本实验分别针对3株低温藻株:微拟球藻Nannochloropsis sp.ZL-12、四爿藻Tetraselmis chui ZL-33和小球藻Chlorellasp.ZL-45,3株中温藻株:球等鞭金藻Isochrysis galbana CCMM5001、等鞭金藻Isochrysis sp.CCMM5002和微拟球藻Nannochloropsis sp.CCMM7001,3株高温藻株:微拟球藻Nannochloropsis sp.JN1、绿色巴夫藻Pavlova viridis JN2和海洋小球藻Chlorellasp.JN3,研究了在通入0.03%(空气)、5%、10%3个CO2浓度梯度条件下的生长特性,同时考察了其总酯及中性脂的累积情况。结果显示,富碳培养有利于不同温度条件下9株藻株的生长,除微拟球藻Nannochloropsis sp.CCMM7001最适生长的CO2浓度为5%外,其余8株藻株最适生长的CO2浓度均为10%。在低温和高温条件下,6株海洋富油微藻在通入10%CO2时具有最大生物量产率,在中温条件下球等鞭金藻和等鞭金藻在通入10%CO2时获得最大生物量产率,而微拟球藻在通入5%时获得最大生物量产率,随着CO2浓度的增加,9株藻株的总脂含量和中性脂含量有明显提高。低温和中温藻株的总脂含量高于高温藻株的总脂含量,从中性脂的累积规律来看,9株藻株均在平台期的累积达到最大值,GC-MS分析结果表明,9株微藻适合制备生物柴油的C14~C18系脂肪酸相对含量在不同CO2条件下基本保持不变,维持在90%左右。实验结果显示,所研究的藻株作为富油高固碳优良藻株,具备用于海洋生物质能耦合CO2减排开发的潜力。

CO2加富对塔玛亚历山大藻叶绿素荧光参数及产毒的影响

由大气中CO_2浓度升高引起的海洋酸化,是全球性的重大环境问题之一。本研究采用实验生态学的方法,以塔玛亚历山大藻(Alexandrium tamarense)为研究对象,分析其在CO_2加富条件下叶绿素荧光动力学参数及产毒特征的变化。调制叶绿素荧光结果显示,CO_2加富对塔玛亚历山大藻的PSⅡ最大光化学量子产量(Fv/Fm)、最大相对电子传递效率(r ETRmax)有显著影响(P0.05),且随着培养时间的增长Fv/Fm、r ETRmax均降低,对半饱和光强(Ik)、快速光曲线初始斜率(α)却无显著影响(P0.05)。结果说明CO_2加富能促进塔玛亚历山大藻的PSⅡ最大光化学量子产量,提高其最大光能转换效率和相对最大电子传递效率。高效液相色谱法分析结果显示,该株塔玛亚历山大藻主要产漆沟藻毒素1(GTX1)、漆沟藻毒素4(GTX4)、N-磺酰氨甲酰基毒素(C1)及N-磺酰氨甲酰基毒素(C2)四种PSTs毒素,CO_2加富不改变主要麻痹性贝毒(PSTs)的种类组成,但能显著提高氨基甲酸酯类毒素(GTX1、GTX4)产量(P0.05),而降低N-磺酰氨甲酰基类毒素(C1、C2)产量(P0.05),说明加富能使塔玛亚历山大藻所产毒素发生转化,进而影响藻细胞的整体毒性。     

Lipid accumulation and CO_2 utilization of two marine oil-rich microalgal strains in response to CO_2 aeration

Biological CO_2 sequestration by microalgae is a promising and environmentally friendly technology applied to sequester CO_2. The characteristics of neutral lipid accumulation by two marine oil-rich microalgal strains,namely, Isochrysis galbana and Nannochloropsis sp., through CO_2 enrichment cultivation were investigated in this study. The optimum culture conditions of the two microalgal strains are 10% CO_2 and f medium. The maximum biomass productivity, total lipid content, maximum lipid productivity, carbon content, and CO_2 fixation ability of the two microalgal strains were obtained. The corresponding parameters of the two strains were as follows:((142.42±4.58) g/(m~2·d),(149.92±1.80) g/(m~2·d)),((39.95±0.77)%,(37.91±0.58)%),((84.47±1.56) g/(m~2·d),(89.90±1.98) g/(m~2·d)),((45.98±1.75)%,(46.88±2.01)%), and((33.74±1.65) g/(m~2·d),(34.08±1.32) g/(m~2·d)). Results indicated that the two marine microalgal strains with high CO_2 fixation ability are potential strains for marine biodiesel development coupled with CO_2 emission reduction.     

