Chrysophaeum taylorii Lewis & Bryan (Pelagophyceae) is a mucilage‐producing benthic microalga that has recently begun to spread in the Mediterranean Sea, where a range expansion is occurring. This paper presents the results of three field experiments that aimed to increase the knowledge on mucilage provision mechanisms for this benthic microalga and to evaluate the importance of mucilage in its range expansion. By means of two correlative field experiments (several years of data were considered to encompass the variability of mucilage cover) we found that, on the sea bottom, mucilage cover does not depend on epilithic cell density and that both its cover and settling are affected by water flow. We also tested the hypothesis that cells embedded in floating mucilage fall on the underlying substratum, where their abundance depends on water flow. To this aim, in the field we manipulated the presence of floating mucilaginous aggregates in cages with different levels of exposure to winds. The abundance of C. taylorii cells on the substratum under cages with mucilage was compared with that of two control treatments: cages without mucilage and mucilage in still water, in the field and lab, respectively. The results suggested that mucilage can represent an excellent strategy for the species to disperse, as C. taylorii cells fall from the floating mucilage and, if the water flow is unimportant, settle on hard substrata just underneath the cage. This study enriches the portfolio of knowledge of the dispersal strategies of microalgae and contributes to the understanding of the spread of invasive species.  相似文献   

Toxicity and Accumulation of Selenite in Four Microalgae     

王大志  程兆第  李少菁  高亚辉 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2003,21(3):280-285

The toxicity and bioaccumulation of selenite in four microalgae, Spirulina platensis,Dunaliella salina, DunalieUa bardawill and Phaeodactylum tricornutum cultured in the presence of selenite were investigated. Lower concentrations of selenite were generally nontoxic and frequently stimulated algal growth, while higher concentrations of selenite inhibited algal growth. Selenite was more toxic to D. salina and D. bardawill than to S. platensis and P. tricornutum. All algae cultured in selenite were able to incorporate Se to different degrees, which depended on algal species. The distributions of selenite among intracellular macromolecular compounds were different among algal species : most of the selenite was associated with proteins in S. platensis, D. salina and D. bardawill, while most of the selenite was associated with lipids in P. tricornutum, which reflected the physiological differences among the algae. These observations suggest that algae are able to accumulate selenite and bind it with intracell~ar macromolecular compounds when exposed to high concentration of selenite. This may represent a form of storage or detoxification of selenite by the algae.  相似文献

探讨了采用苏丹黑B染料染色处理微藻细胞技术估测微藻油脂含量的可行性.结果表明,微藻细胞经苏丹黑B染色处理后在645 nm光波长处有最大吸收峰值A645,微藻油脂含量与经苏丹黑B染色处理后微藻细胞的吸光值A645呈明显的相关性.建立了考察的7种微藻油脂含量与吸光值A645的线性回归方程,线性关系显著（p〈0.01）.基于藻湿重,微藻油脂含量的线性范围为1.79~39.63 mg/g,估算的相对偏差〈10%.因而,采用苏丹黑B染色处理微藻细胞技术适宜用来检测微藻的油脂含量.  相似文献   

Effect of Fe3+ on the growth and lipid content of Isochrysis galbana     

刘志媛  王广策 《中国海洋湖沼学报》2014,32(1):47-53

Inducing lipid accumulation in microalgae cells without suppressing cell growth is vital to the economical production of biodiesel from microalgae. In two experiments, we demonstrate that the cell concentration and lipid content of marine microalgae Isochrysis galbana depend upon the iron concentration in the growth media. In Experiment I, adding chelated FeCl 3 to the medium at the late exponential growth phase prolonged this phase and increased the lipid content in I. galbana cells. The fi nal cell density and lipid content of I. galbana supplemented with chelated FeCl 3 was approximately 2 and 1.65 times higher than that of non-supplemented cultures, respectively. In Experiment II, I. galbana cells in the late exponential phase were collected and re-inoculated into new media containing Fe 3+ at various concentrations. The fi nal cell concentration and lipid content were maximized at the highest iron concentration(38% biomass by dry weight at 1.2×10-5 mol/L Fe 3+). In this study, intracellular neutral lipid storage was evaluated by fl uorescent spectrophotometry using fl uorochrome Nile red, and the measurement conditions were optimized.  相似文献   

