Light, temperature and nitrogen as interacting factors affecting diel vertical migrations of dinoflagellates in culture 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Diel vertical migrations of the marine dinoflagellates Gonyaulaxpolyedra Stein and Ceratium furca (Ehr.) Clap, et Lachm. werefollowed in a laboratory tube (2.02 m x 0.25 m) under a 12:12hlight:dark cycle. The effects of temperature stratification,two levels of surface irradiance and nitrogen depletion on patternsof vertical migrations were examined. At temperatures between2226°C with small temperature gradients, both speciesmigrated at a rate of 0.7 1.0 m h1. Steeper thermoclines(ca. 0.8°C 0.1 m1) with temperatures below ca. 20°Ccaused a marked decrease in swimming speed which resulted inaccumulations of cells in these thermocline regions. Under conditionsof nutrient sufficiency both algae migrated into the surfacelayers at irradiance values of over 1000 µE m2s1. Increasing nitrogen depletion caused the downwardmigration of both algae to commence progressively earlier inthe day and before the end of the light period. The earlierdownward migrations enabled a more complete descent throughthe thermocline. Nitrogen depleted cells of Gonyaulax continuedto undertake vertical migrations but avoided high irradiancesthus forming subsurface maxima at irradiance levels close to150 µE m2 s1. Ceratium cells which exhaustedboth inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus ceased to migrate accompaniedby a large change in cellular fluorescence. 相似文献

Potato production in the tropical lowlands during the rainyseason is constrained by high temperature and low irradiance.This study examined the effect of these two variables on drymatter production and allocation, using plant growth, leaf anatomy,gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements. Plantsof two clones, Solanum goniocalyx cv. Garhuash Huayro (GH) andDTO-33, a heat tolerant clone of S. tuberosum x S. phureja,were grown in growth chambers at 33/25 °C or 20/10 °Cday/night temperature. At each temperature, plants were grownin either 12 h high irradiance (430450 µmol m2s1 PAR) or 12 h low irradiance (250280 µmolm2 s1) both with a 6h photoperiod extensionof 6 µmol m2 s1. Plants were harvested after10 d (initial harvest) and after 20 d (final harvest). By theend of the study DTO-33 had produced more dry matter and hadtuberized, whereas GH had a greater leaf area ratio (LAR) andspecific leaf area (SLA). The highest relative growth rate (RGR)was at low temperature and low irradiance, possibly due to acombination of thin leaves with a large surface area. At thehigh temperature, low irradiance had the opposite effect, producingthe lowest net assimilation rate (NAR) and lowest RGR. Bothtuber number and weight were markedly reduced by high temperature.Low irradiance, in combination with high temperature, producedvirtually no tubers. Stomatal density, which was greater onGH than in DTO-33, was increased at high temperature. When measuredat 30 °C both clones, especially DTO-33, showed heat-adaptationin terms of ability to maintain a high rate of net photosynthesisat 30 °C. Plants grown at high irr-adiance and low temperaturehad the lowest net photosynthetic rate at 30 °C. Concurrentmeasurements of chlorophyll fluorescence indicated that onlythe initial (O) fluorescence parameter was affected. The dataconfirm the field observation that reduction in potato growthat high temperature can be aggravated by lower irradiance. Thisreduction is associated with a reduced leaf area and NAR.

Diurnal series of fluorescence and photosynthesis assays wereconducted in high altitude (3803 m), tropical (16°), LakeTiticaca (Peru/Bolivia). Near-surface diurnal thermoclines formedon typical days of high photon flux density (PFD, {small tilde}2000 µE m2 s1). In the depth range of diurnalstratification profiles of in vivo fluorescence, both without(Fa and with (Fb DCMU, exhibited a mean decrease of 64% frommorning to mid-day, but little change (mean increase of 1.5%)through the afternoon. Three times during the day surface, mid-depth(35 m) and deep (1520 m) phytoplankton sampleswere incubated with H14CO3 under short (<2 h) exposuresto a range of in situ PFDs. Comparison of phytoplankton in differentsamples (ANOVA) showed identical photosynthetic response insunrise (isothermal) samples but a significant drop in surfaceand mid-depth photosynthesis at all PFDs during times of diurnalstratification. Similarly, both low-light () and light-saturated(P2 max photosynthetic parameters were lower in mid-day surfacesamples compared to deep samples. In addition, previously photoinhibitedsamples had a higher threshold intensity for photoinhibition,IT. These results, together with diurnal time series of fluorescencefrom in situ incubations, demonstrate that recovery from extendedepisodes of photoinhibition during diurnal stratification isslower than suggested by previous observations in vitro. Photosynthesisby near-surface phytoplankton is different in light increasingup to IT than light decreasing from IT. This effect can be modeledby reducing and Pmax as a function of the maximum photoinhibitingPFD in the diurnal light history.

