The macroalga Ulva ohnoi constitutes a considerable fraction of green tides in coastal areas of Japan, but little is known about the physiological characteristics of this species. To investigate the environmental factors that promote the formation of green tides, we tested the responses of U. ohnoi and another common Japanese species, Ulva pertusa, to various levels of irradiance at different water temperatures. Because the two species are morphologically similar, we identified them using the PCR‐restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Under laboratory conditions, we evaluated the photosynthetic, dark respiration, and relative growth rate at a range of water temperatures (5 to 35°C) and photosynthetically active radiation (0 to 1000 μmol photons m?2 s?1). The maximum gross photosynthetic rate of U. ohnoi was larger than that of U. pertusa. The dark respiration rates revealed no significant differences among the species and temperature conditions. At 500 μmol photons m?2 s?1, the relative growth rate of U. ohnoi was larger than that of U. pertusa in higher temperature and the difference was the largest at 20°C. The estimated compensation irradiance and estimated saturation irradiance of U. ohnoi and U. pertusa ranged from 0.709 to 5.510 and 40.530 to 58.674 μmol photons m?2 s?1, which were lower than those in other intertidal green macroalgae, from 6 to 11 and 50 to 82 μmol photons m?2 s?1, respectively. Thus, U. ohnoi which exists as free‐floating near the water surface and accumulating inside the green tide can survive extensively in the water column of the intertidal zone, furthermore, the species can maintain rapid growth in this situation. Therefore, as a result of this study, it is suggested that the ecological success of U. ohnoi in shallow waters such as the tidal flats, estuarine, and coasts of the inner bay in comparison with U. pertusa.  相似文献

In many lakes in the northern United States and Canada the filamentous green alga Ulothrix zonata (Weber and Mohr) Kütz grows abundantly in early spring in shallow waters. Asexual reproduction occurs by formation of quadriflagellate zoospores which disrupt, the integrity of the cells upon release causing the filament to disintegrate. Study of the effects of 100 different combinations of irradiance, temperature and photoperiod revealed that zoospore formation is favored by high temperatures near 20°C, high light levels of 520 μE·m?2·s?1 and photoperiods of either short day (8:16 h light-dark) or long day cycles (16:8 h light-dark). Zoospore formation is minimal under conditions of low temperature (5°C), low irradiance (32.5 μE·m?2·s?1) and neutral day-lengths (12:12 h light-dark). These observations explain the decline in U. zonata biomass when water temperatures rise above 10° C. The combined effect of rising water temperatures and increasing daylengths causes progressively more filaments to switch from vegetable growth to zoospore production resulting in an increasing loss of biomass.  相似文献

The kelp Lessonia corrugata (Ochrophyta, Laminariales) is being developed for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) trials in the vicinity of salmon cages in Tasmania, Australia. Gametophytes are vegetally maintained before seeding on hatchery twine; however, the optimal temperature and light conditions for growth and sexual development are unknown. We measured vegetative size of female and male gametophytes and sexual development of females over a range of temperatures and irradiances using a temperature gradient table and neutral density light filters. Over a 4-week experiment, gametophytes were exposed to a combination of thermal (5.7–24.9 °C) and irradiance (10–100 μmol photons m?2 s?1) gradients, to assess biological performance. At the temperature extremes (hottest = 24.9 °C, coldest = 5.7 °C), we observed the critical thermal limits for this species and the results reveal a narrow optimal temperature range for growth and sexual development between 15.7 and 17.9 °C, with irradiances between 40 and 100 μmol photons m?2 s?1 resulting in fertile female gametophytes. Lessonia corrugata inhabits a small geographic range, found only around Tasmania, south of the Australian mainland, hence oceanic changes such as ongoing increases in sea surface temperatures (SSTs), and altered irradiance regimes may limit recruitment of the early microscopic life stages in the future. Our findings provide optimised culture conditions for aquaculture and information to predict the future geographic range of L. corrugata under ocean global change.

