Abstract: In three species of algae and three species of cyanobacteria excretion of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) during photosynthesis on H super(14)CO sub(3) ranged from 0 multiplied by 03 to 0 multiplied by 39 mu g C mu g Chl/a/h. Extracellular DOC from Anabaena cylindrica) was assimilated by a Flavobacter sp. However, Lysobacter CP-1, an organism closely associated with bloom-forming cyanobacteria, increased the amount of DOC released by photosynthesizing Gloeotrichia echinulata and A. cylindrica . No similar effect was found with mixed cultures of Lysobacter CP-1 and Scenedesmus quadricauda . Lysobacter CP-1 grew in filtrates of A. cylindrica and S. quadricauda cultures predominantly at the expense of the following amino acids; aspartate, glutamate, isoleucine, glycine, histidine and serine/glutamine. The results presented here suggest that the metabolism of Lysobacter CP-1 is finely tuned to the extracellular DOC released by algae and cyanobacteria.

Abstract: The rate of growth, the content of heterocysts and the activity of nitrogenase in the cyanobacteria Anabaena cylindrica, A. sphaerica, Gloetrichia raciborskii, Nostoc calcicola and N. muscorum isolated from the soil of Vietnam rice fields and growing in the presence of N2 decreased when different forms of bound nitrogen (NH4+, NO3-, urea) were added to the medium (<1.0 mM). The presence of low ammonium concns. (<0.1 mM) in the medium did not stimulate the nitrogenase activity of these cyanobacteria. They released considerable quantities of fixed N2 in the form of ammonium into the medium in the presence of L-methionine-DL-sulfoximine, a glutamine synthetase inhibitor. The frequency of heterocyst formation did not correlate with the level of nitrogenase activity. G. raciborskii nitrogenase was most resistant to the repressing action of the bound nitrogen forms.

Abstract: Expts. were conducted to assess the effects of the application of P on growth and N yield of inoculated and indigenous blue-green algae (BGA) in fallow paddy fields. Addn. of 17.4 kg P ha-1 as single superphosphate in split applications led to the highest BGA biomass and N yield, 162 kg dry wt. ha-1 and 6 kg N ha-1 per 15 days, resp. When inoculum of Aulosira spp., Aphanothece spp., Gloeotrichia spp. were compared sep., Gloeotrichia spp. grew faster but Aulosira spp. fixed more N. The growth rate and N yield of Aulosira spp. decreased with high P applications, although growth continued until the application of 34.8 kg P ha-1. The effects of P on inoculum prodn. by local species compared with those collected from other states showed the superiority of the local culture. Applications of P also enhanced the growth and N yield of indigenous BGA, with Wollea spp. showing the best results. [on SciFinder (R)]

Abstract: Ests. of nitrogenase activity (using the acetylene redn. assay technique) were made on colonies of G. pisum in a deepwater rice-field in Bangladesh, where this species is often the dominant alga, and on a clonal axenic lab. isolate. The study focused on the influence of light flux, because rapid and frequent changes are a feature of the light climate during the monsoon season. The response of nitrogenase to changes in light flux was quite rapid in the field and the lab. During one field study over a 24-h period lacking any long overcast period, only 3.7% of the total nitrogenase activity took place during the night. In batch culture, higher nitrogenase activity (per unit time) occurred for a period of about 12 h after a culture, which had been left in the dark for 12 h and had been re-illuminated, than the max. activity found under continuous illumination. The increase reached a max. of .apprx.100% after 3.5 h, and by 12 h this increased activity had made good 80% of the total activity lost by incubating the culture in darkness rather than light.

Abstract: Akinete differentiation in Gloeotrichia echinulata is stimulated in batch cultures in the absence of a source of combined nitrogen. When inorganic nitrogen is available in the medium, the logarithmic phase of growth is prolonged and akinetes form at a higher culture density than when dinitrogen is supplied as the sole source of this element. Light quality also influences the timing of akinete differentiation; akinetes are formed at a lower culture density in green light in comparison to white light, particularly in the absence of combined nitrogen. These observations are interpreted in terms of the light energy requirement for the maintenance of growth and the spectral requirements for nitrogen fixation in cultures free of combined nitrogen. The data are related to the influence of variations in underwater light climate on the development of akinetes in natural populations of planktonic blue-green algae.

