利用OJIP叶绿素a荧光评估干出对石莼（Ulva lactuca）光系统II的影响

通过分析快速叶绿素a荧光动力学上升（荧光快相）和JIP-test的参数探讨了干出对石莼光系统II特征的影响。结果表明，起始荧光（Fo）随水分的丧失明显增加，在失水达到67％时快速叶绿素a荧光动力学曲线出现一个平台，即O-J-I-P上升转变为O-J上升（J=I=P）。随着水分丧失的增加，以单位反应中心为单位的天线色素吸收的能量（ABS／RC）和用于热耗散的能量（DIo／RC）增加，当失水达到67％时，ABS／RC和DIo／RC分别达到起始时的127．5％和225.4％；用于电子传递的能量（ETo／RC）并没有明显变化；而捕获的能量（TRo／RC）在失水超过31％时明显下降。干出导致最大光化学效率（QPo）、电子传递的量子产额（φEo）和捕获的激子能导致电子传递的效率（ψo）均明显下降，在失水达到67％时，与未失水相比分别下降24．5％、86．4％和898％。而在J点的叶绿素a相对荧光（VJ）随着水分的丧失明显升高，同时单位面积上激活的反应中心数量明显减少。以上结果表明干出对石莼光合作用PSII的影响主要是由于PSII反应中心的失活和PSII受体侧电子传递的抑制。

微量元素锰对底栖甲藻热带库里亚藻(Coolia tropicalis)生长及叶绿素荧光特性的影响

以热带库里亚藻(Coolia tropicalis)为研究对象, 在不同锰浓度(0、1、5、10、50μmol·L ^-1)的人工海水培养15d, 利用叶绿素荧光动力学技术研究了其生长和光合作用对不同锰环境的响应。结果表明: 1)比生长速率(μ)和最大相对电子传递速率(rETR_max)与锰浓度均呈指数关系且对锰胁迫具有相同程度的响应; 2)锰浓度至少大于1μmol·L ^-1才能维持热带库里亚藻正常的光合作用活性, 当锰浓度低于该浓度时, 光合作用活性(F_v/F_m)在6d后开始下降, 而单位反应中心吸收光能(ABS/RC)和热能耗散(DI₀/RC)升高; 两个反应中心之间的电子传递(φ_E0)及生长并未受影响, 表明此阶段锰缺乏只影响活性光反应中心数量并提高热耗散途径; 当锰缺乏延长至15d时, 胁迫作用显现(F₀上升)并且电子传递(φ_E0)和生长受到抑制, 这阶段锰缺乏使光反应中心关闭且电子传递受阻; 3)锰缺乏的修复损伤比(r/k)并未降低, 表明锰缺乏并未影响热带库里亚藻的光保护能力。     

重金属胁迫对杜氏盐藻生长及叶绿素荧光特性的影响

研究了杜氏盐藻Dunaliella salina在不同浓度的Cu2+、Zn2+、Cd2+等重金属离子胁迫一段时间(24、48、72和96 h)后,叶绿素荧光特性的变化情况。测定的主要参数有:PSII的最大光能转化效率(Fv/Fm)、PSII的潜在活性(Fv/Fo)、PSII的实际光能转化效率(Yield)、相对光合电子传递效率(rETR)、光化学淬灭(qP)和非光化学淬灭(NPQ)。研究结果表明,当Cu2+浓度范围在600~800μmol/L时,杜氏盐藻的Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo、Yield、rETR和qP均明显降低,NPQ变化不规律,随着胁迫时间的延长,除qP在96 h时有所上升外,各荧光参数均逐渐降低;Zn2+胁迫下Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo、Yield和rETR随着浓度的增加而降低,NPQ先下降后上升,qP仅在Zn2+浓度范围(800~3200μmol/L)下明显下降,随着胁迫时间的延长,各荧光参数均逐渐降低;Cd2+胁迫下各荧光参数均明显下降,随着胁迫时间的延长,Fv/Fm、Fv/Fo和NPQ先下降后上升,在48 h时达到最低值,Yield、rETR和qP均逐渐降低。在3种重金属离子胁迫下,细胞密度和叶绿素相对含量也显著降低。根据3种重金属离子的半抑制浓度(EC50),其毒性大小顺序为Cu2+Cd2+Zn2+。     