Growth and biochemical parameters of two strains of Rhodomonas salina (Cryptophyceae), cultivated under different combinations of irradiance, temperature, and nutrients, were compared. The microalgae were grown in batch mode for 10 days, in f/2 medium at 33‰ salinity. The experimental design was a 25 factorial design with the following variables: nitrate [0.441 mM (N1) and 3.529 mM (N2)], phosphate [0.018 mM (P1) and 0.144 mM (P2)], temperature [19 and 29 °C], continued irradiance [100 μmol photons m?2 s?1 (low light, LL), and 200 μmol photons m?2 s?1 (high light, HL)] and microalgae strains (CS-174 and CS-24). Growth parameters, protein and lipid content, and fatty acids profiles were analyzed. Principal component analysis showed that combined high nitrate, high phosphate availability, and high light, regardless of temperature, achieved the best growth in both strains; while combined high nitrate and high phosphate, regardless of irradiance or temperature, resulted in the highest protein accumulation in both strains. On the other hand, the content of total lipid, arachidonic (ARA), eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, as well as EPA/DHA ratio, were strongly influenced by temperature in both strains. Strain CS-174 grew better and achieved significantly higher (p?<?0.05) total lipid content (maximum 25.4?±?1.5 %), ARA, EPA and DHA content (maximum 3.5, 13.2 and 6.5 %, respectively), and EPA / DHA ratio (maximum 2.03), than strain CS-24, being thus more suitable for use in aquaculture nutrition.  相似文献

Lithophyllum yessoense Foslie is a markedly dominant subtidal, crustose coralline alga in south–western Hokkaido, Japan. In this study, the effects of irradiance, water temperature and nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) on the growth of sporelings of the alga were examined. The relative growth rate (RGR) was saturated at 17.6% d?1 at a high irradiance (240 umol photon m2s?1). Even at a low irradiance (10.7–49.9 umol photon m?2s?1), RGR was 7.1–12.7% d?1 The survival rate of sporelings was greater than 80% at irradiance above 10.7 μmol photon m?2s?1 throughout the culture period. The growth of L. yessoense sporelings was promoted at 15°C and 20°C, but inhibited at 5°C. The half‐saturation constants (Ks) for growth were about 0.5 umol L?1 and 0.14 umol L?1 for nitrate and phosphate, respectively. Saturated nitrate and phosphate concentrations for the growth were about 4.0 μmol L?1 and 0.4 μmol L?1, respectively, suggesting that L. yessoense is adaptable to a relatively high water temperature, a wide range of irradiance, and low ambient nitrate and phosphate concentrations. The results provide a possible explanation of why L. yessoense is dominant in the environments of south‐western Hokkaido.  相似文献

Environmental variables such as temperature, salinity, and irradiance are significant drivers of microalgal growth and distribution. Therefore, understanding how these variables influence fitness of potentially toxic microalgal species is particularly important. In this study, strains of the potentially harmful epibenthic dinoflagellate species Coolia palmyrensis, C. malayensis, and C. tropicalis were isolated from coastal shallow water habitats on the east coast of Australia and identified using the D1‐D3 region of the large subunit (LSU) ribosomal DNA (rDNA). To determine the environmental niche of each taxon, growth was measured across a gradient of temperature (15–30°C), salinity (20–38), and irradiance (10–200 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1). Specific growth rates of Coolia tropicalis were highest under warm temperatures (27°C), low salinities (ca. 23), and intermediate irradiance levels (150 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1), while C. malayensis showed the highest growth at moderate temperatures (24°C) and irradiance levels (150 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1) and growth rates were consistent across the range of salinity levels tested (20–38). Coolia palmyrensis had the highest growth rate of all species tested and favored moderate temperatures (24°C), oceanic salinity (35), and high irradiance (>200 μmol photons · m?2 · s?1). This is the first study to characterize the environmental niche of species from the benthic harmful algal bloom genus Coolia and provides important information to help define species distributions and inform risk management.  相似文献