Variation of Bioaccumulation Ability of 2,2’,4,4’- Tetrabromodiphenyl Ether by Marine Diatom Skeletonema costatum Under Different N：P Ratios     

CHAI Chao  GE Wei  YIN Xundong 《中国海洋大学学报(英文版)》2014,13(3):523-530

The growth, biochemical content and bioaccumulation quantity of 2,2’,4,4’-tetrabromodiphenyl ether （BDE-47） in Skeletonema costatum were studied under different N：P ratios （1, 4, 16, 64 and 128）. All cellular biochemical contents of S. costatum presented decreasing trend over cultivation time. At early stage of cultivation, the cellular protein, carbohydrate and lipid in S. co-statum presented higher values in treatments of N：P=4 and 16. However, they were lower in these treatments at the late stage, but higher in treatments N：P=1 and 128. Similarly, BDE-47 levels per cell of S. costatum were higher in treatments of N：P=4 and 16 at early stage of cultivation, which were 3.8 and 3.7 ng （106 cells）-1, respectively. At the middle stage of cultivation, the BDE-47 level per S. costatum cell lowered;and it further reduced in the treatments of N：P=4 and 16 at the late stage with the values 0.6 and 0.5 ng （106 cells）-1, respectively. However, it rose in N：P=128, reaching up to 2.3 ng （106 cells）-1. Compared with BDE-47 per cell, BDE-47 per algal volume under different N：P ratios did not present obvious difference. The quantity BDE-47 accumulated per cell of S. co-statum was positively correlated with protein, carbohydrate and lipid per cell; meanwhile, the BDE-47 per volume had a positive correlation with biochemical content per volume. The variation of bioaccumulation ability of BDE-47 in S. costatum can be ex-plained by biochemical changes due to N：P ratios.  相似文献

Suffocation of pilchards (Sardinops sagax) by a green microalgal bloom in Wellington Harbour,New Zealand     

J. Brian Jones  Lesley L. Rhodes 《新西兰海洋与淡水研究杂志》2013,47(4):379-383

A bloom of the green microalga Tetraselmis sp. in a small lagoon in Wellington Harbour, New Zealand, is considered to have caused a fish kill of pilchards (Sardinops sagax). The fish deaths are attributed to anoxia brought about by a combination of reduced dissolved oxygen levels and the microalgae sticking to and clogging the secondary gill lamellae of the fish.  相似文献   

The effect of nitric oxide on the growth of marine phytoplankton   总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13  

ZHANG Zhengbin  LIN Cai  LIU Chunying  SUN Mingyi  DING HaibingThe Institute of Marine Chemistry  Ocean University of China  Qingdao  P.R.ChinaThe University of Georgia  Department of Marine Sciences  Athen GA   《中国海洋大学学报(英文版)》2003,2(2):185-188

The incubation experiments of Skeletonema costatum, Dicrateria zhanjiangensis nov. sp., and Platymonas sub-cordiformis, and those of Emiliania huxleyi were carried out in the Marine Physical Chemistry Laboratory in Ocean University of China and in the Marine Organic Geochemistry Laboratory in the University of Georgia respectively. Nitric oxide was added into the media when these marine microalgae were growing. We found the growth of these four microalgae were promoted or inhibited when nitric oxide of different concentrations was added one or two times each day during the cultivation process. The results are consistent with the influence of nitric oxide on the growth of high plants. The results show that nitric oxide may be a new factor of regulation and control for the phytoplankton growth in seawater.  相似文献
