Spruce ( Picea Abies L.) trees from the same clone were supplied with different, but low, amounts of plant available sulfate in the soil (9.7-18.1 milligrams per 100 grams of soil). Branches attached to the trees were enclosed in a dynamic gas exchange cuvette and analyzed for the emission of volatile sulfur compounds. Independent of the sulfate supply in the soil, H 2S was the predominant reduced sulfur compound continuously emitted from the branches with high rates during the day and low rates in the night. In the light, as well as in the dark, the rates of H 2S emission increased exponentially with increasing water vapor flux from the needles. Approximately 1 nanomole of H 2S was found to be emitted per mole of water. When stomata were closed completely, only minute emission of H 2S was observed. Apparently, H 2S emission from the needles is highly dependent on stromatal aperture, and permeation through the cuticle is negligible. In several experiments, small amounts of dimethylsulfide and carbonylsulfide were also detected in a portion of the samples. However, SO 2 was the only sulfur compound consistently emitted from branches of spruce trees in addition to H 2S. Emission of SO 2 mainly proceeded via an outburst starting before the beginning of the light period. The total amount of SO 2 emitted from the needles during this outburst was correlated with the plant available sulfate in the soil. The diurnal changes in sulfur metabolism that may result in an outburst of SO 2 are discussed. 相似文献

Sulfur dynamics of two Spodosols were ascertained using soil columns constructed from homogenized mineral soil from nothern hardwood ecosystems at the Huntington Forest (HF) in the Adirondack Mountains of New York and Bear Brook Watershed in Maine (BBWM). Columns were leached for 20 weeks with a simulated throughfall solution with 35SO 4
2-. Sulfur constituents were similar to those of other Spodosols, with the organic S fractions (C-bonded S and ester sulfate) constituting over 90% of total S. HF soil columns had higher total S (14.9 mol S g -1) than that for the BBWM soil columns (7.4 mol g -1) primarily due to higher C-bonded S in the former.Initially, adsorbed SO 4
- accounted for 5 and 4% of total S for the BBWM and HF soil columns, respectively. After 20 weeks, adsorbed SO 4
2- decreased (81%) in BBWM and increased (33%) in HF soil columns. For both HF and BBWM soil columns, C-bonded S increased and ester sulfate decreased, but only for HF columns was there a net mineralization of organic S (5.6% of total S). The greatest decrease in ester sulfate occurred at the top of the columns.Leaching of 35S was less than 0.5% of the 35S added due to its retention in various S constituents. There was an exponential decrease in 35S with column depth and most of the radioisotope was found in C-bonded S (70–88 and 70–91% for BBWM and HF, respectively). The rapid turnover of adsorbed SO 2-
4 was reflected in its high specific activity (834 and 26 kBq mol -1 S for BBWM and HF, respectively). The lower specific activity of adsorbed SO 4
2- in HF was attributable to greater isotopic dilution by non-radioactive SO 2-
4 derived from greater organic S mineralization in the HF versus the BBWM columns.Both soil columns initially had high levels of NO -
3 which resulted in the generation of H + and net retention of SO 4
2- in the early phase of the experiment due to pH dependent sulfate adsorption; later NO 3
- decreased and SO 4
2- was desorbed. Leaching of NIO 3
- and SO 4
2- was correlated with losses of Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ of which the latter was the dominant cation.Analyses using both S mass balances and radioisotopes corroborate that for BBWM soil columns, SO 2-
4 adsorption-desorption dominated the S biogeochemistry while in HF soil columns, organic S mineralization-immobilization processes were more important. It is suggested that similar techniques can be applied to soils in the field to ascertain the relative importances of SO 4
2- adsorption processes and organic S dynamics. 相似文献

