In this regard, a monthly in situ monitoring of the standing stock biomass of Laminaria ochroleuca (Bachelot de la Pylaie, 1824) was conducted during a two-year cycle at Sidi Bouzid located on the Moroccan Atlantic coast in the south of the city of El Jadida. Development of morphological parameters as proxy for growth i.e. blade length (L; cm), stipe length (S; cm) and dry biomass (kg.m-2) were monitored and measured. The shortest blade length was recorded in January 2004 and 2005 respectively (51.1 and 60 cm), the maximum was recorded in June 2004 and 2005 respectively (103.2 and 121.6 cm). Minimum biomasses are recorded in January of the two cycles of growth, it is about 0.60 kg.m-2 in 2004 and 0.98 kg.m-2 in 2005, the highest biomasses are recorded in May–June 2004 (1.9 kg.m-2) and in August for the year 2005 \u2028(3.9 kg.m-2). Individuals found in June 2005 have shorter stipe (8.21 cm) while maximum stipe length was recorded on October 2005 (22.8 cm). Mean yearly densities of L. ochroleuca were 34 and 32 plants/m² in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Therefore, the exploitation of this species should be carried out from June with harvest period reduced to a maximum of 2 months to allow the algae to grow in autumn.","PeriodicalId":90782,"journal":{"name":"Algological studies (Stuttgart, Germany : 2007)","volume":"153 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44087189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oxyr-rhis which was grown to stationary phase and then added to cultures of Pyramimonas captured and digested more than 95% of the prasinophyte within ten days. The decline of non-digested Pyramimonas cells monitored by regular cell counting using light microscopy, was also measured by fluorescence emission spectroscopy and registered by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the ejectisomes of Pyramimonas which were discharged within the food vacuole did not harm Oxyrrhis. Mainly the body scales and the ejectisomes were not digested but excreted. Both, starved and fed Oxyrrhis cells contained birefringent bodies.

Box 60, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN 37132 USA With 1 figure and 1 table Abstract: The genus Acetabularia represents a group of historically important, macroscopic, single-celled green algae initially used by Joachim Hammerling to demonstrate localization of genetic material within the nucleus of a cell (by grafting one species onto another and allowing it to regenerate its original form). Acetabularia, and the related genus Acicularia, are considered to be “living fossils” within the family Polyphysaceae because of their long and uninterrupted fossil record, and, as such, are important taxa in the evolutionary progression of green algae (and plants). To date, there is just a single published study on the sterols of Acetabularia mediterranea. Sterols, tetracyclic lipids which act to reinforce eukaryotic plasma membranes, are often used as chemotaxonomic indicators to assess relationships between eukaryotes. Examination of sterols within Acetabularia and Acicularia may help further identify an ancestral set of sterols that has since radiated throughout many green algae. Two C28 and three C29 sterols commonly found in green algae, all with Δ5 unsaturations and with the dominant one being 24-ethylcholest-5-en-3β-ol, were observed in four species of Acetabularia and one of Acicularia. The chemotaxonomic and evolutionary aspects of this finding are discussed herein.","PeriodicalId":90782,"journal":{"name":"Algological studies (Stuttgart, Germany : 2007)","volume":"153 1","pages":"59-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42465792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In summer (January–February), ground-level solar radiation regimes at the Antarctic Carlini Station (62°14'S, 58°40'W) on King George Island (South Shetland Islands) can be highly variable, depending on the presence of clouds. Spectrally-resolved underwater radiation regimes were measured at three study sites in the inner and outer Potter Cove nearby Carlini Station. The clear waters at Penon de Pesca allowed PAR, UV-A and UV-B radiation to penetrate deeply into the water column, expressed by z1% (i. e. 1%-depths) at 23–25 m, 20–22 m and 13–16 m, respectively, as well as by low attenuation coefficients of downward radiation (Kd). In contrast, turbid waters in the inner Potter Cove and at Penon Uno reduced the penetration of these three wavebands significantly. The photo-physiological mechanisms allowing macroalgae to acclimate to the incident gradients of PAR and UV radiation at Penon de Pesca were further elaborated by assessing photo-physiological data on the brown macroalga Desmarestia menziesii (Phaeophyceae), exposed to a PAR range between 15 and 130 μ mol photons m-2 s-1, either in the presence or absence of UV radiation (10.3 W m -2 UV-A and 0.73 W m -2 UV-B). PAM-fluorometry-based measurements revealed a similar decrease of the optimum quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII) under both PAR and UV radiation and a stronger effect of PAR over UV radiation in the regulation of maximum photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETRmax) as well as the photosynthetic light saturation (Ek). The down-regulation of the photochemistry of PSII by PAR as well as the reduction in the photosynthetic electron transport capacity (i.e.ETRmax) indicate important photoprotective mechanisms allowing D. menziesii to response effectively to a combination of PAR and UV stress in their upper subtidal habitat.","PeriodicalId":90782,"journal":{"name":"Algological studies (Stuttgart, Germany : 2007)","volume":"151 1","pages":"123-150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1127/ALGOL_STUD/2016/0259","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64050353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to test whether this isolate still kept physiological traits for Antarctic conditions or exhibited acclimation/adaptation to culturing, it was ecophysiologically compared with three recently isolated Coccomyxa strains from soil samples collected at the Antarctic Peninsula. Additionally, the investigated strains were tested for potential endemism. Molecular analysis based on ITS rDNA identified the three newly isolated strains also as C. subellipsoidea. The effective quantum yield of photosynthesis was examined during controlled short-term desiccation (at relative air humidity c. 10%) and after rehydration. Growth rates were determined over a temperature gradient from 4.6 to 34.8 °C. The results indicate cold tolerance and drought tolerance among all tested strains which are slightly more developed in the continental strain NIES 2166 although 50 years passed since isolation.

In Antarctica the parallel variation in the severity of the thermal and hydric environment makes simple transect and gradient based modelling complicated. Here we interpret samples collected over several seasons in terms of rock type (sandstone, marble and granite) and location (distance from sea, altitude) on the colonization, species composition, chlorophyll content, biomass as well as stable carbon isotopic composition and 14 C age of the endolithic communities. Distance from coast was highly correlated with altitude of the sampling locations and this complicated disentangling of climatic drivers. Nevertheless, stable carbon isotopic composition allowed insight into hydration regime and 14C radiocarbon age into productivity.
