Abstract
Diurnal oscillations are 24 h clock, that synchronize organisms biological functions based on the daily environmental fluctuation. Continuous increase in ultraviolet radiation have been shown to affect the biological clock of cyanobacteria. The present investigation deals with the 12/12 h of light/dark effects of PAR and PAB (PAR + UVA + UVB) irradiations on ecophysiology and defense management of a hot-spring cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. strain VKB02. The alternative L/D exposure of PAR showed increase in growth and pigment compositions. However, PAB radiation has significantly decreased within the same parameters after the L1 phase except for carotenoid and APC, while PE and PC recovered till the D2 phase corresponding to the counter light phase. The pigments destruction also resulted in Chl a fluorescence (Fv/Fm, Fv׳/Fm׳, Y(II), rETR) emission decline. In addition, PAB exposure accelerated free radicals generation with induced protein oxidation (RCG) and antioxidative enzymes (SOD, POD, CAT) as counteract defense during the light phase. The overall circadian regime facilitated the resynthesis fate of pigment-protein complexes and the mitigation of the high level of ROS production. This result suggests the unique survival strategy of the hot-spring cyanobacterium against ultraviolet radiation in a diurnal manner. This study also offers a deep understanding of the diurnal eco-physiological and biochemical responses of the cyanobacterium for the advancement in sustainable agricultural production with lower input in variable climate.
期刊介绍:
Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to
microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any
experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly
biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into
microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts.
Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published.
Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are
acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses
emerge.
