Irradiation of the growing apex of the algaVaucheria terrestris Götz var.terrestris with blue light (BL), which causes a transient acceleration of growth, also causes a large transient increase in inwardly directed current, which was monitored with a vibrating probe. The growing apex is normally the site of an inward current, and the surface of the non-growing, basal part of the coenocytic cell the site of an outward current. Irradiation of the apex causes only a slight increase in current efflux at the basal part of the cell. The BL-promoted current influx at the apex (BLCI) usually starts within 10 s after the onset of irradiation, preceding the light-growth response. With BL pulses shorter than 3 min, the BLCI reaches a maximum in about 3 min, and then declines to its original value over the next 3 min. If the BL pulse is longer than 3 min, the BLCI continues until the light is turned off. The threshold energy of the BLCI with broad-band BL is 2–5 J·m-2, i.e. smaller than for both the light-growth response and phototropic response. The maximum BLCI reaches a value of approx. 5 A·cm-2, equivalent to an influx of 50 pmol·cm-2·s-1 of monovalent cations. The effect of red light (RL) is completely different from that of BL: it either causes increases in the inward current of less than 0.3 A·cm-2, or a transient decrease of current. Furthermore, the direction of the RL-induced change is always the same at the apex and trunk, indicating the participation of photosynthesis. Our results indicate that the BLCI is kinetically and spatially related to the light-growth response and the phototropic bending ofVaucheria. It seems to be a necessary step for the phototropic bending.Abbreviations APW

The ultrastructure of a Xanthonema strain featuring multinucleate cells was investigated by transmission electron microscopy. An important specific feature of the organisation of the photosynthetic apparatus in this strain is its association with mitochondrial profiles. The chloroplast girdle is composed of two different U-shaped lamellae, one peripheral and one subcentral. Multinuclearity is observed as often as the uninucleate state. The transition from the uninucleate to the multinucleate stage is connected to disturbances in the normal division pattern of the parietal chloroplast-mitochondria complex during interphase. As a result mitosis is not coordinated with cytokinesis. The return to the uninucleate stage occurs as a result of asynchronous cytokinesis or by aplanospore formation. Mitosis is of the semi-closed type, as in Tribonema. Centrioles replicate in early interphase, after the end of karyokinesis and progeny nuclei separate with the aid of CER invagination. Filament fragmentation takes place between neighbouring cells where two U-shaped segments adjoin, resulting in fragment ends being rounded rather than ‘zweispitzig’. The taxonomic significance of various ultrastructural features for the classification of filamentous Xanthophyta is discussed. 相似文献

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was found to be the principle biogenic sulfur compound in a freshwater environment. Endemic and non-endemic algae were cultured under axenic and nonaxenic conditions in defined media. Sulfur gas analysis of culture fluids indicated that members of the Cyanophyta were probable sources of DMS whereas representatives of the divisions Chlorophyta, Xanthophyta and Bacillariophyta apparently did not produce this compound. Comparison of gaseous contents of young and old nonaxenic cultures of filamentous algae in the divisions Chlorophyta and Xanthophyta showed DMS occurred only in aged cultures and was probably produced by bacteria utilizing substances from senescent algal cells. Data suggest that the composition of the algal community determines whether DMS is algal and/or bacterial in origin. 相似文献

Several algae that were previously classified in the phylum Xanthophyta (yellow-green algae) were assigned in 1971 to a new
phylum, Eustigmatophyta. It was anticipated that the number of algae reclassified to Eustigmatophyta would increase. However,
due to the fact that the morphological characteristics that segregate eustigmatophytes from other closely related algae can
be only obtained through laborious electron microscopic techniques, the number of members in this phylum have increased rather
slowly. We attempted, therefore, to segregate two closely related groups of algae, eustigmatophytes and yellow-green algae,
on the basis of a molecular phylogenetic tree as a means of providing an alternative method of distinguishing these phyla.
We analyzed the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COXI) gene sequences of eight algae classified as xanthophyceans and found that six manifested the expected deviant genetic code
where AUA codes for methionine (AUA/Met), but not for isoleucine (AUA/Ile) as in the universal genetic code. The other two,
Monodus sp. (CCMP 505) and Ophiocytium majus (CCAP 855/1), which were presumed to be yellow-green algae, and all the examined eustigmatophytes utilized AUA for Ile. In
addition, the phylogenetic tree of COXI gene sequences showed that the six yellow-green algae bearing the AUA/Met deviant code composed a tight clade with a bootstrap
value of 100%. The phylogenetic tree of the corresponding sequences from Monodus sp. and Ophiocytium majus and the eustigmatophytes also composed a tight cluster, but with a bootstrap value of 92%. These results strongly suggest
that two previously classified members of yellow-green algae belong to the phylum Eustigmatophyta. Therefore, examination
of the mitochondrial genetic code in algae appears to be a potentially very useful genetic marker for classifying these organisms,
especially when it is considered with the results obtained through a molecular phylogenetic tree.
