Abstract: | Gracilaria lemaneiformis Bory is an economically important alga that is primarily used for agar production. Although tetraspores are ideal seeds for
the cultivation of G. lemaneiformis, the most popular culture method is currently based on vegetative fragments, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
In this study, we optimized the conditions for tetraspore release and evaluated the photosynthetic activities of different
colonies formed from the branches of G. lemaneiformis using a PAM (pulse-amplitude-modulated) measuring system. The results showed that variations in temperature and salinityhad
significant effects on tetraspore yield. However, variations in the photon flux density (from 15 μmol m−2 s−1 to 480 μmol m−2 s−1) had no apparent effect on tetraspore yield. Moreover, the PAM-parameters Y(I), Y(II), ETR(I), ETR(II) and F
v/F
m of colonies formed from different branches showed the same trend: parameter values of first generation branches>second generation
branches>third generation branches. These results suggest that the photosynthetic activities of different colonies of branches
changed with the same trend. Furthermore, photosynthesis in G. lemaneiformis was found to be involved in vegetative reproduction and tetraspore formation. Finally, the first generation branches grew
slowly, but accumulated organic compounds to form large numbers of tetraspores. Taken together, these results showed that
the first generation branches are ideal materials for the release of tetraspores. |