Growth and sexual reproduction of the marine littoral diatom Cocconeis scutellum Ehrenb. var. ornata Grun. were investigated at 30 different combinations of temperature (5, 10, 14, 18, 22° C), irradiance (20, 60, 100 μE·m?2·s?1) and daylength (14:10 and 10:14 h LD cycle). Growth occurred at all combinations. The optimal growth was observed at 14–18° C, long daylength and highest-to-moderate irradiance, and at 18° C, short daylength and highest irradiance. Sexual reproduction on the other hand occurred between 5 and 18° C, and the optimal condition was 10–14° C and short daylength. Annual cyclic, and sesonal changes in the distribution of cell size (valve length) were observed in a field population. These changes were characterized by an annual minimum in mean cell size in autumn, an annual maximum in winter, a slight decrease from the mean in spring–middle summer, a rapid decrease from the mean in late summer–early autumn, and appearance of bimodal distribution of cell size in winter. These changes were caused by sexual reproduction in autumn, rapid growth in late summer–early autumn and slow growth in other seasons, and poor viability of small cells near the lower end of the size range.  相似文献

Effects of irradiance and temperature on the Mediterranean red algae Eupogodon spinellus and Eupogodon planus were tested. Growth of both species was saturated at an irradiance of 10–20?μmol?m?2?s?1, which is in accordance with their sublittoral habitat. Eupogodon spinellus and E. planus survived permanently at temperatures between 8 and 30?°C. The temperature optimum for growth was 25?°C with suboptimal growth occurring at (10?)15 and 30?°C in both species. At their collection locality (Corsica), potential monthly growth yields would be highest in summer and in winter would be only about 20% of the maximum. Reproductive requirements could be determined only in E. planus. Gametophytes reproduced both in long and in short days but only at 20?°C. Tetrasporophytes reproduced at 15–20?°C but only in short days. Geographic distribution boundaries are not set by growth or survival limits. However, the reproductive requirements of E. planus did account for its restricted distribution in the Mediterranean and on the Canary Islands.  相似文献

Grateloupia turuturu Yamada is an economically valuable red alga with great potential in nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. Filaments of G. turuturu are of primary importance in germplasm preservation and sporeling culture, although filaments were not present in its life cycle. In this study, effects of temperature (10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 °C) and irradiance (10, 30, 60, and 90 μmol?photons m?2?s?1) with photoperiod 10:14 h (light/dark) on filament development were investigated. Our results indicated that 25 °C was the optimal temperature for the formation of discoid crusts regardless of the irradiance. Conditions of 20 °C and 60 μmol photons m?2?s?1 promoted the development of discoid crusts and formation of upright thalli.  相似文献

Phenology, irradiance, and temperature characteristics of an edible brown alga, Undaria pinnatifida (Laminariales), were examined from the southernmost natural population in Japan, both by culturing gametophytes and examining the photosynthetic activity of sporophytes using dissolved oxygen sensors and pulse amplitude-modulated chlorophyll fluorometer (IMAGING-PAM). Our surveys confirmed that sporophytes were present between winter and early summer, but absent by July. IMAGING-PAM experiments were used to measure maximum effective quantum yield (ΦII at 0 μmol photons m?2 s?1) for each of 14 temperatures (8–36 °C). Oxygen production was also determined over a coarser temperature gradient. Net photosynthesis and ΦII (at 0 μmol photons m?2 s?1) were observed to be temperature-dependent; the maximum ΦII was estimated to be 0.67, occurred at 21.2 °C, and was nearly identical to the optimal temperature of the net photosynthetic rate (21.7 °C). A net photosynthesis–irradiance (P–E) model revealed that saturation irradiance (E k) was 119.5 μmol photons m?1 s?1, and the compensation irradiance (E c) was 17.4 μmol photons m?1 s?1. Culture experiments on the gametophytes revealed that most individuals could not survive temperatures over 28 °C and that growth rates were severely inhibited. Based on our observations, temperatures greater than 20 °C are likely to influence photosynthetic activity and gametophyte survival, and therefore, it is possible that this species might become locally extinct if seawater temperatures in this region continue to rise.  相似文献