The effects of K fertiliser (160 kg ha -1) applied with Cl - or SO 4
2- as the accompanying anion on the K nutrition of kiwifruit ( Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa) were assessed in a field experiment, using vines with varying degrees of K deficiency. Leaf K concentrations in spring were significantly higher for vines receiving KCl, compared to those receiving K 2SO 4. This effect did not interact significantly with the degree of K deficiency, and persisted for about 6 weeks. Subsequently there was no significant difference between the leaf K concentrations for the vines receiving KCl or K 2SO 4. Applying K as KCl increased the leaf Cl concentration, especially in spring, while applying K as K 2SO 4 had no significant effect on the leaf S concentration at that time. These results implied a greater requirement for organic acid anions for K + uptake from K 2SO 4 than from KCl, and the importance of organic acid anions for K + uptake from different sources of K fertiliser is discussed. This transient effect of the accompanying anion on leaf K status was associated with large effects on flowering, and fruit yields were about 28% higher for plants receiving KCl rather than K 2SO 4.The effects on growth and tissue nutrient composition of varying the concentrations of Cl -, NO 3
-, SO 4
2- and H 2PO 4
- around the roots of kiwifruit vines were examined in a solution culture experiment. For H 2PO 4
-, plant growth was very similar over a wide range of rates of addition. For the other anions, the range between deficiency and toxicity was clearly delineated. For Cl - and NO 3
-, toxicity was associated with high tissue concentrations of Cl and N, respectively, and was consistent with competition for uptake between Cl - and NO 3
-. However, for SO 4
2-, toxicity was associated with only a small increase in the tissue S concentration relative to that associated with maximum growth, and appeared to result more from effects on uptake of other anions and cations rather than from direct effects of high tissue S concentrations.It is concluded that the sensitivity of kiwifruit to the anion accompanying K + in fertiliser may be related to the unusually high requirement for Cl previously reported for this species. 相似文献

Abstract. Leaching of inorganic cations (K +, Mg 2+) and in some cases of inorganic anions and sugars from detached twigs and single needles of spruce Picea abies L. Karst.) in the presence of acid rain (H 2SO 4, 1 mol m ?3) or salt solutions (Na 2 SO 4, 1 mol m ?3) was examined under laboratory conditions. Cation leaching (as percentage of the total water soluble ion content of the tissue per hour) was: K +: 0.01-0.02%; Mg 2+: 0.005-0.01%; Ca 2+: 0.1-0.2%. Leaching rates of anions were even lower than that and concentrations in the leachate were often below the detection limit of anion chromatography. Spraying with H 2SO 4 (pH 2.95, 1 mol m ?3) increased leaching only transiently. Similar effects were found when Na 2SO 4 was used instead of H 2SO 4. The transiently enhanced leaching was apparently due to H +/cation or cation/cation exchange at the twig or leaf surfaces. Feeding of K + or Al 3+ through the stems increased leaching of all cations within a few hours, again demonstrating rapid ion exchange in the apoplast. Leaching of potassium and magnesium from single needles occurred at similar relative rates as from twigs. Loss of Ca 2+ ions, however, was even smaller from needles than from twigs. Apparently, a large part of the Ca 2+ lost from twigs originated from the bark and not from the needles. Efflux of ions from longitudinal needle sections was about 1000 times taster than the rates obtained with intact needles, indicating that the cuticle was the main barrier Preventing solute loss. In relation to the total amount of mineral nutrients in trees, leaching is considered to be too small to be the primary cause of damage to trees stressed by acid rain, as has been suggested in the literature. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential role of hydrogen sulphide (H 2S) and ATP-sensitive potassium (K ATP) channels in chronic stress-induced colonic hypermotility. MethodsMale Wistar rats were submitted daily to 1 h of water avoidance stress (WAS) or sham WAS (SWAS) for 10 consecutive days. Organ bath recordings, H 2S production, immunohistochemistry and western blotting were performed on rat colonic samples to investigate the role of endogenous H 2S in repeated WAS-induced hypermotility. Organ bath recordings and western blotting were used to detect the role of K ATP channels in repeated WAS. ResultsRepeated WAS increased the number of fecal pellets per hour and the area under the curve of the spontaneous contractions of colonic strips, and decreased the endogenous production of H 2S and the expression of H 2S-producing enzymes in the colon devoid of mucosa and submucosa. Inhibitors of H 2S-producing enzymes increased the contractile activity of colonic strips in the SWAS rats. NaHS concentration-dependently inhibited the spontaneous contractions of the strips and the NaHS IC 50 for the WAS rats was significantly lower than that for the SWAS rats. The inhibitory effect of NaHS was significantly reduced by glybenclamide. Repeated WAS treatment resulted in up-regulation of Kir6.1 and SUR2B of K ATP channels in the colon devoid of mucosa and submucosa. ConclusionThe colonic hypermotility induced by repeated WAS may be associated with the decreased production of endogenous H 2S. The increased expression of the subunits of K ATP channels in colonic smooth muscle cells may be a defensive response to repeated WAS. H 2S donor may have potential clinical utility in treating chronic stress- induced colonic hypermotility. 相似文献

