EFFECT OF NITRATE AND PHOSPHATE ON ACCUMULATION OF β-CAROTENE ISOMERS IN DUNALIELLA SALINA

DunaIiella salina, a halotolerent unicellular green alga, can accurmulate a Iarge amount of β-caroteneunder environmental conditions. The isorners of β-carotene extIacted from D. salina culturedin medium with different nitrate and phosphate concentrations were analysed by HPLC with Alox-Talumins column. At least six isomers were found in different proportions depending on the culture me-dia's nitrate and/or phosphate concentrations. Nitrate and/or phosphae defidency was conducive tothe accumulation of totaI cis isomers but not of al1 trans isomer. lt is sUggeSted that 1 mmol/L KNO_3and 0.1 mmol/L KH_2, PO_4 are favourable for accumulation of total cis β-carotene.     

The relationship between tidal current field and sediment transport in the Huanghai Sea and the Bohai Sea

-Based on a two-dimensional numerical M2 tidal model of the Huanghai and Bohai Seas, sediment transport of particles with different sizes in the computational area is given. It is concluded that tidal currents play an important role in sediment transport and deposition in the Huanghai and Bohai Seas.     

Seasonal variation of global surface pressure and water vapor

Previous studies have shown that the seasonal variation of global-mean surface pressure ( p _s) results from variation of global-mean water vapor pressure ( p _w). The current study, employing the global data generated by Version 1 of the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-1) Data Assimilation System, shows that seasonal variations of regional p _s and p _w tend to be out of phase (particularly in the subtropics of the two hemispheres) and that the magnitude of the former variation is generally much larger than that of the latter. The seasonal variations of these two quantities are maintained by airmass and water vapor transports by the global divergent circulation, which is driven by the latent heat released by cumulus convection over the water vapor sink, as the "water mass forcing" mechanism predicted. Since p _w and p _s are used often in depicting the climate system, assessments of climate change in terms of the global-mean and regional variations of these two variables should be interpreted with caution.     

RADIOLARIA IN CORES FROM THE OKINAWA TROUGH

A total of 149 genus and 238 species of Radiolaria in cores from four stations in the Okinawa Trough are examined in this paper. Water depths and cores lengths at these stations are 602-1900 m and 1.7-2.4 m respectively (see Fig. 1). Based on the distributional characteristic of Radiolaria and the radio-larian temperature number (Tr), the climatic fluctuations since the last 150 000 years and the stratigra-phic classification are also discussed.
