Elevated pCO2 enhances bacterioplankton removal of organic carbon
Factors that affect the removal of organic carbon by heterotrophic bacterioplankton can impact the rate and magnitude of organic carbon loss in the ocean through the conversion of a portion of consumed organic carbon to CO2. Through enhanced rates of consumption, surface bacterioplankton communities can also reduce the amount of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) available for export from the surfa...
متن کاملResponse of bacterioplankton activity in an Arctic fjord system to elevated pCO2: results from a mesocosm perturbation study
The effect of elevated seawater carbon dioxide (CO2) on the activity of a natural bacterioplankton community in an Arctic fjord system was investigated by a mesocosm perturbation study in the frame of the European Project on Ocean Acidification (EPOCA). A pCO2 range of 175– 1085 μatm was set up in nine mesocosms deployed in the Kongsfjorden (Svalbard). The activity of natural extracellular enzy...
متن کاملRemoval of assimilable organic carbon and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon by reverse osmosis and nanofiltration membranes
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF), under various solution chemistries, on bacterial regrowth potential as quantified by assimilable organic carbon (AOC) and biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC). The bench-scale experiments, using tap groundwater spiked with acetate as organic carbon, revealed that AOC remo...
متن کاملDoes elevated pCO2 affect reef octocorals?
Increasing anthropogenic pCO2 alters seawater chemistry, with potentially severe consequences for coral reef growth and health. Octocorals are the second most important faunistic component in many reefs, often occupying 50% or more of the available substrate. Three species of octocorals from two families were studied in Eilat (Gulf of Aqaba), comprising the zooxanthellate Ovabunda macrospiculat...
متن کاملNitrogenase expression in estuarine bacterioplankton influenced by organic carbon and availability of oxygen.
The genetic capacity to fix gaseous nitrogen (N) is distributed among diverse diazotrophs belonging to the Bacteria and Archaea. However, only a subset of the putative diazotrophs present actively fix N at any given time in the environment. We experimentally tested whether the availability of carbon and inhibition by oxygen constrain N fixation by diazotrophs in coastal seawater. The goal was t...
