Aquatic Respiration Rate Measurements at Low Oxygen Concentrations
Despite its huge ecological importance, microbial oxygen respiration in pelagic waters is little studied, primarily due to methodological difficulties. Respiration measurements are challenging because of the required high resolution of oxygen concentration measurements. Recent improvements in oxygen sensing techniques bear great potential to overcome these limitations. Here we compare 3 differe...
متن کاملAquatic nitrogen transformations at low oxygen concentrations.
Nitrite and nitrous oxide made up 40% of the hypolimnetic dissolved inorganic nitrogen in mesotrophic Lake Rotoiti, New Zealand, prior to hypolimnetic anoxia. Up to 120 mg of N m-3 as nitrite and 20 mg of N m-3 as nitrous oxide accumulated, whereas dissolved-oxygen concentrations remained between 1.0 and 0.2 g m-3 and were totally consumed when the hypolimnion became completely anoxic. Assays o...
متن کاملSteady-state measurements of respiration rate with an oxygen electrode.
The respirometer is shown in Fig. 1. The cathode was made from gold wire of 0.51 mm diam which was coated with glass of low melting point (4). After mounting the cathode as shown in Fig. 1, the gold and its glass coating were ground to a flat surface and polished using a series of carborundum grinding powders. The cathode was maintained at -0.45 V with respect to the calomel electrode. The elec...
متن کاملMitochondrial respiration at low levels of oxygen and cytochrome c.
In the intracellular microenvironment of active muscle tissue, high rates of respiration are maintained at near-limiting oxygen concentrations. The respiration of isolated heart mitochondria is a hyperbolic function of oxygen concentration and half-maximal rates were obtained at 0.4 and 0.7 microM O(2) with substrates for the respiratory chain (succinate) and cytochrome c oxidase [N,N,N,N',N'-t...
متن کاملHigh performance optical sensing nanocomposites for low and ultra-low oxygen concentrations using phase-shift measurements.
The accurate and real-time measurement of low and ultra-low concentrations of oxygen using non-invasive methods is a necessity for a multitude of applications, from brewing beer to developing encapsulating barriers for optoelectronic devices. Current optical methods and sensing materials often lack the necessary sensitivity, signal intensity, or stability for practical applications. In this rep...
