Phosphate uptake rates in Synechococcus R-2 in BG-11 media (anitrate-based medium, not phosphate limited) were measured usingcells grown semi-continuously and in continuous culture. Netuptake of phosphate is proportional to external concentration.Growing cells at pHo 10 have a net uptake rate of about 600pmol m2 s1 phosphate, but the isotopic flux for32P phosphate was about 4 nmol m2 s1. There appearsto be a constitutive over-capacity for phosphate uptake. TheKm and Vmax, of the saturable component were not significantlydifferent at pHo 7.5 and 10, hence the transport system probablyrecognizes both H2PO4and HPO24. The intracellularinorganic phosphate concentration is about 3 to 10 mol m3,but there is an intracellular polyphosphate store of about 400mol m3. Intracellular inorganic phosphate is 25 to 50kJ mol1 from electrochemical equilibrium in both thelight and dark and at pHo 7.5 and 10. Phosphate uptake is veryslow in the dark ( 100 pmol m2 s1) and is light-activated(pHo 7.51.3 nmol m2 s1, pHo 10600 pmol m2s1). Uptake has an irreversible requirement for Mg2+in the medium. Uptake in the light is strongly Na+-dependent.Phosphate uptake was negatively electrogenic (net negative chargetaken up when transporting phosphate) at pHo 7.5, but positivelyelectrogenic at pHo 10. This seems to exclude a sodium motiveforce driven mechanism. An ATP-driven phosphate uptake mechanismneeds to have a stoichiometry of one phosphate taken up perATP (1 PO4 in/ATP) to be thermodynamically possible under allthe conditions tested in the present study.

Mesophyll protoplasts of one-month-old maize leaves were separatedenzymatically from bundle sheath strands, and purified by centrifugationthrough a Percoll layer. The protoplasts and BS strands wereessentially pure as judged by microscopy, chl a/b ratios, andlevels of enzyme markers (PEP carboxylase and NADP-malic enzyme).Chioroplasts were obtained from the protoplasts and from homogenates,and purified through Percoll. The distribution of four NAD P-linked dehydrogenases in tissuesand organdies was examined. NADP-triose phosphate dehydrogenasc,used as a chloroplast marker, shows high and comparable specificactivities in both main tissues. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenaseis located mainly in the mesophyll (at a specific activity of15.1 µmol h1 mg1chl in protoplasts) andis exclusively cytosolic. 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase,also present in both tissue types, has a higher activity inthe BS (12.6 in purified strands versus 7.3 µmol h1mg1 chl in protoplasts). It is a cytosolic enzyme, althoughplastids may contain a low activity. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate:NADP reductasc is entirely in the mcsophyll cytoplasm (11.2µmol h1 mg1 chl). It is suggested that thecytoplasm of mcsophyll cells is a site of diversion of sugarphosphates for production of NADPH, at rates, however, compatiblewith the operation of the triose phosphate shuttle to bundlesheath cells for the synthesis of starch.

In Trifolium repens L. there were immediate transient depolarizationsof the membrane electropotential (Evo) when KH2PO4 was addedto phosphate-free media, but these were of the same magnitudeas the controls (K2SO4 and KCI). Furthermore, the extents ofdepolarization were the same as the expected effect of the addedK+ calculated using the Goldman equation. There was no significantdepolarization on adding H3PO4 to buffered media. Consequently,there was no evidence for a depolarization caused by phosphate.This result provides evidence that the H+H2PO4 symportin roots of T. repens operates with a stoichiometry of 1: 1. In a group of control plants ( + P plants) and a group whichwere stressed by reducing the supply of phosphate ( Pplants), the P plants had lower values for Evo than+P plants ( 118 mV and 130 mV, respectively).The absence of phosphate from the measurement media also reducedEvo (mean effect = 9 mV). A significant difference in Evo between P and + P plants persisted when phosphate was addedto P plants. The electropotential difference acrossthe tonoplast (Evo) in P plants became more positivewith time. Key words: White clover, membrane transport, roots, tonoplast, symport 相似文献

