A new phototrophic bacterium was isolated from Jordanian and Kenyan alkaline salt lakes. Cells are rod shaped, 1.5 m wide and 2–4 m long, and motile by polar flagella. They divide by binary fission, and possess photosynthetic membranes as lamellar stacks similar to those in the other species of the genus Ectothiorhodospira and the brown colored Rhodospirillum species. The presence of bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the normal spirilloxanthin series is indicated by the absorption spectra of living cells. Under certain growth conditions the cells form gas vacuoles, may become immotile and float to the top of the culture medium. Sulfide and thiosulfate are used as photosynthetic electron donors. During the oxidation of sulfide to sulfate, elemental sulfur is formed, which is accumulated outside the cells. The organisms are strictly anaerobic, do not require vitamins, are moderately halophilic and need alkaline pH-values for growth. The new species Ectothiorhodospira vacuolata is proposed. 相似文献

A new purple nonsulfur bacterium was isolated from enrichment cultures of a sulfide-containing marine lagoon. The bacterium is similar to Rhodopseudomonas capsulata and is described as a new species of the genus Rhodopseudomonas: Rhodopseudomonas adriatica. Cells are non-motile, 0.5–0.8 m by 1.3–1.8 m, and multiply by binary fission. Intracytoplasmic membranes are of the vesicular type. The photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spheroidene group. Growth is possible anaerobically in the light and at low pO2 in the dark. Biotin and thiamine are required as growth factors. A wide variety of organic compounds, as well as sulfide and thiosulfate, are used as photosynthetic electron donors. Sulfide is oxidized to elemental sulfur, which is subsequently converted to sulfate, whereas thiosulfate oxidation occurs without measurable intermediate. Rhodopseudomonas adriatica is unable to assimilate sulfate, growth is only possible in the presence of a reduced sulfur compound. 相似文献

Summary The response of net photosynthesis to temperature, moisture, and light was examined in thalli of the tropical basidiomycete lichen Cora pavonia from recent lahar flows on the volcanic summit La Soufrière (Guadeloupe, French West Indies). Although thalli of C. pavonia are typically exposed to only low light intensities and isothermal temperature conditions under prevailing cloud/shroud conditions on La Soufrière, their photosynthetic response matrix reveals an unexpected breadth of response. The temperature optimum of net photosynthetic uptake in C. pavonia rises from 6°C at a photon flux area density of 25 mol m–2 s–1 PAR to 27°C at 1000 mol m–2 s–1 PAR, with rates of maximal net photosynthetic uptake exceeding 25 mg CO2 g–1 h–1. Net photosynthesis was optimal at thallus moisture contents of 250 to 350 percent water content by weight, declining only slightly in fully saturated thalli. These response patterns pose an apparent paradox, as on most days they will act to severely restrict net photosynthetic uptake by thalli of C. pavonia on La Soufrière. This paradox is discussed in context of those selective pressures faced by lichen thalli in later successional stages as well as those imposed by brief periods of atypical weather conditions. 相似文献

In vitro cultures of Nephrolepis exaltata and Cordyline fruticosa were stored at 5°, 9° or 13°C, at a low irradiance (3–5 mol m–2 s–1) or in darkness. Prior to storage the cultures were subjected to 18°, 21°, 24° or 27°C and 15, 30 or 45 mol m–2 s–1 in a factorial combination.The optimal storage conditions for Nephrolepis were 9°C in complete darkness. These cultures were still transferable to a peat/perlite mixture at the end of the experimental period of 36 months.The optimal storage conditions for Cordyline were 13°C and a low light level (±3–5 mol m-2 s-1). When the pre-storage conditions were normal growth room conditions (24°C and 30 mol m-2 s-1), in vitro cultures could be stored for 18 months. With the most favourable pre-storage treatment (18°C and 15 mol m-2 s-1) some cultures still had green shoots after 36 months of storage, but did not survive transfer to peat/perlite.Pre-conditioning before storage was most favourable for Nephrolepis, and not that important, but still favourable, for Cordyline. There was an interaction between pre-storage temperature and pre-storage irradiance. For both species a high irradiance level was less favourable than a low irradiance level when combined with high growth room temperatures.Abbreviations BA

