Does soil nitrogen influence growth,water transport and survival of snow gum (Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieber ex Sprengel.) under CO2 enrichment?

Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieber ex Sprengel. (snow gum) was grown under ambient (370  µ L L⁻¹) and elevated (700  µ L L⁻¹) atmospheric [CO₂] in open-top chambers (OTCs) in the field and temperature-controlled glasshouses. Nitrogen applications to the soil ranged from 0.1 to 2.75 g N per plant. Trees in the field at high N levels grew rapidly during summer, particularly in CO₂-enriched atmosphere, but suffered high mortality during summer heatwaves. Generally, wider and more numerous secondary xylem vessels at the root–shoot junction in CO₂-enriched trees conferred fourfold higher below-ground hydraulic conductance. Enhanced hydraulic capacity was typical of plants at elevated [CO₂] (in which root and shoot growth was accelerated), but did not result from high N supply. However, because high rates of N application consistently made trees prone to dehydration during heatwaves, glasshouse studies were required to identify the effect of N nutrition on root development and hydraulics. While the effects of elevated [CO₂] were again predominantly on hydraulic conductivity, N nutrition acted specifically by constraining deep root penetration into soil. Specifically, 15–40% shallower root systems supported marginally larger shoot canopies. Independent changes to hydraulics and root penetration have implications for survival of fertilized trees under elevated atmospheric [CO₂], particularly during water stress.     

Induction of Ascorbate Peroxidase and Glutathione Reductase Activities by Interactions of Mixtures of Air Pollutants

The response of ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities in peas (Pisum sativum var. Waverex) was investigated after three weeks of exposure to mixed fumigations with S0₂, NO, and O, (0.050 parts per million each) and increasing concentrations of O, (0-0.150 parts per million). The results show that plants respond similarly to a high concentration (0.150 parts per million) of a single air pollutant (ozone) and to mixtures of air pollutants (S0₂, NO: and O,) when individual concentrations are low (0.050 parts per million each). In both cases, levels of ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase activites were approximately twice those to be found in plants grown in charcoal-filtered air (p 0.01).     

CO2 and intracellular pH

Abstract The experimental determination of cytoplasmic and vacuolar pH values is discussed. Despite variation in these values evidence indicates that intracellular pH values are normally regulated within narrow limits. The regulatory mechanisms proposed involve the metabolic consumption of OH^& and the active efflux of H ⁺. The evidence for intracellular pH modification in response to CO₂ hydration and the production of HCO^?₃ and H⁺ is examined. Theoretical calculations and experimental data indicate that CO₂ concentrations as high as 5% will lower intracellular pH. Conversely, variation in CO₂ levels around atmospheric concentrations is unlikely to perturb intracellular pH. High CO₂ levels are found in bulky tissues, and flooded root systems. Evidence is presented that the slow diffusion of dissolved CO₂ compared to gaseous CO₂ results in its accumulation. It is proposed that the accumulation of respiratory CO₂ may reduce intracellular pH values when plant tissues, cells or protoplasts are maintained in a liquid culture medium. Finally, the possible role of dark CO₂ fixation and organic acid synthesis in the regulation of intracellular pH is examined.     

Platelet activating factor (PAF) production by mouse embryos in vitro and its effect on embryonic metabolism

Factors affecting the production of platelet activating factor (PAF) by mouse embryos during culture in vitro were investigated. Detectable levels of embryo-derived PAF were produced within 1-4 hr with maximum PAF activity being observed after 6 hr of culture in vitro. The amount of PAF detected in media after 24 hr of culture of two-cell embryos was equivalent to 12.8 ng PAF/embryo. However, differences in activity were apparent with increased time in culture. Reduced synthesis of PAF during culture in vitro was supported by the observation that morulae stage embryos collected fresh from the reproductive tract displayed more PAF activity than morulae resulting from the 48 hr culture of two-cell embryos. In addition to determining production characteristics of PAF by embryos, we also show that the production of CO2 from carbon-1 position of lactate is positively correlated with the ability of embryos to develop during subsequent culture in vitro and therefore could be used as a measure of embryo viability. Furthermore, culture of embryos in media supplemented with PAF resulted in an increase in lactate utilization demonstrating a direct effect of PAF on the embryo. As PAF is produced by preimplantation embryos, an autocoid role of PAF in regulating embryo development is implicated. Therefore, the reduced production of PAF by embryos in vitro may explain the decreased viability of embryos commonly observed following their culture in vitro.