Summary The 34S value of SO 2 emitted by natural gas refineries is about +25, which is higher than that for non-industrial sulfur sources in our study areas. Terrestrial mosses absorb SO 2 from the atmosphere and have a 34S value which is directly related to the degree of SO 2 stress to which they are subjected. The 34S values for conifer needles are lower than for mosses at the same collection site, which indicates that trees obtain sulfur from both atmospheric and soil sources.Potted conifers were transferred to sites differing in their degree of SO 2 stress. This difference is reflected by the change of 34S values of their needles. SO 2 absorbant pot covers, such as charcoal and moss, reduce the amount of airborne sulfur which is available to tress. Moss also may reduce SO 2 absorbed by soils in forest stands. We have used analysis of 34S values to (1) help define SO 2 dispersion patterns; (2) reveal the rates at which plants accumulate this pollutant; and (3) associate suspected SO 2 injury more closely to an emission source. 相似文献

Sulfate microbial immobilization and the mineralization of organic S were measured in vitro in soil horizons (LFH, Ae, Bhf, Bf and C) of the Lake Laflamme watershed (47°17 N, 71°14 O) using 35SO 4. LFH samples immobilized from 23 to 77% of the added 35SO 4 within 2 to 11 days. The 35SO 4 microbial immobilization increased with temperature and reached an asymptote after a few days. The mineral soil generally immobilized less than 20% of the added 35SO 4, and an asymptote was reached after 2 days. An isotopic equilibrium was rapidly reached in mineral horizons. A two-compartment (SO 4 and organic S) model adequately described 35SO 4 microbial immobilization kinetics. The active organic reservoir in the whole soil profile represented less than 1% of the total organic S. The average concentrations of dissolved organic S (DOS) in the soil solutions leaving the LFH, Bhf and Bf horizons were respectively 334, 282 and 143 µgL –1. Assuming that the DOS decrease with soil depth corresponded to the quantities adsorbed in the B horizons, we estimated that 12 800 kgha –1 of organic S could have been formed since the last glaciation, which is about 13 times the size of the actual B horizons reservoirs. Our results suggest that the organic S reservoirs present in mineral forest soils are mostly formed by the DOS adsorption resulting from incomplete litter decomposition in the humus layer. The capability of these horizons to immobilize SO 4 from the soil solution would be restricted to a 1% active fraction composed of microorganisms. Despite their refractory nature, these reservoirs can, however, be slowly decomposed by microorganisms and contribute to the S-SO 4 export from the watershed in the long term. 相似文献

Leaf discs and detached leaves exposed to l-cysteine emitted a volatile sulfur compound which was proven by gas chromatography to be H 2S. This phenomenon was demonstrated in all nine species tested ( Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita pepo, Nicotiana tabacum, Coleus blumei, Beta vulgaris, Phaseolus vulgaris, Medicago sativa, Hordeum vulgare, and Gossypium hirsutum). The emission of volatile sulfur by cucumber leaves occurred in the dark at a similar rate to that in the light. The emission of leaf discs reached the maximal rate, more than 40 picomoles per minute per square centimeter, 2 to 4 hours after starting exposure to l-cysteine; then it decreased. In the case of detached leaves, the maximum occurred 5 to 10 h after starting exposure. The average emission rate of H 2S during the first 4 hours from leaf discs of cucurbits in response to 10 millimolar l-cysteine, was usually more than 40 picomoles per minute per square centimeter, i.e. 0.24 micromoles per hour per square decimeter. Leaf discs exposed to 1 millimolar l-cysteine emitted only 2% as much as did the discs exposed to 10 millimolar l-cysteine. The emission from leaf discs and from detached leaves lasted for at least 5 and 15 hours, respectively. However, several hours after the maximal emission, injury of the leaves, manifested as chlorosis, was evident. H 2S emission was a specific consequence of exposure to l-cysteine; neither d-cysteine nor l-cystine elicited H 2S emission. Aminooxyacetic acid, an inhibitor of pyridoxal phosphate dependent enzymes, inhibited the emission. In a cell free system from cucumber leaves, H 2S formation and its release occurred in response to l-cysteine. Feeding experiments with [ 35S] l-cysteine showed that most of the sulfur in H 2S was derived from sulfur in the l-cysteine supplied and that the H 2S emitted for 9 hours accounted for 7 to 10% of l-cysteine taken up. 35S-labeled SO 32− and SO 42− were found in the tissue extract in addition to internal soluble S 2−. These findings suggest the existence of a sulfur cycle which converts l-cysteine to SO 42− through cysteine desulfhydration. 相似文献