Young sporophytes of short-stipe ecotype ofEcklonia cavafrom a warmer locality (Tei, Kochi Pref., southern Japan) and those of long-stipe ecotype from a cooler locality (Nabeta, Shizuoka Pref., central Japan) were transplanted in 1995 to artificial reefs immersed at the habitat of long-stipe ecotype in Nabeta Bay, Shizuoka Pref., central Japan. The characteristics of photosynthesis and respiration of bladelets of the transplanted sporophytes of the two ecotypes were compared in winter and summer 1997; the results were assessed per unit area, per unit chlorophyllacontent and per unit dry weight. In photosynthesis-light curves at 10–29 °C, light saturation occurred at 200–400 mol photon m–2s–1in sporophytes from both Tei and Nabeta. The maximum photosynthetic rate (P
max) at 10–29 °C and the light-saturation index (I
k) at 25–29 °C in sporophytes from both localities were generally higher in winter than in summer.P
maxat 25–29 °C (per unit area and chlorophylla) were higher in sporophytes from Tei than those from Nabeta in both seasons. The optimum temperature for photosynthesis was 25 °C in winter and 27 °C in summer at high light intensities of 100–400 mol photon m–2s–1. However, at lower light intensities of 12.5–50 mol photon m–2s–1, it was 20 °C in winter and 25–27 °C in summer for sporophytes from both locations. Dark respiration increased with temperature rise in the range of 10–29 °C in sporophytes from both locations in summer and winter. The sporophytes transplanted from Tei (warmer area) showed higher photosynthetic activities than those from Nabeta (cooler area) at warmer temperatures even under the same environmental conditions. This indicates that these physiological ecotypes have arisen from genetic differentiation. 相似文献

An in situ incubation technique used successfully to measure the photosynthetic carbon assimilation of internal algal assemblages within thick multiyear Arctic ice was developed and improved to measure the photosynthetic carbon assimilation within young sea ice only 50 cm thick (Eastern Weddell Sea, Antarctica). The light transmission was improved by the construction of a cylindrical frame instead of using a transparent acrylic-glass barrel. The new device enabled some of the first precise measurements of in situ photosynthetic carbon assimilation in newly formed Antarctic sea ice, which is an important component in the sea ice ecosystem of the Antarctic Ocean. The rates of carbon assimilation of the interior algal assemblage (top to 5 cm from bottom) was 0.25 mg C m–2 d–1 whereas the bottom algal community (lowest 5 cm) attained only 0.02 mg C m–2 d–1. Chl a specific production rates (PChl) for bottom algae (0.020 – 0.056 g C g chl a
–1 h–1) revealed strong light limitation, whereas the interior algae (PChl = 0.7 – 1.2 g C g chl a
–1 h–1) were probably more limited by low temperatures (< –5 °C) and high brine salinities. 相似文献

Photosynthesis and growth rates of Laurencia brongniartii J. Agardh (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales) in preparation for cultivation 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Laurencia brongniartii is usually found at depths below 4 m, but can be found in shallow subtidal areas in crevices and on the walls of a coral reef in Amami Oshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, where irradiances were significantly lower than those at similar depths in open water. In preparation for the possible cultivation of this species for its antibiotic compounds, the effects of temperature and irradiance on photosynthesis and growth were measured. Photosynthesis and growth rates of L. brongniartii explants were highest at 26 and 28 °C, which closely corresponded to temperatures found during August to late December when it was most abundant. The estimated maximum photosynthesis rate (P
max) was 4.41 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 26 °C and 4.07 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 28 °C. Saturating irradiance occurred at 95 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 26 °C and 65 mol photon m–2 s–1 at 28 °C. In contrast, growth experiments at 41.7 mol photon m–2 s–1 caused bleaching of explants and the maximum growth rate observed during the study was 3.02 ± 0.75% day–1 at 28 °C and 25 mol photon m–2 s–1. The difference in the saturating irradiance for photosynthesis and the irradiance that caused bleaching in growth experiments suggests that long-term exposure to high irradiance was detrimental and should be addressed before the initiation of large scale cultivation. 相似文献

