Effects of ambient silicic acid concentration on the physiology of marine cyanobacterial Synechococcus
The marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus can accumulate significant amounts of silicon (Si) within its cells, potentially contributing to the vertical transport of biogenic Si in the ocean. This has prompted interest in understanding the uptake, subcellular distribution, and chemical forms of Si in Synechococcus. The surprisingly high intracellular Si concentration could have important impacts on Synechococcus physiology, but these effects have been relatively unexplored. In this study, we investigated the effects of external Si concentrations, [Si(OH)4], on the cell physiology of two strains of Synechococcus (CC9311 and WH7803). Increased ambient [Si(OH)4] significantly enhanced total cellular and water-soluble Si content in Synechococcus, but had little effect on their growth. However, the cell size, volume and photosynthetic performance were significantly reduced in strain WH7803, indicating some harmful effects in the cell. Increases in ambient [Si(OH)4] also altered the Derjaguin-Muller-Toporov (DMT) modulus, adhesion, surface potential and elemental composition of the Synechococcus cells. Notably, significant changes in area-specific adsorbed metals and volume-specific metal content were observed at higher [Si(OH)4] levels, suggesting Si availability in seawater could markedly impact the interactions between Synechococcus cell and environment. Overall, this study provides new insights into the physiological adaptations of marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus to varying environmental silicic acid concentrations.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