Millhouse, J. and Strother, S. 1987. Further characteristicsof salt-dependent bicarbonate use by the seagrass Zostera muelleri.J.exp. Bot. 38: 10551068. The contribution of HCO3to photosynthetic O2 evolutionin the seagrass Zostera muelleri Irmisch ex Aschers. increasedwith increasing salinity of the bathing seawater when the inorganiccarbon concentration was kept constant. K1/2 (seawater salts)for HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis was 66% of seawatersalinity. Both short- and long-term pretreatment at low salinitiesstimulated photosynthesis in full strength seawater. Twentyfour hours pre-incubation of seagrass plants in 3·0 molm3 NaHCO3 resulted in increased photosynthesis at allsalinities, apparently due to stimulation of HCO3 use(K1/2 (seawater salts) = 26%). Vmax (HCO3) was not affectedby low salinity pretreatment. The kinetics of HCO3 stimulationby the major seawater cations was investigated. Ca2+ was themost effective cation with the highest Vmax (HCO3) andwith K1/2(Ca2+) = 14 mol m3. Mg2+ was also very effectiveat less than 50 mol m3 but higher concentrations wereinhibitory. This inhibition cannot be accounted for solely byprecipitation of MgCO3. Na+ and K+ were both capable of stimulatingHCO3 use. Stimulation was in two distinct parts. Up to500 mol m3, both citrate and chloride salts gave similarresults (K1/2(Na+) 81 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3) 0·26µmol O2 mg1 chl min1), but use of citratesalts above 500 mol m2 caused a second stimulation ofHCO3 use (K1/2(Na+) 830 mol m3, Vmax(HCO3)0·68 µmol O2 mg1 chl min1). Vmax(HCO3)for the second-phase Na+ or K+ stimulation was of the same orderas for Ca2+-stimulated HCO3 use. To further characterizesalt-dependent HCO3 use, the sensitivity of photosynthesisto Tris and TES buffers was investigated. The effects of Trisappear to be due to the action of Tris+ causing stimulationof HCO3 -dependent photosynthesis in the absence of salt,but inhibition of HCO3 use in saline media. TES has noeffect on photosynthesis. External carbonic anhydrase, althoughimplicated in salt-dependent HCO3 use in Z. muelleri,could not be detected in whole leaves.

Permeability coefficients (PS values) for CO2 of the plasmamembrane (PM) of the unicellular green algae Eremosphaera viridis,Dunaliella parva, and Dunaliella acidophila, and of mesophyllprotoplasts isolated from Valerianella locusta were determinedfrom 14CO2 uptake experiments using the rapid separation ofcells by the silicone oil layer centrifugation technique. Theexperimental PS values were compared with calculated numbersobtained by interpolation of Collander plots, which are basedon lipid solubility and molecular size, for D. parva cells,mesophyll protoplasts isolated from Spinacia oleracea, mesophyllcells and guard cells of Valerianella, and guard cell protoplastsisolated from Vicia faba. The conductivity of algal plasma membranes for CO2 varies between0.1 and 9 ? 106 m s1, whereas for the plasmalemmaof cells and protoplasts isolated from leaves of higher plantsvalues between 0.3 and 11 ? 106 m s1 were measured.By assuming that these measurements are representative for plantsand algae in general, it is concluded that the CO2 conductivityof algal PM is of the same order of magnitude as that of thehigher plant cell PM. Ps values of plasma membranes for CO2are lower than those for SO2, but are in the same order of magnitudeas those measured for H2O. On the basis of these results itis concluded that theoretical values of about 3000 ? 106m s1 believed to be representative for higher plant cells(Nobel, 1983) and which are frequently used for computer-basedmodels of photosynthesis, lack experimental confirmation andrepresent considerable overestimations. However, with severalsystems, including higher plant cells, the conductance of thePM for CO2 was significantly higher in light than in darkness.This suggests that in light, additional mechanisms for CO2 uptakesuch as facilitated diffusion or active uptake may operate inparallel with diffusional uptake.

Quantitative determinations of chemical composition and oxygenconsumption rates were made for a deep-living population ofthe lobate ctenophore Bolinopsis infundibulum. Animals werecollected in the Gulf of Maine with the submersible Johnson-Sea-Linkduring September 1989 at depths ranging from 120 to 240 m. Carbonand nitrogen contents were similar to values reported for epipelagicctenophores. Lipid and protein levels were lower than valuestypical of epipelagic ctenophores, but higher than those ofmesopelagic species. Carbohydrate was nearly an order of magnitudehigher than previously recorded for B.infundibulum. Oxygen consumptionrates ranged from 0.004 to 0.235 µl O2 mg1 dryweight h at temperatures ranging from 5 to 7°C. Carbon-specificmetabolic rates ranged from 0.21 to 12.73 µl O2 mg1C h1.

