Carbohydrate analysis by methanolysis method and application to compositional analysis of transparent exopolymer particles
Measurement of uronic acids (URAs) which are a group of acidic sugar, would be useful for the understanding of dynamics of bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in marine environments. However, the URA analysis using traditional hydrolysis method which is used for neutral sugar analysis poses serious problems in URA that is unstable under hydrolysis. We developed the methanolysis m...
متن کاملPhytoplanktonic DOC and POC production in the Bransfield and Gerlache Straits as derived from kinetic experiments of 14 C incorporation
The production rates of DOC and POC by phytoplankton during the FRUELA 95 cruise were estimated by means of time-course experiments of C-bicarbonate incorporation. A three-compartment carbon exchange model was used to avoid the artifacts that may appear in end-point experiments due to heterotrophic removal of recently released DOC. The study area was classified into three regions with different...
متن کاملProtein and Carbohydrate Exopolymer Particles in the Sea Surface Microlayer (SML)
Exchanges of matter and energy between ocean and atmosphere occur through the sea surface microlayer (SML). The SML is the thin surface layer of the ocean at the ocean-atmosphere interface that has distinctive physical, chemical and biological properties compared with the underlying water. We measured the concentration of two types of exopolymer particles in the SML and underlying water in the ...
متن کاملMacrofaunal Ecology of Sedimented Hydrothermal Vents in the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica
Sedimented hydrothermal vents, where hot, mineral-rich water flows through sediment, are poorly understood globally, both in their distribution and the ecology of individual vent fields. We explored macrofaunal community ecology at a sediment-hosted hydrothermal vent in the Southern Ocean. This is the first such study of these ecosystems outside of the Pacific and the furthest south (62S) of an...
متن کاملProduction of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) by phyto- and bacterioplankton
Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) exist abundantly in oceans and lakes and have been found to play an important role in sedimentation and biochemical cycling of matter. However, the origin of these particles and the factors regulating their formation are not well understood. This study examined several strains of algae and bacteria with respect to their production of TEP or TEP precursors....
