环境因子对好氧不产氧光合细菌脂肪酸组成的影响

对赤杆菌属(Erythrobacter)、柠檬酸微菌属(Citromicrobium)和玫瑰杆菌(Roseobacter)分支的9株好氧不产氧光合细菌(AAPB)的脂肪酸组成进行分析,并以10株非AAPB菌为参照,从脂肪酸角度考察光照、温度、营养等重要环境因子对AAPB的影响.结果显示, AAPB的脂肪酸以C18:1 w7c为主,该成分在Roseobacter分支中含量最高,不同种脂肪酸对环境因子的响应不同,低温和寡营养条件主要作用于不饱和脂肪酸(UFA);二羟基脂肪酸在寡营养和光照双重作用下有较明显的升高.此外,结合非AAPB 的比较也为 AAPB 脂肪酸研究提供了新的视角,如温度实验显示,由于不饱和脂肪酸的比例较高, AAPB 可能在寒冷海域有更好的竞争优势,而从饥饿培养试验来看, AAPB 的异养能力似乎比非AAPB更弱.     

舟山海域好氧不产氧光合异养细菌群落结构分析

好氧不产氧光合异养细菌(aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria,AAPB)是广泛分布在各种海洋环境中并在微生物生态学、海洋碳汇和海洋生态系统的生物地球化学循环的过程中具有潜在的重要作用的一类光合异养微生物。于2016年4月份在舟山群岛不同海洋功能区海域的八个站点采集表层海水,基于编码光合反应复合中心小亚基的puf M基因进行高通量测序,对测序结果进行分析,结果发现:除了岱山的样品测序失败以外,其它七个站点共得到192633条序列,我们进行了OTU聚类分析,相似性设为97%,可以看到,所有的数据最后一共分成4051个OTU。属于Proteobacteria的AAPB占明确分类的各细菌门的97%。Rhodobacteraceae科的Loktanella和Roseobacter两个属的AAPB在所有的采样站点中都处于优势地位。Desulfocapsa属在朱家尖站位(ZJJ)的发现非常具有研究价值,在以往的研究中还没有出现过。研究结果表明,在舟山群岛不同功能海域AAPB的群落结构和分布情况也是有差别的,而且与很多环境因素有关,这可以解释为什么目前很难准确预测水生环境总AAPB分布的问题。     

大亚湾浮游植物粒级结构和种类组成对淡澳河河口水加富的响应

人类活动引起的营养物质输入导致大亚湾出现海水富营养化、赤潮频发和生物多样性下降等生态问题。为探究陆源输入影响下大亚湾湾顶淡澳河输入对湾内浮游植物粒级结构和种类组成的影响, 2016年10月在大亚湾进行了原位观测和培养试验。原位观测结果显示, 淡澳河口的总溶解态氮、磷浓度分别达到85.3μmol·L^-1和1.5μmol·L^-1。加富培养试验结果表明, 淡澳河河口水加富对总叶绿素a (Chl a)和总浮游植物丰度有显著促进作用, 并导致浮游植物粒级结构由小粒级Chl a (0.7~20μm)占主导; 浮游植物丰度中甲藻比例升高, 主要种类为锥状斯氏藻(Scrippsiella trochoidea)和原甲藻(Prorocentrum spp.)。同样, 尿素加富也促进了浮游植物群落中小粒级Chl a和甲藻的比例增加, 且主要甲藻种类与河口水加富结果一致。无机氮、磷同时加富促进了总Chl a和浮游植物总丰度增加, 而对浮游植物粒级结构和甲藻丰度则没有明显影响。对照河口水和氮、磷营养盐加富试验结果, 说明河口水携带的溶解性有机氮源可能是导致大亚湾浮游植物群落小型化, 促进甲藻生长的关键营养盐形态, 其携带的无机氮、磷同时促进总浮游植物丰度增加。本研究结果表明有机形态营养组分对大亚湾富营养化和有害藻华可能产生重要影响。     