Determination of the quantum efficiency of photosystem II and of non-photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence in the field 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
A newly developed portable chlorophyll fluorometer in combination with a special leaf clip holder was used for assessing photosynthetic activity of attached sun leaves of Fagus sylvatica and Cucurbita pepo under field conditions. During diurnal time courses, fluorescence yield, photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) incident on the leaf plane, and leaf temperature were measured and quantum efficiency of photosystem II (PS II), apparent relative electron transport rates, and non-photochemical fluorescence quenching (NPQ) calculated. In both species, quantum efficiency followed closely the incident PPFD and no hysteresis could be observed during the day. Apparent electron transport rate showed light saturation above a PPFD of 700 mol m–2 s–1 in F. sylvatica, while in C. pepo no saturation was visible up to 1400 mol m–2 s–1. NPQ was closely correlated to excessive PPFD calculated from the PS II quantum yield. Maximal NPQ observed was 3.3 Although the beech leaf was exposed for a considerable time to PPFD values of 1400–1500 mol m–2 s–1 and leaf temperatures between 30 and 35°C, no obvious signs for sustained photodamage could be observed. The data demonstrate the potential of chlorophyll fluorescence measurements to analyse photosynthetic performance under field conditions with minimal disturbance of the plant. Potential error sources due to the geometry of the leaf clip holder used are discussed.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. F.-C. Czygan on the occasion of his 60th birthday 相似文献

Deenergized cells of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain Essex 6 formed trithionate and thiosulfate during reduction of sulfite with H2 or formate. The required conditions were pretreatment with the uncoupler carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP), low concentration of the electron donor H2 or formate (25–200 M) and the presence of sulfite in excess (>250 M). The cells formed up to 20 M thiosulfate, and variable amounts of trithionate (0–9 M) and sulfide (0–62 M). Tetrathionate was not produced. Sulfate could not replace sulfite in these experiments, as deenergized cells cannot activate sulfate. However, up to 5 M thiosulfate was produced by cells growing with H2 and excess sulfate in a chemostat. Micromolar concentrations of trithionate were incompletely reduced to thiosulfate and sulfide by washed cells in the presence of CCCP. Millimolar trithionate concentrations blocked the formation of sulfide, even in the absence of CCCP, and caused thiosulfate accumulation; sulfide formation from sulfate, sulfite or thiosulfate was stopped, too. Trithionate reduction with H2 in the presence of thiocyanate was coupled to respiration-driven proton translocation (extrapolated H+/H2 ratios of 1.5±0.6). Up to 150 M trithionate was formed by washed cells during oxidation of sulfite plus thiosulfate with ferricyanide as electron acceptor (reversed trithionate reductase activity). Cell breakage resulted in drastic decrease of sulfide formation. Cell-free extract reduced sulfite incompletely to trithionate, thiosulfate, and sulfide. Thiosulfate was reduced stoichiometrically to sulfite and sulfide (thiosulfate reductase activity). The formation of sulfide from sulfite, thiosulfate or trithionate by cell-free extract was blocked by methyl viologen, leading to increased production of thiosulfate plus trithionate from sulfite, or increased thiosulfate formation from trithionate. Our study demonstrates for the first time the formation of intermediates during sulfite reduction with whole cells of a sulfate-reducing bacterium oxidizing physiological electron donors. All results are in accordance with the trithionate pathway of sulfite reduction.With gratitude dedicated to Prof. Dr. Norbert Pfennig on occasion of his 65th birthday 相似文献

