Abstract: 1. The influence of light, temperature, sediment mixing and sediment origin (water depth) on the recruitment of the cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia echinulata was examined in the laboratory. 2. Light and temperature were the most important factors initiating germination in G. echinulata. 3. The extent of germination (recruited biovolume) was mainly regulated by temperature and sediment mixing. Furthermore, sediment mixing significantly enhanced the frequency of observed heterocysts and colonies. 4. Despite the fact that the deep and shallow sediments contained a similar number of akinete colonies, the highest recruitment occurred from shallow sediments, indicating that akinetes from shallow sediments have a higher viability than those from deeper parts of the lake. 5. Our results support the hypothesis that shallow sediments are more important than profundal sediments for the recruitment of G. echinulata to the pelagic zone.

Abstract: Different parameters in the life cycle of the colony forming cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia echinulata (J.E. Smith) Richter was evaluated in Lake Erken, Sweden. Recruitment of colonies from the sediments and pelagic abundance were measured during 2 years. These data were then used in a model to evaluate and estimate parameters of the life cycle. In our study, recruitment alone only contributed to a small part (<5%) of the maximum G. echinulata abundance that occurred during late summer. However, recruitment from shallow sediments forms the important seed for the pelagic population. Together with measured rates of migration from the sediment, variations in either pelagic colony division rate or pelagic residence time could explain variations in the measured abundance of G. echinulata in situ.

Abstract: Gloeotrichia echinulata is an akinete forming cyanobacterium with both a pelagic and a benthic phase. After germination of the akinete there is a short phase of growth on the sediment before the filaments develop gas vacuoles and migrate up into the water. It has been indicated that during the time of growth on the sediment surface the germlings take up nutrients. Those nutrients would be used during the pelagic phase as the pelagic colonies do not have a very efficient nutrient uptake. To test the length of the initial growth period 'akinete colonies' were picked out of sediment samples from Lake Erken, Sweden, and placed on a thin layer of sediment in wellplates (Nunclon multidish, 48 wells) in an incubator with 17degreesC and a light:dark cycle of 16:8 h. The plates were then studied under a stereo microscope and pictures were taken one or two times per day for 20 days. Germination occurred in one third of the wells and the growth was recorded. The germlings formed bundles on the surface of the old akinete colony during the experiment. Several bundles were found on the same akinete colony. In the migration traps colonies and filament bundles were found. The morphology of filament bundles found in the migration traps was similar to the filament bundles found in the germination experiment which had reached a stage of development where they would soon be considered colonies.

Abstract: This study considered whether the availability of Fe and B has an important effect on development of the cyanobacterium, Gloeotrichia echinulata, in Lake Erken, Sweden. In in-situ expts., PO43- and NO3- were added to all enclosures, but pelagic colonies of G. echinulata only increased in abundance in enclosures to which Fe was also added. An even greater increase in abundance of G. echinulata occurred in enclosures in which PO43-, NO3-, and Fe addns. were complemented by adding B. B addns., together with PO43- and NO3- but without Fe, did not stimulate G. echinulata growth. [on SciFinder (R)]

Abstract: Expts. to measure phosphorus uptake by the cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia echinulata (J. E. Smith) Richter from lake sediments and from epilimnetic water show that phosphorus accumulated from the sediments by benthic colonies plays an important role in the development of planktonic populations, whereas uptake from epilimnetic water by vegetative colonies is insignificant. During the spring and summer of 1996, the cellular phosphorus quota of both benthic and epilimnetic Gloeotrichia colonies was monitored in the oligotrophic Peninsula Lake, central Ontario, Canada, in order to detect signs of luxury uptake and subsequent utilization during growth. Assays were also used to measure the rate of phosphorus uptake from the sediment and from lake water. G. echinulata, which overwinters in the form of the benthic akinete packets, is capable of obtaining phosphorus directly from the sediments following germination in early summer, and subsequent growth in the epilimnion is based almost entirely on accumulated reserves.

Q1 01204 Reproduction and development
Abstract: The potential germination of akinetes of Gloeotrichia echinulata was studied in in vitro germination experiments with akinete colonies from sediment samples collected during the spring and summer of 1998 at three different depths: 0.5, 1.5, and 4 metres. Germination in vitro occurred between April and August, with the highest germination frequency in colonies collected from the sediment of the shallowest station. The germination period in the lake occurred between the middle of June and the end of July.

Abstract: Nutrient levels (P and N) were measured in a small reservoir in Scotland between Mar. 1994 and Oct. 1995. Algae species were identified. Dense blooms of Gloeotrichia echinulata have regularly occurred in late summer in the reservoir for many years, but it did not reach bloom proportions during the 1995 summer and seemed to have been replaced by Aphanizomenon. The bloom of the cyanobacterium Gloeotrichia echinulata that occurred in August 1994 was studied in relation to P levels present at the time in the water. Results show that the bloom developed after a slight increase in dissolved inorg. P; while the bloom was developing, particulate inorg. forms of P increased and were then replaced by particulate org. forms when the bloom reached its max. d. All P fractions started to decrease shortly before the bloom collapsed. There did not seem to be any change in the distribution of P between its different fractions, at least during the 1st 24 h after collection when the sample was kept in a refrigerator in the dark. We therefore conclude that Gloeotrichia echinulata was probably responsible for transferring P from the sediments up to the water column in Antermony. [on SciFinder (R)]

Q1 01421 Migrations and rhythms
Abstract: The quantity and distribution of colonies of Gloeotrichia echinulata migrating from the sediments into the water column were studied in Lake Erken by the use of inverted traps. The epilimnetic population and the phosphorus status of the epilimnetic colonies were quantified. The numbers of colonies in the traps were greatest in the shallower areas. As the stratification became weaker and the epilimnetic population declined, the amount of colonies in all the traps increased markedly. Most of the colonies in the traps were due to redistribution within the water column. On the assumption that no epilimnetic uptake of phosphorus occurred in G. echinulata, the internal loading of P due to migrating colonies would be about 0.5 mg per sq m per day during July and August. The proportion of newly migrated colonies in the epilimnetic population was calculated to be about 50 percent for the period before the population maximum. The increasing P content of the colonies after the population maximum indicates that the migration continued even after this.

Abstract: The changes of nitrogen fixation (ARA) were studied in relation to the metamorphosis of Gloeotrichia pisum D613 in batch culture. During metamorphosis, the alga passes through stages, like hormogonia, juvenile filaments, developing filaments and mature filaments. The relative occurrence of these stages varies with the age of cultures. Maximum ARA was observed ed after one day of growth under continuous light flux of 105 mu E m(-1) s(-1) and at a temperature of 32 degrees C. During this period juvenile filaments were abundant having a maximum heterocyst frequency and cultures had the lowest chi a: dry wt. ratio. Cells of juvenile filaments had no cyanophycin granules. It appeared that the juvenile filaments suffered nitrogen starvation, thus actively fixed nitrogen. Significance of this result in relation to rice cultivation and algalization has been discussed.