A five year study was conducted in a 100–120 year old even-aged sugar maple stand in southern Quebec (46°07N 73° 56W; 305 m altitude) to explore the effect of different fertilization formulations aimed at 1) correcting the most common nutrient deficiencies observed in declining maple stands (K and Mg), 2) decreasing soil acidity, and 3) simulating enrichment with atmospheric N. Seven fertilizer mixtures were applied in the spring of 1987: 400 kg ha -1 of K 2SO 4, CaCO 3, CaMg(CO 3) 2, (NH 4) 2SO 4, complete fertilizer (Maplegro) and 800 kg ha -1 of an equal mixture of K 2SO 4+CaCO 3 or K 2SO 4+CaMg(CO 3) 2. The site was divided into twenty-four 25×25 m plots and treatments including control were replicated three times. Leaves and soils (organic and mineral) were sampled in 1987, 1988 and 1991. Trees were cored at 1.2 m to measure their response in diameter growth. The application of K 2SO 4+CaMg(CO 3) 2 was the only treatment that significantly increased (+13%) the average growth rate over the five year period after fertilization. The application of (NH 4) 2SO 4, Maplegro, CaMg(CO 3) 2 and K 2SO 4 reduced growth relative to the control for the five year period by 29, 24, 20 and 12 %, respectively. Positive and negative effects on growth can be explained mainly in terms of changes in leaf K. Both the application of Maplegro and (NH 4) 2SO 4 increased soil P availability. Overall, the rate of growth showed a cubic pattern of change over the 5 year period with peaks in 1988 and 1991. Trees in control plots went from a limiting foliar status of Ca and Mg, and surplus N in 1987 to a surplus of Ca and Mg, and lower N concentration in 1991. Our results suggest that nutrient deficiencies observed at our site were associated with a disturbance of the biogeochemical cycle of nutrients rather than soil nutrient depletion.Abbreviations BS

This study examined the effect of K (as K 2SO 4) supply on acid production under N 2-fixing plants of lupin (Lupinus angustifolius L. cv. Gungurru) and clover (Trifolium subterraneum L. cv. Dalkeith) grown in a K-deficient soil with a low pH buffer capacity for 55 days in the glasshouse at 20/12 °C (day/night). Increasing K supply up to 240 mg K kg -1 soil markedly increased plant growth of both species but clover growth was more responsive than lupin. Growing plants for 55 days decreased soil pH by 0.65–0.85 units under lupin and 0.45–0.83 units under clover. The amounts of H + produced per kg biomass (specific acid production) were the highest at the nil K supply, generally decreased with increasing K level up to 30 mg K kg -1 under lupin and up to 120 mg K kg -1 soil under clover and only slightly increased with further increasing K under lupin. Increasing K 2SO 4 supply proportionally increased plant uptake of K and SO

but generally decreased concentrations of Ca, Mg, Na, P and Cl. Specific acid production correlated well with concentrations of excess cations and ash alkalinity, and total acid production was strongly correlated with total excess cations and total ash alkalinity in plants. These relationships were not affected by K treatment and species. Specific acid production also correlated with plant Ca concentration but not with K concentration. In addition, lupin and clover extruded similar amounts of H + per kg biomass produced. It is suggested that application of K 2SO 4 does not have a significant impact on acid production by lupin and clover. 相似文献

