基于qPCR技术的黄东海沙海蜇时空分布特征研究

沙海蜇(Nemopilema nomurai)是东亚海域常见的大型水母,近年来其频繁大规模暴发导致了严重灾害。本文利用荧光定量PCR方法分析了2012年10月、2013年5月、8月和9月黄海、东海海区沙海蜇线粒体16S rDNA(mt-16S rDNA)的浓度和分布特征。研究表明,沙海蜇mt-16S rDNA在4个调查月份中均有检出,最早于5月上旬在长江口近岸出现较高检出值,检出浓度的高值区与长江口近岸温度高值区和盐度低值区位置一致;2013年8月的检出浓度在4个调查月中最高,检出浓度的高值区与温度高值区位置一致;2012年10月的检出浓度最低,检出浓度的高值区与温度低值区位置一致。从8月到10月沙海蜇mt-16S rDNA的浓度高值区呈由南向北转移的趋势,这与已有研究中沙海蜇水母体丰度分布趋势相吻合。2013年8月和9月的分层次采样结果显示,在大部分站位的底层水体中沙海蜇mt-16S rDNA浓度较高,这可能与沙海蜇成体或微小个体的沉降或垂直移动有关。研究结果表明,荧光定量PCR检测技术可实现水体中水母DNA定量检测,可以弥补传统拖网调查方法的不足,为全面了解水母的时空分布及水母栖息...     

溶解有机物的光降解及其对浮游细菌和浮游植物的影响

作为海洋中最大的动态有机碳储库,溶解有机物的光降解(主要是紫外波段)对生源要素的生物地球化学循环以及海洋生态系统的结构和功能具有重要的影响。本文探讨了影响溶解有机物光降解的环境因素、其光化学过程和产物,并重点阐述了溶解有机物的光降解对浮游细菌和浮游植物的影响。溶解有机物的来源和成分复杂,其光降解在不同海区有不同的生态效应,为了能更准确地把握其生态效应,需要更全面和深入的研究。     

沙海蜇(Nemopilema nomurai)代谢及分解过程对水环境理化因子及浮游植物影响的研究

从上行控制角度,通过野外采样和围隔培养实验,研究了水母的代谢及分解过程对水体环境中pH、溶解氧、营养盐组成的影响,以及该过程中浮游植物的变化。实验结果表明,沙海蜇在代谢过程中短时间内会大量消耗水体中的溶解氧（dissolved oxygen,DO）,使水体出现低氧和轻度酸化。代谢过程释放出大量营养盐,使水体中的溶解无机氮（dissolved inorganic nitrogen,DIN）浓度在24h内增加为原来的12倍,溶解无机磷（dissolved inorganic phosphorus,DIP）浓度增加了40多倍,进而引起水体中叶绿素a（chlorophyll a,chl a）浓度的增加。沙海蜇的分解过程使水体表现出明显的低氧（缺氧）和酸化现象。沙海蜇生物量越大,分解时间越长,对水体的改变程度越明显,此外,还释放出大量的营养盐并改变原有的营养盐结构,可以刺激甲藻和绿藻的生长,甚至可能引发藻华。     

水母(沙海蜇)降解与营养盐(氮、磷)释放的模拟与实证

The aim of this study was to investigate nitrogen and phosphorus released in the process of the decomposition of giant jellyfish in the laboratory and found the evidence to verify the influence of nutrients released by the decomposition of jellyfish on the ecosystem in the field. The release of nitrogen and phosphorus from the decomposition of Nemopilema nomurai was examined in a series of experiments under different incubation conditions such as different p H values, salinity values, temperatures and nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations. The results showed that the complete decomposition of Nemopilema nomurai generally took about 4–8 d. The release of nitrogen and phosphorus from the decomposition of Nemopilema nomurai could be divided into two stages: the early stage and the later stage, although the efflux rate of nitrogen was one order more than phosphorus. In the early stage of the decomposition of Nemopilema nomurai, the concentrations of dissolved nitrogen, dissolved phosphorus, total nitrogen and total phosphorus in seawater increased rapidly, and the concentration of nitrogen could reach the highest level in the whole degradation process. In the later stage of the decomposition, the concentrations of dissolved nitrogen and total nitrogen declined slowly, while the concentration of phosphorus in water could reach a maximum in the degradation process. High p H, low salinity,high temperature and N/P will promote the release of nitrogen; low p H is unfavorable to the release of nitrogen but favorable to the release of phosphorus. In addition, we found the concentrations of ammonium and phosphate in the bottom water were higher than those in the surface water during the period of jellyfish bloom in the Jiaozhou Bay, proving that nutrients released by the decomposition of jellyfish have significant influence on nitrogen and phosphorus in the field. For the whole Yellow Sea, nutrients released by jellyfish carcasses may reach up to(2.63±2.98)×107 mol/d of dissolved nitrogen(DN) and(0.74±0.84)×106 mol/d of dissolved phosphorus(DP) during the period of jellyfish bloom. The values are comparable to riverine inputs in a day, but much higher than sediment–water exchange flux in the Yellow Sea. The great amounts of nutrients must have significant influence on the nutrients balance of the Yellow Sea during the period of jellyfish dead and decomposition. Both the experimental data and field observations proved that the decomposition of jellyfish may release a great amount of nutrient to the surrounding environment during the period of jellyfish decomposition.     

