Some Free-Living Heterotrophic Flagellates from Marine Sediments of Tropical Australia

The diversity of heterotrophic flagellates was examined at marine sediments around Cape Tribulation, Australia. The species described belong to the Alveolates, Apusomonadidae, Cercomonadida, Choanoflagellida, Cry ptomonadida, Diplomonadida, Euglenozoaincertae sedis, Kathablepharidae, Kinetoplastida, Pedinellids, Stephanopogonidae, Stramenopiles, Stramenopilesincertae sedis, Thaumatomonadidae and Protistaincertae sedis. Among the 51 species from 38 genera encountered in this study is one new taxon:Glissandra similis n. sp., and two new names are introduced:Goniomonas abrupta (Skvortzov 1924) nomen nodum andCercomonas skvortzovi (Skvortzov 1977) nomen nodum. There was little evidence for endemism because most flagellates including one new taxon described here have been reported.     

Winter-spring phytoplankton blooms in Dabob Bay, Washington

Scientific investigations in Dabob Bay, Washington State, USA, have been extensive since the early 1960s, but phytoplankton blooms have been studied mostly with regard to chlorophyll concentrations and little is known about the phytoplankton species themselves. Here we provide information on the species present, their abundances during blooms, their contribution to organic carbon concentrations and the ability of some phytoplankton species to produce toxic aldehydes that may impact metazoan grazers.Multiple blooms of phytoplankton, dominated by diatoms, occurred in the late winter-early spring period, with depth-integrated chlorophyll levels ranging from <20 to 230 mg m⁻² and peaks in February and April. The major bloom species included Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiosira spp. and Chaetoceros spp; Phaeocystis cf. pouchetii occurred in 2002 and 2004. Other taxa or groups of organisms that were sometimes abundant included unidentified small flagellates <10 μm in size and unidentified heterotrophic dinoflagellates. Large diatoms usually comprised most of the cell carbon, but a large, heterotrophic dinoflagellate, identified only as Gyrodinium “tear” because of its shape, was a major contributor to the microplankton carbon when present even in small numbers. Five Thalassiosira species and S. costatum were found to produce polyunsaturated aldehydes (PUA) that are known to affect copepod reproduction and hatching success. Our findings are similar to the few previous studies in the last four decades that included phytoplankton species and suggest long-term similarities and relative stability in the phytoplankton species present and their timing in Dabob Bay.

4株米氏凯伦藻(Karenia mikimotoi)藻际异养细菌的分离鉴定

采用分子生物学方法,对分离的米氏凯伦藻4株藻际异养细菌进行分子鉴定和功能分析。结果表明,经16S rRNA序列分析,4株藻际异养细菌分别隶属于Formosa、Erythrobacter、Shewanella和Marinobacter四个属,P1菌株与Formosa的16S rRNA核苷酸序列的同源性为95%,P2、P3和P4菌株与Erythrobacter、Shewanella和Marinobacter的同源性在99%以上。通过4株异养细菌及其同源性大的24株细菌构建进化树得出,28株细菌在系统发育树中主要分成4个分支,与同源性分析相符。     

黄海春季水华过程中微微型浮游生物的变化特点

于2007年3—4月在黄海中部海域采用流式细胞术研究了春季水华过程中聚球藻、微微型真核浮游生物和异养细菌的生物量变化。聚球藻和微微真核型浮游生物的生物量与叶绿素a浓度变化基本呈现相反的趋势,在水华前期较高,水华期迅速下降,直至水华后期又有所升高。异养细菌在整个水华过程中变化较小,生物量在水华期最高,与水柱叶绿素a浓度呈极显著正相关(r=0.319,p<0.01)。水华期这三类微微型浮游生物对浮游植物总碳生物量的贡献很低。纤毛虫和鞭毛虫捕食可能是导致聚球藻和微微型真核浮游生物在水华期生物量降低的主要原因。     

凯氏拟小球藻己糖激酶基因的克隆及其在不同培养条件下的表达分析

为研究凯氏拟小球藻(Parachlorellakessleri)糖代谢分子机制,本研究采用RT-PCR和RACE技术从凯氏拟小球藻中克隆了己糖激酶基因CkeHK(GenBankID:AHF54566),并对其自养、异养、混养条件下的转录表达进行分析。结果表明,该序列的cDNA全长为1844bp,开放阅读框1389bp,编码462个氨基酸。该蛋白的相对分子质量为49.73,等电点为6.98。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,以自养培养条件为对照,异养培养和混养培养条件下,CkeHK均能够发生明显上调,且混养条件下上调量比异养条件下上调量更多,说明CkeHK可能在凯氏拟小球藻利用外源糖的过程发挥重要作用,并且光信号对于凯氏拟小球藻利用外源糖可能存在调控作用。这些研究结果为进一步阐明CkeHK的功能及其作用机制奠定了分子基础。