Monthly uptake rates and the annual deposition of gaseous SO 2 via the stomata of six Norway spruce canopies ( Picea abies (L.) Karst.) in Germany (Königstein im Taunus, Witzenhausen, Grebenau, Frankenberg, Spessart, Fürth im Odenwald) were calculated (i) from statistical response functions of stomatal aperture depending on meteorological data, and (ii) from the synchronously measured SO 2 immission at these stands. The stomatal response functions had been derived on the basis of thorough stomatal water conductance measurements in the field. Calculations of the SO 2 conductance of spruce twigs and SO 2 uptake rates via stomata need continuously measured complete data sets of the (i) light intensity, (ii) air temperature, (iii) air humidity and (iv) SO 2 concentration in spruce forests from all the year. These data were recorded half hourly in different German spruce forests. The apparent needle water vapour pressure difference and transpiration rates were calculated from meteorological data. Additional use of canopy through flow data in dry years allowed the estimation of the mean stomatal conductance for H 2O and SO 2 of whole spruce canopies. The annual SO 2 uptake of a mean unit needle surface in spruce forests was 32% of the SO 2 uptake rate of exposed needles at the top of spruce crowns. There is significant SO 2 uptake all the year. The mean SO 2 dose at all sites and years received through the stomata was (0.25±0.07) mol SO 2 m -2 (total needle surface) (nPa Pa -1) -1 (annual mean of SO 2 immission; 1 nPa (SO 2) Pa -1 (air) = 1 ppb) day -1 (vegetation period per year). Comparison of calculated SO 2 uptake rates into needles with measured SO 4
2- accumulation rates in needles from the mentioned sites and additionally from Würzburg, Schneeberg (Fichtelgebirge) and from three sites in the eastern Erzgebirge (Höckendorf, Kahleberg, Oberbärenburg) revealed that oxidative SO 2 detoxification (SO 4
2- formation) dominates only at sites with high SO 2 immission and short vegetation periods. Under these conditions 70 to 90% of the annual stomatal SO 2 uptake is detoxified via SO 4
2- accumulation in needles. Cations are needed for neutralization of accumulating SO 4
2- which are inavailable to support growth. Thus, SO 2 induces a dominant and competitive additional nutrient cation demand, cation deficiency symptoms and enhanced needle loss (spruce decline symptoms) mainly at sites, where the ratio R=(SO 2 immission): (length of the vegetation period) is higher than R=0.07 nPa Pa -1 day -1. Correlation analysis of the relative needle loss versus the SO 2-dependent SO 4
2- formation rate revealed a significant increase of needle loss at the 98% level (Student). At sites with small SO 2 immission and long vegetation periods (R<0.07 nPa Pa -1 day -1) reductive SO 2 detoxification via growth (and/or phloem export of SO 4
2-) is not kinetically overburdened. Under these conditions only 30% of the annual SO 2 uptake is detoxified via SO 4
2- formation and spruce decline is small or absent. On the basis of the critical value R0.07 nPa Pa -1 day -1 recommended SO 2 immission limits can be deduced on a mere ecophysiological basis. These deduced values are close to the proposed SO 2 immission limits of the IUFRO, WHO and the UNECE. 相似文献

Pine ( Pinus silvestris L.) trees subjected to relatively low concentration of SO 2 in the field emit H 2S from the needles, as demonstrated by gas chromatographic analysis after preconcentration on a molecular sieve. H 2S is the only reduced sulfurous compound emitted from SO 2 fumigated leaves. The emission is light and SO 2 concentration dependent. Pine trees in the field and in laboratory experiments continue to emit H 2S several hours after the termination of prolonged SO 2 fumigation. The maximum emission rates observed from pine trees in the field and in laboratory experiments, 14 and 20 nanomoles per milligram chlorophyll per hour respectively, are about the activity expected for the sulfur assimilation pathway in the chloroplasts. 相似文献

