温度和盐度对条纹环沟藻(Gyrodinium instriatum)生长的影响

在实验室条件下,研究了温度和盐度对条纹环沟藻(Gyrodinium instriatum)生长的影响。在28个温度(15～30℃)和盐度(0～35)组合中,条纹环沟藻在20℃和盐度25下生长最好。适宜生长温度为20～25℃,盐度为20～25。在适宜的盐度下,藻细胞对高/低温度的忍耐能力增强,同样适宜温度也可促进藻细胞对高/低盐度的抵抗能力。条纹环沟藻不能在无盐环境生长,但在适温下(20～25℃),能在盐度为10的条件下生长。研究结果说明条纹环沟藻是一种广盐生物,能适应较低的盐度,这也是其赤潮多在低盐的河口海域发生的重要原因。     

光照强度和光照周期对赤潮异弯藻生长的影响

以赤潮异弯藻(Heterosigma akashiwo)为实验对象,在光照强度分别为3 000 lx和12 000 lx下,设置24 L∶0 D、18 L∶6 D、12 L∶12 D、6 L∶18 D和0 L∶24 D 5组不同的光照周期,测定赤潮异弯藻的生长情况。结果表明,当光照强度为3 000 lx时,赤潮异弯藻会持续9～14 d的生长,然后生长进入衰退期。当光照强度为12 000 lx时,赤潮异弯藻会持续16～20 d的生长,之后生长进入衰退期。并且,无论是光照强度为3 000 lx还是12 000 lx,当光照周期为18 L∶6 D时,都最有利于赤潮异弯藻的生长;而当光照周期为0 L∶24 D时,赤潮异弯藻几乎不生长。     

青海湖介形虫壳体丰度与氧碳同位素的季节和年际变化及其控制因素——来自沉积物捕获器的研究

介形类对其生活的水体环境极其敏感,其壳体的物质几乎全部来自水体,因此壳体的化学组成常常用来反演古气候环境,然而对于青海湖介形虫壳体不同组成的控制因素存在诸多争议和不确定性。本文以沉积物捕获器在青海湖于2010年7月至2011年10月期间获得的介形虫样品为研究对象,结合CTD同步监测的湖水环境参数,探讨了青海湖现生的两个种属介形虫（意外湖花介和胖真星介）丰度和氧、碳同位素（δ¹⁸O、δ¹³C）的季节和年际变化特征及各自控制因素。结果表明,意外湖花介壳体的丰度比胖真星介的高一个数量级,但青海湖两种介形虫出现和丰度变化均受湖水温度直接控制。意外湖花介和胖真星介壳体的δ¹⁸O和δ¹³C均存在明显的年际和季节性变化及种属差异,而同步沉淀的自生碳酸盐却有较为均一的δ¹⁸O组成;两个种属介形虫壳体δ¹⁸O的年际差异是夏季水温系统差异的直接表现,而δ¹⁸O的季节性变化并不受控于降水和蒸发（P/E）比率,而可能主要与由高温诱发的大量自生碳酸盐沉淀有关;青海湖介形虫壳体δ¹³C的变化并不是单一因素控制的结果,可能也与湖水温度、自生碳酸盐沉淀等因素有关。本研究提出的自生碳酸盐沉淀对介形虫壳体δ¹⁸O和δ¹³C的控制作用,对于我们认识青海湖介形虫的环境意义及沉积物中介形虫壳体化学组成的古环境信息提取具有重要的启示意义。     

藻量对湖泊富营养化监测指标的影响探讨

对滇池外海藻量较为集中的区域,用塑料薄膜围一封闭的水体,避免水量交换。在水面下分3层（0.5m、1.0m、1.5m）进行不同采样点和不同水深的水质监测,得出藻类在水中的纵向分布规律。通过进行滤除藻前、后水样的分析,发现藻类的存在会导致水样监测结果偏高。在此基础上对富营养化水体监测应注意的问题进行了分析与讨论。     

优势硅藻和定鞭金藻不同生长阶段光合色素比值变化

基于高效液相色谱(HPLC)技术分析了8种定鞭金藻、2种硅藻在对数生长期的光合色素组成,比较了中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum)、路氏巴夫藻(Pavlova lutheri)和湛江叉鞭金藻(Dicrateria zhanjiangensis)在不同生长阶段主要光合色素组成和比值的变化。实验结果表明:8种定鞭金藻根据光合色素19’-已酰基氧化岩藻黄素的存在与否可分为两类,其中不含19’-已酰基氧化岩藻黄素的定鞭金藻与硅藻光合色素组成相似。通过对比不同生长阶段的样品发现稳定期硅藻(中肋骨条藻)中叶绿素c1+c2,岩藻黄素、硅甲藻黄素与总叶绿素a比值显著高于它们在定鞭金藻(路氏巴夫藻、湛江叉鞭金藻)中与叶绿素a的比值(P<0.05),并且随培养时间延长而增大,而路氏巴夫藻、湛江叉鞭金藻中叶绿素c1+c2,岩藻黄素、硅甲藻黄素与总叶绿素a比值则一直维持在较低水平。该结果可以作为基于CHEMTAX软件的化学分类法的依据,以提高定量分析硅藻和定鞭金藻的准确性。     

