Title: The presence of cellulose in heterocyst envelopes of blue-green algae and its role in relation to nitrogen fixation
Journal: Physiologia Plantarum
Volume: 38
Issue: 3
Pages: 208-16
Accession Number: AN 1977:13903
Keywords: Nitrogen fixation (by blue-green algae, cell wall cellulose in relation to); Cell wall (cellulose of, of blue-green algae, nitrogen fixation in relation to); Anabaena inaequalis; Gloeotrichia echinulata (nitrogen fixation by, cell wall cellulose in relation to); Algae (blue-green, nitrogen fixation by, cell wall cellulose in relation to)
algae nitrogen fixation cellulose; cell wall cellulose algae; Anabaena nitrogen fixation cellulose; Gloeotrichia nitrogen fixation cellulose
Abstract: The presence of cellulose in the heterocyst envelope of blue-green algae (Anabaena inaequalis and Gloeotrichia echinulata) was studied by electron microscopy, cellulase treatments, and sp. staining. The role of this cellulose in the protection of the heterocyst nitrogenase during acetylene redn. was obsd. Expts. with lysozyme and cellulase suggest that N fixation in heterocystous blue-green algae under aerobic conditions is functionally effective only when an intimate relation exists between vegetative cells and heterocysts and both cell types have intact wall structures.

Abstract: To simulate early stages in the diagenesis of algal material in lakes, microbial attack was allowed to proceed on natural populations of 2 blue-green algal species, Gloeotrichia echinulata and Oscillatoria agardhii. Changes in compn. and abundance of the major lipid fractions were related to differences in the ease of microbial attack and to the effect of O on the decay process. The loss of labile unsatd. compds. during diagenesis is consistent with the small amt. of these compds. in most lake sediments. [on SciFinder (R)]

Title: The Ultrastructure of Collema tenax, with Particular Reference to Microtubule-Like Inclusions and Vesicle Production by the Phycobiont
Journal: New Phytologist
Volume: 76
Issue: 1
Pages: 121-128
Date: Jan.
Abstract: An ultrastructural study of the vegetative thallus of Collema tenax (SW). Ach, showed that although haustorial connections were absent, the mycobiont did occasionally penetrate the algal sheath material. Concentric bodies and mesosome-like structures were characteristically found in the mycobiont. Normal and senescent blue-green algal cells were found alongside unusual vesiculating cells. Vesicles from these latter cells are apparently produced by reverse pinocytosis of plastoglobuli. These vesicles were occasionally found in close juxtaposition to the fungal hyphae, after dissolution of the algal sheath, and the hypothesis is advanced that they may be implicated in lipid transfer. 'Microtubule-like' structures were observed in the algal cells and their relationship to similar structures in free living Nostoc, other blue-green algae, bacteria, algal and higher plant chloroplasts and to typical microtubules is discussed. The ultrastructure of fresh and rehydrated material was compared. There was no apparent difference in the ultrastructure of material which had been dried for 3 months and rehydrated and that of material which had been freshly fixed.

Title: Late-Wisconsinan Vegetational History at Wolf Creek, Central Minnesota
Journal: Ecological Monographs
Volume: 46
Issue: 4
Pages: 395-429
Date: Autumn
Keywords: Climatic history, ice margin, macrofossils, plant, Minnesota, Pleistocene, stratigraphy, pollen, vegetation, late Wisconsinan
Abstract: The pollen and plant-macrofossil stratigraphy of Wolf Creek, an extensive marsh within one of the oldest drumlin fields in central Minnesota, is described for the period 20,500 to 9150 yr ago. The pollen stratigraphy is presented both as percentages and as @'absolute@' influx. Both the pollen and macrofossil data have been analyzed by numerical zonation procedures to reveal the major stratigraphic patterns with the two data sets. The vegetational reconstructions presented are based on the pollen percentage and influx data, on macrofossil assemblages, on comparisons of modern and fossil pollen spectra, and on the present ecology of the individual taxa concerned. From 20,500 to 14,700 yr ago, a mosaic of tundra-like vegetation prevailed, with wide-spread @'tundra-barrens@' of Dryas integrifolia, Arenaria rubella, Silene acaulis, and Vaccinium uliginosum var. alpinum. Between 14,700 and 13,600 yr ago, shrub vegetation with dwarf birch, Empetrum, willows, alder, and Shepherdia canadensis developed as a transitional phase prior to the establishment of spruce-dominated woodland 13,600 yr ago. Between this time and 10,000 yr ago, little change occurred in the upland vegetation, except for the expansion of some deciduous elements @? 12,250 yr ago. Local changes in wetland assemblages occurred, primarily in response to changes in lake level. At @?10,000 yr ago, Pinus banksiana expanded at the expense of spruce to form a mixed coniferous-deciduous forest. Climatic interpretation of this vegetational development suggests a progressive increase in temperature since 14,700 yr ago. This unidirectional trend in climatic development contrasts with the glacial history of the state for the time period of interest, as the Lake Superior ice lobe advanced three times between 16,000 and 12,000 yr ago. The lack of correspondence between the pollen stratigraphy and the glacial history is discussed, and hypotheses are presented to explain this apparent anomaly.