A comparative study was made of the inhibition of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphatecarboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) amongst six cultivars of Glycinemax L. Merr., associated with synthesis of 2-carboxyarabinitol1-phosphate (CA1P) during darkness. Significantly lower meanvalues of dark inhibition of Rubisco were observed in soybeancv. Davis than in cvs Bragg, Cobb, Hardee, Gordon, and Kirby.The CA1P synthesis/degradation cycle during dark/light transitionsremained operational in cv. Bragg plants grown at low irradiance(40 µmol photons m2 s1). However, CA1P synthesisand degradation rates were slower in the dark (t0.5 = 240 versus25 min), and light (t0.5 = 20 versus 3.8 min) respectively,as compared to plants grown at higher irradiance (550 µmolphotons m2 s1). In addition, the activation stateof Rubisco in low-light-grown plants showed only a small declineafter a transition to darkness. We conclude that (a) cultivar-dependentvariation occurs amongst soybeans with respect to CAlP regulationof Rubisco, and (b) soybeans acclimated to low irradiance maydepend more on CA1P synthesis/degradation to regulate Rubisco,and less on changes in the enzyme activation state.

Lipid and fatty acid content was determined in Isochrysis galbanacultures grown under various environmental conditions in steadystate continuous cultures. Lipid and fatty acid accumulationwas observed under severe nitrogen limiting conditions. Therate of in situ lipid synthesis, determined from 14C bicarbonateincorporation into lipid fraction, decreased under nitrogenlimited growth (µ<0.72day1), concomitant witha reduction in the in vitro activity of the enzyme acetyl CoAcarboxylase. Cellular lipid and fatty acid content remainedfairly constant over a wide range of irradiance levels. Therate of lipid synthesis, however, increased as irra-diance levelwas elevated to a maximal value at a light intensity of 150µmolquanta m2s1 and slightly decreased at a higherphoton flux. The in vitro activity of ACCase roughly followedthe same pattern of lipid synthesis in response to light intensity.The relative abundance of acetyl CoA carboxylase significantlydecreased in nitrogen limited cultures grown at low dilutionrates (µ<0.72day1). A fairly good linear correlationwas measured between the cellular content of ACCase and theenzyme activity in cultures grown under nitrogen limiting conditions.Furthermore, in nitrogen limited cultures, the cellular fattyacid content was linearly related to the cell capacity to producemalonyl CoA, the end product of ACCase and the building blockin fatty acid synthesis.

The photosynthetic responses of eight tree and shrub speciesto simulated sunflecks was measured in the field. The net carbonexchange (NCE) of Corylus avellana and Ulmus glabra increasedwith irradiance up to the maximum irradiance of 230 µmolm2 s1. The NCE of Fraxinux excelsior, Hedera helixand the sun and shade forms of Rhododendron ponticum saturatedat about 120 µmol m2 s1 whereas the NCEof Ilex aquifolium, Daphne laureola and Fagus sylvatica hadeffectively saturated at 27 µmol m2 s1. In all cases the quantum efficiency of NCE could be predictedfrom measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence and the maximumvalue for NCE from measurements of stomatal conductance. Therelationships were combined into a model for predicting NCE/irradiancecharacteristics.

Responses of CO2 assimilation to changes in irradiance: laboratory and field data and a model for beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The responses of net CO2 assimilation to sudden changes in irradiancewere studied in Phaseolus vulgaris L. in the laboratory andthe field. For irradiance changes between 50 µmol m2s1 to 350 µmol m2 s1 in the laboratory,assimilation rate increased with half-times of 2.7 and 4.1 minin well-watered and water-stressed plants, respectively. Ina field experiment with a change in irradiance from 400 to 1200µmol m2 s1 the response was faster (half-time=c.1.2 min). In all cases when irradiance was returned to a lowvalue, assimilation declined rapidly with a half-time of approximately1 min, which approached the time resolution of the gas-exchangesystem. The corresponding changes in stomatal conductance in responseto both increasing and decreasing irradiance were much slowerthan the assimilation responses, indicating that biochemicalprocesses, rather than CO2 supply, primarily determined theactual rate of assimilation in these experiments. The conceptof stomatal limitation to photosynthesis is discussed in relationto these results. A simple model for assimilation in a fluctuating light environmentis proposed that depends on a steadystate light response curve,an induction lag on increasing irradiance, andan induction-state memory. The likely importance of taking accountof such induction lags in natural canopy microclimates is considered.

