摘要: |
在纯培养的铜绿微囊藻种群中添加有效牧食者棕鞭毛虫,进行为期9d的实验,用流式细胞仪检测棕鞭毛虫牧食作用对铜绿微囊藻的影响.结果表明棕鞭毛虫的牧食导致微囊藻种群迅速下降,同时微囊藻种群出现了群体形成现象.棕鞭毛虫直接牧食作用诱发微囊藻形成群体后,能在一定程度上能防御棕鞭毛虫的进一步牧食,使得种群得以延续.在棕鞭毛虫的牧食作用下,以酯酶活性和叶绿素荧光强度为代表的微囊藻细胞活性在实验后期显著增强.而牧食处理后细胞尺寸有所变小,这可能是伴随着微囊藻诱发性群体形成过程中一种生态对策的调整,保持较小的个体有利于种群的迅速增殖. |

Abstract: |
In laboratory culture Microcystis aeruginosa occurs mainly as single cells but under natural conditions, it is normally in the colonial morph. This phenomenon suggests that some factors may be responsible for the occurrence of colonies in lakes. In the present experiment we investigated the grazing effect of flagellate Ochromonas sp. on physiological changes in M. aeruginosa using flow cytometry. The experiment was run in triplicate for 9 days at 25℃ in photoperiod of 12L:12D. Results showed that M. aeruginosa population exposed to flagellate grazing decreased sharply and some single cells formed colonies, most of which were made up of several or dozens of cells. Colony formation can deter flagellate from further grazing on a certain extent. Esterase activity and chlorophyll fluorescence of M. aeruginosa cells under flagellate grazing were significantly higher than those of unicells in the control, whereas the cell size of M. aeruginosa became smaller under intense flagellate grazing. The enhanced esterase activity may contribute to colony formation. The fact that cell size of M. aeruginosa under flagellate grazing became smaller may indicate that M. aeruginosa adopt a kind of ecological strategy to grow rapidly under intensive grazing. |