干出状态下坛紫菜叶状体表面水膜与失水对光合作用光化学特性的影响

采用筏式吊养的大型经济海藻坛紫菜(Pyropia haitanensis)在栽培生长期间, 常周期性地处于干出状态。本文通过测定不同水膜状态下坛紫菜的叶绿素荧光动力学相关系数, 探讨了干出状态下坛紫菜叶状体表面水膜的理化特性与失水对其光合作用光化学特性的影响。实验数据显示, 干出初始状态下, 叶状体表面水膜pH值的升高对坛紫菜的最大光化学效率Fv/Fm、光化学淬灭系数qP、非光化学淬灭系数NPQ、最大相对电子传递速率ETRm和光能利用效率α均无显著性影响。当坛紫菜叶状体表面水膜盐度为0~75‰时, Fv/Fm、qP、NPQ、ETRm和α均保持稳定; 当叶状体表面水膜盐度增加到75‰~150‰时, Fv/Fm、NPQ、α和ETRm则显著下降, 较盐度为33‰时分别下降了66%、84%、70%和60%, 表明覆盖高盐度水膜的叶状体PSⅡ反应中心活性受到抑制。坛紫菜叶状体在失水初期的光合活性不受影响, 当叶状体表面水膜厚度降到0后, 叶状体细胞内部开始失水, 光合活性也显著下降。严重脱水状态(失水率为75%)下, Fv/Fm、NPQ、α和ETRm较失水初期分别下降了41%、69%、38%和43%。这些研究结果表明, 坛紫菜叶状体在干出失水初期, 水分损失是由于表面水膜损失引起的, 水膜厚度随着失水率的增加呈线性下降, 表面水膜厚度的下降影响了藻体的热耗散能力; 随着失水率进一步增加, 叶状体的光合活性和热耗散能力受到不利影响, 其中热耗散能力对叶状体含水量的变化更为敏感。     

海水升温与氮限制对三角褐指藻生长及光合作用的影响

以硅藻三角褐指藻为实验材料,研究升温(24℃)与氮限制(40μmol/L)对藻细胞生长及光合特性的影响。结果显示,氮限制使得电子从Q_A~-到Q_B的传递受阻,降低了其对光能的吸收利用效率,导致其对高光强的耐受能力下降,从而降低生长速率。而升温并未影响三角褐指藻细胞电子传递速率、单位反应中心耗散的能量(DI_o/RC)、捕获的用于还原Q_A的能量(TR_o/RC)以及吸收的能量(ABS/RC)等,表明升温对其PSⅡ光化学反应影响不显著。但应对高光强时,升温使得藻细胞修复速率降低,导致藻细胞受光抑制明显。本研究表明,相对于温度,氮限制对三角褐指藻细胞光合作用和生长的影响更为显著,而海水升温与氮限制耦合作用会进一步影响三角褐指藻的初级生产贡献。     

重金属胁迫对纤细角毛藻生长及叶绿素荧光特性的影响

研究了不同浓度的重金属离子(Cu2 ,Zn2 ,Cd2 )胁迫不同时间(24,48,72和96 h)后,纤细角毛藻生长及叶绿素荧光特性的变化情况.测定的主要参数有:PSII最大光能转化效率(Fv/Fm),PSII的潜在活性(Fv/Fo),PSII实际光能转化效率(Yield=ΦPSII),相对光合电子传递效率(rETR),光化学淬灭(qP)和非光化学淬灭(NPQ).实验结果表明,重金属离子(Cu2 ,Zn2 ,Cd2 )胁迫下纤细角毛藻的叶绿素荧光参数Fv/Fm,Fv/Fo,Yield和rETR均明显降低,并且随着重金属离子浓度的增加,胁迫时间的延长,下降幅度逐步增大;重金属胁迫下,细胞密度和叶绿素含量也显著降低.3种重金属离子的半抑制浓度(EC50)的计算结果表明,胁迫时间为24和48 h时,3种重金属离子对纤细角毛藻各叶绿素荧光参数(Fv/Fm,Fv/Fo,Yield,Chll content)的毒性大小顺序为Cu2 ＞Zn2 ＞Cd2 ;胁迫时间为72和96 h时,3种重金属离子的毒性大小顺序为Cd2 ＞Cu2 ＞Zn2 .本文还对叶绿素荧光技术在检测微藻对重金属胁迫敏感性中的应用进行了初步探讨.     

