Assessing the error in photosynthetic properties determined by fast repetition rate fluorometry
Fast repetition rate (FRR) fluorometry is an optical technique for estimating photosynthetic properties of phytoplankton from measurements of variable fluorescence yield. I determined the minimum error in such estimates contributed by inherent instrument biases, improper measurement protocols, and the type of optimization algorithm used to infer photosynthetic variability from changes in variab...
متن کاملMaximum photosynthetic efficiency of size-fractionated phytoplankton assessed by 14C uptake and fast repetition rate fluorometry
Under high nutrient concentrations and sufficient light conditions, large phytoplankton may display higher photosynthetic efficiency than smaller cells. This is unexpected since smaller phytoplankton, because of their higher surface to volume ratio, possess a greater ability to take up nutrients and absorb light. In order to investigate the causes of the increased photosynthetic efficiency in l...
متن کاملEutrophication-induced phosphorus limitation in the Mississippi River plume: Evidence from fast repetition rate fluorometry
We assessed nutrient limitation in the Mississippi River plume and Louisiana continental shelf during the summer of 2002 (04–08 July). We measured nutrient concentrations, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activities, chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations, and four fast repetition rate fluorescence (FRRF) parameters: the maximum quantum yield of photochemistry in photosystem II (PSII), Fv : Fm; the func...
متن کاملCompetitive kinetics versus stopped flow method for determining the degradation rate constants of steroids by ozonation
Steroids are classified as endocrine disrupting chemicals; they are persistent with low biodegradability and are hardly degraded by conventional methods. Ozonation process has been effective for steroids degradation and the determination of the kinetics is a fundamental aspect for the design and operation of the reactor. This study assessed two methods: competitive kinetics and stopped flow, fo...
متن کاملDeveloping an in vitro Method for Determining Feed Soluble Protein Degradation Rate by Mixed Ruminal Microorganisms
The objective of this work was to describe a novel in vitro system based on the subtraction of ammonia pools obtained with and without rumen fluid inoculum to determine the soluble protein fraction of feeds and their degradability, with adjustments for microbial contributions and bacterial contamination. Four corn-milling coproducts were used in this study as random factors. The feeds (Fd) were...