CO2加富培养对鼠尾藻克制赤潮异弯藻效果的影响

采用实验生态学的方法,研究了大型海藻鼠尾藻(Sargassum thunbergii)对赤潮微藻中肋骨条藻(Skeletonema costatum)的克生效应及其对 CO2加富的响应变化.结果表明,正常培养的鼠尾藻新鲜组织、干粉末和水溶性抽提液能够导致中肋骨条藻的细胞密度显著降低(P<0.05), CO2加富培养的鼠尾藻新鲜组织、干粉末和水溶性抽提液能够更加明显地抑制中肋骨条藻种群生长(P<0.01).实验结果证实鼠尾藻对中肋骨条藻具有克生效应,而 CO2加富培养引起了鼠尾藻对中肋骨条藻克生效应的变化,使其对中肋骨条藻生长的抑制作用显著加强.正常培养的鼠尾藻培养水过滤液能够显著抑制中肋骨条藻的生长(P<0.05),而 CO2加富培养的鼠尾藻培养水过滤液对中肋骨条藻的生长没有表现出明显的影响(P>0.05),因此推测 CO2加富培养可能改变了鼠尾藻对中肋骨条藻克生作用的方式,作用方式由分泌克生物质转变为细胞直接接触转递.     

基于蛋白组学分析杜氏盐藻对不同浓度CO2的响应

用气体混合仪设置不同的CO_2浓度处理组,测定了杜氏盐藻(Dunaliella salina)细胞密度、碳酸酐酶活性、甘油含量等生理指标,结合蛋白质组学分析方法,比较了不同CO_2浓度下细胞内主要代谢路径蛋白表达的差异。结果表明:在一定范围内,随着CO_2浓度的升高,杜氏盐藻的生理活性及光合活性提高;而CO_2浓度过高对盐藻生长呈抑制作用; 3%CO_2浓度最适于本实验杜氏盐藻藻株的生长。随着CO_2浓度的升高,胞外碳酸酐酶活性下降。低浓度的CO_2有利于β-胡萝卜素的积累,且光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)光合活性在CO_2浓度0.03%～3%范围内上升, CO_2浓度达9%时降低,与光合作用相关蛋白的表达趋势接近。上述结果说明杜氏盐藻可能通过调节光合作用中叶绿素等捕光色素的合成及相关蛋白的表达笼统,以响应CO_2浓度的变化;而过高浓度的CO_2可对细胞产生氧化损害,引起热激蛋白和超氧化物歧化酶等蛋白含量的上调以应对氧化胁迫。     

Distributions and air-sea fluxes of CO2 in the summer Bering Sea

The 3rd Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition(CHINARE–Arctic III) was carried out from July to September in 2008. The partial pressure of CO2(pCO2) in the atmosphere and in surface seawater were determined in the Bering Sea during July 11–27, 2008, and a large number of seawater samples were taken for total alkalinity(TA) and total dissolved inorganic carbon(DIC) analysis. The distributions of CO2 parameters in the Bering Sea and their controlling factors were discussed. The pCO2 values in surface seawater presented a drastic variation from 148 to 563 μatm(1 μatm = 1.013 25×10-1 Pa). The lowest pCO2 values were observed near the Bering Sea shelf break while the highest pCO2 existed at the western Bering Strait. The Bering Sea generally acts as a net sink for atmospheric CO2 in summer. The air-sea CO2 fluxes in the Bering Sea shelf, slope, and basin were estimated at-9.4,-16.3, and-5.1 mmol/(m2·d), respectively. The annual uptake of CO2 was about 34 Tg C in the Bering Sea.     

CO_2加富对盐生杜氏藻(Dunaliella salina)叶绿素荧光参数的影响

大气中CO_2浓度不断升高导致的海水酸化,已经引起了广泛的环境、生态和气候问题。本实验采用实验生态学的方法,以盐生杜氏藻(Dunaliella salina)为研究对象,分析其在CO_2加富的条件下叶绿素荧光参数的变化。研究表明,CO_2加富对盐生杜氏藻光系统Ⅱ最大光化学量子产额(Fv/Fm)和最大相对电子传递速率(rETRmax)无显著影响(P0.05),显著促进了光系统Ⅱ实际光合效率(P0.05)和光能利用效率(α)(P0.05),并且降低了饱和光强(Ek)(P0.05)。然而,CO_2升高增加了盐生杜氏藻的光抑制参数(β)(P0.05)和非光化学淬灭(NPQ)(P0.05),这说明在光照充足的情况下,CO_2加富会对盐生杜氏藻产生负面效应,使其更容易受到光抑制。     