盐度降低对长心卡帕藻原初光化学反应的影响

为探讨大量降雨如何导致热带产胶海藻长心卡帕藻死亡,通过快速叶绿素荧光诱导动力学曲线分析,研究了盐度降低对热带产胶海藻长心卡帕藻光化学反应的影响,结果表明,盐度降低对PSⅡ反应中心、供体和受体侧的光化学过程产生不同程度的影响。盐度为28时,虽然反应中心开放程度下降11%,受体侧PQ库减小,QA被还原次数下降,反应中心吸收光能出现下降同时热耗散能量出现增加,但是单位面积反应中心RC/CS0,RC/CSm数量显著增加,单位反应中心(或面积)用于电子传递能量都增加,因此最大光能转化效率未降低,光合性能指数甚至增加。上述结果意味着虽然盐度下降到28改变了长心卡帕藻光化学过程,但并没有严重影响到光合作用效率,属于可逆胁变。盐度降低到22时,长心卡帕藻反应中心吸收、捕获和用于电子传递的能量均下降,但是热耗散能上升,反应中心受体侧PQ库和QA被还原次数均显著下降,向反应中心PSⅠ传递的电子受阻,即盐度低于22时长心卡帕藻未有效转化所吸收光能,过剩激发能对光合机构产生损伤,藻体光合开始发生不可逆胁变。当盐度为18时,该藻PSⅡ开放的反应中心数量大大减少,单位面积内电子传递能量也减少,其最大光能转化效率和光合性能指数均明显下降,因此盐度低于18时藻体不可避免地死亡。     

盐胁迫对盐生杜氏藻生长及叶绿素荧光特性的影响3期王帅,等:盐胁迫对盐生杜氏藻生长及叶绿素荧光特性的影响35

以盐生杜氏藻(Dunaliella salina)为实验材料,研究在不同盐度(5,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120,130)下处理不同时间后(12、24和48h),该藻的生长及叶绿素荧光特性的变化情况。结果表明,盐生杜氏藻生长和进行光合作用的最适盐度为100,适宜盐度范围为20~110。在盐度过低(20)和过高(110)的胁迫条件下,盐生杜氏藻PSII的荧光指标(Fv/Fm、ΦPSII、Fv/Fo和rETR)显著降低。该藻的细胞密度和叶绿素含量均在盐度100时达到最大值。相关性分析结果表明,盐生杜氏藻的荧光指标(Fv/Fm、ΦPSII、Fv/Fo和rETR)与细胞密度呈极显著的正相关性,因此可通过PSII荧光指标的变化来反映该藻对盐胁迫的耐受性。本文还对盐胁迫下盐生杜氏藻的响应机制和叶绿素荧光技术在筛选耐盐微藻品种中的应用进行了初步探讨。     

硅浓度对筒柱藻B169生长、叶绿素荧光参数、总脂含量及脂肪酸组成的影响

本文以底栖硅藻筒柱藻(Cylindrotheca sp.)为实验材料,研究了一次性培养过程中,不同硅浓度即:0mg/L(Si0)、8.35mg/L(Si1)、33.4mg/L(Si2)、133.6mg/L(Si3)、534.4mg/L(Si4)和1068.8mg/L(Si5)对藻细胞密度、叶绿素荧光参数、叶绿素含量、总脂含量及脂肪酸组成的影响。结果表明:第5~9d,筒柱藻的细胞密度随硅浓度的增加而增加,硅浓度较高的Si3、Si4和Si5处理组的细胞密度显著高于硅浓度较低的Si0、Si1和Si2处理组的细胞密度。第1~9d,Si5处理组的荧光参数F_v/F_m(PSII的最大光能转换效率)和F_v/F_o(PSII的潜在活性)均显著低于其它处理组。第3~6d,Si3处理组的上述荧光参数均显著高于其它处理组。第1~7d,Si4和Si5处理组的荧光参数φPSII(PSII的实际光能转化效率)和rETR(相对电子传递效率)均显著低于其它处理组,其中Si5处理组的上述荧光参数最低,其次是Si4处理组。筒柱藻的叶绿素含量随着硅浓度的增加而增加,到Si3处理组叶绿素含量达最高值,之后叶绿素含量下降,Si3处理组的叶绿素含量最高,Si0处理组的叶绿素含量最低。筒柱藻的总脂含量随硅浓度的增加而降低,Si0处理组的总脂含量最高,Si5处理组的总脂含量最低。筒柱藻的主要脂肪酸是1 4:0(5.1 5~8.7l%)、16:0(22.40~42.27%)、1 6:1n-7(3l.40~33.12%)、16:3n-4(1.89~8.45%)、20:4n-6(5.95~11.39%)和20:5n-3(EPA)(3.47~8.07%)。饱和脂肪酸含量随着硅浓度的增加而降低,多不饱和脂肪酸含量随着硅浓度的增加而增加,硅浓度对单不饱和脂肪酸的影响差异不显著。经济价值较大的20:4n-6和20:5n-3含量均在Si3和Si4处理组达到最高值。     

Microbial Biomass and Organic Nutrients in the Deep-Sea Sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin

