanol with a productivity of 0.21 ± 0.01 g L?1 h?1. Use of xylose plus glucose in combination with 3 g L?1 CaCO3 resulted in the production of 47.37 ± 0.55 g L?1 ethanol (aerobic culture), thus resulting in an ethanol productivity of 0.39 ± 0.00 g L?1 h?1. These values are 229 % of that achieved in xylose medium. Supplementation of xylose and glucose medium with 0.40 g L?1 CaCl2 resulted in the production of 44.84 ± 0.28 g L?1 ethanol with a productivity of 0.37 ± 0.02 g L?1 h?1. Use of glucose plus 3 g L?1 CaCO3 resulted in the production of 57.39 ± 1.41 g L?1 ethanol under micro-aerophilic conditions. These results indicate that supplementation of cellulosic sugars in the fermentation medium with CaCO3 and CaCl2 would improve economics of ethanol production from agricultural residues. 相似文献

There has been considerable interest in cultivation of green microalgae (Chlorophyta) as a source of lipid that can alternatively be converted to biodiesel. However, almost all mass cultures of algae are carbon-limited. Therefore, to reach a high biomass and oil productivities, the ideal selected microalgae will most likely need a source of inorganic carbon. Here, growth and lipid productivities of Tetraselmis suecica CS-187 and Chlorella sp were tested under various ranges of pH and different sources of inorganic carbon (untreated flue gas from coal-fired power plant, pure industrial CO2, pH-adjusted using HCl and sodium bicarbonate). Biomass and lipid productivities were highest at pH 7.5 (320?±?29.9 mg biomass L?1 day?1and 92?±?13.1 mg lipid L?1 day?1) and pH 7 (407?±?5.5 mg biomass L?1 day?1 and 99?±?17.2 mg lipid L?1 day?1) for T. suecica CS-187 and Chlorella sp, respectively. In general, biomass and lipid productivities were pH 7.5?>?pH 7?>?pH 8?>?pH 6.5 and pH 7?>?pH 7.5?=?pH 8?>?pH 6.5?>?pH 6?>?pH 5.5 for T. suecica CS-187 and Chlorella sp, respectively. The effect of various inorganic carbon on growth and productivities of T. suecica (regulated at pH?=?7.5) and Chlorella sp (regulated at pH?=?7) grown in bag photobioreactors was also examined outdoor at the International Power Hazelwood, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. The highest biomass and lipid productivities of T. suecica (51.45?±?2.67 mg biomass L?1 day?1 and 14.8?±?2.46 mg lipid L?1 day?1) and Chlorella sp (60.00?±?2.4 mg biomass L?1 day?1 and 13.70?±?1.35 mg lipid L?1 day?1) were achieved when grown using CO2 as inorganic carbon source. No significant differences were found between CO2 and flue gas biomass and lipid productivities. While grown using CO2 and flue gas, biomass productivities were 10, 13 and 18 %, and 7, 14 and 19 % higher than NaHCO3, HCl and unregulated pH for T. suecica and Chlorella sp, respectively. Addition of inorganic carbon increased specific growth rate and lipid content but reduced biomass yield and cell weight of T. suecica. Addition of inorganic carbon increased yield but did not change specific growth rate, cell weight or content of the cell weight of Chlorella sp. Both strains showed significantly higher maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) when grown under optimum pH. 相似文献

To investigate the extent to which European silver eels Anguilla anguilla, originating from stocking programmes in the Baltic Sea tributaries, effectively contribute to the spawning stock, two hundred and seventy‐four formerly stocked A. anguilla. emigrating from the Schwentine River near Kiel, Germany, were tagged with T‐Bar anchor tags. A total of 29 Anguilla spp. were recaptured (c. 11%) up to 14 months after release. Stocking history of recaptured A. anguilla. was confirmed by otolith microchemistry. Recapture locations were concentrated around the outlet of the Baltic Sea (Danish Belt Sea) with 62% of all recaptures reported here or in the Kattegat. Recaptured Anguilla spp. showed a reduction in both LT and mass (mean ± s.d . = ?1·5 ± 0·9 cm and ?125·3 ± 50·1 g) while average total fat content remained in the order of values previously reported as high enough to provide energy resources to allow successful completion of the spawning migration (mean ± s.d . = 28·4 ± 4·4%). The documented mean rate of travel (0·8 km day?1), however, indicated a delay in the target‐oriented migration that might be interpreted as a delayed initial migration phase of orientation towards the exit of the Baltic Sea. 相似文献