Biochemical Limitations to Carbon Assimilation in C3 Plants--A Retrospective Analysis of the A/Ci Curves from 109 Species 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Species-specific differences in the assimilation of atmosphericCO2 depends upon differences in the capacities for the biochemicalreactions that regulate the gas-exchange process. Quantifyingthese differences for more than a few species, however, hasproven difficult. Therefore, to understand better how speciesdiffer in their capacity for CO2 assimilation, a widely usedmodel, capable of partitioning limitations to the activity ofribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase, to the rateof ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate regeneration via electron transport,and to the rate of triose phosphate utilization was used toanalyse 164 previously published A/Ci, curves for 109 C3 plantspecies. Based on this analysis, the maximum rate of carboxylation,Vcmax, ranged from 6µmol m2 s1 for the coniferousspecies Picea abies to 194µmol m2 s1 forthe agricultural species Beta vulgaris, and averaged 64µmolm2 s1 across all species. The maximum rate ofelectron transport, Jmax, ranged from 17µmol m2s1 again for Picea abies to 372µmol m2 s1for the desert annual Malvastrum rotundifolium, and averaged134µmol m2 s1 across all species. A strongpositive correlation between Vcmax and Jmax indicated that theassimilation of CO2 was regulated in a co-ordinated manner bythese two component processes. Of the A/Ci curves analysed,23 showed either an insensitivity or reversed-sensitivity toincreasing CO2 concentration, indicating that CO2 assimilationwas limited by the utilization of triose phosphates. The rateof triose phosphate utilization ranged from 4·9 µmolm2 s1 for the tropical perennial Tabebuia roseato 20·1 µmol m2 s1 for the weedyannual Xanthium strumarium, and averaged 10·1 µmolm2 s1 across all species. Despite what at first glance would appear to be a wide rangeof estimates for the biochemical capacities that regulate CO2assimilation, separating these species-specific results intothose of broad plant categories revealed that Vcmax and Jmaxwere in general higher for herbaceous annuals than they werefor woody perennials. For annuals, Vcmax and Jmax averaged 75and 154 µmol m2 s1, while for perennialsthese same two parameters averaged only 44 and 97 µmolm2 s1, respectively. Although these differencesbetween groups may be coincidental, such an observation pointsto differences between annuals and perennials in either theavailability or allocation of resources to the gas-exchangeprocess.

Growth and Phosphate Transport in Barley and Tomato Plants During the Development of, and Recovery from, Phosphate-stress 总被引:12,自引:2,他引:10
Barley and tomato plants were cultured in nutrient solutionsincluding 0.15 mol m3 H2PO4. The phosphate supplywas discontinued and the subsequent effects on growth, internalphosphorus concentrations, phosphate absorption and translocationwere measured at frequent intervals. Growth rates were at firstunchanged and the internal phosphorus concentration decreased.During this phase the rate of phosphate transport by the rootssometimes increased significantly. Growth slowed more in shootsthan in roots during a second phase of stress development andvisual symptoms of deficiency appeared in tomato but not inbarley. During this phase, enhancement of phosphate uptake capacityreached a maximum in both species. The subsequent decline inuptake capacity was associated with visible symptoms of deficiencydeveloping in barley and intensifying in tomato. When stressedplants were returned to a solution containing 0.15 mol m3H2PO4 rapid absorption continued for several days afterthe internal phosphorus concentration had returned to the levelof the controls. Phosphate toxicity may have been the causeof leaf lesions and necrosis during the recoveryphase. Stomatal conductance in tomato was decreased at an early stageof stress development. Foliar-applied phosphate was absorbedmore rapidly by P-stressed barley leaves than by their controlsand much larger amounts were translocated from the leaves tothe roots. 相似文献