北部湾北部海域水体异养细菌的时空分布特征研究

为探讨环境因素对异养细菌丰度的影响,2016年9月至2017年8月通过月度航次调查对北部湾北部海域异养细菌丰度的时空分布特征进行了系统研究。结果表明,调查海区异养细菌丰度介于（2.75~56.86）×105 cell/mL,平均值为（11.01±6.31）×105 cell/mL。各季节细菌丰度从高至低依次为:夏季、春季、冬季、秋季。异养细菌丰度由近岸海域向西南深水区方向逐渐降低,在近岸浅水区垂直分布均匀,在水深大于20 m的海区出现季节性分层现象:表层细菌丰度较高,底层细菌丰度较低。主成分分析显示温度对异养细菌时空分布有重要影响,秋、冬季异养细菌丰度与温度呈显著负相关,在春、夏季呈显著正相关。细菌丰度与盐度呈显著负相关,说明海水盐度变化是细菌时空分布重要影响因素。异养细菌丰度与叶绿素a和溶解氧含量呈显著正相关,表明浮游植物初级生产过程影响了异养细菌的时空分布。在秋、冬和春3季异养细菌丰度与营养盐水平呈显著负相关,二者关系受浮游植物生物量间接影响。异养细菌时空分布差异取决于环境条件的变化,温度、盐度、叶绿素a和溶解氧含量是影响异养细菌丰度分布的主要因素。     

沙尘沉降对黄海海域异养细菌丰度和活性的影响

亚洲沙尘是全球沙尘的重要组成部分,黄海是受亚洲沙尘影响较大的海域。沙尘沉降是海洋营养元素的重要来源之一,对海洋异养细菌的生长有重要影响。为研究亚洲沙尘沉降对黄海海域异养细菌丰度和活性的影响,于2014年11月在北黄海S1站位和南黄海S2站位分别进行了船基围隔培养实验,通过添加不同浓度的沙尘和无机磷研究沙尘沉降对海洋异养细菌的作用过程。结果显示,沙尘的添加在南、北黄海海域均显著提高了异养细菌丰度和高核酸菌比例(HNA%),高浓度沙尘对异养细菌丰度和活性的促进作用最显著,培养结束后使北黄海和南黄海异养细菌丰度分别增加了62%和45%;磷的添加在北黄海海域显著提高了异养细菌丰度和高核酸菌比例(HNA%),高浓度磷对异养细菌丰度和活性的促进作用最显著,培养结束后使异养细菌丰度增加了50%。研究表明,沙尘能够缓解北黄海磷对异养细菌生长的限制,促进异养细菌的生长,增强异养细菌的活性,提高异养细菌在海洋生态系统中的生态功能。南黄海海域,沙尘在短期内对异养细菌的生长表现为抑制作用,降低了异养细菌的活性;沙尘在长期内对异养细菌的生长表现为促进作用,增强了异养细菌活性。等量沙尘的沉降方式不同,对生态系统的影响结果存在较大差异。     

北部湾海域叶绿素a质量浓度时空分布研究

叶绿素a质量浓度是水体富营养化的重要指标,及时和有效地对水体叶绿素a质量浓度进行监测和评价,对环境保护十分必要。本文基于2011年至2016年的卫星遥感数据,分析了北部湾海表叶绿素a质量浓度的时空分布特征。研究结果表明:北部湾叶绿素a质量浓度有明显的月变化和季节性变化,北部湾叶绿素a月平均质量浓度在8月和1月分别达到峰值,北部湾冬季与夏季的叶绿素a季平均质量浓度高于春季和秋季,夏季北部湾海域表层的叶绿素a质量浓度开始迅速升高,秋季北部湾中南部叶绿素a质量浓度呈下降的趋势。在空间分布上,北部湾近岸海域叶绿素a质量浓度平均水平较高,叶绿素a质量浓度高值区集中在湾北部雷州半岛西部沿岸的浅水区海域,而低值区在湾中部以及湾南部的深水区海域。     

