潮间带大型海藻孔石莼和鼠尾藻对铜胁迫的生理响应

以潮间带大型海藻孔石莼(Ulvapertusa)及鼠尾藻(Sargassumthunbergii)为试材,研究了不同Cu~(2+)浓度(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mg/L)胁迫下海藻中叶绿素含量、光合特性和ATP酶活性的响应变化。结果表明,随Cu~(2+)浓度增加,孔石莼及鼠尾藻的光合色素含量、叶绿素荧光参数包括光能利用效率(alpha)、最大相对电子传递速率(rETRm)、半饱和光强(IK)及PSⅡ最大光能转化效率(F_v/F_m)随胁迫浓度升高均呈下降趋势,其中孔石莼F_v/F_m下降幅度更大;2种海藻中Na~+K~+-ATP及Ca~(2+)Mg~(2+)-ATP酶活性总体上随Cu~(2+)浓度的升高亦呈降低趋势,且孔石莼降低幅度尤为显著。这些结果表明,随胁迫程度加剧,孔石莼及鼠尾藻光合作用受抑,代谢酶活性降低,藻体遭受不可逆的严重损伤,处理体现出较明显的剂量效应;二者相比,鼠尾藻相比孔石莼对铜胁迫具更强的耐受性;叶绿素荧光参数F_v/F_m测定结果极其稳定且与胁迫程度相关极显著,可作为海藻生长及生理代谢对重金属耐受性的有效评价指标。     

Intraspecific diet shift in Talitrus saltator inhabiting exposed sandy beaches

Talitrid amphipods are the most abundant herbivores on exposed sandy beaches. Despite their important role as trophic intermediates between macrophytes and higher levels (i.e. insect and bird) of beach food webs, very little information is available on their feeding patterns. The main aim of this study was to investigate intraspecific differences in the feeding behaviour of Talitrus saltator. We tested the hypotheses that: (1) adult females and males showed different isotope signatures and therefore relied on different sources of food; and (2) patterns of variation of isotope signatures of juveniles differed from those of adult specimens, evidencing a diet shift during the development. We used stable isotope signatures and tested for differences upon the level on the shore, times of the year and beaches experiencing similar morpho-dynamic and environmental conditions. Finally, we investigated the trophic significance of macrophyte detritus in the diet of males, females and juveniles. Results showed that adult males had a more variable diet than females and juveniles (inferred from δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values). Dual-isotope graphs suggested that Sargassum muticum and Cystoseira baccata wrack could be among the main food sources for both juvenile and adult stage.     

Inhibitory effects and mechanisms of high molecular-weight phlorotannins from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sargassum thunbergii</Emphasis> on ADP-induced platelet aggregation

鼠尾藻(Sargassum thunbergii)有性生殖过程与育苗

采用室内培养和野外实地观测的方法,研究了鼠尾藻的生长发育和有性生殖过程,并在此基础上进行了有性生殖人工育苗实验。结果表明,鼠尾藻在海水温度高于22℃时,生殖托开始发育,海水温度超过23℃以后,生殖托的生长速度加快,海水温度超过24℃时,生殖托生长速度最快并迅速成熟,在海水温度达到26℃时,观察到了卵的集中排放挂托现象。鼠尾藻卵的排放较为齐整且有一定的先后顺序,生殖托基部的卵最先排出,中部次之,最后是顶部,雄托排精时间要稍晚于雌托排卵时间。受精卵大约在受精1h后进行第一次细胞分裂,分裂面与长轴垂直,大约2h后进行第二次分裂,下端细胞的分裂面平行于第一次分裂方向,而上端细胞的分裂面则垂直,随后大约每2—4h细胞分裂一次。从卵挂托到幼胚脱落一般需要24—48h。观察发现,生殖窝不仅存在于生殖托上,在部分生殖枝上也有分布。在鼠尾藻的人工育苗的实验中,胚苗在苗帘上的生长状态良好。     

A Spectral-Mixing Model for Estimating Sub-Pixel Coverage of Sea-Surface Floating Macroalgae