仿刺参(Apostichopus japonicus)肠道菌群的地域性差异与共性研究

作为高附加值水产养殖物种,仿刺参(Apostichopusjaponicus)的病害和病原微生物研究受到人们关注,但对其共生菌群组成、地域性差异及与水体环境间交流等方面的研究仍十分有限。本研究收集了来自中国、日本和韩国共786例仿刺参肠道、水体和沉积物的16SrRNA基因高通量测序数据,比较细菌群落组成以探寻仿刺参肠道微生物与环境和地域之间的关系。分析结果显示,尽管仿刺参肠道、水体和沉积物中各细菌组分的比例不同,但共有菌属甚多,表明仿刺参可以从外界环境大量获取微生物。与水体和沉积物的样本类型相比,仿刺参肠道微生物多样性最低且所含菌属的种类最少,进一步提示仿刺参肠道对外界来源的微生物进行了富集和筛选,其中变形细菌门(Proteobacteria)、假单胞菌属(Pseudomonas)、嗜冷杆菌属(Psychrobacter)和利斯顿氏菌属(Listonella)的富集尤为明显。中国、日本和韩国来源的仿刺参肠道微生物Alpha多样性无显著差异,但主坐标分析将它们聚为不同的簇,且各自拥有独特的细菌门类。比较中国渤海和黄海两个海区的仿刺参肠道菌群获得了相似的结果,体现出广泛的地域性差异。基于细菌分类的功能预测发现三个国家仿刺参肠道微生物均具有发酵、化能异养和需氧化能异养功能,表明共生菌群在功能上存在共性,并可能对宿主生理产生相同的作用。本研究揭示了仿刺参肠道微生物在不同地域之间存在明显差异,并且与水体环境之间存在着密切的联系,能够为仿刺参共生微生物及其与宿主健康的相关性研究提供基础性资料,并可能在自然循环过程和渔业资源保护过程中发挥作用。     

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.     

兼养对雨生红球藻细胞生长的促进作用及藻株差异性

结合叶绿素荧光技术,对比研究了不同雨生红球藻藻株在兼养(光照+乙酸钠)培养过程中细胞生长和光合作用的共性与差异性反应。结果表明:兼养明显提高红球藻细胞密度和比生长速率;乙酸钠不仅为红球藻提供异养的有机碳源,而且还明显导致藻细胞光自养的光合综合性能指数发生改变,兼养对细胞生长促进作用的贡献在前期主要来自于其中的异养部分,而在后期却明显来自于自养部分;兼养对细胞生长的促进作用在藻株之间存在一定差异,不同藻株对乙酸钠的适应能力和最适质量浓度也存在明显差异,藻株H0可适应的乙酸钠质量浓度较高,而藻株H6对乙酸钠需求和适应性相对较低。上述结果意味着规模化培养红球藻过程中,针对不同藻株采用适宜乙酸钠兼养方式可有效缩短培养周期,提高生产效率。     

Morphological observation and rbcL gene sequences studies of two new species, Grateloupia dalianensis H.W.Wang et D.Zhao, sp. nov. and G. yinggehaiensis H.W.Wang et R.X.Luan, sp. nov. (Halymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) from China

A few species in the genus Grateloupia (Halymeniaceae,Rhodophyta) have been investigated in detail with respect to morphological observations and molecular analyses.In this study,the authors document the vegetative and reproductive structures of two new species of Grateloupia,G.dalianensis H.W.Wang et D.Zhao,sp.nov.and G.yinggehaiensis H.W.Wang et R.X.Luan,sp.nov.They both have the morphological character that carpogonial ampullae and auxiliary cell ampullae are the simple Grateloupia-type.The two species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by their distinctive morphological features respectively.Based on ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) gene sequences,the phylogenetic tree obtained in the study indicated that they are both embedded within the Grateloupia clade.G.dalianensis clusters a subclade with G.asiatica,and G.yinggehaiensis forms a single monophyletic subclade with G.hawaiiana.     