Guard cell protoplasts were isolated enzymatically from theepidermis of Vicia faba L. and their photosynthetic activitieswere investigated. Time courses of light-induced changes inthe chlorophyll a fluorescence intensity of these protoplastsshowed essentially the same induction kinetics as found formesophyll protoplasts of Vicia. The transient change in thefluorescence intensity was affected by DCMU, an inhibitor ofphotosystem II; by phenylmercuric acetate, an inhibitor of ferredoxinand ferredoxin NADP reductase; and by methyl viologen, an acceptorof photosystem I. Low temperature (77 K) emission spectra ofthe protoplasts had peaks at 684 and 735 nm and a shoulder near695 nm. A high O2 uptake (175 µmol mg1 Chl hr1)was observed in guard cell protoplasts kept in darkness, whichwas inhibited by 2 mM KCN or NaN3 by about 60%. On illumination,this O2 uptake was partially or completely suppressed, but itssuppression was removed by DCMU, which indicates that oxygenwas evolved (150 µmol mg1 Chl hr1) photosynthetically.We concluded that both photosystems I and II function in guardcell chloroplasts and that these protoplasts have high respiratoryactivity.

Woodrow, L. and Grodzinski, B. 1987. Ethylene evolution trombracts and leaves ol Poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.J.exp. Bot. 38: 20242032. Ethylene release from fully expanded, red and white bracts andleaves of poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd., was compared.On a laminar (area) basis leaves contained about 50 times morechlorophyll and demonstrated 10 times the photosynthetic rateof the bracts. Both tissues contained starch, however, solublecarbohydrate in the bracts consisted primarily of reducing hexoseswhile the leaves contained mainly sucrose for translocation.The total free alpha-amino nitrogen content of the bract tissuewas twice that of the leaf tissue. The leaves contained moreACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) and produced proportionallymore endogenous C2H4 than either the red or white bracts. ACC-stimulated2H4 release was also greatest from the green tissue indicatingthat the EFE (ethylene forming enzyme) was most active in theleaves. The specific activity of the 14C2H4/12C2H4 releasedfrom [2,3-14C]ACC confirmed ACC as the primary precursor ofC2H4 in this tissue. Ethylene release from the non-photosynthetic,bract tissue was not markedly affected by alterations in CO2or light conditions. In green leaf tissue endogeneous ethylenerelease increased from 1·5 to 6·0 pmol C2H4 cm2h1 while ACC-stimulated ethylene release increased from10 to 35 pmol C2H4 cm2 h1 as the CO2 partial pressureincreased from 100 to 1 200 µbar.

Two approaches to quantifying relationships between nutrientsupply and plant growth were compared with respect to growth,partitioning, uptake and assimilation of NO3 by non-nodulatedpea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Marma). Plants grown in flowing solutionculture were supplied with NO3 at relative addition rates(RAR) of 0·03, 0·06, 0·12, and 0·18d1, or constant external concentrations ([NO3)of 3, 10, 20, and 100 mmol m3 over 19 d. Following acclimation,relative growth rates (RGR)approached the corresponding RARbetween 0·030.12 d-1, although growth was notlimited by N supply at RAR =0.18 d-1. Growth rates showed littlechange with [NO3] between 10100 mmol m3(RGR=0·15 0·16 d-1). The absence of growthlimitation over this range was suggested by high unit absorptionrates of NO3, accumulation of NO3 in tissues andprogressive increases in shoot: root ratio. Rates of net uptakeof NO3 from 1 mol m3 solutions were assessed relativeto the growth-related requirement for NO3, showing thatthe relative uptake capacity increased with RGR between 0·030·06d1 , but decreased thereafter to a theoretical minimumvalue at RGR 相似文献

Possible physiological mechanisms for production of hydrogen peroxide by the ichthyotoxic flagellate Heterosigma akashiwo 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Blooms of the toxic red tide phytoplankton Heterosigma akashiwo(Raphidophyceae) are responsible for substantial losses withinthe aquaculture industry. The toxicological mechanisms of H.akashiwoblooms are complex and to date, heavily debated. One putativetype of ichthyotoxin includes the production of reactive oxygenspecies (ROS) that could alter gill structure and function,resulting in asphyxiation. In this study, we investigated thepotential of H.akashiwo to produce extracellular hydrogen peroxide,and have investigated which cellular processes are responsiblefor this production. Within all experiments, H.akashiwo producedsubstantial amounts of hydrogen peroxide (up to 7.6 pmol min1104 cells1), resulting in extracellular concentrationsof ~0.5 µmol l1 H2O2. Measured rates of hydrogenperoxide production were directly proportional to cell density,but at higher cell densities, accuracy of H2O2 detection wasreduced. Whereas light intensity did not alter H2O2 production,rates of production were stimulated when temperature was elevated.Hydrogen peroxide production was not only dependent on growthphase, but also was regulated by the availability of iron inthe medium. Reduction of total iron to 1 nmol l1 enhancedthe production of H2O2 relative to iron replete conditions (10µmol l1 iron). From this, we collectively concludethat production of extracellular H2O2 by H.akashiwo occurs througha metabolic pathway that is not directly linked to photosynthesis. 相似文献