An instrument package carrying pH and oxygen electrodes and a thermistor was floated across a reef flat at different times of the day and night. The data collected were used to obtain profiles of primary production, respiration, and calcification or solution of reef rock across the transect area. Average rates for these processes across the transect area, and rates at particular points along the transect, were related to light intensity and light response curves were constructed for productivity and calcification. Productivity tended to saturate at high light intensities and the amplitude and shape of the response curve changed with distance from the reef crest. Calcification showed no such saturation. Rates of calcification, and the dependence of calcification on light intensity, increased with distance from the reef crest. Average reef flat gross productivity and net calcification, based on the light response curves were 8.8 g C · m ?2 · day?1 and 9.4 g CaCO3 · m?2 · day?1 (3.5 kg · m?2· yr?1), and the production: consumption ratio was 1.16:1. These results were obtained in late summer, and are for a cloudless day. The results suggest that the degree of stability in the reef surface, and the amount of disturbance experienced by different reef flat communities, probably exert major controls on reef flat community metabolism. 相似文献

Experimental studies have shown that coral calcification rates are dependent on light, nutrients, food availability, temperature, and seawater aragonite saturation (Ω arag), but the relative importance of each parameter in natural settings remains uncertain. In this study, we applied Calcein fluorescent dyes as time indicators within the skeleton of coral colonies (n = 3) of Porites astreoides and Diploria strigosa at three study sites distributed across the northern Bermuda coral reef platform. We evaluated the correlation between seasonal average growth rates based on coral density and extension rates with average temperature, light, and seawater Ω arag in an effort to decipher the relative importance of each parameter. The results show significant seasonal differences among coral calcification rates ranging from summer maximums of 243 ± 58 and 274 ± 57 mmol CaCO3 m?2 d?1 to winter minimums of 135 ± 39 and 101 ± 34 mmol CaCO3 m?2 d?1 for P. astreoides and D. strigosa, respectively. We also placed small coral colonies (n = 10) in transparent chambers and measured the instantaneous rate of calcification under light and dark treatments at the same study sites. The results showed that the skeletal growth of D. strigosa and P. astreoides, whether hourly or seasonal, was highly sensitive to Ω arag. We believe this high sensitivity, however, is misleading, due to covariance between light and Ω arag, with the former being the strongest driver of calcification variability. For the seasonal data, we assessed the impact that the observed seasonal differences in temperature (4.0 °C), light (5.1 mol photons m?2 d?1), and Ω arag (0.16 units) would have on coral growth rates based on established relationships derived from laboratory studies and found that they could account for approximately 44, 52, and 5 %, respectively, of the observed seasonal change of 81 ± 14 mmol CaCO3 m?2 d?1. Using short-term light and dark incubations, we show how the covariance of light and Ω arag can lead to the false conclusion that calcification is more sensitive to Ω arag than it really is. 相似文献

Ventilation was measured directly in the hagfish, Myxine glutinosa L., by means of an electro-magnetic blood flowmeter. Ventilatory flow and frequency increased from 0.86 ± 0.27 ml·min?, and 18.2 ± 5.1·min?, respectively, at 7°C to 1.70 ± 0.20 ml·min?, and 70.1 ± 9.5·min? at 15 ·C.Standard oxygen consumption,V?O2, was measured in non-buried hagfish. V?O2 was 0.57 ± 0.17μl O2·g?1·min?1 at 7°C, and 0.85 ± 0.12μl O2·g?1·min?1 at 15°C. 相似文献

Cow manure with bedding is renewable organic biomass available around the year on dairy farms. Developing efficient and cost-effective psychrophilic dry anaerobic digestion (PDAD) processes could contribute to solving farm-related environmental, energy, and manure management problems in cold-climate regions. This study was to increase the organic loading rate (OLR), fed to a novel psychrophilic (20 °C) dry anaerobic digestion of 27 % total solid dairy manure (cow feces and wheat straw) in sequence batch reactor (PDAD-SBR), by 133 to 160 %. The PDAD-SBR process operated at treatment cycle length of 21 days and OLR of 7.0 and 8.0 g total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD)?kg?1 inoculum day?1 (5.2?±?0.1 and 5.8?±?0.0 g volatile solids (VS)?kg?1 inoculum day?1) for four successive cycles (84 days) produced average specific methane yields (SMYs) of 147.1?±?17.2 and 143.2?±?11.7 normalized liters (NL)?CH4?kg?1 VS fed, respectively. PDAD of cow feces and wheat straw is possible with VS-based inoculum-to-substrate ratio of 1.45 at OLR of 8.0 g TCOD kg?1 inoculum day?1. Hydrolysis was the limiting step reaction. The VS removal averaged around 57.4?±?0.5 and 60.5?±?5.7 % at OLR 7.0 and 8.0 g TCOD kg?1 inoculum day?1, respectively. 相似文献