Ulothrix zonata (Weber and Mohr) Kütz. is an unbranched filamentous green alga found in rocky littoral areas of many northern lakes. Field observations of its seasonal and spatial distribution indicated that it should have a low temperature and a high irradiance optimum for net photosynthesis, and at temperatures above 10°C it should show an increasingly unfavorable energy balance. Measurements of net photosynthesis and respiration were made at 56 combinations of light and temperature. Optimum conditions were 5°C and 1100 μE·m?2·s?1 at which net photosynthesis was 16.8 mg O2·g?1·h?1. As temperature increased above 5° C optimum irradiance decreased to 125 μE·m?2·s?1 at 30°C. Respiration rates increased with both temperature and prior irradiance. Light-enhanced respiration rates were significantly greater than dark respiration rates following irradiance exposures of 125 μE·m?2·s?1 or greater. Polynomials were fitted to the data to generate response surfaces. Polynomial equations represent statistical models which can accurately predict photosynthesis and respiration for inclusion in ecosystem models.  相似文献

Two filamentous cyanobacteria of the genera Scytonema and Tolypothrix were reported to be effective for stabilizing soil in arid areas due to the production of significant amounts of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS). These EPS may also have applications in the biotechnology industry. Therefore, two cyanobacterial species, Scytonema tolypothrichoides and Tolypothrix bouteillei were examined using crossed gradients of temperature (8–40°C) and irradiance (3–21 W m?2) to identify their temperature and irradiance optima for maximum biomass and EPS production. According to their reported temperature requirements, both strains were considered mesophilic. The optimum growth range of temperature in S. tolypothrichoides (27 to 34°C) was higher than T. bouteillei (22–32°C). The optimum irradiance range for growth of S. tolypothrichoides (9–13 W m?2) was slightly lower than T. bouteillei (7–18 W m?2). Maximum EPS production by S. tolypothrichoides occurred at similar temperatures (28–34°C) as T. bouteillei (27–34°C), both slightly higher than for maximum growth. The optimum irradiance range for EPS production was comparable to that for growth in S. tolypotrichoides (8–13 W m?2), and slightly lower in T. bouteillei (7–17 W m?2). The Redundancy Analysis confirmed that temperature was the most important controlling factor and protocols for field applications or for mass cultivation can now be developed.  相似文献

The effect of irradiance and temperature on the photosynthesis of the red alga, Pyropia tenera, was determined for maricultured gametophytes and sporophytes collected from a region that is known as one of the southern limits of its distribution in Japan. Macroscopic gametophytes were examined using both pulse‐amplitude modulated fluorometry and/or dissolved oxygen sensors. A model of the net photosynthesis–irradiance (P‐E) relationship of the gametophytes at 12°C revealed that the net photosynthetic rate quickly increased at irradiances below the estimated saturation irradiance of 46 μmol photons m?2 s?1, and the compensation irradiance was 9 μmol photons m?2 s?1. Gross photosynthesis and dark respiration for the gametophytes were also determined over a range of temperatures (8–34°C), revealing that the gross photosynthetic rates of 46.3 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1 was highest at 9.3 (95% Bayesian credible interval (BCI): 2.3–14.5)°C, and the dark respiration rate increased at a rate of 0.93 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1°C?1. The measured dark respiration rates ranged from ?0.06 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1 at 6°C to ?25.2 μmol O2 mgchl‐a?1 min?1 at 34°C. The highest value of the maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) for the gametophytes occurred at 22.4 (BCI: 21.5–23.3) °C and was 0.48 (BCI: 0.475–0.486), although those of the sporophyte occurred at 12.9 (BCI: 7.4–15.1) °C and was 0.52 (BCI: 0.506–0.544). This species may be considered well‐adapted to the current range of seawater temperatures in this region. However, since the gametophytes have such a low temperature requirement, they are most likely close to their tolerable temperatures in the natural environment.  相似文献