Compartmental analysis was used to study content and transmembranefluxes of phosphate in excised root segments in a nutrient solutioncontaining 1.0 mol phosphate m3, at pH 5.6. The resultingradioactivity content versus time curve deviated from the criteriadetermining a relationship conforming to first order kinetics,since the final rate constant was an order of magnitude lowerthan that exhibited by the curve for efflux versus time. Thedata were manipulated so as to bring about conformation to theappropriate criteria, revealing a large, slowly exchanging poolthat is considered to represent assimilated phosphate or storedpolyphosphate. Subsequent calculations, using the modified data,suggested that H2PO4 was absorbed by a phosphate pump at theplasmalemma, but was actively extruded from the vacuole afterpassive entry. The consequences of pH effects in the cell wall,cytoplasm and vacuole in determining the concentration of H2PO4in each phase are discussed. Key words: Phosphate compartmentation, pH, efflux 相似文献

Calcium Inhibits Ion-Stimulated Stomatal Opening in Epidermal Strips of Commelina communis L. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Inoue, H. and Katoh, Y. 1987. Calcium inhibitsion-stimulatedstomatal opening in epidermal strips of Commelina communis L.J.exp. Bot. 38: 142149. Ca2+ suppressed both the ion-stimulated stomatal opening andH+ extrusion of pre-illuminated epidermal strips isolated fromCommelina communis L. In the absence of Ca2+, the rate of H+release was 18 nmol H+ cm2 h1 per epidermal stripunit area in 150 mol m3 KCL at pH 7?4. Half-maximum inhibitionof stomatal opening was observed with 220 mmol m3 ofCa2+. The hexavalent dye, ruthenium red, showed concentration-dependentprevention of the inhibition by Ca2+ of the ion-stimulated stomatalopening. The effect of ruthenium red was non-competitive, andthe K1 for the calcium inhibition was found to be 3?6 mmol m3.The calcium inhibition of H+ extrusion was also prevented byruthenium red. These results suggest that Ca2+ inhibits theactivity of electrogenic H+ translocating ATPase of the guardcell plasma membrane and leads to the suppression of stomatalopening.

The addition of Braun and Wood's inorganic supplements (845mg l1 KCl, 1800 mgl1 NaNO3, 300 mg l1 NaH2PO4.2H2O,790 mg l1 (NH4)2SO4) to White's medium caused markedincreases in the growth of normal tissues of Helianthus annuus,Nicotiana rustica, Daucus carota, and Vinca rosea and crown-galltumour tissues of H. annuus. However, no evidence was obtainedwhich suggested that the presence of these extra salts markedlyinfluenced the essential requirements of normal callus for auxinsand kinetin. In contrast their presence significantly influencedthe hormonal requirements of certain habituated cultures ofH. annuus and V. rosea. These habituated cultures had specificauxin requirements on White's medium while either an auxin orkinetin was sufficient on high-salts medium. These results arediscussed in relation to previous reports which suggested thatthe biosyntheses of auxins and other growth factors in normaland crown-gall cultures are specifically activated by certaininorganic ions. 相似文献