In vitro microrhizome production was obtained in turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn.). Freshly sprouted buds with small rhizome portions excised from stored mature rhizomes were cultured on semi-solid culture initiation medium –- MS basal medium + 0.88 M BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) + 0.92 M kinetin + 5% coconut water + 2% sucrose + 0.5% agar –- resulting in bud elongation. Multiple shoots were produced from these elongated buds by culturing in liquid shoot multiplication medium –- MS basal medium + 2.2 M BAP + 0.92 M kinetin + 5% coconut water + 2% sucrose –- at 25±1°C and 16-h light (at 11.7 mol m–2 s–1)/8-h dark cycles. Clumps of four to five multiple shoots/single shoots were used in various experiments. Cultures were incubated in the dark at 25±1°C. Half strength MS basal medium supplemented with 80 g l–1 sucrose was found to be optimal for microrhizome production. Cytokinin BAP had an inhibitory effect on microrhizome production. At the highest concentration of BAP tried (35.2 M) microrhizome production was totally inhibited. Microrhizome production depended on the size of the multiple shoots used. Microrhizomes produced were of a wide range in size (0.1–2.0 g) and, readily regenerated when isolated and cultured in vitro on culture initiation medium or shoot multiplication medium. Under in vivo conditions, small (0.1–0.4 g), medium (0.41–0.8 g) and big (>0.81 g) microrhizomes regenerated. Plantlets developed from big microrhizomes grew faster. 相似文献

Phytotoxicity and inhibitory effects of the fusarial toxins fumonisin B1 (FB1) [m.p. 103–105 °C], fusaric acid [m.p. 106–107 °C], butenolide (4-acetamido-4-hydroxy-2-butenoic acid lactone) [116–117 °C], 9, 10-dihydroxyfusaric acid [m.p. 150–155 ° C], and moniliformin on chlorophyll synthesis in the aquatic macrophyte Lemna minor (duckweed) were examined. FB1 proved to be most active, reducing the growth of L. minor fronds and their ability to synthesize chlorophyll by 53% and 59%, respectively, at 0.7 g/ml. The growth rate of L. minor was reduced 59% by 6.7 g/ml fusaric acid, 62% by 66.7 g/ml butenolide, and 22% by 66.7 g/ml 9,10-dihydroxyfusaric acid. Moniliformin was the least phytotoxic to L. minor, with only a 16% suppression of growth rate and a 54% reduction in chlorophyll at 66.7 g/ml.The mention of firm names or trade products does not imply that they are endorsed or recommended by the US Department of Agriculture over other firms or similar products not mentioned. 相似文献

Strawberry (Fragaria ananassaDuch. cv. Fengxiang) plantlets were cultured under two in vitroenvironments for rooting, and then acclimatized under two ex vitroirradiance conditions. At the end of rooting stage plant height, fresh weight and specific leaf area of T1-plants grown under high sucrose concentration (3 sucrose), low photosynthetic photon flux density (30 mol m–2 s–1) and normal CO2 concentration (350–400 l l–1) were significantly higher than those of T2-plantlets grown under low sucrose concentration (0.5), high photosynthetic photon flux density (90 mol m–2 s–1) and elevated CO2 concentration (700–800 l l–1). But T2-plantlets had higher net photosynthetic rate (Pn), effective photochemical quantum yield of PSII (PSII), effective photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR), photochemical quenching (qP) and ratio of chlorophyll fluorescence yield decrease (Rfd). After transfer, higher irradiance obviously promoted the growth of plantlets and was beneficial for the development of photosynthetic functions during acclimatization. T2-plantlets had higher fresh weight, leaf area, PSII and ETR under higher ex vitroirradiance condition. 相似文献

