拟柱孢藻生长及碱性磷酸酶活性对不同磷浓度和磷形态响应的株系间差异

拟柱孢藻(Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii)是热带地区普遍存在的蓝藻种类,近年来广泛扩张到温带地区水体,耐受低磷环境和多生态型的存在被认为是该藻能成功入侵的重要原因.为进一步了解不同藻株对磷波动的生理响应是否存在差异,本研究以广东省镇海水库分离的4株拟柱孢藻(N1、 N8、 N9和N10)为材料,观测它们的生长和碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性在不同无机磷(Pi)浓度(HP=7.13 mg·L~(-1)、 MP=0.64 mg·L~(-1)、 LP=0.03 mg·L~(-1))和磷形态磷酸氢二钾(K_2HPO_4)、焦磷酸钾(K_4P_2O_7)、三聚磷酸钾(K_5P_3O_(10))、 D-葡萄糖-6-磷酸(D-G-6-P)、三磷酸腺苷(ATP)、环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)]的变化.结果表明, 4株拟柱孢藻的生长对Pi浓度变化的响应基本一致,即它们的生物量都随Pi浓度的升高而增加,而ALP活性则反之;无论在LP、MP或HP条件下,N8藻株的ALP活性均显著低于其他3藻株,表明该藻株更能适应环境中的磷波动.在不同磷源培养下,拟柱孢藻N8和N9在3种无机磷下的生物量显著高于3种有机磷组,两者的比生长速率在K_2HPO_4最高,在ATP中最低,这表明拟柱孢藻偏好无机磷,但也能利用有机磷生长;在有机磷源条件下,N8藻株在ATP中的ALP活性显著高于其他2种有机磷,而N9藻株的ALP活性在3种有机磷培养下无显著差异,这表明N8藻株对无机磷缺乏的响应较N9藻株更为敏感.本结果表明来源于同一水库的拟柱孢藻藻株间存在显著差异,其中N8藻株对磷浓度变化的适应及响应能力均高于其它藻株.株系差异性的存在有利于拟柱孢藻适应各种环境变化,增强自身的竞争优势.

Intraspecific Variation in Growth and Alkaline Phosphatase Activity of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii Strains in Response to Different Phosphorus Concentrations and Sources

The cyanobacterial species C. raciborskii are ubiquitous in tropical regions, and its successful invasion into temperate zones has been partially attributed to its ability of survival in low P availability and the existence of multiple ecotypes. To explore the physiological response of different strains to phosphorus fluctuations, four strains of C. raciborskii isolated from the Zhenhai Reservoir were used to investigate their growth and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity at different inorganic phosphorus (Pi) concentrations (HP=7.13 mg ·L^-1, MP=0.64 mg ·L^-1, LP=0.03 mg ·L^-1) and different phosphorus forms dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (K₂HPO₄), sodium pyrophosphate (K₄P₂ O₇), sodium polyphosphate (K₅P₃O₁₀), D-glucose-6-phosphate (D-G-6-P), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)]. Four C. raciborskii strains showed a similar growth response to phosphate changes: their biomass increased with an increase in Pi concentrations, while the ALP activity showed the opposite trend. The ALP activity of C. raciborskii N8 was significantly lower than that of other three strains, regardless of inorganic phosphorus concentrations, suggesting that this strain had a higher adaptability to phosphorus fluctuations. When cultured with different phosphorus forms, the biomass of C. raciborskii N8 and N9 in three dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) compounds were significantly higher than those in three dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) compounds, with the maximum and minimum specific growth rate in K₂HPO₄and ATP treatments, respectively. C. raciborskii preferred DIP although they can also utilize DOP to sustain its growth. Under the DOP conditions, the ALP activity of C. raciborskii N8 in the ATP treatment was significantly higher than that in the other two organic phosphorus compounds, while we did not observe similar results in C. raciborskii N9, indicating that strain N8 was more sensitive to DIP deficiency. Our results showed an intraspecific variation within C. raciborskii strains from the same reservoir. Compared with the other strains, strain N8 represented better adaptability to phosphorus fluctuations and DIP deficiency. Variations within C. raciborskii strains may make this species more adaptable to environmental changes and enhance its competitive advantage.