In order to assess the impact of deep-sea mining on the in situ benthic life, we measured the microbial standing stock and concentration of organic nutrients in the deep-sea sediments of the Central Indian Ocean Basin in the Indian pioneer area. Sediments were collected using box core and grab samples during September 1996. The total bacterial numbers ranged from 10 10 -10 11 cells per g -1 dry weight sediment. There was a marginal decrease in the number of bacteria from surface to 30 cm depth, though the subsurface section registered a higher number than did the surface. The highest numbers were encountered at depths of 4-8 cm. The retrievable number of bacteria were two orders less in comparison with the direct total counts of bacteria. An almost homogeneous distribution of bacteria, total organic carbon, living biomass, and lipids throughout the depth of cores indicates active microbial and benthic processes in the deep sea sediments. On the other hand, a uniform distribution of total counts of bacteria, carbohydrates, and total organic carbon in all the cores indicates their stable nature and suggests that they can serve as useful parameters for long-term monitoring of the area after the benthic disturbance. Further studies on temporal variability in this region would not only verify the observed norms of distribution of these variables but would also help to understand restabilization processes after the simulated benthic disturbance.     

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中桩周土强度弱化研究

海上大直径钢管桩打桩过程中,桩周土体受到强烈扰动而发生强度弱化,掌握桩周土体强度弱化规律对于准确预测打桩过程、保证工程安全具有重要意义。为研究土体强度弱化规律,开展了环剪试验模拟打桩对桩周土体的扰动,测试土体强度随剪切速率的变化规律,建立了描述土体强度弱化规律的拟合公式,引入到打桩分析软件中。研究结果表明：土体的强度折减程度不仅与土体本身的性质有关还受到土体的埋深和剪切速率的影响,埋深越深土体强度折减程度越低,剪切速率越高土体强度折减越高,在打桩分析中可采用这里推荐的线性折减方法来模拟不同深度处土体强度的折减规律。     

Geoacoustic Inversion via Genetic Algorithm and Its Application to Manganese Sediment Identification

An acoustic inversion method using a wide-band signal and two near field receivers is proposed and applied to multiple layered seabed models including a manganese sediment. The inversion problem can be formulated into a probabilistic model comprised of signals, a forward model, and additive noise. The forward model simulates wide-band signals, such as chirp signals, and is chosen to be the source-waveletconvolution plane wave modeling method. The wavelet matching technique, using weighted least-squares fitting, estimates the sediment sound-speed and thickness on which determination of the possible numerical ranges for a priori uniform distribution is based. The genetic algorithm is applied to a global optimization problem to find a maximum a posteriori solution for determined a priori search space. Here the object function is defined by an L 2 norm of the difference between measured and modeled signals. Not only the marginal pdf but also its statistics are calculated by numerical evaluation of integrals using the samples selected during importance sampling process of the genetic algorithm.     

A Review of Some Environmental Issues Affecting Marine Mining

This article reviews information recently available from existing marine and coastal mining for responses to environmental issues affecting marine mining at different depths. It is particularly but not exclusively concerned with those issues affecting seabed biodiversity impact and recovery. Much information has been gathered in the past 10 years from shallow mining operations for construction aggregate, diamonds, and gold, from coastal mines discharging tailings to shallow and deep water, and from experimental deep mining tests. The responses to issues identified are summarized in a series of eight tables intended to facilitate site-specific consideration. Since impacts can spread widely in the surface mixing layer SML, and can affect the biologically productive euphotic zone, the main issues considered arise from the depth of mining relative to the SML of the sea. Where mining is below the SML, the issue is whether it is environmentally better to bring the extraction products to the surface vessel for processing (and waste discharge), or to process the extraction products as much as possible on the seabed. Responses to the issues need to be sitespecific, and dependent on adequate preoperational environmental impact and recovery prediction. For deep tailings disposal from a surface vessel, there are four important environmental unknowns: (1) the possible growth of "marine snow" (bacterial flocs) utilizing the enormous quantities of fine tailings particles (hundreds or thousands of metric tons per day) as nuclei for growth, (2) the possibility that local keystone plankton and nekton species may migrate diurnally down to and beyond the depth of deep discharge and hence be subjected to tailings impact at depth, (3) the burrow-up capability of deep benthos and their ability to survive high rates of tailings deposition, and (4) the pattern and rate of dispersion of a tailings density current through the deep water column from discharge point to seabed. Actions to obtain relevant information in general and site-specifically are suggested.     