The aerobic metabolism of 14C-sugars and 14CO2 by the daughter sporocysts of Microphallus similis (JÄG) and Macrophallus pygmaeus (Levinsen) (Digenea: Microphallidae)

The sporocysts of Microphallus similis and M. pygmaeus can aerobically utilise radiosugars and ¹⁴ CO₂in vitro. Both have an EMP pathway, TCA cycle, pentose-phosphate shunt, are able to undergo transamination reactions and can synthesise some essential amino acids. Carbon dioxide fixation involves the carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to form oxaloacetate.     

CO2 levels in the Late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic atmosphere from soil carbonate and organic matter, Satpura basin, Central India

A number of calcic palaeosols have been identified within the fluvial deposits of the Motur (Permian), the Denwa (Triassic), the Bagra (Jurassic) and the Lameta (Cretaceous) Formations of the Satpura sedimentary succession, Central India. These palaeosols show accumulation of pedogenic carbonates in rhizocretions and glaebules. The carbon isotopic compositions of these carbonates and the coexisting soil organic matters are used to determine the isotopic composition and the partial pressure of atmospheric CO₂ using the CO₂ palaeobarometer developed by Cerling [Am. J. Sci., 291 (1991) 377]. It is seen that the atmospheric CO₂ level increased by a factor of 8 from the Permian to the Jurassic and declined again during the Cretaceous. The nature of the changes agrees with the result of the CO₂ evolution model of Berner (GEOCARB II) but the magnitude of the CO₂ increase in the Middle Jurassic and the Late Cretaceous was higher than the predicted value. Degassing of Earth's interior due to rapid break-up of the Gondwana landmass during the Triassic and Jurassic period could have caused the rapid CO₂ increase.     

Activity and stability of immobilised soybean lipoxygenase-1 in aqueous and supercritical carbon dioxide media

The activity of immobilised soybean lipoxygenase-1 (LOX-1) was studied in aqueous and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO₂) media for the production of 13S-hydroperoxyoctadecadenoic acid (13S-HPODE). In SCCO₂, it was optimal at 33 °C and 25 MPa. A higher space-time yield of 5.7×10^–3 Ms^–1 mg^–1 LOX-1 for 13S-HPODE was obtained in SCCO₂ compared to only 5×10^–5 Ms^–1 mg^–1 LOX-1 in aqueous medium. The stability of immobilised LOX-1 was only significantly affected by the pressurisation and depressurisation steps during reactions in SCCO₂.

Role of nitrate and nitrite for production and consumption of nitric oxide during denitrification in soil

Abstract Anaerobic production and consumption of NO was measured in a calcic cambisol (KBE; pH 7.3) and a forest luvisol (PBE; pH 4.4) which were incubated at 80% water-holding capacity and continuously flushed with N₂. Both NO production and NO consumption were negligibly low when nitrate and nitrite concentrations in the soil were exhausted. Addition of glucose alone had no effect, but addition of nitrate ± glucose greatly stimulated both NO production and NO consumption. NO consumption followed an apparent first-order reaction at low NO mixing ratios (1–3 ppmv), but a higher NO mixing ratios it followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. In PBE the apparent K _m was 980 ppbv NO (1.92 nM in soil water). During reduction of nitrate, nitrite intermediately accumulated and simultaneously, production rates of NO and N₂O were at the maximum. Production rates of NO plus N₂O amounted to 20% and 34% of the nitrate reduction rate in KBE and PBE, respectively. NO production was hyperbolically related to the nitrite concentration, indicating an apparent K_m of 1.6 μg nitrite-N g⁻¹ d.w. soil (equivalent to 172 μM nitrite in soil solution) for the reduction of nitrite to NO in KBE. Under nitrate and nitrite-limiting conditions, 62–76% and 93–97% of the consumed NO-N were recovered as N₂O-N in KBE and PBE, respectively. Gassing of nitrate plus nitrite-depretsu KBE with increasing mixing ratios of NO₂ resulted in increasing rates of NO₂ uptake and presumably in the formation of low concentrations of nitrite and nitrate. This NO₂ uptake resulted in increasing rates of both NO production and NO consumption indicating that nitrite or nitrate was limiting for both reactions.

Effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the bioleaching of a pyrite-arsenopyrite ore concentrate

The effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the bacterial leaching of a pyrite-arsenopyrite ore concentrate was studied in continuous-flow reactors. Steady-state operation with two feed slurry densities, 6 wt% and 16 wt% solids, were tested for the effect of carbon dioxide concentration. Bacterial growth rates were estimated via the measurement of carbon dioxide consumption rates. Aqueous-phase carbon dioxide concentrations in excess of 10 mg/L were found to be inhibitory to bacterial growth. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Physiological and Biochemical Characteristics of Sugar Beet Plants Grown at an Increased Carbon Dioxide Concentration and at Various Nitrate Doses

Three-week-old sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) seedlings were grown for an additional four weeks under controlled conditions: in river sand watered with a modified Knop mixture containing one half-fold (0.5N), standard (1N), and or threefold (3N) nitrate amount, at the irradiance of 90 W/m² PAR, and at the carbon dioxide concentrations of 0.035% (1C treatment) or 0.07% (2C treatment). The increase in the carbon dioxide concentration and in the nitrogen dose resulted in an increase in the leaf area and the leaf and root dry weight per plant. With the increase in the nitrogen dose, morphological indices characterizing leaf growth increased more noticeably in 1C plants than in 2C plants. And vice versa, the effects of increased CO₂ concentration were reduced with the increase in the nitrogen dose. Roots responded to the changes in the CO₂ and nitrate concentrations otherwise than leaves. At a standard nitrate dose (1N), the contents of proteins and nonstructural carbohydrates (sucrose and starch) in leaves depended little on the CO₂ concentration. At a double CO₂ concentration, the content of chlorophyll somewhat decreased, and the net photosynthesis rate (P _n) calculated per leaf area unit increased. An increase in the nitrogen dose did not affect the leaf carbohydrate content of the 1C and 2C plants except the leaves of the 2C-3N plants, where the carbohydrate content decreased. In 1C and 2C plants, an increase in the nitrogen dose caused an increase in the protein and chlorophyll content. Specific P _n values somewhat decreased in 1C-0.5N plants and had hardly any dependence on the nitrate dose in the 2C plants. The carbohydrate content in roots did not depend on the CO₂ concentration, and the content was the highest at 0.5N. Characteristic nitrogen dose-independent acclimation of photosynthesis to an increased carbon dioxide concentration, which was postulated previously [1], was not observed in our experiments with sugar beet grown at doubled carbon dioxide concentration.     

Growth, CO2 consumption and H2 production of Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413-U under different irradiances and CO2 concentrations

Aims:  The objective of this study is to develop kinetic models based on batch experiments describing the growth, CO₂ consumption, and H₂ production of Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413-U^TM as functions of irradiance and CO₂ concentration.
Methods and Results:  A parametric experimental study is performed for irradiances from 1120 to 16100 lux and for initial CO₂ mole fractions from 0·03 to 0·20 in argon at pH 7·0 ± 0·4 with nitrate in the medium. Kinetic models are successfully developed based on the Monod model and on a novel scaling analysis employing the CO₂ consumption half-time as the time scale.
Conclusions:  Monod models predict the growth, CO₂ consumption and O₂ production within 30%. Moreover, the CO₂ consumption half-time is an appropriate time scale for analysing all experimental data. In addition, the optimum initial CO₂ mole fraction is 0·05 for maximum growth and CO₂ consumption rates. Finally, the saturation irradiance is determined to be 5170 lux for CO₂ consumption and growth whereas, the maximum H₂ production rate occurs around 10 000 lux.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  The study presents kinetic models predicting the growth, CO₂ consumption and H₂ production of A. variabilis . The experimental and scaling analysis methods can be generalized to other micro-organisms.