In situ light measurements were used to obtain information oninherent and apparent optical properties. The average verticalattenuation coefficient Kd(ave) varied from 1.1 to 4.6 In unitsm1 During three periods the variation in Kd(ave) correlatedwith changes in chlorophyll a concentration and specific attenuationcoefficients Ks, of 0.013, 0.014 and 0.022 m2 mg Chl a1were calculated. Chlorophyll-specific diffuse absorption coefficients(A,) for these periods were 0.012. 0.013 and 0.017 m2 mg Chla1 and only varied significantly from estimates of Ksin the period when scattering was intense. Absorption coefficientsa(zmid) and scattering coefficients b(zmid) calculated for themid-point of the euphotic zone ranged between 0.45 and 2.9 mand 3.552.0 m respectively.

A study into the photophysiology, growth and migration of Ceratiumhirundinella in Chaffey Reservoir in subtropical northern NewSouth Wales, Australia, revealed that a proportion of cellsformed subsurface accumulations at depths that optimized lightintensity (212552 µmol photons m2 s1)for photosynthesis and cell growth. At high incident irradiance,Ceratium migrated downwards from the near-surface waters, avoidinghigh-light-induced, slow-recovering non-photochemical quenchingof photosystem II. Overnight deepening of the surface mixedlayer by convective cooling produced homogeneous distributionsof Ceratium with a significant proportion of the populationbelow the depth where light saturation of photosynthesis occurred.Ceratium migrated towards the surface from suboptimal lightintensities, at a velocity of 1.62.7 x 104 m s1.Subsurface accumulations occurred under a variety of turbulenceintensities; however, accumulation was significantly reducedwhen the turbulent velocity scale in the mixed layer was >5x 103 m s1, beyond which turbulent diffusion dominatedadvection by swimming. The formation of subsurface accumulationswith increased computed water column integral photosynthesisby 35% compared to a uniform cell distribution. 相似文献

The puhrinule of the terminal leaflet in the trifoliate leafof bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) responds to its continuous exposureto directional overhead light by increasing the elevation ofits attached lamina. Blue light drives this response, but theeffectiveness of unfiltered white light equalled, or exceededthe effectiveness of blue light at equivalent irradiances (200800µmol m2 s1). Adding red light to blue lightenhanced the initial rate of response, and increased its steady-state.These effects of red light increased with irradiance. Adding200800 µmol m2 s1 red light to 50µmol m2 s1 blue light was more effectivein enhancing the initial rate of response than adding blue lightat equivalent irradiances, whereas added blue light was moreeffective in increasing the steady-state. In continuous bluelight the initial (maximal) angular velocity of laminar reorientation,as well as the eventual steady-state of the response increasedlinearly with log PFD (up to 800 µmol m2s2).Laminar reorientation also took place in continuous red lightby itself, and the angular velocity of the response was initiallyhigh, then became considerably slower. The initial phase wasapparently independent of irradiance up to PFD 100 µmolm2 s1 but increased progressively with log PFDat higher irradiances. During the second phase, the rate increasedlinearly with irradiance, becoming saturated at PFD 200 µmolm2 s1.

For Gyrodinium aureolum significant irradiance and daylengtheffects were found on the division rate and on the growth-relevantChla-normalized photosynthetic rate (gPB). Optimum conditionsof irradiance and daylength were found at 230 µmol m2s1 and 14 h for the division rate, and at >260 µmolm2 s1 and <6 h for gPB.gPB showed no photoinhibition,while the division rate decreased markedly at irradiances abovesaturation. This difference and the difference in optimum irradiancebetween the division rate and gPB are explained by a decreasein cellular Chla/carbon ratio with increasing irradiance. Thecellular content of carbon and nitrogen decreased significantlywith increasing irradiance. Total phosphorus was independentof irradiance and daylength. Below the saturation irradiancefor gPB the daily Chla-normalized carbon yield may be describedas an exponential function of the daily irradiance (irradiancex daylength). 相似文献