ABSTRACT

In the past decade, floating macroalgae blooms have been increasing on a global scale. Sub-pixel coverage of floating macroalgae in a remote-sensing image is a crucial parameter for the estimation of biomass. In this study, in situ spectra of green macroalgae (Ulva prolifera), brown macroalgae (Sargassum horneri), and sea water were collected, and they were used to simulate the spectra of macroalgae–seawater mixtures in a linear mixing way. Three algae indices, normalized difference of vegetation index (NDVI), difference of vegetation index (DVI), and virtual-baseline reflectance height for floating algae (VB-FAH) derived from the spectra, were examined with the coverage of macroalgae. The results show that all three indices increase monotonically with increasing sub-pixel coverage of macroalgae: VB-FAH and DVI increase linearly, while NDVI shows a logarithmic increase. Based on this characteristic, two sub-pixel coverage models were proposed (i.e., a linear model based on VB-FAH (or DVI) and an exponential model based on NDVI). These models were then applied to the multiple-spectral GaoFen-1 (GF-1, 16?m resolution) satellite image to examine the sub-pixel coverage of green tide in the Yellow Sea caused by the bloom of floating green macroalgae (U. prolifera). The results show that the relative differences between the two models are no more than 5%, indicating good consistency between the two models. Taking into account the sensitivity of these models (or indices) to the coverage of macroalgae, as well as atmospheric and sea surface conditions and their simplicity, we suggest using the linear model based on VB-FAH, DVI, or a similar band-difference index to estimate sub-pixel coverage of floating macroalgae.

于１９９６年３－８月在广东、广西及青岛沿海采集了部分代表性马尾藻,采用银盐分光光度法对新鲜样品中砷的化学形态,季节变化进行了研究。结果表明,广东,广西沿海马尾藻的总砷和无机砷含量较高,其中羊栖菜的无机砷含量占其总砷的５６．７３％,说明马尾藻富集无机砷的能力较强。青岛沿海鼠尾藻和海黍子的总砷含量在生长初期最低,成熟增至最高,无机砷占总砷的比例也表现出类似的季节变化,说明藻体砷含量与其生长周期有密切联

急性UVB辐射对粉叶马尾藻过氧化损伤和主要抗氧化酶的影响

粉叶马尾藻(Sargassum glaucescens)是台湾地区潮间带的重要大型藻类,其对紫外线增强的生理响应特征尚不清楚。本研究关注粉叶马尾藻在急性紫外线辐射(Ultraviolet radiation B,UVB)下的生理指标变化,探索了粉叶马尾藻在急性UVB辐照下抗氧化系统的瞬时反应过程。结果表明:低强度组[0.5W/(m2·s)]藻体在24h内未出现显著氧化损伤和蛋白质含量变化,但是细胞活力在辐照12h后显著降低,藻体超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)酶活性随辐照时间延长而降低,过氧化氢酶(CAT)酶活性呈现升高后下降的趋势,抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)酶活性没有出现显著降低;高强度组[2W/(m2·s)]藻体在辐照3h后藻体出现明显氧化损伤,6h后细胞活力和蛋白质含量显著降低,藻体SOD酶活性随辐照时间延长而降低,CAT和APX酶活性呈现升高后降低的趋势,辐射12h后即显著降低。低强度UVB辐射对粉叶马尾藻的影响相对较小,表明粉叶马尾藻对UVB辐射具有一定耐受性;而高强度UVB辐射的影响较为显著,意味着UVB辐射的持续增强将超出粉叶马尾藻的耐受限度,进而造成不利影响。本研究结果初步揭示了粉叶马尾藻对于急性UVB辐射的增强的生理响应特征,为进一步研究UVB辐射增强的生态学效应提供参考依据。

镉离子胁迫下半叶马尾藻中国变种生理生化响应的研究

研究了不同浓度梯度Cd²⁺对半叶马尾藻中国变种(Sargassum.hemiphyllum var.chinense)相对生长速率(RGR)及生理生化指标如丙二醛(MDA)、叶绿素a(Chl-a)、类胡萝卜素(Car)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)等的影响,探索半叶马尾藻中国变种对污染水体中Cd²⁺的适应机理。结果表明,低浓度的Cd²⁺能促进藻体的生长,但胁迫浓度为0.5 mg·L^-1的相对生长速率比0.05 mg·L^-1的高; MDA含量随着Cd²⁺浓度的增加而升高,浓度越高的变化越明显;Chl-a和Car含量的影响呈波动状态;SOD、POD、CAT活性则呈现先升高后降低的趋势,相对于对照组,胁迫组所对应的SOD活性没有显著差异(P>0.05),而POD、CAT活性存在极显著差异(P<0.01)。可溶性糖类含量只有低浓度0.5 mg·L^-1与对照组存在显著差异(P<0.05),而可溶性蛋白在高浓度5.0mg·L^-1和10.0 mg·L^-1均与对照组存在显著差异(P<0.05)。因此,适当质量浓度的Cd²⁺胁迫对半叶马尾藻中国变种生长和生理生化指标有正面效应,而过高质量浓度Cd²⁺胁迫(≥5.0mg·L^-1)对藻体生长和抗逆能力有一定的负面影响,研究结果可为选育优良海藻进行近岸海洋环境修复提供理论依据。