Measurements of bimodal oxygen uptake have been made in a freshwater air-breathing fish,Notopterus chitala at 29.0±1(S.D.)°C. xhe mean oxygen uptake from continuously flowing water without any access to air, was found to be 3.58±0.37 (S.E.) ml O2 · h?1 and 56.84+4.29 (S.E.) ml O2 · kg?1 · h?1 for a fish weighing 66.92 + 11.27 (S.E.) g body weight. In still water with access to air, the mean oxygen uptake through the gills were recorded to be 2.49 ± 0.31 (S.E.) ml O2 · h?1 and 38.78 ± 1.92 (S.E.) ml O2 · kg?1 · h?1 and through the accessory respiratory organs (swim-bladder) 6.04±0.87 (S.E.) ml O2 · h?1 and 92.32±2.91 (S.E.) ml O2 · kg?1 · h?1 for a fish averaging 66.92±11.27 (S.E.) g. Out of the total oxygen uptake (131.10 ml O2 · kg?1 · h?1), about 70% was obtained through the aerial route and the remainder 30% through the gills. 相似文献

Duckweed, Lemna gibba, was grown in 12 m2 shallow ponds in the Negev desert, during 12 months of continuous cultivation, beginning April 1984. Average monthly growth rates varied with the season of the year. The lowest daily yield, 2·6±0·4 g dry weight m−2 day−1, was obtained during January. Highest daily yields, 7·9±2·6 g dry weight m−2 day−1 and 7·0±1·2 g dry weight m−2 day−1, were obtained during September and May. A 35% decline of the yield was seen during midsummer (July), 4·8±1·2 g dry weight m−2 day−1. The average rate for the year was 5·15±1·7 g dry weight m−2 day−1. The protein content of the plants ranged from 30 to 38% per unit dry weight.Growth performance is discussed in relation to the prevailing climatic conditions. 相似文献

Pulse radiolysis-kinetic spectrometry has been used to investigate the reaction of hydrated electrons with ferricytochrome c in dilute aqueous solution at pH 6.5–7.0. Time resolutions from 2·10?7 to 1 s were employed. Transient spectra from 320 to 580 nm were characterized with a wavelength resolution of ±0.5 nm. 1 In neutral salt-free solution, k(ferricytochrome c+e?aq)=(6.0±0.9)·1010 M?1·s?1 and k(ferricytochrome c+H)=(1.2±0.2)·1010 M?1·s?1. The reaction of ferricytochrome c with hydrated electrons is sensitive to ionic strength; in 0.1 M NaClO4, k(ferricytochrome c+e?aq)=(2.4±0.4)·1010 M?1·s?1. In contrast, k(ferricytochrome c+H) is insensitive to ionic strength. Time resolution of three spectral stages has been accomplished. The primary spectrum is the first observable spectrum detectable after irradiation and is formed in a second-order process. Its rate of formation is indisting-uishable from the rate of disappearance of the electron spectrum. The secondary spectrum is generated in a true first order intramolecular process, k(p→s)=(1.2±0.1)·105 s?1. The tertiary spectrum is also generated in a true first-order process, k(s→t)=(1.3±0.2)·102 s?1. The specific rates of both transformations are independent of the wavelength of measurement. The tertiary spectrum, observable 50 ms after initial reaction and remaining unchanged thereafter for at least 1 s, shows that relaxed ferrocytochrome c is the only detectable product. This product is not autoxidizable, as expected for native reduced enzyme. It is more probable that the intramolecular changes responsible for the p→s and s→t spectral transformations involve the influence of conformational relaxation of ferrocytochrome c upon electronic energy states then that they are intramolecular transmission of reducing equivalents from primary sites of electron attachment. 相似文献