The relationship between volatile halocarbons and phytoplankton pigments during a Trichodesmium bloom in the coastal eastern Arabian Sea

Eukaryotic phytoplankton such as diatoms and prymnesiophytes produce biogenic halocarbons in the ocean that serve as important sources of chlorine and bromine to the atmosphere, but the role of cyanobacteria in halocarbon production is not well established. We studied distributions of chloroform (CHCl₃), carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄), methylene bromide (CH₂Br₂) and bromoform (CHBr₃) in relation to phytoplankton composition, determined from pigment analysis complemented by microscopic examination, for one month in coastal waters of the eastern Arabian that experienced a Trichodesmium bloom that typically occurs during the Spring Intermonsoon season. High concentrations of zeaxanthin (23 μg l⁻¹), alpha beta betacarotene (6 μg l⁻¹) and chlorophyll a (67 μg l⁻¹) were found within the bloom whereas the marker pigment concentrations were low outside the bloom. CHCl₃ and CCl₄ occurred in relatively high concentrations in surface waters whereas CH₂Br₂ and CHBr₃ were restricted to the subsurface layer. Chlorinated halocarbons were positively inter-correlated and with CHBr₃. The observed spatial and temporal trends in brominated compounds appear to be related to the abundance of Trichodesmium although correlations between concentrations of brominated compounds with various marker pigments were poor and statistically non-significant. The results support the existence of multiple sources and sinks of halogenated compounds, which might obscure the relationship between halocarbons and phytoplankton composition.     

模拟研究沙海蜇消亡过程中海水pH 变化及对海水酸化的影响

通过室内模拟实验,研究了不同pH、盐度、温度和氮磷比控制条件下沙海蜇(Nemopilema nomurai)消亡过程中水体pH的变化特征及对海水酸化的影响.结果表明,沙海蜇块体分解会造成pH的显著降低,水体出现明显酸化.随着沙海蜇的分解,本底海水组(本底海水+实验用沙海蜇)水体pH呈现先下降,后缓慢回升直至稳定的趋势,并在第2天形成最小值,且水体pH下降0.5～1.3.沙海蜇块体在不同pH、盐度、氮磷比、温度控制条件下分解时,水体pH变化趋势相似,均表现为先下降,达到最小值后再缓慢回升,但不同控制条件下水体pH出现最小值的时间并不一致,从先到后的顺序是温度组(第3天)、pH和盐度组(第4天)及氮磷比组(第5天),这与沙海蜇块体分解速率顺序一致.沙海蜇分解过程中,这4个实验组水体pH下降0.5～1.8,水体发生明显的酸化,这其中海水盐度、pH的变化及温度的降低所导致的沙海蜇消亡过程中海水酸化程度比较严重;因此,在当今海水富营养化及海水温度升高的情况下,沙海蜇的暴发及其消亡会造成海洋生态系统遭受更严重的破坏.     

海蜇dmrta2基因的克隆及其在横裂生殖中的表达分析

Dmrt基因家族在后生动物性别决定与分化以及组织和器官的形成等发育过程中发挥着重要作用。为探究dmrt家族基因在海蜇(Rhopilema esculentum)横裂生殖中的功能,本研究以海蜇转录组测序获得的dmrta2基因片段为基础,通过RACE技术获得了海蜇dmrta2基因的cDNA全长,并分析了其在横裂生殖不同时期的表达模式。结果显示海蜇dmrta2基因cDNA全长为1 804 bp,开放阅读框为1 011 bp,所编码蛋白质含336个氨基酸,分子质量为37.25 kDa,理论等电点为9.11。预测海蜇dmrta2编码蛋白为亲水性蛋白质,无跨膜区域,不含信号肽。在33至79位氨基酸之间具有dmrt基因家族保守的DM结构域,与珊瑚、果蝇等物种的同源基因相应区域高度一致。系统进化分析显示,海蜇DMRTA2与鹿角珊瑚DMRTA2和DMRT3以及海葵DMRTA2的亲缘关系最近。原位杂交显示dmrta2基因在海蜇横裂生殖后期主要表达于感觉缘叶原基位置,在初生碟状体中表达于感觉棍位置。研究结果表明,dmrta2基因参与海蜇横裂生殖过程,可能主要与感觉棍神经系统的分化发育相关,研究为进一步解析海蜇等钵水母横裂生殖的分子调控机制提供了基础数据。