Since 2007, green tides have occurred along the coast of the Yellow Sea, China. The green tide extended to 50,000 km2 (floating area) within 2–3 months and the calculated covering area was about 400 km2 in 2010. These facts implied that the growth and reproduction of the dominant species Ulva prolifera were stimulated. We observed that 1 cm2 blades (single layer) released 2.84–6.62?×?106 spores or 1.14–2.65?×?107 gametes and that 91.6–96.4 % of them germinated into younger seedlings. This means that, in theory, 1 g (fresh weight) of blades was able to produce about 2.8?×?108–2.7?×?109 new younger seedlings. From 2009 to 2011, the growth rate of green tide algae was measured in situ in enclosure experiments in Rudong coast, Jiangsu Province and the growth curve of the algae was divided into four phases: lag phase, accelerated phase, stationary phase, and decline phase. Usually, the average daily specific relative growth rate was about 23.2–23.6 % d?1 for a whole growth period, and it reached up to 56.2 % d?1 in the accelerated phase. Correspondingly, the morphology of green tide algae in enclosures also showed periodic variation as follows: blades presented new filamentous branches from old thallus in the lag phase, longer filamentous branches in the accelerated phase, tubular and cystic blades in the stationary phase, and folded blades in the decline stage. Those studies may be useful for understanding the green tide blooming mechanism.  相似文献

The aim of the work was to find the optimal photon irradiance for the growth of green cells of Haematococcus pluvialis and to study the interrelations between changes in photochemical parameters and pigment composition in cells exposed to photon irradiances between 50 and 600?µmol?m?2?s?1 and a light:dark cycle of 12:12?h. Productivity of cultures increased with irradiance. However, the rate of increase was higher in the range 50–200?µmol??2?s?1. The carotenoid content increased with increasing irradiance, while the chlorophyll content decreased. The maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm) gradually declined from 0.76 at the lowest irradiance of 50?µmol??2?s?1 to 0.66 at 600?µmol??2?s?1. Photosynthetic activity showed a drop at the end of the light period, but recovered fully during the following dark phase. A steep increase in non-photochemical quenching was observed when cultures were grown at irradiances above 200?µmol??2?s?1. A sharp increase in the content of secondary carotenoids also occurred above 200?µmol?m?2?s?1. According to our results, with H. pluvialis green cells grown in a 5-cm light path device, 200?µmol??2?s?1 was optimal for growth, and represented a threshold above which important changes in both photochemical parameters and pigment composition occurred.  相似文献

Seaweed cultivation is imperative to augment increasing industrial demand. Ulva fasciata Delile is a potential seaweed for cultivation with applications in food industries. There is a renewed interest in large-scale aquaculture of this species in India due to its envisaged demand in snack food products. In the present study, we have successfully demonstrated the possibility of inducing zoospores in vegetative tissue, effective regeneration and improved growth in this seaweed by manipulating salinity (from 15 to 30 psu) and temperature (from 15 to 35°C). The optimum salinity and temperature requirement for zoospores induction were found to be 15 psu and 25°C, respectively. The quadriflagellate zoospores showed negative phototaxis and the settlement and germination pattern similar to several other green seaweeds. The optimum regeneration (78.53?±?10.05%) was recorded at 25°C and 30 psu salinity. The maximum daily growth rate (16.1?±?0.28%) was at 25°C and 30 psu salinity which corresponded to the field conditions. This method could be further refined at nursery culture to achieve artificial seeding essential for the success of commercial cultivation of this seaweed.  相似文献

Microalgae growing within brine channels (85 psu salinity) of the surface ice layers of Antarctic pack ice showed considerable photosynthetic tolerance to the extreme environmental condition. Brine microalgae exposed to temperatures above ?5°C and at irradiances up to 350 μmol photons·m?2·s?1 showed no photosynthetic damage or limitations. Photosynthesis was limited (but not photoinhibited) when brine microalgae were exposed to ?10°C, provided the irradiance remained under 50 μmol photons·m?2·s?1. The highest level of photosynthetic activity (maximum relative electron transport rate [rETRmax]) in brine microalgae growing within the surface layer of sea ice was at approximately 18 μmol electrons·m?2·s?1, which occurred at ?1.8°C. Effective quantum yield of PSII and rETRmax of the halotolerant brine microalgae exhibited a temperature‐dependent pattern, where both parameters were higher at ?1.8°C and lower at ?10°C. Relative ETRmax at temperatures above ?5°C were stable across a wide range of irradiance.  相似文献

