氮磷等营养盐对尖刺拟菱形藻生长的影响

尖刺拟菱形藻Pseudo-nitzschiapungensHalse是我国沿海常见的赤潮生物。通过对采集和分离于珠江口大亚湾海域的尖刺拟菱形藻藻种,在实验室条件下,研究不同浓度氮、磷等营养盐限制下该藻生长增殖的关系和特征,以及氮磷比(c(N)/c(P))变化等对该藻生长的影响。实验结果表明:尖刺拟菱形藻对氮、磷的依赖性较强,随浓度的变化而变化,属于营养依赖型藻类。实验进一步发现,尖刺拟菱形藻的生长对氮、磷的需求并不是越多越好,而要求有一定的比例范围,得出c(N)/c(P)在10～32范围内有相对较大的生长,而当c(N)/c(P)<5或c(N)/c(P)>100时,尖刺拟菱形藻的生长明显受到抑制。     

环介导恒温扩增技术快速检测短凯伦藻

短凯伦藻(Karenia brevis)是一种有毒赤潮微藻,所产生的短藻毒素对海洋生物乃至人类都有毒害作用,为加强对短凯伦藻赤潮的监控,建立了稳定的短凯伦藻环介导恒温扩增(LAMP)鉴定体系,在此基础上进行了特异性和灵敏性验证.特异性实验结果显示只有短凯伦藻或者含短凯伦藻的模板呈现阳性反应,其他微藻为阴性反应,从而验证了该LAMP方法的特异性;同时,对短凯伦藻的基因组DNA进行一系列10倍稀释作为敏感度实验的模板,并与常规PCR做了对比,结果表明:短凯伦藻的LAMP方法最低检测限度为50 pg,敏感度比常规PCR高10倍.LAMP产物鉴定不需要常规的胶电泳过程,直接采用肉眼观察的方法,在含有短凯伦藻的阳性反应管中会出现白色混浊,加入SYBRòGreen I染料呈现绿色,而未含有短凯伦藻的阴性管为澄清,染色后仍为原来的橙色.因此,该方法操作简便、特异性强、灵敏度高而成本低,在赤潮原因种检测监控方面具有良好的应用前景.     

不同氮源对4种海洋微藻生长的影响

采用实验室一次性培养的方法,研究了硝氮、氨氮、尿素和混合氨基酸等4种不同氮源对典型赤潮藻赤潮异弯藻Heterosigma akashiwo、凯伦藻Karenia sp.、球形棕囊藻Phaeocystis globosa和常见浮游植物优势种类角毛藻Chaetoceros sp.生长的影响。结果表明,这4种海洋微藻不仅能利用无机氮硝氮和氨氮,而且也均能利用有机氮尿素和混合氨基酸。赤潮异弯藻、凯伦藻和角毛藻均在以硝氮为唯一氮源时,比生长速率分别达到最大值0.45、0.52和0.70 d-1;而球形棕囊藻在以硝氮和尿素为唯一氮源时,比生长速率均达最大值0.65 d-1。可溶性有机氮库中的重要组成成分尿素和氨基酸均能显著促进4种海洋微藻的生长;相比较而言,赤潮异弯藻和凯伦藻更加喜好有机氮氨基酸,而球形棕囊藻和角毛藻更加喜好尿素。海洋微藻具备利用有机氮源的能力,无疑扩展了其氮营养来源,在无机氮缺乏而有机氮丰富的水体中,它们在浮游植物群落中更具有竞争优势。

菌藻共培养对栅藻去除生活污水中氮磷和脂质积累的影响

对栅藻分别进行自养和菌藻共培养.自养利用BG11液体培养基,菌藻共培养则采用生活污水,对生活污水I和生活污水Ⅱ进行高压灭菌和未灭菌处理.测定栅藻的生长、去除污水中氮磷能力、甘油三酯积累、光合作用和菌群多样性等.结果显示,自养比菌藻共培养表现出更高的生长速率和更多的色素含量,但菌藻共培养条件下有更高的氮磷去除和油脂积累.特别是生活污水Ⅱ中,甘油三酯浓度比自养提高了140.05 mg·L^-1、107.65 mg·L^-1,总脂含量分别提高了6.62%、19.46%,但在自养情况下碳水化合物含量达到了45.05%.菌藻共培养中氮磷的去除率较高,其中氨氮的去除率均达到了90%以上.利用高通量测序对未灭菌污水的菌群多样性进行测定,结果显示,YG-2群落丰富度和物种多样性最高,对于抵抗外界环境变化较有利.主导菌群为变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、拟杆菌门(Bacteroidetes),有助于污染物的降解.脂质积累较多的污水中菌群物种组成相对丰度在脂肪酸合成起始途径、脂肪酸延伸饱和、霉菌酸盐生物合成等脂肪酸生物合成的二级途径都较大,说明细菌对脂肪酸...     