Mesoscale and microscale spatial variability of bacteria and viruses during a Phaeocystis globosa bloom in the Eastern English Channel

Sampling was conducted within inshore and offshore sites, characterized by highly dissimilar hydrodynamic and hydrobiological conditions, in the Eastern English Channel. The eutrophic inshore site was dominated by the influence of a dense bloom of the Prymnesiophyceae phytoplankton species Phaeocystis globosa, while the offshore site was characterized by more oceanic conditions. Within each site the microscale distributions of chlorophyll a and several flow cytometrically-defined subpopulations of heterotrophic bacteria and viruses were measured at a spatial resolution of 5 cm. The inshore site was characterized by comparatively high levels of microscale spatial variability, with concentrations of chlorophyll a, heterotrophic bacteria, and viruses varying by 8, 11 and 3.5-fold respectively across distances of several centimeters. Within the offshore site, microscale distributions of chlorophyll a and bacteria were markedly less variable than within the inshore site, although viruses exhibited slightly higher levels of heterogeneity. Significant mesoscale variability was also observed when mean microbial parameters were compared between the inshore and offshore sites. However, when the extent of change (max/min and coefficient of variation) was compared between meso- and microscales, the variability observed at the microscale, particularly in the inshore site, was substantially greater. This pattern suggests that microscale processes associated with Phaeocystis globosa bloom dynamics can generate heterogeneity amongst microbial communities to a greater degree than large scale oceanographic discontinuities.     

The blooms of a cyanobacterium, Microcystis cf. aeruginosa in a severely polluted estuary, the Golden Horn, Turkey

The distribution of toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis cf. aeruginosa in the severely polluted Golden Horn Estuary was studied from 1998 to 2000. Microcystis persisted at the upper estuary where the water circulation was poor and values ranged between 2.9 × 10⁴ and 2.7 × 10⁶ cells ml⁻¹ throughout the study. Simultaneously measured physical (salinity, temperature, rainfall and secchi disc) and chemical parameters (nutrients and dissolved oxygen) were evaluated together with Microcystis data. Although the Microcystis blooms generally occur in summer due to the increase in temperature, the blooms were recorded in winter in the present study. The abundance of Microcystis depended on the variations in salinity and both blooms were recorded below S = 2. A moderate partial correlation between Microcystis abundance and salinity was detected in the presence of temperature, dissolved oxygen and precipitation data (r = −0.561, p = 0.002). The M. cf. aeruginosa abundance was low in the summer when the salinity was higher than winter. A remarkable increase in the eukaryotic phytoplankton abundance following the improvements in the water quality of the estuary occurred, whilst the Microcystis abundance remained below bloom level.     

绿藻浒苔对浮游植物群落结构影响研究

为了解浒苔(Enteromorpha prolifera)对浮游植物群落的影响,于2011年7月末在青岛第三海水浴场附近海域,现场采集了浒苔鲜组织和含自然浮游植物群落的海水,进行了10d 的浒苔与浮游植物群落室内受控共培养实验。设计4个处理,包括1个对照组和3个实验组,每个处理设置3个平行。对照组未添加浒苔,实验组分别按照0.8(低)、2.4(中)和7.2 g/L(高)的湿质量进行添加。研究结果表明,在整个共培养期间,硅藻的生长受到了浒苔明显的抑制,在3个不同的实验组细胞丰度显著降低(ANOVA, P<0.05),降幅分别达到84.1%、92.1%和95.3%。优势种长菱形藻(Nitzschia longissima)在高实验组的第10天,细胞丰度更是低至对照组的0.38%。甲藻丰度在各组皆表现出先升高后降低的趋势,优势种利玛原甲藻(Prorocentrum lima)在高实验组的第3天,细胞丰度高达对照组的98.7倍。浒苔通过影响浮游植物细胞丰度和优势种演替,改变了浮游植物的群落结构。高密度浒苔的存在会使浮游植物优势种组成趋于单一,物种多样性程度和群落稳定性大为降低。但是,浒苔对单细胞浮游植物的克生作用可以抑制赤潮藻的过度繁殖,有益于赤潮的生物防治和水域环境的生态修复。