The response of the germination of seeds of Barbarea vema (Mill.)Aschers, Brassica chinensis L., Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.& Coss., Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes L., Camelinasaliva (L.) Crantz, Eruca saliva Mill., Lepidium sativum L.,Nasturtium officinale R. Br., and Rorippa palustris (L.) Besserto white fluorescent light of different photon flux densitiesapplied for different daily durations in a diurnal alternatingtemperature regime of 20 °C/30 °C (16 h/8 h) was quantifiedby linear relations between probit percentage germination andthe logarithm of photon dose, the product of photon flux densityand duration. The low energy reaction, in which increasing dosepromotes germination, was detected in all the seed populationsbut in Barbarea vema and Brassica Juncea the lowest photon doseapplied (1052 and 105 7 mol m2 d1,respectively) was sufficient to saturate the response. Comparisons,where possible, between photoperiods demonstrated reciprocity,i.e. germination was proportional to photon dose irrespectiveof photoperiod, for the low energy reaction in Brassica oleracea(1 min d1 to 1 h d1), Camelina saliva (1 min d1to 8 h d1), Eruca saliva (1 min d1 to 24 h d1),Lepidium sativum (I min d1 to 8 h d1) and Rorippapalustris (1 min d1 to 8 h d1), but not in Brassicachinensis and Nasturtium officinale. The high irradiance reaction,in which increasing dose inhibits germination, was detectedin Barbarea vema, Brassica chinensis, Brassica juncea, Brassicaoleracea, and Camelina saliva. The minimum dose at which inhibitionwas detected was lO03 mol m2 d1.These results are discussed in the context of devising optimallight regimes for laboratory tests intended to maximize germination The response of germination to photon dose was also quantifiedwith 3 x 104 M GA2, co-applied (Brassica chinensis, Camelinasaliva, and Lepidium sativum) and with 2 x 102 M potassiumnitrate co-applied (Brassica chinensis). In the latter casepotassium nitrate had no effect in the dark and inhibited germinationin the light, but GA2, promoted germination substantially inall three species. Variation amongst seeds in the minimum photondose required to stimulate germination was not affected by co-applicationof GA2, in Brassica chinensis and Camelina saliva, whereas seedsof Lepidium salivum showed a narrower distribution of sensitivitiesto the low energy reaction in the presence of GA2 Barbarea vema (Mill.)

Feeding on natural plankton populations and respiration of thesmall cyclopoid copepod Oithona similis were measured duringthe warm season in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, USA. AlthoughO.similis did not significantly ingest small autotrophic andheterotrophic flagellates (28 µn), this copepodactively fed on >10 µm particles, including autotrophic/heterotrophic(dino)flagel-lates and ciliates, with clearance rates of 0.030.38ml animal1 h1. The clearance rates increased withthe prey size. O.similis also fed on copepod nauplii (mainlycomposed of the N1 stage of Acartia tonsa with a clearance rateof 0.16 ml animal1 h1. Daily carbon ration fromthe combination of these food items averaged 148 ng C animal1day1 (41% of body C day1), with ciliates and heterotrophicdino-flagellates being the main food source ({small tilde}69%of total carbon ration). Respiration rates were 0200.23µl O2 animal1 day1. Assuming a respiratoryquotient of 0.8 and digestion efficiency of 0.7, the carbonrequirement for respiration was calculated to be 125143ng C animal1 day1, close to the daily carbon rationestimated above. We conclude that predation on ciliates andheterotrophic dinoflagellates was important for O.similis tosustain its population in our study area during the warm season. 相似文献

Changes in the levels of 14C-labelled metabolites were monitoredin Chlorella pyrenoidosa cells during a transition from highto low irradiance, i.e., from 700 to 430 µmol quanta (400700nm) m2 s1. Chlorella cells assimilated 14CO2 photosynthetically(steady-state 14C-labelling) for 12 min at the high irradianceand then 10 min at the low irradiance. With the transition tolow light, the level of 14C-labelled ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate(RuBP) did not decrease, even though the rate of total 14C-incorporationdecreased by 80%. The data suggest that RuBP carboxylase deactivatesrapidly (within 1 or 2 min) on exposure to low light, causingRuBP pool sizes to be maintained (or even increased) in spiteof a decreased rate of RuBP regeneration. There was also evidenceof light modulation of other enzymes, including some enzymesinvolved in sucrose synthesis. The rate of sucrose synthesisdecreased with decrease in light intensity while the level ofuridine diphosphoglucose increased, but within a few minutes,both returned to their former levels.