基于FY-3A的湛江湾及其邻近海域叶绿素a遥感监测研究

叶绿素a质量浓度是水体水环境一个重要指标。本文结合实测的叶绿素a质量浓度、水体的光谱数据和FY-3A中等分辨率成像光谱仪的数据,研究利用FY-3A遥感监测湛江湾及其邻近海域叶绿素a质量浓度的可行性。研究结果表明,湛江湾海域大部水体接近一类水体,二类水体主要集中在湛江港附近的狭小封闭海域;OC4算法可以用于湛江湾海域的叶绿素a质量浓度的遥感监测,实测叶绿素a质量浓度与反演的叶绿素a质量浓度具有较好的相关性,相关系数R达到0.7以上;FY-3A中等分辨率成像光谱仪的数据可以较好地反映湛江湾海域叶绿素a质量浓度的空间分布。     

北极楚科奇海北部特征水团对浮游植物空间分布的调控

通过楚科奇海北部–加拿大海盆西侧交接地带的生态调查,我们发现0～150 m海域水体中以融冰水（MW,0～20 m）、白令海夏季水（sBSW）和阿拉斯加沿岸流（ACW）等水团为主。水温和营养盐变化与水团息息相关,物理–生化的耦合作用进一步影响了浮游植物分布和群落结构。叶绿素a浓度最大值多位于约50 m深、富含营养盐的sBSW和ACW暖水团中。 sBSW和ACW中分别以小型（占比约74%）和微微型（占比约65%）浮游植物为主。藻华初期,溶解无机氮（DIN）虽呈相对限制状态,但仍高于浮游植物生长所需阈值。双单元混合模型显示：浮游植物对氮去除明显,氮吸收量与叶绿素a浓度呈正比,且在温度略高的ACW水团中氮吸收量高于sBSW水团。在北极变暖、波弗特流涡增强以及ACW和sBSW营养盐补给下,该区域的浮游植物的叶绿素a浓度（均值：（0.327±0.163）mg/m³,范围：0.04～0.69 mg/ m³）与历史数据相比有所提高。这将增加北极海区的碳吸收通量,有利于其作为碳汇区的发展。     

夏季南黄海主要环境因子对微微型浮游生物分布影响

利用流式细胞技术, 获取南黄海夏季微微型浮游生物丰度数据, 分析了其组成和分布规律, 并探讨了主要的影响因子。2011年夏季, 聚球藻、微微型真核藻、异养细菌在整个调查海区的平均丰度分别在1×104、1×103、1×106 cells/mL数量级上。在全调查海区, 聚球藻和微微型真核藻受温度和光照的限制明显, 主要集中分布在温跃层及其以上水层;而营养盐的限制较小, 它们的影响只有在沿岸流影响明显的西部海区才能较为明显的体现出来。结果表明在该海域浓度较高的营养盐能够促进微微型浮游生物的生长, 但不是其限制因素;异养细菌受环境因子限制较小, 即使在深海也保持着较高的丰度。     

基于CMIP6模式分析北极典型海区浮游植物藻华模拟误差

在海冰覆盖的极地海区,浮游植物季节性藻华变化呈现典型的单峰特征。由于藻华过程受控于海冰、光照、混合层深度和营养盐供给等多个因素,其发生时间和强度在地球系统模式模拟结果中存在较大的不确定性。本研究选取11种CMIP6地球系统模式结果,以多种类型的观测资料和产品作为判断参考值,评估各模式结果能否准确模拟北极典型海区（巴伦支海、楚科奇海及白令海）浮游植物藻华动态的变化规律。通过计算能表征光照和营养盐限制的多个指标,分析表层叶绿素a浓度模拟结果的误差来源。结果表明,依据冰下光照时长、混合层变化速率、表层硝酸盐指标将11种模式分为3组,与参考值指标差异较小组别中的模式在藻华模拟方面明显占优,而其余模式在表层硝酸盐或混合层变化的模拟上存在较大误差,导致表层叶绿素a浓度峰值的发生时间延后且峰值浓度误差大。总体而言,地球系统模式配置中除要考虑光照和营养盐这两种基础限制条件外,也需关注由温盐控制的上混合层深度,从而准确模拟出表层叶绿素a浓度的季节性变化规律,上述研究为地球系统模式中相关参数化方案的改进提供了参考。