The effects of pulsed ammonium additions on the ammonium-limited marine diatoms, Chaetoceros gracile Schutt and Skeletonema costatum (Grev.) Cleve were studied. Two culture systems were maintained for each species. One culture was grown in a chemostat which provided a homogeneous distribution of the limiting nutrient. In the other continuous culture, ammonium was added once daily giving rise to a patchy distribution. Ammonium patchiness increased both the V'max (from 4.1 ± 0.3 to 11.8 ± 0.9 · h?1) and the Vi (from 0.19 ± 0.02 to 0.36 ± 0 0.04 · h?1) for ammonium in S. costatum and the V'max (from 0.91 ± 0.07 to 2.9 ± 0 0.2 · h?1) and the Vi (from 0.16 ± 0.01 to 0.31 ± 0.05 · h?1) for ammonium in Chaetoceros gracile. The once-per-day addition of ammonium also induced a diel periodicity in photosynthetic rate and fluorescence although these cultures were growing under continuous light. The relative amplitude of the periodicity was greater for Skeletonema than for Chaetoceros. These observations are considered with regard to the hypothesis that limiting nutrient patchiness may alter the growth kinetics of marine phytoplankton. 相似文献

In this study we measure energy intake via milk in nursing bearded seal (Erignathus barbatus) pups and determine how this energy is allocated into metabolism and storage of new tissues. This was accomplished using
longitudinal mass gain records and the doubly labelled water technique on nursing pups in combination with cross-sectional
data on changes in milk composition from bearded seal mothers. The pups (n=3) were all less than a week old at the start of the experiments. Pups gained 3.3±0.4 kg·day-1 of which 50% was fat, 14% protein and 36% water. Average daily water influx for the pups was 69.5±9.0 ml · kg-1· day-1. Average CO2 production during the study period was 0.99±0.10 ml·g-1·h-1, which corresponds to a field metabolic rate of 642±67 kJ·kg-1· day-1, or 6.0±0.5 times the predicted basal metabolic rate according to Kleiber (1975). The pups drank an average of 7.6±0.5 kg
of milk daily. This corresponds to a daily energy intake of 154±8 MJ, 47±14% of which was stored as new body tissue. Despite
this high energy intake bearded seal pups do not get as fat as do other nursing phocids. This is in part due to their larger
body size but also due to their very active aquatic lifestyle and the lower and more consistent fat content of the milk compared
to other phocid species. Bearded seal mothers forage during lactation and may also be involved in teaching their pups to feed
independently. All these data suggest that the lactation strategy of bearded seals differs from the phocid norm. 相似文献

The effects of diurnal variations in light intensity on the biomass characteristics and the efficiency of daily growth of Skeletonema costatum (Grev.) Cleve were evaluated. The relative importance of changes in carbon specific rates of respiration and organic release to the efficiency of growth was determined. Light intensity was either constant at 130 μE · m?2 · s?1 during the light period or fluctuated throughout the light period from 500 to 10 μE · m?2 · s?1 at rates of either 1 or 12 cycles · day?1. Total daily light was equivalent for all light regimes at 5.6 E · m?2 · day?1.Daily rates of growth remained comparable at ≈ 1 · day?1 under constant and fluctuating light regimes. Cell size as daily mean carbon · cell?1, nitrogen · cell?1 and cellular volume was decreased under diurnally varying light whereas daily mean chlorophyll a · cell?1 was unaffected.Rates of respiration, organic release and gross production were elevated several fold under diurnally varying light in comparison to constant light. Net growth efficiency decreased from 0.69 under constant light to values of 0.50 and 0.38 under 1 and 12 cycles · day?1, respectively. Decreased efficiency of growth under diurnally fluctuating light resulted mostly from greater respiratory activity while organic release remained < 10% of gross production. Increased rates of gross production reflected enhancement in the efficiency of carbon fixation with fluctuating light. 相似文献