营养盐水平对念珠藻胞外有机物产生的影响

以我国湖泊典型固氮蓝藻发状念珠藻(Nostoc flagelliforme)为研究对象,考察了氮、磷营养盐对发状念珠藻生长特性及其胞外有机物产生的影响.采用藻细胞浓度计数法表征发状念珠藻生长特性;分别采用溶解性有机碳(DOC)、三维荧光光谱(EEM)和紫外-可见光谱法,从总量和主要物质方面分析了发状念珠藻胞外有机物的产生规律.结果表明,在不同氮、磷营养水平下,发状念珠藻的4个关键生长时期基本相同,氮是控制发状念珠藻生长的关键营养控制要素;氮营养元素浓度的增高,有利于发状念珠藻产生胞外有机物,其产生量逐渐增大,而磷营养元素浓度的增高对胞外有机物产生量贡献较小,氮营养盐是发状念珠藻产生胞外有机物的关键限制因子;通过EEM谱图分析,发状念珠藻胞外有机物主要以类氨基酸类物质和类富里酸物质为主.以磷为控制营养盐时,类富里酸是主要的胞外有机物之一,以氮为控制营养盐时,类富里酸产生量极低;作为主要的胞外有机物,蛋白质和碳水化合物的产生规律显著不同,其中蛋白质含量显著高于碳水化合物含量.

Competition of bloom-forming marine phytoplankton at low nutrient concentrations

Competition of three bloom-forming marine phytoplankton (diatom Skeletonema costatum, and dinoflagellates Prorocentrum minimum and Alexandrium tamarense) was studied through a series of multispecies cultures with di erent nitrate (NaNO3) and phosphate (NaH2PO4) levels and excess silicate to interpret red tide algae succession. S. costatum outgrew the other two dinoflagellates in nitrate and phosphate replete cultures with 10 mol/L Na2SiO3. Under nitrate limited (8.82 mol/L NaNO3) conditions, the growth of S. costatum was also dominant when phosphate concentrations were from 3.6 to 108 mol/L. Cell density of the two dinoflagellates only increased slightly, to less than 400 and 600 cells/mL, respectively. Cell density of S. costatum decreased with time before day 12, and then increased to 4000 cells/mL (1.5 mg/L dry biomass) at NaNO3 concentrations between 88.2 and 882 mol/L with limited phosphate (0.36 mol/L NaH2PO4) levels. In addition, P. minimum grew well with a maximal cell density of 1690–2100 cells/mL (0.5–0.6 mg/L dry biomass). Although S. costatum initially grew fast, its cell density decreased quickly with time later in the growth phase and the two dinoflagellates were dominant under the nitrate-limited and high nitrate conditions with limited phosphate. These results indicated that the diatom was a poor competitor compared to the two dinoflagellates under limited phosphate; however, it grew well under limited nitrate when growth of the dinoflagellates was near detection limits.     

Efficacy of natural biocide on control of microbial induced corrosion in oil pipelines mediated by Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Desulfovibrio gigas

We compared the efficacy of a natural biocide with four chemical tetrakishydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfonate, benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, and formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, to control microbial induced corrosion in oil pipelines. The efficacy of biocides were monitored against Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Desulfovibrio gigas in experimental pipes by measuring cell counts, H2S production, Fe(II) production, production of extracellular polymeric substances and structure of biofilm. The treatment with cow urine had minimum planktonic cell counts of 3 102 CFU/mL as well as biofilm cell counts of 9 101 CFU/mL as compared with tetrakishydroxyl methyl phosphonium sulfonate, benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde. Sulfide production was the lowest with cow urine (0.08 mmol/L), followed by tetrakishydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfonate 0.72 mmol/L. On day 90 of treatment, Fe(II) production was also found to be the lowest with cow urine. The scanning electron microscopic studies indicated that the biofilm bacteria were killed by cow urine. These results demonstrate the cow urine mediated control of microbially induced corrosion, and this is indicative of its potential as a viable substitute of toxic biocides. To the best of our knowledge, this seems to be the first report which screens possible biocidal activity by cow urine as compared to the most common biocides which oil industry is currently using.