Acid phosphatase role in chickpea/maize intercropping 总被引:7,自引:1,他引:6
Background and aims Organic P comprises 3080 %of the total P in most agricultural soils. It has been proventhat chickpea facilitates P uptake from an organic P sourceby intercropped wheat. In this study, acid phosphatase excretedfrom chickpea roots is quantified and the contribution of acidphosphatase to the facilitation of P uptake by intercroppedmaize receiving phytate is examined. Methods For the first experiment using hydroponics, maize(Zea mays Zhongdan No. 2) and chickpea (Cicerarietinum Sona) were grown in either the sameor separate containers, and P was supplied as phytate, KH2PO4at 0·25 mmol P L1, or not at all. The second experimentinvolved soil culture with three types of root separation betweenthe two species: (1) plastic sheet, (2) nylon mesh, and (3)no barrier. Maize plants were grown in one compartment and chickpeain the other. Phosphorus was supplied as phytate, Ca(H2PO4)2at 50 mg P kg1, or no P added. Key results In the hydroponics study, the total P uptakeby intercropped maize supplied with phytate was 2·1-foldgreater than when it was grown as a monoculture. In the soilexperiment, when supplied with phytate, total P uptake by maizewith mesh barrier and without root barrier was 2·2 and1·5 times, respectively, as much as that with solid barrier.In both experiments, roots of both maize and chickpea suppliedwith phytate and no P secreted more acid phosphatase than thosewith KH2PO4 or Ca(H2PO4)2. However, average acid phosphataseactivity of chickpea roots supplied with phytate was 23-foldas much as maize. Soil acid phosphatase activity in the rhizosphereof chickpea was also significantly higher than maize regardlessof P sources. Conclusions Chickpea can mobilize organic P in both hydroponicand soil cultures, leading to an interspecific facilitationin utilization of organic P in maize/chickpea intercropping. 相似文献

The relationships between photosynthesis and photosyntheticphoton flux densities (PPFD, P-l) were studied during a red-tideof Dinophysis norvegica (July-August 1990) in Bedford Basin.Dinophysis norvegica, together with other dinoflagellates suchas Gonyaulax digitate, Ceratium tripos, contributed {small tilde}50%of the phytoplankton biomass that attained a maximum of 16.7µg Chla 1 and 11.93 106 total cells I1.The atomic ratios of carbon to nitrogen for D.norvegica rangedfrom 8.7 to 10.0. The photosynthetic characteristics of fractionatedphytoplankton (>30 µm) dominated by D.norvegica weresimilar to natural bloom assemblages: o (the initial slope ofthe P-l curves) ranged between 0.013 and 0.047 µg C [µgChla]1 h1 [µmol m s1]1the maximum photosynthetic rate, pBm, between 0.66 and 1.85µg C [µghla]1 h1; lk (the photoadaptationindex) from 14 to 69 µ,mol m2 s1. Carbonuptake rates of the isolated cells of D.norvegica (at 780 µmolm2 s1) ranged from 16 to 25 pg C cell1h and were lower than those for C.tripos, G.digitaleand some other dinoflagellates. The variation in carbon uptakerates of isolated cells of D.norvegica corresponded with PBmof the red-tide phytoplankton assemblages in the P-l experiments.Our study showed that D.norvegica, a toxigenic dinoflagellate,was the main contributor to the primary production in the bloom. 相似文献

With young leaves, but not with fully-expanded leaves, the RuBP carboxylase activityextracted was increased by prolonged illumination of the leaves(2 h). The main effect of the light treatment was to increasethe specific activity of the enzyme but there was also a smallincrease in RuBP carboxylase protein. Tomato leaf RuBP carboxylasein extracts had specific activities in the range 0.206µmol CO2 min1 mg-1 total protein extracted,or 0.51.2 µmol CO2 min1 mg1 RuBPcarboxylase, and an apparent Km (CO2) at 20 ?C of 9.3 ? 1.2µM (using a of 6.407).

Factors controlling primary production in a hypertrophic lake (Hartbeespoort Dam, South Africa) 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The physical factors controlling algal primary production weredemonstrated from data collected for a hypertrophic lake. Amaxranged between 12.4 and 5916 mg C m3 h1. Arealrates (A) varied between 46.9 and 3381 mg C m2 h1.The factors permitting and controlling production were subjectivelyseparated into two categories. In category 1, nutrients (N +P), which were in overabundance, permitted large standing cropsof Microcystis aeruginosa to develop (>1000 µg chla 11). Wind patterns determined the dramatic spatialand temporal changes in algal standing crop which could dropto 2.7 µg chl a 11. In category 2 were the factorswhich affected the rate processes. The buoyancy mechanism ofMicrocystis usually kept the alga in the euphotic zone. A powerrelationship (r = 0.92, n = 54) between A and Amax/min showedthat with increasing phytoplankton vertical stratification,Amax was increasingly important in the integral. The saturationparameter IK and photosynthetic capacity were temperature dependent.Variations of A were significantly related to changes in watercolumn stability (g cm cm2) because both axes of thephotosynthesis depth-profile were affected by stability changes. 相似文献
