Fatty acid composition of marine macroalgae from the Black Sea and Dardanelles

The fatty acid (FA) composition was determined in 14 species of marine macroalgae belonging to the Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta and Rhodophyta, which were collected from ?ile in the Black Sea and Kepez in the Dardanelles. Generally, polyunsaturated FAs and monounsaturated FAs were major components (50–77%). Total saturated FAs ranged from 22% to 50%, with 16?:?0 as the most abundant saturate (32–38%). Two samples of Cystoseira barbata collected from a different station had some differences from each other in their contents of 18?:?2n-6 and 18?:?3n-3 and in the 18?:?2n-6/20?:?4n-6 ratios. Green algal species had a significantly higher proportion of unsaturated FAs and a significantly lower proportion of saturated FAs than the red and brown algae. The amount of n-3 FAs was significantly higher in Ulva rigita, Chaetomorpha linum, Enteromorpha linza and Gracilaria verrucosa (8.88, 6.44, 5.31 and 5.24, respectively).     

硒对紫球藻生长及光谱特性的影响

低浓度的硒可以促进微藻的生长,为了探讨硒对紫球藻生长和光谱特性的影响,研究了在通入压缩空气的条件下,不同质量浓度的硒(0、0.05、0.5、1、2、5、10和50mg·L-1)添加到紫球藻(Porphyridium UTEX637)培养基中,培养20d的生长情况,以及紫球藻吸收光谱和低温荧光光谱的特征应。结果表明:不同质量浓度Se(Ⅳ)对紫球藻的特征吸收峰位和荧光峰位没有影响,低质量浓度Se(Ⅳ)对紫球藻的生长具有明显地促进作用,高质量浓度时抑制紫球藻的生长。含0.05和0.5mg·L-1Se(Ⅳ)的实验组紫球藻的吸收光谱特征峰值明显高于对照组,而1和5mg·L-1Se(Ⅳ)质量浓度实验组的特征峰值则低于对照组。0.05和0.5mg·L-1Se(Ⅳ)质量浓度实验组的荧光发射(激发波长为436nm,560nm)光谱的特征峰值与对照相比没有明显变化,但激发波长为490nm时,荧光发射光谱特征峰值高与对照组。与对照组相比,1,2和5mg·L-1Se(Ⅳ)实验组紫球藻的荧光光谱特征峰值均有不同程度的降低。10和50mg·L-1实验组紫球藻死亡。说明低质量浓度Se(Ⅳ)对紫球藻捕光色素蛋白复合体的捕光能力具有促进作用,高质量浓度有抑制作用。