Increased Particle Fluxes at the INDEX Site Attributable to Simulated Benthic Disturbance

Particle fluxes were measured 7 m above the sea bottom during the predisturbance, disturbance, and postdisturbance periods by using time series sediment traps attached to seven deep-sea moorings deployed in the INDEX experiment site in the Central Indian Basin. The predisturbance particle fluxes varied between 22.3 to 55.1 mg m -2 day -1 . Increased and variable particle fluxes were recorded by the sediment traps during the disturbance period. The increase observed was 0.5 to 4 times more than the background predisturbance fluxes. The increases in particle fluxes (~4 times) recorded by the sediment trap located in the southwestern direction (DMS-1) were the greatest, which could be the result of preferential movement of resuspended particles generated during the deep-sea benthic disturbance along the general current direction prevailing in this area during the experimental period. Also, the traps located closer to the disturbance area recorded greater fluxes than did the traps far away, across the Deep Sea Sediment Resuspension System path. This variability in recorded particle fluxes by the traps around the disturbance area clearly indicates that physical characteristics such as grain size and density of the resuspended particles produced during the disturbance had an important effect on particle movement. The postdisturbance measurements during ~5 days showed a reduction in particle fluxes of ~50%, indicating rapid particle settlement.     

Phylogenetic diversity and phenotypic characterization of cultivable bacterioplankton isolated from polar oceans

A set of 27 marine planktonic bacteria isolated from the polar regions was characterized by 16S rDNA sequencing and physiological and biochemical testing. More than half of these bacteria were positive for caseinase, gelatinase and 13-glucosidase, and could utilize glucose, maltose or malic acid as carbon source for cell growth. Twelve isolates expressed nitrate reduction activities. Except for one antarctic isolate BSwlO175 belonging to Actinobacteria phylum, these isolates were classified as γ-Proteobacteria, suggesting that γ-Proteobacteria dominated in cultivable marine bacterioplankton at both poles. Genus Pseudoalteromonas was the predominant group in the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea, and genus ShewaneUa dominated in cultivable bacterioplankton in the Prydz Bay. With sequence similarities above 97%, genus Psychrobacter was found at both poles. These 27 isolates were psychrotolerant, and significant 16S rDNA sequence similarities were found not only between arctic and antarctic marine bacteria （ 〉 99% ）, but also between polar marine bacteria and bacteria from other aquatic environments （ ≥ 98.8% ）, including temperate ocean, deep sea, pond and lake, suggesting that in the polar oceans less temperature-sensitive bacteria may be cosmopolitan and have a bipolar, even global, distribution at the species level.     

Determination of In Situ Sediment Shear Strength from Advanced Piston Corer Pullout Forces

The advanced piston corer (APC) has been used by the Ocean Drilling Program since 1985 for recovering soft sediments from the ocean floor. The pullout force measured on extracting the core barrel from the sediment is shown to correlate with the average shear strength of the sediment core measured in the ship's laboratory. A simple rule of thumb is derived relating the shear strength of the sediment to the pullout force. Multiple APC holes at individual sites allow the consistency of the pullout measurements to be assessed. The effects of different operational procedures during APC coring are also explored. Although generally applicable, the correlation between pullout force and laboratory measurements of shear strength breaks down for some APC holes, possibly because of the disturbance of some sediment types during the APC coring process. A better understanding of the physical process of APC coring, and its effect on the properties of the sediment both inside and immediately outside the core barrel, would indicate what confidence can be put on the measurement of pullout force as a way of evaluating the in situ shear strength of deep sea sediments.     

Deep-Sea Sediment Compression Curves: Some Controlling Factors, Spurious Overconsolidation, Predictions, and Geophysical Reproduction

Oedometer tests have been carried out on 70 undisturbed surficial clays (at approximately 250 mm below the mudline), mostly collected by free-fall corers from sites widely scattered throughout the deep-sea North Atlantic. Acoustic measurements were also made, initially on contiguous samples and ultimately on the same sample using a geophysically instrumented oedometer which also collected electrical resistivity data. Apart from those quiescent areas below the carbonate compensation depth, such as north of the West Indies where very fine clays exist, most of the samples are silty clays whose geotechnical-geophysical properties are dependent on the type of clay minerals present (and their ability to take in moisture), the sand-size fraction, and the quantity of carbonate present. Thus the pure clays have high compressibilities which decrease on the addition of coarse particles, while the converse is true for the acoustic parameters, these increasing with the sand fraction. Using the notion of the intrinsic compression line for all samples, and comparison to it of the measured compression curves, it is clear that, contrary to some previously held ideas, most deep-sea clays are normally consolidated; the addition of carbonate has the effect of creating an open, stronger sediment skeleton. Interestingly, where information is available, the variation with depth of a sample's acoustic velocity follows the void ratio pressure relationship of the compression curve. This allows the construction of an in-situ sediment compression curve using the in-situ geophysical observations.
