The effective quantum yields (ΔF/Fm'; = ΦPSII) of photosystem II (PSII) dropped to zero after 360‐min aerial exposure under low irradiance (20 μmol photons m−2 s−1) and 120‐min exposure under high irradiance (700 μmol photons m−2 s−1) for this species at 20°C and 50% relative humidity. Under these conditions, ΔF/Fm' failed to recover to initial levels even after 1‐day rehydration in seawater. In general, ΔF/Fm' decreased as desiccation reduced the absolute water content (AWC, %). Nevertheless, when AWC was above ca. 20%, ΔF/Fm' was mostly restored to initial levels after 1‐day rehydration in seawater, suggesting strong tolerance to dehydration. Furthermore, S. fusiforme appeared to tolerate a broad range of salinity (i.e. 15–50 psu) during six days of culture; however, ΔF/Fm' declined when salinity was <10 and 60 psu. Strong tolerance to dehydration and salinity stress likely provides S. fusiforme an advantage that allows it to flourish in the intertidal habitat.","PeriodicalId":20544,"journal":{"name":"Phycological Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44269181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Selective utilization of phosphorus compounds by Chaetoceros tenuissimus (Bacillariophyceae): Approach using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance analysis","authors":"H. Yamaguchi, Masaki Zaima, Masao Adachi, Y. Tomaru, H. Asahara, N.

The present study identified which phosphorus compounds are preferentially utilized by planktonic diatom Chaetoceros tenuissimus cultures using a 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)‐based method. Our 31P NMR analysis, which involves a sample extraction procedure using DIAION™ CR11, detected and quantified phosphorus compounds present at concentrations of at least 7.5 μM in the seawater‐based media, including orthophosphate, phosphate monoester, phosphate diester, phosphonate, and other compounds. Based on this analysis, we examined the temporal variations of phosphorus compounds in C. tenuissimus cultures in which orthophosphate, phosphate monoester, phosphate diester, and phosphonate compounds were present simultaneously. Cells pre‐grown under phosphorus‐replete conditions utilized orthophosphate as the preferential phosphorus source and switched to phosphate monoester after exhausting orthophosphate. Enzymatic activity for phosphate monoester hydrolysis, namely phosphomonoesterase (synonym to alkaline phosphatase) activity, appeared when C. tenuissimus began to utilize phosphate monoester. In contrast, C. tenuissimus pre‐grown on phosphorus‐depleted media simultaneously hydrolyzed phosphate monoester and phosphate diester compounds, released orthophosphate from these compounds, and utilized the released orthophosphate and original orthophosphate without discrimination. Overall, we demonstrated that 31P NMR‐based method can comprehensively analyze the variations of dissolved phosphorus compounds in diatom cultures. Our results showed selective utilization of phosphorus compounds by C. tenuissimus and suggested that phosphate monoester and phosphate diester compounds were important phosphorus sources for this diatom in orthophosphate‐depleted coastal waters.","PeriodicalId":20544,"journal":{"name":"Phycological Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47771206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Graeff","doi":"10.1111/pre.12488","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/pre.12488","url":null,"abstract":"Gertia stigmatica is an atypical member of the Kareniaceae that has a peridinin‐containing plastid rather than a tertiary, (acyloxy)fucoxanthin‐containing, haptophyte‐derived plastid, as is found in the canonical genera Karenia, Karlodinium, and Takayama. While the origin of G. stigmatica's plastid is uncertain per its original published description, with alternative hypotheses stating that it could have originated before or after the acquisition of a haptophyte‐derived plastid, the description of the species indicates that it does possess ultrastructural and genetic features that firmly place it within the Kareniaceae. As a photosynthetic, plastid‐containing organism, G. stigmatica, like other algae, possesses two galactolipids, mono‐ and digalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG and DGDG, respectively), that form the basis of its plastid‐associated photosynthetic membranes. MGDG and DGDG have been extensively characterized in peridinin‐containing dinoflagellates, where it has been observed that these dinoflagellates can be segregated into two clusters. One cluster is characterized by MGDG and DGDG possessing the polyunsaturated C18/C18 fatty acids (sn‐1/sn‐2 regiochemistry) octadecapentaenoic acid (18:5(n‐3)) and octadecatetraenoic acid (18:4(n‐3)), while the second cluster possesses eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5(n‐3)) in the sn‐1 position while retaining a polyunsaturated C18 fatty acid in