Primary production data measured by in situ (IS) and simulatedin situ (SIS) incubations were compared. To minimize differencesbetween the two types of incubations, SIS experiments were conductedin temperature-controlled incubators in which the spectral distributionand irradiance were adjusted to approximate IS conditions. ISavailable irradiance (IIs) was computed from vertical attenuationof integrated surface irradiance. Vertical attenuation was estimatedusing a spectral irradiance model, validated by measured profilesof the vertical attenuation coefficient. IS incubations werecarried out using two methods. The first involved deploymentof bottles on a drifting array for whole-day (dawn to dusk)incubations. The second method employed an autonomous submersibleincubation device that performed short term (<1 h) incubationsat multiple depths. Differences between whole-day IS and SISincubation estimates were attributed partially to differencesbetween IIS and SIS-available irradiance (ISIS). Photosynthesis-irradiance(P-I) properties of IS and SIS populations from the whole-dayincubations were not significantly different. P-I propertiesof the short-term IS and SIS populations were significantlydifferent, although estimates of PB (mg C mg Chl1 h1)from contemporaneous IS and SIS incubations did not differ by>40%. Integrated water-column primary production (IPP) estimatedusing P-I models derived from SIS data were within 15% of ISestimates of IPP. 相似文献

Seeds of 19 native British herbaceous species (14 grasses andfive forbs) were exposed to white light at three photon fluencerates: high (192 mol m2 d1), medium (9·6mol m1 d1) and low (2·3 mol m2 d2) These photon doses have been found by previous workers to inhibitgermination in several species. High and low photon doses wereapplied only as continuous light, but the medium dose was appliedas both continuous light and as a 12 h light/12 h dark photoperiod.All four treatments, plus a dark control, were carried out at15 °C; the high and low doses were also applied with a dailyalternation of 10/20 °C. The majority of species (15) fell into one of two groups. Inseven species germination was relatively high and consistentacross all treatments, including darkness; in the other eightspp germination was inhibited only in darkness. Mostly thesedata confirmed published results for the same species In contrast in Agrostis capillaris and A. stolonifera germinationwas high only at alternating temperatures, irrespective of photondose, but was also slightly promoted by a constant temperaturecombined with light/dark alternations. Only in Bromus sterilisand B. ereclus was germination inhibited by light, in B. erectusat all photon doses and in B. sterilis only at the highest photondose These results suggest that inhibition of germination by highirradiance light is not widespread among native British species Aira caryophyllea, Arrenatherum elatius, Festuca ovina, F. rubra, Hordeum murinum, Milhim effusum, Silene dioica, Achillea millefolium, Brachypodium syhaticum, Digitalis purpurea, Holcus lanatus, Leucanlhemum vulgare, Phleum pratense, Poa trivialis, Taraxacum officinale, Agrostis capillaris, A. stolonifera, Bromus erectus, B. sterilis, seed, dormancy, germination, light, High irradiance reaction, alternating temperatures, photoperiod 相似文献

The kinetics of changes in photosystem I (PSI), photosystemII (PSII), and whole chain (PSII and PSI) electron transport,chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, the capacity to bind atrazineand the polypeptide profiles of thylakoids isolated from wheatleaves on exposure to a photon flux density of 2000 µmolm2 s1 were determined. Severe and similar levelsof photo-inhibitory damage to both PSII and whole chain electrontransport occurred and were correlated with decreases in theratio of variable to maximal fluorescence, the proportionalcontribution of the rapid a phase of the fluorescence kineticsand the capacity to bind atrazine. Severe photo-inhibition ofelectron transport was not associated with a major loss of chlorophyllor total thylakoid protein. However, a small decrease in a 70kDa polypeptide together with increases in a number of low molecularmass polypeptides (824 kDa) occurred. Phosphorylation of thylakoid polypeptides alleviated photo-inhibitionof PSII electron transport but stimulated photoinhibitory damageto whole chain electron transport. The consequences of suchphosphorylation-induced effects on photoinhibition in vivo areconsidered.