异养营养对丛生盔形珊瑚代谢及共生藻光合生理的影响

本文以三亚鹿回头近岸海域内的优势种造礁石珊瑚——丛生盔形珊瑚(Galaxea fascicularis)为研究对象,以丰年虾(Artemia salina)无节幼体为饵料,研究了异养营养对丛生盔形珊瑚光合作用与呼吸代谢的影响。结果表明:异养营养的输入能够增加丛生盔形珊瑚的共生虫黄藻密度以及色素含量,并能够显著提升其光合作用与呼吸速率,然而单个虫黄藻的光合速率降低,这与虫黄藻密度增加引起的遮蔽效应有关。从营养角度来看,异养营养的输入能够使丛生盔形珊瑚有机碳的净积累速率提升约44.5%。本研究结果显示异养营养的输入能够促进丛生盔形珊瑚的光合与呼吸代谢,且这种情况下丛生盔形珊瑚的营养模式更为健康。     

The paranthurid isopod crustacean Paranthura nigropunctata (Lucas, 1846): first record from the Atlantic coast of Morocco

The littoral paranthurid isopod crustacean Paranthura nigropunctata (Lucas, 1846) is recorded for the first time from the littoral of El Jadida located on the Atlantic northwest coast of Morocco. Specimens were obtained from the invasive brown seaweed Sargassum muticum and the natives Bifurcaria bifurcata and Cystoseira tamariscifolia in January 2015. This new record further confirms a significant southward distribution of P. nigropunctata and contributes to the knowledge of the biogeography of this isopod. Heretofore, the species was only known from the western and eastern Mediterranean and some Atlantic coasts. The present finding is the first of the species from Moroccan Atlantic shores, and suggests that the species may also be present in other coastal localities from Morocco and Africa. Some data on morphology, ecology and spatial distribution of the species are provided.

Recent Occurrences of Dinophysis fortii (Dinophyceae) in the Okkirai Bay, Sanriku, Northern Japan, and Related Environmental Factors

Occurrence of Dinophysis fortii, a causative organism of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, in the Okkirai Bay, Sanriku was surveyed in 1995, 1996, 1998 and 1999. In each year, its major occurrence was detected from the late May or early June and continued until the late June or early July. Seawater temperature, salinity and nutrients measurements suggested that inflows of offshore water into the bay played key role on the first major occurrence of D. fortii. With an analysis of continuous temperature data in the Otsuchi Bay which locates north of the Okkirai Bay, this influent was considered to be intermittent inflow of the offshore water by internal tidal waves which propagated from north to south. First occurrence peak of D. fortii was synchronous with phycobilin containing microalgae, synechococcoid cyanobacteria and cryptomonad, in all years. In vivo fluorescence measurement of D. fortii cells in 1995 and 96 showed that the cells in these microalgal-rich water contained more phycobilin pigment than those in the microalgal-poor water. The result may support a hypothesis that D. fortii acquires phycobilin by an uptake of these microalgae. After the first major occurrence in the bay, D. fortii sometimes occurred in rather inshore waters where showed elevated ammonium level possibly due to increased heterotrophic activity. Together with another finding that D. fortii is mixotrophic, it could be assumed that the environment being suited to heterotrophic nutrition also stimulates D. fortii growth in the bay.     

Interaction between Chlorella vulgaris and bacteria：interference and resource competition

Research of interaction mechanism between Chlorella vulgaris and two bacterial strains(Z-QD08 and Z-QS01)were conducted under laboratory conditions.Growth rates of bacteria and C.vulgaris were tested under co-culture conditions to evaluate the effects of concentrations of C.vulgaris and bacteria on their interactions.To test whether the availability of inorganic nutrients,vitamins and trace metals affects the interactions between C.vulgaris and bacteria,experiments were performed with or without the culture medium filtrate of C.vulgaris or bacteria.The results showed that the growth of C.vulgaris was promoted at low concentrations of bacteria(5×106cells/ml),and expressed a positive correlation with the bacteria density,whereas opposite trend was observed for treatments with high bacteria density(10×106cells/ml and 20×106cells/ml).The growth rate of bacteria decreased with the increasing concentrations of C.vulgaris.The growth of bacteria Z-QD08 was inhibited by C.vulgaris through interference competition,while the mechanism for interaction between bacteria Z-QS01 and C.vulgaris was resource competition.The influence of cell density on the interaction between microalgae and bacteria was also discussed.These experiments confirm some elements of published theory on interactions between heterotrophic bacteria and microalgae and suggest that heterotrophic bacteria play an important role in the development of blooms in natural waters.