海洋围隔中异养细菌与环境中氮、磷关系的研究

利用海洋围隔生态系统实验装置,向海水中施加不同浓度的氮和磷,研究海洋异养细菌与海水环境中氮、磷的关系。结果表明,实验开始后海洋异养细菌的数量就迅速增加,并且一直维持在较高水平,第7~8天达到峰值。但在海洋异养细菌数量达到峰值后,海水中氮和磷的浓度有所回升,磷元素促进了海洋异养细菌的快速生长和繁殖,同时海洋异养细菌在一定程度上也利用了无机氮,海洋异养细菌的数量与海水环境中氮和磷的浓度具有较好的正相关性。     

2014年夏季南海北部超微型浮游植物分布及环境因子影响

利用流式细胞仪BD Accuri C6对2014年夏季南海北部超微型浮游植物进行了现场的观测研究,发现了3类超微型光合自养浮游植物,聚球藻(Synechococcus,Syn)、原绿球藻(Prochlorococcus,Pro)和超微型真核藻类(pico-eukaryotes,Euk),并对其丰度与分布以及环境因子影响进行了研究。结果表明,Syn、Pro和Euk丰度总平均值分别为5.13×103个/mL,3.27×104个/mL和1.85×103个/mL,碳生物量均值分别为1.19μg/L,1.86μg/L和4.51μg/L。Syn、Pro和Euk的丰度表现出不同的分布特征。Syn、Pro和Euk丰度分布趋势呈现近海低而外海高,Syn和Euk丰度高值区分别出现在沿岸带与陆架和上升流影响海域,Pro丰度高值区出现在沿岸带与陆架,低值区出现在上升流影响海域。Syn、Euk丰度高值区主要分布在次表层,Pro丰度高值区主要分布在真光层底部,Euk丰度垂直变化差异相对Syn和Pro较小。超微型浮游植物与环境因子的相关性分析结果表明,Syn、Pro和Euk的碳生物量均与硝酸盐、硅酸盐浓度和深度呈现负相关关系,Pro的碳生物量与磷酸盐浓度呈现正相关关系。     

Distribution of mixotrophic nanoflagellates along the latitudinal transect of the central North Pacific

To elucidate the ecological importance of mixotrophic nanoflagellates in the open ocean and the environmental factors that regulate their abundance, we surveyed latitudinal distributions of autotrophic, mixotrophic and heterotrophic nanoflagellates in the central North Pacific Ocean along a transect at 170°W. Mixotrophic nanoflagellates significantly contributed (26–64 %) to total bacterivory, as measured by the fluorescently-labeled bacteria method, from the equatorial through the subarctic regions, which reinforces the importance of mixotrophic nanoflagellates as a trophic link in the open ocean. The proportion of mixotrophic to total plastidic nanoflagellates was significantly higher in the nutrient-depleted subtropical gyre than in other regions, sometimes exceeding 10 %. Additionally, the proportion was negatively correlated with soluble reactive phosphorus concentration within the tropical and subtropical waters, suggesting that low nutrient availability could facilitate phagotrophy of plastidic nanoflagellates, which may explain the survival of nano-sized eukaryotic phytoplankton in the ultraoligotrophic water. In the subarctic regions, the proportion exhibited no obvious relationship with any environmental parameter. Conversely, the numerical proportion of mixotrophic nanoflagellates in total phagotrophic nanoflagellates (sum of mixotrophic and heterotrophic nanoflagellates) was positively correlated with nutrient concentrations. In contrast to macronutrient availability, the physical stability of the water column did not appear to affect the contribution of mixotrophic nanoflagellates.