1. The release of total phosphorus (TP) and nitrogen (N in ammonium) was measured for the five most abundant fish species (>85% of biomass) in Mouse and Ranger Lakes, two biomanipulated, oligotrophic lakes in Ontario. 2. The specific release rate of both nutrients was significantly related to fish mass; log10 TP release rate (μg h?1) = 0.793 (±0.109) [log10 wet mass (g)] + 0.7817 (±0.145), and log10 N release rate (μg h?1) = 0.6946 (±0.079) [log10wet mass (g)] + 1.7481 (±0.108). 3. When fish nutrient release was standardized for abundance (all populations, 1993–95) and epilimnetic volume, fish were estimated to contribute 0.083 (±0.061) μg TP L?1 day?1, and 0.41 (±0.17) μg N L?1 day?1 in Mouse L., and 0.062 (±0.020) μg TP L?1 day?1 and 0.31 (±0.08) μg N L?1 day?1 in Ranger L. 4. In comparison, concurrent rates of total planktonic P regeneration were 1.02 (±0.45) μg L?1 day?1 (Mouse L.) and 0.85 (±0.19) μg L?1 day?1 (Ranger L.). Fish represented 8% of planktonic P release in Mouse L. and 7% in Ranger L. 5. Fish dry mass had mean elemental body compositions of 39.3% carbon, 10.9% nitrogen, and 4.0% phosphorus (all fish combined), with a mean molar C : N : P ratio of 27 : 6 : 1. This comprised about 55% and 23% of the total epilimnetic particulate P and N respectively. 6. Turnover times of P and N in fish were approximately 103 and 48 days respectively. In comparison, planktonic turnover times of particulate P in Mouse and Ranger Lakes were 4.3 and 4.4 days respectively. Given their high P content and low turnover rates, fish appear to be important P sinks in lakes. 相似文献

Knowledge on the relative effects of biological activity and precipitation/dissolution of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in influencing the air-ice CO2 exchange in sea-ice-covered season is currently lacking. Furthermore, the spatial and temporal occurrence of CaCO3 and other biogeochemical parameters in sea ice are still not well described. Here we investigated autotrophic and heterotrophic activity as well as the precipitation/dissolution of CaCO3 in subarctic sea ice in South West Greenland. Integrated over the entire ice season (71 days), the sea ice was net autotrophic with a net carbon fixation of 56 mg C m?2, derived from a sea-ice-related gross primary production of 153 mg C m?2 and a bacterial carbon demand of 97 mg C m?2. Primary production contributed only marginally to the TCO2 depletion of the sea ice (7–25 %), which was mainly controlled by physical export by brine drainage and CaCO3 precipitation. The net biological production could only explain 4 % of this sea-ice-driven CO2 uptake. Abiotic processes contributed to an air-sea CO2 uptake of 1.5 mmol m?2 sea ice day?1, and dissolution of CaCO3 increased the air-sea CO2 uptake by 36 % compared to a theoretical estimate of melting CaCO3-free sea ice. There was a considerable spatial and temporal variability of CaCO3 and the other biogeochemical parameters measured (dissolved organic and inorganic nutrients). 相似文献

The reactions of ferrocytochrome c with Br?2, (SCN)?2, N3 and OH radicals were followed by measuring the change in the optical spectra of cytochrome c on γ-irradiation as well as the rate of change of absorbance upon pulse irradiation.Ferrocytochrome c is oxidized to ferricytochrome c by Br?2, (SCN)?2 or N3 radical with an efficiency of about 100% through a second-order process in which no intermediates were observed. The rate constants in neutral solutions at I = 0.073 are 9.7 · 108 M?1 · s?1, 7.9 · 108 M?1 · s?1, 1.3 · 109 M?1 · s?1 for the oxidation by Br?2, (SCN)?2 and N3 radicals, respectively. The rate constants do not vary appreciably in alkaline solutions (pH 8.9). The ionic strength dependence was observed for the rate constants of the oxidation by Br?2 and (SCN)?2. Those rate constants estimated on the assumption that the radicals react only with the amino acid residues with the characteristic steric correction factors were less than one-tenth of the observed ones. These results suggest that the partially exposed region of the heme is the probable site of electron transfer from ferrocytochrome c to the radical.Hydroxyl radicals also oxidize ferrocytochrome c with a high rate constant (k > 1 · 1010 M?1 · s?1), but with a very small efficiency (5%). 相似文献

This study provides the first measurements of the standard respiration rate (RS) and growth dynamics of European sardine Sardina pilchardus larvae reared in the laboratory. At 15° C, the relationship between RS (µl O2 individual?1 h?1) and larval dry mass (MD, µg) was equal to: RS = 0·0057(±0·0007, ± s.e.)·MD0·8835(±0·0268), (8–11% MD day?1). Interindividual differences in RS were not related to interindividual differences in growth rate or somatic (Fulton's condition factor) or biochemical‐based condition (RNA:DNA). 相似文献