Q1 01424 Age and growth
Abstract: Lab observations made on larvae of known ages have indicated that they undergo distinct changes in morphology, swimming characteristics, and reactions to substrates, while increasing in size from 50 {mu} to > 200 {mu} in length. New born larvae (up to 120 minutes old) are relatively refractory to settling, particularly during the first 45 minutes of life. This refractory period is important for dispersal since larvae do not immediately settle after birth, but go through an obligatory planktonic stage. Older larval stages (young, mid-aged, and late) react to surfaces in a characteristic exploratory maner. Further, they show unique positive responses to, and will settle on their preferred substrate (U. vulgaris vestibules). Mid-aged larvae (180-270 minuted old) show the greatest propensity for settling. In the absence of their preferred substrate senescent larvae may undergo metamorphosis while free swimming or attached to other surfaces; or they may delay longer. Most larvae which do not settle, die.

Q1 01482 Ecosystems and energetics; Q2 02141 General
Abstract: There was not a significant correlation of iron to trace metals or to phosphorus in the sedimenting material. There was a large amount of iron returning from the sediments into the open water that must not have been available for biological uptake. Even though the community appeared to secrete a low mol wt substance to chelate the iron, most of the iron not in the seston was associated with magnesium in a molecular size range of 1,000 to 10,000. The periphyton community where nitrogen fixation occurred contained 4 times the iron concn as that where nitrogen fixation was low. The phytoplankton samples that were fixing nitrogen had the highest rates of Super(55)Fe uptake.

Q1 01482 Ecosystems and energetics
Abstract: The authors attempted to study sediment phosphorus availability in conjunction with an investigation of phosphorus movement through a lake ecosystem (Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario). 3 corals were placed in the water. They were enriched with nutrients (no nutrients, H Sub(3)PO Sub(4), NaNO Sub(3)). The changes in total phosphorus were shown over 12 months. There was great similarity in all 3 corals in the fall and winter months. The release of biologically active P occurred in midsummer after several months of gradual increase in productivity and chlorophyll standing crops. In addition to the movement within the community the exchange rates between the open water, the littoral zone and the sediments were investigated. The observations suggest that the effect of reducing the nutrient input to shallow lakes may not change the total analytical P concn in the water but sine the load of sedimenting material will be reduced, the occurrence of heavy midsummer algal blooms will occur less frequently.

Q1 01423 Behaviour
Abstract: The authors tested the importance of annual inputs of plant nutrients to the trophic status of 4 lakes in northwest Iowa, Lake West Okoboji, Big Spirit Lake and Lower Gar Lake. Annual inputs of phosphorus were calculated for the period Aug-July during 3 years. On the average, 0.35kg/ha of total phosphorus annually was lost from the watersheds during the study. Approximately 0.032 gm/m Super(2) of phosphorus was contributed annually to the lake surfaces by precipation. Algal populations in the lakes are arranged in the order of increasing potential phosphorus values. The lake with the highest potential phosphorus has the greatest chlorophyll concn algal populations in individual lakes are responsive to annual inputs, when natural changes in the annual runoff lowered the phosphorus input for a given year, the lakes responded with a smaller algal bloom.