the sn‐2 position. By contrast, Karenia brevis and Karenia mikimotoi have been observed to be enriched in species of MGDG and DGDG, such as 18:5(n‐3)/14:0 MGDG and DGDG, uncommon to peridinin‐containing dinoflagellates. Our objective was to characterize the galactolipids of G. stigmatica to compare it to both peridinin‐containing dinoflagellates and other members of the Kareniaceae to search for insight, such as (a) remnant 14:0 fatty acid‐containing galactolipid(s), into the evolution of its plastid. Our results show that G. stigmatica possesses 20:5(n‐3)/18:5(n‐3) MGDG and DGDG as the primary galactolipids, with little evidence of those galactolipid species enriched in K. brevis and K. mikimotoi. The implications of this for the evolution of the G. stigmatica plastid are discussed.","PeriodicalId":20544,"journal":{"name":"Phycological Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47595751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tetrasporophytes of Hypnea pseudomusciformis were collected from three floristic provinces (tropical, transition and warm temperate) along the Brazilian coast (~3.000 km), representing three ecotypes. Specimens were cultured under 20°C, 24°C, 28°C and 32°C for 21 days, then physiological parameters (growth rates, photosynthesis and pigments content) were analyzed. H. pseudomusciformis specimens tolerated a temperature variation from 20°C to 32°C. However, all ecotypes displayed a significant decrease in physiological performance at 32°C in all parameters analyzed. We hypothesized that the H. pseudomusciformis ecotype from the tropical province is already living at its thermal physiological limit, reaching its maximum growth only in the winter months (June to September), whereas a warm temperate ecotype reaches maximum growth in the summer months (December to March). This wide thermal optimum may be the reason for the widespread distribution of this species along the Brazilian coast, allowing it to occupy different thermal environments.","PeriodicalId":20544,"journal":{"name":"Phycological Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48647701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prorocentrum panamense cells were collected during April 2017 from natural pools located in the Northeastern part of Gran Canaria. This new record represents an expansion of P. panamense distribution area, previously restricted to the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arabian Gulf and the Caribbean, and its introduction mechanisms are discussed. Laboratory cultures of P. panamense were settled and toxin production was assessed in both cell pellets and culture media at four different growth phases (latency, exponential, early stationary and late stationary) implementing LC‐MS/MS and neuro‐2a cell‐based assay (CBA). LC‐MS/MS allowed the identification of OA in the fraction corresponding to the late stationary phase, and tests performed on neuro‐2a cells showed, for most of the fractions, OA‐like activity observable by both cell morphology changes and cell mortality. This information is fundamental for a better understanding of the genus Prorocentrum global distribution, its ecology, and risks associated to toxic producing species.","PeriodicalId":20544,"journal":{"name":"Phycological Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44172645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined two methods of measuring the nutrient uptake rate of two macroalgae, Saccharina japonica var. religiosa and Ulva australis, by comparing nutrient uptake kinetics between the chemostat culture and batch culture. In the chemostat culture, the nutrient concentration was kept constant by monitoring the change in nutrient concentration using an Auto Analyzer in real time and adding nutrients to compensate for the macroalgae's nutrient consumption. The nutrient uptake in the chemostat culture could be best fitted to the Michaelis–Menten saturation kinetics. In the batch culture, the nutrient concentration decreased with time, either constantly or exponentially due to a rapid uptake of nutrients by the macroalgae. The nutrient uptake rate in the batch culture generally showed a scattered relationship with nutrient concentration, with a weak fitting to the Michaelis–Menten saturation kinetics. This discrepancy seemed to be partly because the change in nutrient concentration was large between the sampling intervals in the batch culture. Determining an appropriate sampling interval for detectable concentration change is difficult unless the nutrient concentration is measured in real time. Therefore, the application of the chemostat culture method to the measurement of the uptake rate by macroalgae could greatly improve our understanding of nutrient uptake kinetics.","PeriodicalId":20544,"journal":{"name":"Phycological Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48712132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