Dependence of the growth of this alga culture on temperature displays a wide interval of temperatures (from 4 °C to 30 °C) and the dependence of the sexual reproduction only a narrow one (from 18 °C to 25 °C). The optimum temperatures for both the processes are not so different (round 23 °C). Dependence of both the processes on irradiance displays a wide interval of irradiances in both eases (from 4 W mt-2 to 80 W mt-2 PhAR and higher). The optimum irradiances for these processes are very different (approx. 50 W mt-2 PhAR for the growth and approx. 10 W mt-2 PhAR for the sexual reproduction) under the experimental conditions used.  相似文献

The present study describes a strain of Gloeocapsa sp. designated as Gacheva 2007/R‐06/1, originally isolated from a geothermal flow located in Rupite, Bulgaria. To evaluate whether this cyanobacterium is locally adapted to hot environment or has the ability to tolerate lower temperatures, its growth, biochemical composition, enzyme isoforms and activity of the main antioxidant enzymes and proteases were characterized under various temperatures and two irradiance levels. The strain was able to grow over the whole temperature range (15–40°C) under two different photon fluence densities – 132 μmol photons m?2 s?1 (unilateral, low light, LL) and 2 × 132 μmol photons m?2 s?1 (bilateral, high light, HL). The best growth occurred at either 34°C and LL or at 36°C and HL, but significant growth inhibition was noted at 15°C and 40°C. Low temperature treatment (15°C) resulted in higher levels of total protein and an increased activity of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and glutathione reductase, as compared to optimum growth temperatures. After simultaneous exposure to 15°C and HL, increases in lipid content and activity of iron superoxide dismutase and catalase (CAT) were also observed. Cultivation of cells at 40°C enhanced MnSOD, CAT and peroxidase activities, regardless of irradiance level. Increased total protein content and protease activity at 40°C was only associated with the HL treatment. Overall, these results indicate that Gloeocapsa sp. strain Gacheva 2007/R‐06/1 used different strategies to enable cells to efficiently acclimate and withstand adverse low or high temperatures. This strain obviously tolerates a wide range of temperatures below its natural habitat temperature, and does not seem to be locally adapted to its original thermal regime. It behaved as a thermotolerant rather than a thermophilic cyanobacterium, which suggests its wider distribution in nature.  相似文献

Physiological properties of the temperate hermatypic coral Acropora pruinosa Brook with symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) on the southern coast of the Izu Peninsula, Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan, were compared between summer and winter. Photosynthesis and respiration rates of the coral with symbiotic zooxanthellae were measured in summer and winter under controlled temperatures and irradiances with a differential gasvolumeter (Productmeter). Net photosynthetic rate under all irradiances was higher in winter than in summer at the lower range of temperature (12–20°C), while lower than in summer at the higher range of temperature (20–30°C). The optimum temperature for net photosynthesis was apt to fall with the decrease of irradiance both in summer and winter, whereas it was higher in summer than in winter under each irradiance. At 25/ 50/100 μmol photons nr2 s?1, it was nearly the sea‐water temperature in each season. Dark respiration rate was higher in winter than in summer, especially in the range from 20–30°C. In both seasons the optimum temperature for gross photosynthesis was 28°C under 400 μmol photons nr2 s?1 and lowered with decreasing irradiance up to 22°C under 25 μmol photons nr2 s?1 in summer, while 20°C under the same irradiance in winter. The optimum temperature for production/respiration (P/R) ratio was higher in summer than in winter under each irradiance. Results indicated that metabolism of coral and zooxanthellae is adapted to ambient temperature condition under nearly natural irradiance in each season.  相似文献