A new nonmotile purple sulfur bacterium (strain M9) was isolated from the steppe soda lake Lake Dzun Uldziin Nur (pH 9.4; mineralization, 3.3%) situated in southeastern Mongolia. Individual cells appear as vibrios 0.3–0.5 × 0.7–1 m in size. The dividing cells often do not separate from each other, forming an almost closed ring. The internal photosynthetic membranes are represented by concentric lamellae lining the cell wall. Photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series. The main carotenoid (>96%) is spirilloxanthin. Two typical light-harvesting complexes (LH1 and LH2) are present in the membranes in a 1 : 1 ratio. The bacterium is an anaerobe and facultative photoorganoheterotroph. Photolithoautotrophic growth on sulfide is scarce. Thiosulfate is utilized as an electron donor only in the presence of organic matter. Globules of elemental sulfur are formed as an intermediary product of sulfide and thiosulfate oxidation and are deposited outside the cells. The end product of oxidation is sulfate. In the presence of sulfide and carbonates, acetate, lactate, malate, pyruvate, propionate, succinate, and fumarate are used as additional sources of carbon in anoxygenic photosynthesis. Vitamins are not required. The bacterium is an alkaliphile, the pH optimum is at 8.3–9.1, the pH range is 7.6–10.1. The optimum NaCl concentration in the medium is 1 to 7%; the range is 0.5 to 0.9%. The optimum carbonate content in the medium is 2%; the range is 1 to 10%. The best growth occurs at 30–35°C. The DNA G+C content is 57.5 mol %. According to the results of analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, the new isolate M9 belongs to the phylogenetic cluster containing representatives of the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae within the class Gammaproteobacteria. In this class, the new isolate forms a new branch, which occupies an intermediate position between the representatives of the genera Ectothiorhodospira and Thiorhodospira. Based on the phenotypic and genetic characteristics, the new purple sulfur bacterium was assigned to a new species of a new genus of the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae, Ectothiorhodosinus mongolicum gen. nov., sp. nov. 相似文献

In Taxus cuspidata callus, vanadyl sulfate (10 mg l–1) induced a high (146 g g–1 dry wt) production of 10-deacetylbaccatin III in comparison to 7 g g–1 dry wt of the control. The content of paclitaxel in this species increased from 16 g g–1 to 74 g g–1 dry wt when 20 mg phenylalanine l–1 was used. In T. media, p-aminobenzoic acid induced the highest content of 10-deacetylbaccatin III (481 g g–1 dry wt) versus 181 g g–1 in the control. Paclitaxel increased from 89 to 139 g g–1 dry wt after adding chitosan (20 mg l–1) to the cultures. 相似文献

Synopsis Arsenic persists in Chautauqua Lake, New York waters 13 years after cessation of herbicide (sodium arsenite) application and continues to cycle within the lake. Arsenic concentrations in lake water ranged from 22.4–114.81 g l–1, = 49.0 ag l–1. Well water samples generally contained less than 10 g l–1 arsenic. Arsenic concentrations in lake water exceeded U.S. Public Health Service recommended maximum concentrations (10 g l–1) and many samples exceeded the maximum permissible limit (50 g l–1). Fish accumulated arsenic from water but did not magnify it. Fish to water arsenic ratios ranged from 0.4–41.6. Black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus) contained the highest arsenic concentrations (0.14–2.04 g g–1 ), X = 0.7 g g–1) while perch (Perca flavescens), muskellunge (Esox masquinongy) and largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) contained the lowest concentrations (0.02–0.13 g g–1). Arsenic concentrations in fish do not appear to pose a health hazard for human consumers. 相似文献

Summary
Selaginella lepidophylla, the resurrection plant, curls dramatically during desiccation and the hypothesis that curling may help limit bright light-induced damage during desiccation and rehydration was tested under laboratory conditions. Restraint of curling during desiccation at 25° C and a constant irradiance of 2000 mol m–2 s]t-1 significantly decreased PSII and whole-chain electron transport and the Fv/Fm fluorescence yield ratio following rehydration relative to unrestrained plants. Normal curling during desiccation at 37.5°C and 200 mol m–2 s–1 irradiance did not fully protect against photoinhibition or chlorophyll photooxidation indicating that some light-induced damage occurred early in the desiccation process before substantial curling. Photosystem I electron transport was less inhibited by high-temperature, high-irradiance desiccation than either PSII or whole-chain electron transport and PSI was not significantly affected by restraint of curling during desiccation at 25°C and high irradiance. Previous curling also helped prevent photoinhibition of PSII electron transport and loss of whole-plant photosynthetic capacity as the plants uncurled during rehydration at high light. These results demonstrate that high-temperature desiccation exacerbated photoinhibition, PSI was less photoinhibited than PSII or whole-chain electron transport, and stem curling ameliorated bright light-induced damage helping to make rapid recovery of photosynthetic competence possible when the plants are next wetted. 相似文献