大气CO2浓度升高对繁茂膜海绵滤食海水细菌能力的影响

通过模拟大气CO_2浓度升高,研究其对海绵滤食细菌功能的影响。在模拟大气CO_2浓度升高生态系统中,探究了大气CO_2浓度387、500、750和1 000mmol/mol环境下繁茂膜海绵(Hymeniacidon perlevis)滤食灭菌海水中大肠杆菌(Escherichia coli AS 1.1017)和灿烂弧菌(Vibrio splendidus)的能力。结果表明:在24 h实验期间,模拟大气CO_2从目前约387mmol/mol升高至500mmol/mol,繁茂膜海绵滤食大肠杆菌和灿烂弧菌效率提高了。当模拟大气CO_2 750mmol/mol时,繁茂膜海绵滤食海水中大肠杆菌和灿烂弧菌功能都下降了,说明繁茂膜海绵已经受到大气较高浓度CO_2损害。模拟大气CO_2为1 000mmol/mol时,繁茂膜海绵基本丧失了滤食海水中大肠杆菌和灿烂弧菌的功能。上述结果可为了解大气CO_2浓度对近岸海洋生态系统的影响提供科学依据。     

Alterations in seawater pH and CO2 affect calcification and photosynthesis in the tropical coralline alga, Hydrolithon sp. (Rhodophyta)

Calcification in the marine environment is the basis for the accretion of carbonate in structures such as coral reefs, algal ridges and carbonate sands. Among the organisms responsible for such calcification are the Corallinaceae (Rhodophyta), recognised as major contributors to the process world-wide. Hydrolithon sp. is a coralline alga that often forms rhodoliths in the Western Indian Ocean. In Zanzibar, it is commonly found in shallow lagoons, where it often grows within seagrass beds and/or surrounded by green algae such as Ulva sp. Since seagrasses in Zanzibar have recently been shown to raise the pH of the surrounding seawater during the day, and since calcification rates are sensitive to pH, which changes the saturation state of calcium carbonate, we measured the effects of pH on photosynthetic and calcification rates of this alga. It was found that pH had significant effects on both calcification and photosynthesis. While increased pH enhanced calcification rates both in the light and in the dark at pH >8.6, photosynthetic rates decreased. On the other hand, an increase in dissolved CO₂ concentration to 26 μmol kg⁻¹ (by bubbling with air containing 0.9 mbar CO₂) caused a decrease in seawater pH which resulted in 20% less calcification after 5 days of exposure, while enhancing photosynthetic rates by 13%. The ecological implications of these findings is that photosynthetically driven changes in water chemistry by surrounding plants can affect calcification rates of coralline algae, as may future ocean acidification resulting from elevated atmospheric CO₂.

根据2018年7月、11月和2019年1月、4月对广东考洲洋牡蛎养殖海域进行4个季节调查获得的p H、溶解无机碳(DIC)、水温、盐度、溶解氧(DO)及叶绿素a(Chla)等数据,估算该区域表层海水溶解无机碳体系各分量的浓度、初级生产力(PP)、表层海水CO₂分压[p(CO₂)]和海-气界面CO₂交换通量(FCO₂),分析牡蛎养殖活动对养殖区碳循环的影响。结果表明:牡蛎养殖区表层海水中Chl a、DIC、HCO₃^–和PP显著低于非养殖区;养殖淡季表层海水中pH、DO、DIC、HCO₃^–、和CO₃^2–显著大于养殖旺季,养殖旺季的p(CO₂)和FCO₂显著大于养殖淡季。牡蛎养殖区表层海水夏季、秋季、冬季和春季的海-气界面CO₂交换通量FCO₂平均值分别是(42.04±9.56)、(276...     

Short-term variability of fCO2 in seawater and air–sea CO2 fluxes in a coastal upwelling system (Ría de Vigo, NW Spain)

Coastal upwelling systems are regions with highly variable physical processes and very high rates of primary production and very little is known about the effect of these factors on the short-term variations of CO₂ fugacity in seawater (fCO₂^w). This paper presents the effect of short-term variability (<1 week) of upwelling–downwelling events on CO₂ fugacity in seawater (fCO₂^w), oxygen, temperature and salinity fields in the Ría de Vigo (a coastal upwelling ecosystem). The magnitude of fCO₂^w values is physically and biologically modulated and ranges from 285 μatm in July to 615 μatm in October. There is a sharp gradient in fCO₂^w between the inner and the outer zone of the Ría during almost all the sampling dates, with a landward increase in fCO₂^w.CO₂ fluxes calculated from local wind speed and air–sea fCO₂ differences indicate that the inner zone is a sink for atmospheric CO₂ in December only (−0.30 mmol m⁻² day⁻¹). The middle zone absorbs CO₂ in December and July (−0.05 and −0.27 mmol·m⁻² day⁻¹, respectively). The oceanic zone only emits CO₂ in October (0.36 mmol·m⁻² day⁻¹) and absorbs at the highest rate in December (−1.53 mmol·m⁻² day⁻¹).