Thienemann's 1922 biological lake classification indicates the increase in the trophic level of lakes. It is based on the sucession of the disappearance of certain benthic indicator organisms in relation to the gradient of a decreasing O 2concentration in the deep water, i.e. from O 2-sensitive Chironomidae spp. (non-biting midges) to the less sensitive Chaoboridae (phantom midges) larvae. As early as the mid 1930s, several lakes in Brandenburg, e.g. Lake Scharmützel, belonged to the last category of this classification. They were O 2-deficient in deep water during summer and lacked the Chironomidae larvae. Simultaneously, filamentous cyanobacteria (Oscillatoriales) appeared. This lead to the replacement of Thienemann's indicators, i.e. O 2 by H 2S and Chironomidae by Oscillatoriales, and to Wundsch's 1940 new H 2S- Oscillatoria-Lake type. Since H 2S and Oscillatoriales were not clearly identified as symptoms of eutrophication, it is not justified to use them to characterise a separate lake type. However, these indicators are of ecological importance, since the regional and common creeping increase in SO 4
2- concentration favoures the current high H 2S formation. The successive deterioration in O 2 conditions, the increase in the extent of H 2S formation related to the decrease in species diversity clearly indicates that Lake Scharmützel reached a qualitatively new state of eutrophication within 60 years. 相似文献

Proton extrusion by roots of intact sunflower plants ( Helianthus annuus L.) was studied in nutrient solutions or in agar media with a pH indicator. Proton extrusion was enhanced by either iron deficiency, addition of fusicoccin, or single salt solutions of ammonium or potassium salts. The three types of proton extrusion differ in both localization along the roots and capacity. From their sensitivity to ATPase inhibitors it seems justified to characterize them as proton pumps driven by plasma membrane APTases. Enhanced proton extrusion induced by preferential cation uptake from (NH4)2SO4 or K2SO4 was uniformly distributed over the whole root system. In contrast, the enhancement effect of fusicoccin was confined to the basal root zones and that of iron deficiency to the apical root zones. Also the rates of proton extrusion per unit of root fresh weight differed remarkably and increased in the order: Fusicoccin K2SO4 < (NH4)2SO4 < iron deficiency. Under iron deficiency the average values of proton extrusion for the whole root system are 5.6 micromoles H+ per gram fresh weight per hour; however, for the apical root zones values of about 28 micromoles H+ can be calculated. This high capacity is most probably related to the iron deficiency-induced formation of rhizodermal transfer cells in the apical root zones. It can be assumed that the various types of root-induced acidification of the rhizosphere are of considerable ecological importance for the plant-soil relationships in general and for mobilization of mineral nutrients from sparingly soluble sources in particular. 相似文献

Biological oxidation rates of CS 2 with a mixed microbial culture obtained from a trickling filter were optimal with 3 mM CS 2, pH 7, 30°C and SO 4
2– below 25 g l –1. Degradation rates were 3.4 mg CS 2/g proteinmin and 13.8 mg H 2S/g proteinmin. The concentrations of intermediates (H 2S, COS and S°) and the product (SO 4
2–) of CS 2 oxidation were measured. The biological oxidation was due principally to Gram negative bacteria. 相似文献

Summary Bean plants (Kora cv) were grown in potted soil artificially salinized by adding NaCl and CaCl 2 to the irrigation water to obtain an electrical conductivity of the soil saturation extract (EC e) thirty days after emergence of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 S/m at 25°C and a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 4 (mmol/l) 2. Thereafter, plants were irrigated when soil water matric potential ( M) was in the range of –20 to –30 kPa (wet treatment) and when M was in the range of –40 to –60 kPa (dry treatment).Transpiration rates (Tr) and leaf extension rates (LER) per plant or per unit of leaf area were decreased by increasing soil salinity and by decreasing soil moisture. However, a given decrement of M produced a considerable larger decrement in Tr of LER than an equivalent decrement of soil water osmotic potential ( 0). Absolute yields of green pods under wet treatments were from twice to one and a half time as large under the wet than under the dry treatment at equivalent values of 0. Relative yields were reduced by 25% when EC e were about 0.5 S/m and 0.7 S/m in the dry and wet treatment respectively. Salt tolerance data of crops may not have a quantitative interest when soil irrigation regimes under which they were obtained are not specified. 相似文献