Many industrial wastes contain Cr(VI), a carcinogen and mutagen, the toxicity of which can be ameliorated by reduction to Cr(III). Microbacterium sp. NCIMB 13776 andDesulfovibrio vulgaris NCIMB 8303 reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III) anoxically using 25 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 7), with 25 mM sodium acetate and 25 mM sodium formate as electron donors at 30 °C, under which conditions the rates of reduction of 500 M sodium chromate were 77 and 6 nmol h–1 mg dry cell wt for D. vulgaris and Microbacterium sp., respectively, these being increased to 127 and 17 nmol h–1 mg dry cell wt in the presence of 20 mM MOPS/NaOH buffer. 相似文献

Forty one strains ofRhizobium phaseoli were screened for the ability to multiply at high temperatures on yeast extract-mannitol agar. Most strains were tolerant of 30°C, eight strains were tolerant of 45°C and two of 47°C although the rate of multiplication was reduced at 45–47°C. The high temperature-tolerant strains were isolated from Kenyan soils and were fast-growing. Seven of the eight strains tolerant of 45–47°C lost their infectiveness after incubation at high temperature but four strains tolerant of 40°C remained infective after incubation at that temperature.Thirty six strains were resistant to 200 g ml–1 streptomycin sulphate and 29 strains to 200 g ml–1 spectinomycin dihydrochloride. Eight strains were resistant to both antibiotics each at 200 g ml–1. Two of the double-labelled antibiotic-resistant mutants lost their infectiveness onPhaseolus vulgaris. The response to acidity was unaltered and two of the mutants showed a decrease in temperature tolerance. The doublelabelled mutants were recoverable from two Kenyan soils. 相似文献

This study reports the effects of light availability during the acclimatization phase on photosynthetic characteristics of micropropagated plantlets of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) and of a chestnut hybrid (Castanea sativa × C. crenata). The plantlets were acclimatized for 4 weeks (grapevine) or 6 weeks (chestnut), under two irradiance treatments, 150 and 300 mol m–2 s–1 after in vitro phases at 50 mol m–2 s–1. For both treatments and both species, leaves formed during acclimatization (so-called `new leaves') showed higher photosynthetic capacity than the leaves formed in vitro either under heterotrophic or during acclimatization (so-called `persistent leaves'), although lower than leaves of young potted plants (so-called `greenhouse leaves'). In grapevine, unlike chestnut, net photosynthesis and biomass production increased significantly with increased light availability. Several parameters associated with chlorophyll a fluorescence indicated photoinhibition symptoms in chestnut leaves growing at 300 mol m–2 s–1. The results taken as a whole suggest that 300 mol m–2 s–1 is the upper threshold for acclimatization of chestnut although grapevine showed a better response than chestnut to an increase in light. 相似文献

An obligately anaerobic thermophilic sporeforming sulfate-reducing bacterium, named strain CAMZ, was isolated from a benzoate enrichment from a 58°C thermophilic anaerobic bioreactor. The cells of strain CAMZ were 0.7 m by 2–5 m rods with pointed ends, forming single cells or pairs. Spores were central, spherical, and caused swelling of the cells. The Gram stain was negative. Electron donors used included lactate, pyruvate, acetate and other short chain fatty acids, short chain alcohols, alanine, and H2/CO2. Lactate and pyruvate were oxidized completely to CO2 with sulfate as electron acceptor. Sulfate was required for growth on H2/CO2, and both acetate and sulfide were produced from H2/CO2-sulfate. Sulfate, thiosulfate, or elemental sulfur served as electron acceptors with lactate as the donor while sulfite, nitrate, nitrite, betaine, or a hydrogenotrophic methanogen did not. The optimum temperature for growth of strain CAMZ was 55–60°C and the optimum pH value was 6.5. The specific activities of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase of cells of strain CAMZ grown on lactate, H2/CO2, or acetate with sulfate were 7.2, 18.1, and 30.8 mol methyl viologen reduced min–1 [mg protein]–1, respectively, indicating the presence of the CO/Acetyl-CoA pathway in this organism. The mol%-G+C of strain CAMZ's DNA was 49.7. The new species name Desulfotomaculum thermoacetoxidans is proposed for strain CAMZ. 相似文献
