Therefore, the biochemical composition of <i>Onchidium typhae</i> Buchannan, 1800 mucus was investigated. The effects of mucus on the microphytobenthos growth rate, representing the ecological functions of the mucus, were also tested. The results showed that the mucus was mainly composed of water (82.5%), and a large proportion of the organic content in mucus consisted of proteins (40%), followed by carbohydrates (13.33%) and lipids (0.19%). The effects of mucus on microphytobenthos growth were conditional and genus-specific. Growth of <i>Navicular</i> sp. and <i>Nitzschia</i> sp. significantly responded to different concentrations and incubation times of the slug mucus. Fresh and concentrated mucus inhibited the growth of both species; low mucus concentration and longer incubation time showed a significant increase in the growth rates of both species. However, no effect of mucus on the <i>Thalassiosira</i> sp. growth rate was observed. These effects of mucus on diatom growth are discussed.

Here we determined the nutritional mode of abundant seagrass sponge species in the Wakatobi National Park, Indonesia from the near-reef flat zone to the high shore to assess the role they might play in nutrient fluxes. We measured in situ gross primary production (GPP) to respiration (P:R) ratios, photosynthetic pigment concentrations, and light compensation and saturation points of eight sponge species representing almost 100% of the total sponge assemblage biomass. We found that all sponge species contained photosynthetic pigments and had positive gross primary production, indicating the presence of photosynthetic symbionts. However, based on their daily oxygen budget not all sponge holobionts were autotrophic (P:R>1); six species were autotrophic, with five of them being net oxygen producers. Based on biomass, autotrophic sponges only dominated (98% of biomass) the sponge assemblage in the near-reef-flat zone. We suggest that the higher light intensity in the high- and middle-shore zones of the meadow triggers photoinhibition, limiting autotrophic sponge distribution further up the shore. We propose that the considerable biomass of autotrophic sponges in the lower parts of the seagrass meadow challenges our current view that sponges are generally consumers of large amounts of carbon from the water column, as photosynthetic symbionts have the potential to meet at least some of their sponge hosts carbon requirements or may release dissolved organic carbon to the environment.","PeriodicalId":49883,"journal":{"name":"Marine Ecology-An Evolutionary Perspective","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41658568","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}

To address this hypothesis, the toxigenic power of cyanobacterial spent medium and of disintegrated cells (to simulate lysis) was assayed using standard toxicity-tests on nauplii of the brine shrimp <i>Artemia salina</i>. Toxigenic effects were triggered by the spent culture medium, but the homogenates (disintegrated cyanobacteria cells) did not show any acute toxicity. In addition, chronic toxicity tests of the spent medium demonstrated a reduced but still present toxigenic effect, with an inverse correlation between toxicity and medium dilution.
