The capability of the algaeChlorella vulgaris andScenedesmus obliquus of utilizing amino acids as the sole nitrogen source

The capability of utilizing 20 amino acids and 2 amides as the sole nitrogen source for growth was studied in two green algae (Chlorophyceae). A comparison was made of the growth rate of algae in a mineral nutrient solution containing nitrate as the nitrogen source, with that in the same solution in which nitrogen in the form of nitrate was substituted by an equivalent nitrogen amount in the form of various amino acids. In addition to this, another series of experiments was carried out in whioh both culture media were supplied with glucose. The results show that both algae utilize a series of amino acids in dependence of their structure (mostly 3-carbon amino acids). The growth rate ofChlorella in the presence of these sources is the same as in nitrate, that ofScenedesmus even much higher. In the cultures containing glucose both algal species exhibit a higher growth rate in the media with the nitrate nitrogen source than in those with amino acids (with the exception of glycine inScenedesmus).     

Recovery from ethyl methanesulphonate-induced genetical damage in barley. Independence of sodium azide treatment

Barley seeds were treated for 3 h at 25°C with 240 mM ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS), washed for 18 h, treated with various concentrations of unbuffered sodium azide (pH 6.7–7.3) for 3 h at 25°C, re-dried to 30% water content and either sown immediately or stored at 25°C for 12 days and then sown. The synergistic action of sodium azide post-treatment has been demonstrated only for the EMS-induced M₁ germination reduction, while the EMS-induced M₁ sterility and the yield of M₂ chlorophyll mutants were unaffected. The ?storage” recovery from EMS-induced mutagenic effects was insensitive to sodium azide post-treatment. The 12 day-seed storage at 25°C brought about an improvement of M₁ germination, M₁ survival, M₁ fertility and a decrease in the amount of M₂ mutants, regardless of whether sodium azide post-treatment was applied or not.

Summary A population sample of 416 unrelated donors from eské Budjovice (southorn Bohemia) was investigated for the phenotypes of phosphoglucomutase (PGM). The calculated frequencies of the allelles PGM ₁ ¹ and PGM ₁ ² , 0.770 and 0.230, respectively, correspond to the expected frequencies of the phenotypes PGM 1=0.593, PGM 2-1=0.354, and PGM 2=0.0529. No rare phonotype was detected.

缙云山4种林分土壤无机磷与活性铝的含量及分布

为探索不同林分对土壤中无机磷与活性铝的含量及分布的影响,以及无机磷与活性铝之间的相互关系,以在我国西南地区酸性土壤上的农林经营管理提供理论和实践依据。研究以缙云山广泛分布的4种林分类型：山莓、马尾松、楠竹和柑橘林土壤为对象,采用酸性土壤无机磷分级方法和铝试剂比色法测定了土壤剖面A、B和C层中各形态的无机磷与活性铝的含量,分析了不同林分土壤中无机磷和活性铝的含量和分布特征。结果表明,林分类型显著影响土壤中无机磷与活性铝的含量与分布,且铁磷(Fe-P)、交换态铝(Ex-Al)和羟基铝(Hy-Al)的含量和比例还受到土壤层次的影响。4种林分相比,山莓林能促进闭蓄态磷(O-P)的形成,而马尾松、楠竹和柑橘林则有利于Al-P、Fe-P和Ca-P的形成;柑橘林有利于低活性的腐殖酸铝(Al-AH)形成,而山莓、马尾松和楠竹林促进高活性的Ex-Al或Hy-Al溶出;Ex-Al、Al-P和Fe-P在土层的分布上有表层富集现象,而Hy-Al集中分布于B层。此外,土壤Ex-Al和Al-P与Fe-P之间,Hy-Al和Ca-P之间均呈显著(P<0.05)正相关。因此,林分类型显著影响土壤无机磷与活性铝的含...     

基于地表水与地下水分割校正的漓江流域水供给服务时空格局研究

喀斯特区域水循环过程与其他地区存在显著区别,其水供给服务也具有独特的空间分布特征。然而,目前针对喀斯特地区产水量的时空变化研究较少考虑喀斯特生态系统的特殊性,导致产水量的空间模拟结果存在一定偏差。根据喀斯特地貌形态和地下水补径排泄特征提出了一种产水量分割方法,并基于水量平衡原理建立了地表水与地下水分割校正概念模型。选取喀斯特山区典型区域漓江流域为研究区,通过上述方法校正了InVEST模型产水量模拟结果,从栅格、地貌分区和子流域3个尺度分析了漓江流域2000—2020年产水量校正前与校正后时空分布格局。研究结果表明：(1)漓江流域2000—2020年InVEST模型产水量呈现先减后增再减的趋势,水供给服务空间分布格局为北高南低。产水深度在岩溶区和非岩溶区几乎没有差异,但在岩溶区内部差异明显：裸露型岩溶区产水深度高于覆盖型和埋藏型,峰林平原产水深度高于峰丛洼地。子流域分区平均产水深度排序为漓江上游区>漓江中游区>恭城河区>荔浦河区>漓江下游区。(2)利用地表与地下水分割校正后,水供给服务空间分布格局为四周高于中部,西北部高于东南部。非岩溶区产水深度明显高于岩溶区,埋...     

黄土高原不同人工林型微生物残体碳对土壤有机碳组分的积累贡献及影响因素

为探究不同人工林型微生物残体碳(Microbial necromass carbon, MNC)对土壤有机碳组分的积累贡献及影响因素,在黄土高原选取刺槐林、山杏林、油松林为研究对象,分析了三种人工林0-60 cm土层真菌残体碳(Fungal necromass carbon, FNC)、细菌残体碳(Bacterial necromass carbon, BNC)、MNC对颗粒态有机碳(Particulate organic carbon, POC)和矿物结合态有机碳(Mineral-associated organic carbon, MAOC)的积累贡献及其影响因素。结果表明:(1)三种人工林POC、MAOC中FNC、BNC、MNC含量均随土层深度的增加而降低;(2)刺槐林和山杏林MNC对MAOC的积累贡献(60.9%,52.0%)高于POC(33.5%,49.5%),其中FNC对MAOC的积累贡献分别是BNC的4.4和2.5倍,油松林在0-10 cm土层MNC对POC的积累贡献(73.8%)高于MAOC(48.2%),其中FNC对POC的积累贡献是BNC的3.5倍,而在10-60 cm土层MNC对MAOC的积累贡献(30.9%)高于POC(24.4%),其中FNC对MAOC的积累贡献是BNC的3.4倍;(3)总有机碳和全氮含量与MNC/POC、MNC/MAOC呈显著正相关关系(P ＜ 0.05),黏粒含量与MNC/MAOC呈显著正相关关系(P ＜ 0.05),pH值、砂粒含量与MNC/MAOC呈显著负相关关系(P ＜ 0.05)。说明黄土高原三种人工林0-60 cm土层MNC主要贡献MAOC的积累,油松林0-10cm土层除外,且与细菌残体碳相比,真菌残体碳在土壤有机碳组分积累中的贡献更大,土壤总有机碳、全氮、黏粒、砂粒含量、pH值是影响该区不同人工林型微生物残体碳贡献土壤有机碳组分积累的主要因素。