The effect of growth conditions on aerobic and anaerobic hydrogenase activities of Anacystis nidulans was studied. It was found that the two hydrogenase activities both of which were confined to the particulate fraction of cell-free extracts correlated in an opposite way with growth temperature: The algae were always grown photoautotrophically in presence of H 2 but after growth at 25° C a significant oxyhydrogen reaction contrasted with negligible photoreduction rates while the opposite was true after growth at 40°C. A similar correlation between incubation temperature and induction of the respective hydrogenase activity was also observed with resting cells.Kinetic analysis of the two different types of hydrogenase — catalysed reactions with Anacystis membranes yielded the following Michaelis-Mentenparameters: K
M=55 M H 2 and v
max=0.12 mol H 2 per min and mg protein for the oxyhydrogen reaction, and K
M=170 M H 2 and v
max=0.3 mol H 2 per min and mg protein for the photoreductions. Also the dependences of oxyhydrogen and of photoreduction activities on pH and on temperature were measured; both pH and temperature profiles were found to be markedly different for each type of H 2-supported reaction.The results are discussed as pointing to the possible occurrence of two functionally distinct hydrogenase enzymes which can be synthesized by Anacystis in response to the conditions of induction.Abbreviations BO

Summary The fluorescence enhancement of 4,4-dibenzamido-2,2-disulfonic stilbene (DBDS) upon binding to membranes was used to examine proximal tubule stilbene binding sites. Equilibrium binding studies of DBDS to renal brush border (BBMV) and basolateral membrane vesicles (BLMV) were performed using a fluorescence enhancement technique developed for red blood cells (A.S. Verkman, J.A. Dix and A.K. Solomon, J. Gen. Physiol.
81:421–449, 1983). In the absence of transportable anions, DBDS bound reversibly to a single class of sites on BLMV isolated from rabbit ( K
d
=3.8 m) and rat (3.2 m); 100 m dihydro-4,4-diisothiocyano-2,2-disulfonic stilbene (H 2DIDS) blocked >95% of binding. H 2DIDS inhibitable DBDS binding was not detected using rat or rabbit BBMV. In rabbit BLMV, DBDS K
d
doubled with 10 mm SO 4, 50 mm HCO 3 and 100 mm Cl, but was not altered by Na or pH (6–8). In stopped-flow experiments the exponential time constant for DBDS binding slowed with SO 4, HCO 3 and Cl, but was unaffected by Na. These results are consistent with competitive binding of DBDS and anions at an anion transport site. To relate DBDS binding data to anion transport inhibition we used 35SO 4 uptake to characterize several modes of rabbit BLM anion transport: H/SO 4 and Na/SO 4 cotransport, and Cl/SO 4 countertransport. Each transport process was electroneutral and was inhibited by H 2DIDS, furosemide, probenecid, chlorothiazide and DBDS. The apparent K
t
's for DBDS (3–20 m) were similar to K

for DBDS binding. These studies define a class of anion transport sites on the proximal tubule basolateral membrane measureable optically by a fluorescent stilbene. 相似文献

The process of H 2S oxidation by the phototrophic bacteria Thiocapsa roseopersicina and Chlorobium phaeobacteroides, respectively, was monitored using a Pt-glass-Ag 0, Ag 2S electrode combination without liquid junction. Due to the resulting pe(pH) and pH 2S plottings three steps can be distinguished: oxidation of H 2S to an S(0) state, oxidation of S (0) to SO 4
2–, and oxidation of the remaining H 2S directly to SO 4
2–. Differences between the investigated bacteria exist with respect to their individual oxidation strategies. Thiocapsa apparently stops oxidizing H 2S at pH 2S 7.5 (e.g. 10 –7.5M H 2S) and shifts to the utilization of the intracellularly stored S (0). In contrast Chlorobium utilizes its extracellularly stored sulfur parallel to the extracellular H 2S fraction. The corresponding Pt-sensor responses (pe 7 values) were found to be similar to the corresponding partial redox equilibria (p 7 values) of H 2S oxidation stoichiometries as proposed by Van Niel (1931) and Trüper (1964). It is concluded that the recording of pe enables investigators to understand (and control) in situ redox processes, independent of their thermodynamic equilibration, only bound to changes of electroactivity vs. sensor. 相似文献

Summary Using the Neubauer technique and the slope ratio, it was found that efficiency of (NH 4) 2SO 4 in the presence of 12.5 or 25.0 g CaCO 3 per pot relative to its efficiency without CaCO 3 was 0.6 and 0.47, respectively.Application of 4 or 6 mg K/pot, the efficiency of (NH 4) 2SO 4 was 0.56 and 0.33, respectively, relative, to its efficiency without K application.The Dean's a value was found to vary with percent CaCO 3 or K 2SO 4 application. 相似文献