A comparison of photosynthesis-irradiance response curves (PEresponse curves) obtained through fast repetition rate (FRR)fluorometry and radiocarbon (14C) tracer method was made inthe chlorophyte, Dunaliella tertiolecta, grown under differentirradiance conditions. In FRR-based PE response curveexperiments, actinic light provided by white light-emittingdiodes (LEDs) was increased gradually from 0 to 1500 µmolquanta m2 s1 and the rate of photosyntheticelectron transport was determined at each light level. Short-termexperiments (20 min) of 14C-based PE response curvewere carried out with an improved photosynthetron, which containswhite LEDs as the light source. Irrespective of growth irradiance,the ratios of FRR to 14C-based initial slopes were almost uniform.The ratios of FRR- to 14C-based maximum rates were 2536%higher than those of FRR- to 14C-based initial slopes. The relationshipbetween electron transport and carbon assimilation was non-linearwith increasing discrepancy towards high actinic light. Thisnon-linear relationship between FRR- and 14C-based estimatesis primarily due to the effect of physiological processes stimulatedat high levels of light, such as cyclic electron flow and theMehler reaction. The results of this study indicate that theFRR fluorometry can be used as a good indicator of photosyntheticrates from low to middle light levels, but becomes increasinglyquestionable as the maximum photosynthetic rate is approached.The degree to which this relationship is further affected bynutrient-status warrants investigation. 相似文献

The dependence of photosynthetic capacity on imported and locally-assimilatedsupplies of carbon during leaf development under different irradianceswas investigated in Glycine max. The potential export of carbonto the developing, mainstem trifoliate leaf (source-potential)was restricted non-destructively by shading all lower, sourceleaves (source-shading), while local photosynthesis was modifiedconcurrently by exposing the young leaf to different light levelsduring development. When source-shading was applied below the2nd mainstem trifoliate leaf at the bud stage of development,photosynthetic capacity was unaffected in leaves which had developedunder moderate and low irradiances (500 and 250 µmol PARm 2 s1 respectively), but was reduced significantlyin leaves developed under a high irradiance (900 µmolPAR m 2 s1). If source-shading was applied beneaththe 2nd leaf at unfolding, the reduction of photosynthetic capacityunder the high irradiance was relatively minor. The photosyntheticcapacity attained by the 2nd leaf during development under differentirradiances was influenced by the previous light environmentof the whole plant. In contrast to the 2nd leaf, the photosyntheticcapacities of the 1st and 4th mainstem leaves were relativelyunaffected by source-shading, even under the highest light regime.While photosynthetic capacity showed a widespread insensitivityto the light level of the lower region of the canopy, source-shadingreduced final leaf size irrespective of node position or localirradiance during leaf development. These effects were not relatedto differences in daily photosynthesis by the expanding leaf,and are discussed in terms of the source/sink balance of thedeveloping leaf.

On the causes of interspecific differences in the growth-irradiance relationship for phytoplankton. II. A general review 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The causes of interspecific differences in the µ-l relationshipare examined in the context of a mechanistic model which relatesµ to irradiance in terms of six factors:, kc photosyntheticquotient (PQ), Chl a:C, respiration and excretion. The effectof cell size on the light saturated growth rate is also considered.It is shown that photosynthetic efficiency and PQ exhibit remarkablylittle interspecific variability, and average 0.024 ±0.005 µg C(µg Chl a)1 h1 (µEm2 s1)1 and 1.5 ± 0.2 mol 02 molC1 (when NO3 is the nitrogen source) respectively.Two useful relationships were derived: (i) between growth efficiency,g and Chl a:C at µ. = 0; (ii) between the compensationintensity, Ic and the Chl a-specific maintenance respirationrate. Both relationships were independent of temperature anddaylength. Species best adapted to growth at low light werefound to exhibit high Chl a:C ratios and low maintenance respirationrates. As a group, diatoms were consistently the best adaptedfor growth at low irradiance. Chiorophytes, haptophytes, chrysophytesand cryptophytes were intermediate in their performance at lowirradiance. Dinoflagellates exhibited extreme diversity, withspecies spanning the spectrum from very good performance atlow irradiance to very poor. A new µmax-cell carbon relationshipis given based on growth rates normalized to 15°C. Evidenceis presented to show that noise in this relationship can besignificantly reduced by using only carbon-specific growth ratesand using only data for species grown at the same daylength. 相似文献
