Nitrogen Fixed By Cyanobacteria Is Utilized By Deposit-Feeders
Benthic communities below the photic zone depend for food on allochthonous organic matter derived from seasonal phytoplankton blooms. In the Baltic Sea, the spring diatom bloom is considered the most important input of organic matter, whereas the contribution of the summer bloom dominated by diazotrophic cyanobacteria is less understood. The possible increase in cyanobacteria blooms as a conseq...
متن کاملNitrogen compounds utilized by Alcaligenes faecalis.
Conn (1942) observed that Alcaligenes faecalis required organic nitrogen, but as observed by Porter (1946) no report was found of a study of nitrogen compounds suitable for continued growth of A. faecalis. It was reported, however, that this organism grew in a medium containing NH4 lactate as a source of nitrogen and carbon (Braun and Cahn-Bronner, 1921), and used NH4NO3, asparagine, cysteine, ...
متن کاملMonitoring Defecation Activity of Infaunal Deposit Feeders
An inexpensive, reliable thermistor device capable of monitoring infaunal foraging activity was built and used in the laboratory to examine effects of temperature on sedlment reworking by the maldanld polychaete Clymenella torquata. The worm defecated at least once per hour 55.0 % (12.0 "C) to 88.2 % (5.5 "C) of the time. Defecation rate was linearly and positively related to temperature. Estim...
متن کاملNitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria stimulates production in Baltic food webs
Filamentous, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria form extensive summer blooms in the Baltic Sea. Their ability to fix dissolved N2 allows cyanobacteria to circumvent the general summer nitrogen limitation, while also generating a supply of novel bioavailable nitrogen for the food web. However, the fate of the nitrogen fixed by cyanobacteria remains unresolved, as does its importance for secondary pro...
متن کاملNitrogen control in cyanobacteria.
Nitrogen is a quantitatively important bioelement which is incorporated into the biosphere through assimilatory processes carried out by microorganisms and plants. Numerous nitrogencontaining compounds can be used by different organisms as sources of nitrogen. These include, for instance, inorganic ions like nitrate or ammonium and simple organic compounds like urea, amino acids, and some nitro...