Ecological characteristics of the abundance and distribution of bacteria in the waters nearby the front of the Hangzhou Bay

- Abundance of total bacteria, heterotrophic bacteria, coliform and oil degradable bacteria and their relations with salinity and suspended matter in the frontal waters in the Hangzhou Bay are described. The results obtained show that the highest abundances of total bacteria , heterotrophic bacteria are encountered around the front and near the northern shore of the Hangzhou Bay, where a positive correlation ( r =0. 70) between the total bacteria abundance and the total suspended matter (TSM) is persent. Moreover,the abundance of oil degradable bacteria being an indicator of oil pollution, is also high in that region.     

Effects of an Artificial Breakwater on the Distributions of Planktonic Microbial Communities

The summer distributions of planktonic microbial communities (heterotrophic and phtosynthetic bacteria, phtosynthetic and heterotrophic nanoflagellates, ciliate plankton, and microphytoplankton) were compared between inner and outer areas of Lake Sihwa, divided by an artificial breakwater, located on the western coast of Korea, in September 2003. The semienclosed, inner area was characterized by hyposaline surface water (<17 psu), and by low concentrations of dissolved oxygen (avg. 0.4 mg L¹) and high concentrations of inorganic nutrients (nitrogenous nutrients >36 μM, phosphate <4 μM) in the bottom layer. Higher densities of heterotrophic bacteria and nanoflagellates also occurred in the inner area than did in the outer area, while microphytoplankton (mainly diatoms) occurred abundantly in the outer area. A tiny tintinnid ciliate, Tintinnopsis nana, bloomed into more than 10⁶ cells L¹ at the surface layer of the inner area, while its abundance was much lower (10³-10⁴ cells L¹) in the outer area of the breakwater. Ciliate abundance was highly correlated with heterotrophic bacteria (r = 0.886, p < 0.001) and heterotrophic flagellates (r = 0.962, p < 0.001), indicating that rich food availability may have led to theT. nana bloom. These results suggest that the breakwater causes the eutrophic environment in artificial lakes with limited flushing of enriched water and develops into abundant bacteria, nanoflagellates, and ciliates.     

Seasonal variations in abundance,growth and mortality of heterotrophic bacteria in Kagoshima Bay

Seasonal changes in abundance, growth and mortality of heterotrophic bacteria were investigated monthly from collections and dilution experiments in Kagoshima Bay, the southernmost of Japan. Bacteria occurred abundantly with considerable variation in the surface layers where chlorophyll a concentrations were high, whereas seasonal variations were obscure below 100 m. Especially, bacteria showed a decline of cell density toward summer when heterotrophic nano-flagellates increased their abundance. Seasonal and vertical variations in bacterial cell number during the study period were positively correlated with those of water temperature and pico-sized chlorophyll a concentration. Maximum growth and mortality rates showed positive correlations with water temperature but no positive relationships to size-fractionated chlorophyll a. Net increase rate (i.e. in situ rate if abundance changes) was negatively correlated with cell density of heterotrophic nano-flagellates. It is concluded that bacterial abundance is controlled by the resultant (i.e. net growth rate) of the balance between maximum growth and predatory mortality by heterotrophic nano-flagelllates which are both dependent on ambient temperature.     

The relationship between abundances of meiofauna and their suspected microbial food (diatoms and bacteria)

Samples were taken bi-weekly for one year at a sand site and a mud site in the North Inlet Estuary, Georgetown, South Carolina, for meiofauna, their suspected microbial food (bacteria and diatoms), and associated physical factors. Linear regression techniques were used to correlate food abundance and physical factors with the density of meiofaunal taxa. At both sites diatoms positively correlated with meiofauna taxa, but bacteria did not. Physical factors were not correlated with meiofaunal or microbial abundances at the sand site. Whereas, at the mud site meiofauna and diatom abundances were positively correlated with the depth of the redox layer and inversely correlated with temperature. Peaks of meiofaunal abundance did not follow peaks of food abundance. Analysis of copepods at the species level indicated that taxa response was due to the response of the dominant species. Even though some correlations existed, this study suggests that copepod species and meiofauna at the gross taxonomic level do not respond to changes in potential food abundance. Physical factors apparently influence both meiofauna and diatoms in the same fashion. However, bacterial abundance was not positively correlated with any of the factors studied.
