EFFECT OF NITRATE AND PHOSPHATE ON ACCUMULATION OF β-CAROTENE ISOMERS IN DUNALIELLA SALINA

DunaIiella salina, a halotolerent unicellular green alga, can accurmulate a Iarge amount of β-caroteneunder environmental conditions. The isorners of β-carotene extIacted from D. salina culturedin medium with different nitrate and phosphate concentrations were analysed by HPLC with Alox-Talumins column. At least six isomers were found in different proportions depending on the culture me-dia's nitrate and/or phosphate concentrations. Nitrate and/or phosphae defidency was conducive tothe accumulation of totaI cis isomers but not of al1 trans isomer. lt is sUggeSted that 1 mmol/L KNO_3and 0.1 mmol/L KH_2, PO_4 are favourable for accumulation of total cis β-carotene.     

Triassic Nb-enriched basalts, magnesian andesites, and adakites of the Qiangtang terrane (Central Tibet): evidence for metasomatism by slab-derived melts in the mantle wedge

New chronological, geochemical, and isotopic data are reported for Triassic (219–236 Ma) adakite-magnesian andesite-Nb-enriched basaltic rock associations from the Tuotuohe area, central Qiangtang terrane. The adakites and magnesian andesites are characterized by high Sr/Y (25–45), La/Yb (14–42) and Na₂O/K₂O (12–49) ratios, high Al₂O₃ (15.34–18.28 wt%) and moderate to high Sr concentrations (220–498 ppm) and ε_ND (t) (+0.86 to +1.21) values. Low enrichments of Th, Rb relative to Nb, and subequal normalized Nb and La contents, and enrichments of light rare earth elements combine to distinguish a group of Nb-enriched basaltic rocks (NEBs). They have positive ε_ND (t) (+2.57 to +5.16) values. Positive correlations between Th, La and Nb and an absence of negative Nb anomalies on mantle normalized plots indicate the NEBs are products of a mantle source metasomatized by a slab melt rather than by hydrous fluids. A continuous compositional variation between adakites and magnesian andesites confirms slab melt interaction with mantle peridotite. The spatial association of the NEBs with adakites and magnesian andesites define an “adakitic metasomatic volcanic series” recognized in many demonstrably subduction-related environments (e.g., Mindanao arc, Philippines; Kamchatka arc, Russia; and southern Baja California arc, Mexico). The age of the Touhuohe suite, and its correlation with Triassic NEB to the north indicates that volcanism derived from subduction-modified mantle was abundant prior to 220 Ma in the central Qiangtang terrane.     

嵩县螃蟹沟隐爆角砾岩体与钼金矿化成因探讨

螃蟹沟隐爆角砾岩体是河南省嵩县西北部众多含钼、金角砾岩体之一,这些角砾岩体具有成群、成带分布的特点.螃蟹沟角砾岩体的定位与分布受北西向背形、北西向和北东向断裂构造的复合控制,由燕山期钙碱性岩体与岩脉的侵入,以及随后发生的隐蔽爆发-坍塌作用而生成了角砾岩体.其中包括了震碎角砾岩、隐爆角砾岩、侵入角砾岩及坍塌角砾岩.岩体被后期断裂构造作用所复合叠加,致使钼、金富集成矿,形成"多型一体"的钼金矿床.

The relationship between tidal current field and sediment transport in the Huanghai Sea and the Bohai Sea

-Based on a two-dimensional numerical M2 tidal model of the Huanghai and Bohai Seas, sediment transport of particles with different sizes in the computational area is given. It is concluded that tidal currents play an important role in sediment transport and deposition in the Huanghai and Bohai Seas.     

紫外线照射剂量对九孔鲍胚胎及幼虫的影响

采用不同的紫外线照射剂量的海水诱导九孔鲍产卵,观察其对卵子的受精率、畸形率和孵化率的影响.紫外线照射剂量的配制方法是:用紫外线照射过的最大剂量的海水与新鲜海水混合配制出各种剂量的海水.实验把雌亲鲍分成7组,每组20只,分别用紫外线照射剂量为0(对照组)、450、600、750、900、1 050和1 200mW.h/dm3的海水进行刺激产卵.试验重复3次.结果表明,紫外线照射剂量在1 200mW.h/dm3以内,对卵子的受精率影响不大;紫外线照射剂量在750mW.h/dm3以内,对卵子的畸形率影响不大,但在900~1 200mW.h/dm3,对卵子的畸形率影响很大;紫外线照射剂量在600mW.h/dm3以内,对卵子的孵化率没有什么影响,但在750~1 200mW.h/dm3,对卵子的孵化率影响很大.综合考虑卵子的受精率、畸形率和孵化率,九孔鲍催产的适宜的紫外线照射剂量应为450~750mW.h/dm3.