氮输入对沼泽湿地植物生长和氮吸收的影响

氮是湿地植物生长必不可少的营养元素之一,但当外源氮输入超出植物生长需要时,氮素将抑制植物生长。不同植物对氮输入的响应不同,同一植物不同器官对氮输入的响应也不一致。为了探讨氮输入对湿地植物生长和氮吸收的影响机制,本文选取滇西北典型湖泊湿地纳帕海湖滨挺水植物茭草（Zizania caduciflora）和水葱（Scirpus validus）为对象,通过控制实验,研究了3个不同氮输入水平[0 g·m-2·a-1（对照,CK）、20 g·m-2·a-1（N20）、40 g·m-2·a-1（N40）]对茭草和水葱生物量积累、根冠比、氮吸收的影响。结果表明：培养期内,茭草地上生物量始终表现为N40〉N20〉CK,即氮输入促进茭草地上生物量积累;而水葱地上生物量随培养时间不同而发生变化,培养早期N20处理促进水葱地上生物量积累,N40处理抑制水葱地上生物量积累。茭草地下生物量表现为N40〉CK〉N20,即氮输入不足抑制茭草地下生物量积累,足够氮输入促进茭草地下生物量积累;水葱地下生物量表现为CK〉N20〉N40,即氮输入抑制水葱地下生物量积累。植物地上部分和地下部分生长对氮输入的响应也不一致,导致植物根冠比发生变化,茭草根冠比表现为N20     

Cu和Pb对赤潮异弯藻(Heterosigma akashiwo)生长的影响

以添加了不同浓度的CuSO_4和Pb(NO_3)_2混合液的f/2培养基培养赤潮异弯藻,通过分析藻的最大生长密度、生长周期及比生长率这3个参数与Cu和Pb之间的相关关系,讨论2种重金属对赤潮异弯藻生长的影响以及2种重金属之间的互作效应。结果表明,Cu为0～0.02 mg·L~(-1)或Pb为0～0.32 mg·L~(-1)时,对赤潮异弯藻生长有促进作用;当Pb浓度不同的条件下,Cu浓度达到0.5～2.5 mg·L~(-1)时,赤潮异弯藻生长受到明显抑制,甚至无法生长;在Cu浓度不同的条件下,Pb在1～9 mg·L~(-1)范围内,随着浓度的增加,对赤潮异弯藻生长抑制作用逐步增强。在Cu浓度为0～2.5 mg·L~(-1)或Pb浓度为1～9 mg·L~(-1)及两者互作条件下,赤潮异弯藻最大生长密度和生长周期都受到显著影响(P0.01)。另外,Cu和Pb对赤潮异弯藻比生长率无显著影响,两者相互作用不明显。结合湛江海域已报道的这2种重金属实际含量,进一步评估了海区中重金属的潜在生态效应。     

微生物和硬毛藻对天鹅湖不同湖区沉积物氮磷释放的影响

荣成天鹅湖为一天然瀉湖,近年来绿潮硬毛藻大量爆发,内源污染日益严重。以大型硬毛藻和不同湖区沉积物为试材,设置沉积物+水、沉积物+水(灭菌)、沉积物+水+藻、沉积物+水+藻(灭菌)4个处理,研究了不同微生物活性及藻类条件下上覆水体氮磷质量浓度的变化,同步监测水土界面DO和pH等理化参数,以探讨藻分解和微生物对天鹅湖不同湖区沉积物氮磷释放的影响,为藻华消亡过程中内源污染的治理提供理论依据。结果表明,微生物存在和硬毛藻分解可使水体氮质量浓度明显增加(P<0.05)。试验过程中,水体总氮在有藻和无藻条件下的质量浓度变幅分别为1.56-14.11 mg·L^?1和0.11-8.96 mg·L^?1,后期灭菌处理明显低于未灭菌处理。藻分解对水体磷质量浓度具有极显著影响(P<0.01),有藻条件下灭菌处理总磷质量浓度为0.31-1.27 mg·L^?1,未灭菌处理为0.27-1.41 mg·L^?1;而无藻条件下灭菌和未灭菌处理变幅分别为0.019-0.047 mg·L^?1和0.025-0.078 mg·L^?1。在天鹅湖,不同湖区沉积物氮磷的释放能力存在差异,水体氮质量浓度在有藻和无藻条件下均表现为西北部>湖中心>湖南部,磷质量浓度有藻条件下与氮一致,而无藻条件下则表现为湖中心>西北部>湖南部。湖中心沉积物处理水体营养盐浓度受微生物活性影响较大。3种因素对水体氮磷质量浓度的影响效应表现为:藻类>微生物>沉积物。可见,在藻类大量暴发且微生物活性较高的湖中心及西北部,沉积物氮磷的释放潜力较大,尤其在藻类堆积腐烂时期,应引起足够重视。     