Title: The Role of Amino Acids in the Nitrogen Cycle of Lake Mendota
Journal: Limnology and Oceanography
Volume: 20
Issue: 3
Pages: 379-388
Date: May
Abstract: Concentrations of most dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) in Lake Mendota, a eutrophic Wisconsin Lake, were generally low $(<0.01 \mu M$) but detectable and appeared to be controlled by bacterial uptake. Combined amino acids occurred in concentrations an order of magnitude higher than DFAA. Of 10 amino acids examined, serine and alanine were generally most prevalent in the DFAA fraction (glycine was not measured). Concentrations of dissolved amino acids (free and combined) showed little variation with depth or season, but the levels of particulate amino acids increased in the epilimnion during the warmer months when conditions were favorable for algal growth. In the hypolimnion concentrations of amino acids in particulate material were lower than in the dissolved fraction. Daily examination of shore samples suggested that the concentrations of the DFAA generally reained of trace levels, with substantially higher concentrations during a period of rapid algal decomposition following an Aphanizomenon bloom. Shore water samples from 3 m below the lake surface contained lower and more uniform DFAA concentrations from day to day than did surface samples.

Q1 01482 Ecosystems and energetics
Abstract: Algal-lysing bacteria are present in 5 lochs, 2 reservoirs, 1 sewage works and 5 alkaline soils which were examined. 9 out of 36 isolates have been studied in detail and all are gram-negative nonfruiting myxobacteria. All are aerophilic, require a neutral or alkaline pH (optimum 7.0-9.0) for good growth, have temp optima of 28-37{degree}C, require contact with the host for lysis to occur, and are so similar in morphology and host range that they all appear to be strains of a single gen. They lyse all bloom-forming Cyanophyceae on which they have been tested, including spp of Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Gloeotrichia, Microcystis and Oscillatoria. Their abundance is usually correlated directly with the abundance of Cyanophyceae in eutrophic waters and it is probable that in most ecosystems the algae and the bacteria co-exist, although if the equilibrium changes markedly as a result of change in environmental conditions situations may arise where the bacteria may play an important role in the lysis of algal blooms, that this is likely to be a rare occurrence in natural ecosystems.

Title: Nitrogen Fixation (Acetylene Reduction) by Phytoplankton in Green Bay, Lake Michigan, in Relation to Nutrient Concentrations
Journal: Limnology and Oceanography
Volume: 19
Issue: 1
Pages: 119-125
Date: Jan.
Abstract: Nitrogen fixation (acetylene reduction) and the growth of blue-green algae were studied in Green Bay (Lake Michigan) during summer 1972. Where concentrations of all nutrients were high Microcystis predominated. As combined nitrogen concentrations decreased Aphanizomenon increased. Aphanizomenon showed increasing $C_2H_2-reducing$ efficiency as the $NH_4^+ + NO_3^-$ concentration declined, but its standing crop decreased with declining P concentration. At 40 km from the Fox River diatoms were predominant. Increased algal growth and nitrogen fixation in 1972, as compared to 1971, correlated with higher phosphate concentrations. Almost half as much nitrogen was added to the bay by fixation as was delivered by the Fox River during the same period.

Abstract: Many planktonic blue-green algae produce natural chelators which enable them to grow at high pH in the absence of artificial chelators. The growth of 10 cyanophytes without an added chelator was found to differ widely with the algal species. Bacteria-contg. cultures of Anabaena cylindrica, Anacystis nidulans, Lyngbya species, Microcystis aeruginosa, Nostoc muscorum, and Phormidium foveolarum produced their own chelators and grew just as well as the controls with artificial chelating agents. Bacteria-contg. cultures of Anabaena circinalis, Gloeotrichia echinulata, Oscillatoria rubescens, and Aphanizomenon flor-aquae did not produce chelators and, in the absence of artificial agents, grew poorly or perished early. The alga-produced, extracellular chelators were water-sol. and capable of chelating and controlling metal compds. that would exist in colloidal form at pH >7. Accordingly, in the absence of artificial chelators, the nonchelator-forming species grew in the filtrates of the chelator-forming algae the same as in the presence of artificial agents. Bacteria were not involved in the formation of natural chelators, since axenic cultures of Anabaena circinalis, Anacystis nidulans, M. aeruginosa, N. muscorum, and P. foveolarum in the absence of artificial chelators performed about the same as the bacteria-assocd. species. Also, the filtrates of axenic, chelator-forming Anacystis cultures had the same growth-stimulating effect on the nonchelator-forming species as filtrates from bacteria-assocd. cultures. The natural chelators showed partial thermolability. While the growth of chelator-forming species in the absence of artificial chelators was normal during the logarithmic phase, a peculiar, continuing prodn. of total org. matter was obsd. with strongly declining cell nos. of Lyngbya, Microcystis, and Phormidium. The terminal cultures of these species were gelatinous, owing to the presence of extracellular matter, probably consisting of polysaccharides. [on SciFinder (R)]
