6株蓝藻伪空胞的临界破裂压力研究

通过改进的压力毛细管法,研究了6株蓝藻伪空胞的临界破裂压力,并研究了过滤（真空度为0.02 MPa）和离心（离心力低于500 r/min）2种细胞浓缩方法对细胞内伪空胞含量测定的影响.结果表明,对于分散的单细胞的微囊藻,无论是采用过滤还是离心的方法,都难以达到理想的浓缩效果;对于群体形态的微囊藻,可以采用离心的方法进行浓缩,对于丝状的浮游蓝丝藻,宜采用过滤的方法进行浓缩. 此2种浓缩方法对细胞伪空胞含量的测定影响很小,伪空胞破裂率<7％. 6株蓝藻均为浅水湖泊藻类,由于长期自然选择的结果,6株蓝藻伪空胞的临界破裂压力比较接近. 5株微囊藻伪空胞的临界破裂压力为0.64～0.67 MPa之间;孟氏浮游蓝丝藻伪空胞的临界破裂压力为0.715 MPa,与深水湖泊或水库的蓝藻相比,6株蓝藻的伪空胞平均临界破裂压力均较小;在相同光照和温度条件下,单细胞微囊藻的膨压比群体微囊藻的膨压略大.

Critical Collapse Pressure of Gas Vesicles in Six Strains of Cyanobacteria

Two methods including filtration (vacuity is 0.02 MPa) and centrifugation (<500 r/min) were applied to concentrate algal biomass, and capillary compression tube and the concentrated algae suspensions, critical pressure distribution of gas vesicles in six cyanobacteria were also investigated. The results showed that unicellular Microcystis aeruginosa cells couldn't be concentrated effectively by filtration or centrifugation, but colony of Microcystis wesenbergii and Microcystis flosaquae, and filament of Planktothrix mougeotii could be concentrated by centrifugation and filtration respectively. Both filtration and centrifugation had a negligibly impact on gas vesicles content of cells, and the loss of gas vesicles was lower than 7%. The mean critical pressure values of five strains Microcystis were very close, which ranged from 0.64 to 0.67 MPa, and the mean critical pressure of P. mougeotii was 0.715 MPa. All of the six cyanobacteria were isolated from three shallow lakes, and their mean critical pressure values were lower than those cyanobacteria that inhabit in deep lakes or reservoirs. At the same condition of illumination density and temperature, turgor pressures of two unicellular Microcystis were higher than those of colonial Microcystis.