模拟氮沉降对大豆萌发和幼苗生长的影响

氮沉降是当今倍受关注的全球性环境问题.采用大田试验和室内培养的方法,研究大豆种子萌发和幼苗生长对氮沉降的响应.实验设4组处理(CK、T1、T2、T3),所施氮肥为NH4NO3,在室内培养实验中,4组处理的浓度分别为0、0.08、0.16、0.24mol/L.大田实验中,4组处理的氮施入量分别为0,50,100,150 kg·hm-2·a-1.结果表明:过量氮沉降对种子萌发有一定的抑制作用,降低了种子的发芽速度和发芽率;抑制了幼苗的生长速度,降低了植株的株高、叶面积和生物量,并减小了根冠比;随着氮施入量的增加幼苗的蒸腾速率逐渐降低,但叶片叶绿素含量逐渐增加.     

Effects of nitrogen addition on the growth of the salt marsh grassElymus athericus

Effects of nitrogen addition on the growth of the salt marsh grassElymus athericus were studied under greenhouse conditions. The addition of inorganic nitrogen (in the form of nitrate or ammonium and ranging from 0–24 g N/m²) stimulated the growth ofElymus athericus at the highest addition. Addition of nitrogen led to an increase of the soil nitrate concentrations both in the nitrate and ammonium treated soil in the first period of the experiment, whereas no differences were present at the end of the experiment. Ammonium in the ammonium treatments was transformed to nitrate within 15 days. In another experiment the values of the stable isotope nitrogen-15—expressed as δ¹⁵N-in nitrogen compounds used as fertilizer, in salt marsh soil and ofElymus athericus were measured. The δ¹⁵N of the N-compounds added (between ?3.2 and +2.6‰) were lower than the soil (ca.+10‰) and plants (ca.+8‰). During growth in water culture the δ¹⁵N of the leaves, stems and roots ofElymus athericus decreased from +9‰ to ?1‰. The latter value was close to the °¹⁵N of the N-compounds used in the water solution. Addition of N-compounds in soil culture, however, did not lead to such a decrease of the °¹⁵N ofElymus athericus. The difference in δ¹⁵N between soil nitrogen and the N-compounds added may be too small to be used successfully in ecological studies of nitrogen fluxes in the salt marsh environment.     

Effects of changing climate on water and nitrogen availability with implications on the productivity of Norway spruce stands in Southern Finland

An integrated process-based model was used to study how the changing climate affects the availability of water and nitrogen, and consequently the dynamics of productivity of Norway spruce (Picea abies) on sites with different initial soil water conditions in southern Finland over a 100-year period. The sensitivity of the total stem volume growth in relation to short-term availability of water and nitrogen was also analyzed. We found that a high proportion (about 88–92%) of the total precipitation was lost in total evapotranspiration (incl. canopy evaporation (E_c), transpiration (E_t) and ground surface evaporation (E_g)), under both current and changing climate. Furthermore, under the changing climate the cumulative amount of E_c and E_g were significantly higher, while E_t was largely lower than under the current climate. Additionally, the elevated temperature and increased expansion of needle area index (L) enhanced E_c. Under the changing climate, the increasing soil water deficit (W_d) reduced the canopy stomatal conductance (g_cs), the E_t, humus yield (H, available nitrogen source) and nitrogen uptake (N_up) of the trees. During the latter phases of the simulation period, the canopy net photosynthesis (P_nc) was lower due to the reduced N_up and soil water availability. This also reduced the total stem volume production (V_s) on the site with the lower initial soil moisture content. The growth was slightly more sensitive to the change in precipitation than to the change in nitrogen content of the needles, when the elevated temperature was assumed. According to our findings, drought stress episodes may become more frequent under the changing climate. Thus, adaptive management strategies should be developed to sustain the productivity of Norway spruce in these conditions, and thus, to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change.     