Title: Underwater Light Climate and the Growth and Pigmentation of Planktonic Blue-Green Algae (Cyanobacteria) I. The Influence of Light Quantity
Journal: Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences
Volume: 227
Issue: 1248
Pages: 367-380
Date: Apr. 22
Abstract: The influence of variation in light quantity on the growth and pigmentation of eight strains of planktonic blue-green algae has been investigated under defined laboratory conditions. In light-limited cultures the relative concentrations of chlorophyll and phycobiliproteins per cell decline at a similar rate with increasing irradiance. Once maximum growth rate is reached, however, exposure to higher photon flux densities results in a further decline in light-harvesting capacity per cell and also in a reduction in the light absorption bandwidth owing to a preferential decrease in phycobiliprotein synthesis. Quantitative and qualitative changes in the net rates of pigment synthesis at high irradiance appear to be part of an overall mechanism that serves to maintain maximum growth rate under conditions that might otherwise favour chlorophyll photooxidation. At irradiances below those required for maximum growth rate, the net rates of chlorophyll and phycobiliprotein synthesis decline as growth becomes progressively light-limited. Such limitations of pigment synthesis appear to be imposed by genotypic constraints on the maximum cell density and on the size of photosynthetic units rather than by either light or nutrient limitation of chlorophyll and phycobiliprotein synthesis.

Issue: 1248
Pages: 381-393
Date: Apr. 22
Abstract: The influence of light quality on the growth and chlorophyll and phycobiliprotein composition of eight strains of planktonic blue-green algae has been investigated. Growth rate in chromatic (red, green, blue) light (12 $\mu $E m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$) (1 $\mu $E = 6 $\times $ 10$^{17}$ photons) is a general function of the light absorption capacity of the cell. In all strains examined growth rate is enhanced in red light, and in Oscillatoria redekei and Gloeotrichia echinulata CC1 it exceeds the maximum growth rate possible in white light of a higher photon flux density under otherwise similar experimental conditions. In green light the growth rate of six phycocyanin-rich strains is approximately 60-75% of that in white light (12 $\mu $E m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$), but growth rate is enhanced in O. agardhii 7821 and G. echinulata CC1, which synthesize the green-light-absorbing phycobiliprotein, phycoerythrin. With the exception of these two phycoerythrin-producing strains, incubation in blue light results in a pronounced reduction in growth rate, which in the majority of strains is associated with a specific decline in cell chlorophyll concentrations. In all strains cell chlorophyll and phycobiliprotein content is similar in both white and green light. Associated with the enhancement of growth rate in red light there is a general decline in cell pigment concentrations. An increase in the cell chlorophyll: phycobiliprotein ratio also occurs in a number of strains in red light. This qualitative variation in pigmentation occurs where growth rate is at or near its maximum rate and in Gloeotrichia echinulata CC1 is the result of a specific reduction in the rate of phycoerythrin synthesis. In contrast to other blue-green algae capable of chromatic adaptation, the modulation of phycoerythrin synthesis in this strain is influenced considerably by the photon flux density of red light.

Abstract: An account is given of changes in water chemistry and algal vegeation in one Thailand deepwater rice field (Huntra) through the 1983-1984 flood season, together with comparative observations at this and two other sites in September 1982. The Huntra field had standing water for almost six months (July-January), reaching a maximum depth of 175 cm in late October. The attached algal vegetation was dominated by heterocystous species of blue-green algae throughout the period, suggesting the importance of nitrogen fixation; the most abundant genera were Nostoc , Gloeotrichia, Aulosira and Anabaena (in decreasing order). Green algae were the next most important phylum, with Bulbochaete and Oedogonium predominant. Diatoms showed an obvious increase in abundance in October.

Abstract: Ultraviolet (u.v.) irradiation and treatment with nitrosoguanidine (NTG) were used to produce mutants of the cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia ghosei. Three non-nitrogen fixing (nif$^-$) mutants, which were also altered in their morphological characteristics, were isolated. They were designated as fil$^1$ het$^+$, fil$^1$ het$^++$ and pol$^-$ het$^-$. The first two mutants formed heterocysts and exhibited polarity while the third (i.e. pol$^-$ het$^-$) had neither heterocysts nor polarity. The fil$^1$ het$^+$ strain had a developmental pattern similar to that of the parent alga, but with longer filaments, while the fil$^1$ het$^{++}$ strain formed chains of intercalary heterocysts and the long filaments showed evidence of intercalary polarity. The isolation of these mutants demonstrates the feasibility of using Gloeotrichia to relate developmental morphology to nitrogen fixation and heterocyst differentiation in a filamentous cyanobacterium.

Abstract: Inhibition by L-methionine-DL-sulfoximine (MSX) of growth, NO3- and NH4+ uptake in G. ghosei disappeared after a lag period of 6-8 days. The ability of the organism to resume growth or N uptake following a lag period was not due to decay of the inhibitor. Amino acids such as glutamine or methionine, which function as N sources, abolished the inhibitory action of MSX. [on SciFinder (R)]