Effects of temperature and food availability on growth and reproduction in the neustonic pedunculate barnacle Lepas anserifera

To elucidate the life history of neustonic animals, growth and reproductive patterns were investigated in the hermaphroditic pedunculate barnacle Lepas anserifera in field and laboratory experiments in Wakayama, western Japan from 2006 to 2008. The effects of temperature (19, 24 or 29°C) and food availability (once or twice a week) on growth and reproduction were also studied in the laboratory. The barnacles grew and matured rapidly, especially in the field: individuals on the average grew from 3 mm to more than 12 mm in capitulum length within 15 days and some were brooding. High temperature and high food availability resulted in greater growth. High temperature also resulted in earlier maturation of both testes and ovaries, whereas the effect of food availability was less clear. The rapid growth and maturation, together with earlier maturation at higher temperatures, may be an adaptation to ephemeral floating objects to which they attach.     

Effects of methionine sulfoximine on growth and nitrogen assimilation of the marine microalga Chlorella autotrophica

Chlorella autotrophica Shihira and Krauss (clone 580), a euryhaline microalga from the marine coastal environment is subject to large fluctuations in external salinity and nitrogen supply. The alga exhibits maximum growth at salinities lower than 100% ASW (artificial seawater). Cells divide faster and show higher cell yields when the supply of either NH ₄ ⁺ or NO ₃ ^- is increased above 0.2 mM. Cells growing on NH ₄ ⁺ show high levels of NADPH-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activity, and the levels of glutamine synthetase (GS) are decreased to very low levels under these conditions. Methionine sulfoximine (MSX), an inhibitor of GS, has little effect on cell division and nitrogen assimilation of cells growing on NH ₄ ⁺ . Cells growing on NO ₃ ^- , however, show marked inhibition (65%) in nitrogen assimilation in the presence of 5 mM MSX. This MSX concentration also causes growth retardation and a progressive decrease in cell protein and nitrogen content. GS is almost completely inhibited by 5 mM MSX in both NH ₄ ⁺ and NO ₃ ^- -grown cells. Cells growing on NH ₄ ⁺ maintain high levels of NADPH-GDH activity in the presence of MSX. NADPH-GDH activity in MSX-treated NO ₃ ^- -grown cells increases, and, in the presence of 5 mM MSX, reaches 40% of the level found in NH ₄ ⁺ -grown cells. These results are consistent with NADPH-GDH providing an alternate pathway for NH ₄ ⁺ assimilation by this marine Chlorella species.     

氮沉降对杉木人工林生长及林下植被碳库的影响

在12年生的杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)人工林中开展5年的模拟氮沉降试验,氮沉降水平分别为NO(对照)、N1、N2、N3,N沉降量依次为0、60、120、240 kg·hm-2·a-1,研究氮沉降增加对林木胸径、树高生长及林下植被碳库的影响.在氮沉降试验的前3年,N0、N1、N2、N3处理样地林木平均胸径年增长率分别为3.52%、3.77%、4.32%和4.55%,表明胸径增长随氮沉降水平的增加而增加.各处理样地平均树高年增长率依次为9.95%、10.02%、9.34%和7.99%,说明中-高氮处理(N2、N3)抑制了树高的生长;在氮沉降试验的后2年,各处理样地林木平均胸径年增长率分别为3.65%、4.52%、2.46%和3.55%,树高年增长率分别为7.19%、8.28%、6.41%和6.33%,表明低氮处理(N1)促进了林木的生长,而中-高氮处理在一定程度上抑制了林木生长.各处理样地的林下植被碳储量由大到小的顺序为NO、N1、:N2、N3,与对照相比,N1、N2、N3处理使林下植被碳储量分别降低了0.164.、0.373和0.482 t·hm-2,平均每年减少C 0.041、0.093和0.120 t·hm-2,相当于N1、N2和N3处理使林下植被每年吸存的二氧化碳量减少了0.151、0.342和0.441kg·hm-2.
