Generatienof Reactive Oxygen SpeciesbyRaphidophycean Phytoplankton

چکیده
CV5attonella marina, a raphidophycean flagellate, is one of the most toxic red tide phytoplankton and causes seyere damage to fish farming. Recent studies demonstrated that C7iattonella sp. generates superoxide (02'), hydirogen perexide (H202), and hydroxyl radicals ( ・ OH), which may be responsible for the toxicity ef C marina. In this study, we found that other raphidophycean fiagellates such as llbterosigma akashiwo,

Photochemical and biochemical controls on reactive oxygen and iron speciation in the pelagic surface ocean
A time-dependent chemistry model is used to predict reactive oxygen species (ROS=H2O2+O2 ) and dissolved Fe (DFe) speciation in the surface ocean. A new feature of the model is inclusion of biological sources of superoxide. The model suggests that biochemistry mediated by phytoplankton cells is as important as photochemistry for the formation of ROS. Formation of stable organic Fe(III) complexe...
متن کاملTiO2 Nanoparticles Are Phototoxic to Marine Phytoplankton
Nanoparticulate titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) is highly photoactive, and its function as a photocatalyst drives much of the application demand for TiO(2). Because TiO(2) generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), nanoparticulate TiO(2) has been used in antibacterial coatings and wastewater disinfection, and has been investigated as an anti-cancer agent. Oxi...
متن کاملSeasonal and spatial variability of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the Mediterranean seagrass Posidonia oceanica
We investigated for the first time the occurrence of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in the leaves of Posidonia oceanica and we report its variability during 4 sampling periods covering the seasonal cycle (February, June, August and November) and along a gradient from 10 m to 30 m depth. The P. oceanica leaf DMSP content expressed per mass of dry weight (dw) ranged from 0.1 to 33.9 mol gdw−1 ...
متن کاملPhotoinactivation of Photosystem II in Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus
The marine picocyanobacteria Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus numerically dominate open ocean phytoplankton. Although evolutionarily related they are ecologically distinct, with different strategies to harvest, manage and exploit light. We grew representative strains of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus and tracked their susceptibility to photoinactivation of Photosystem II under a range of li...
متن کاملGrowth, Grazing, and Starvation Survival in Three Heterotrophic Dinoflagellate Species.
To assess the effects of fluctuating prey availability on predator population dynamics and grazing impact on phytoplankton, we measured growth and grazing rates of three heterotrophic dinoflagellate species-Oxyrrhis marina, Gyrodinium dominans and Gyrodinium spirale-before and after depriving them of phytoplankton prey. All three dinoflagellate species survived long periods (> 10 d) without alg...
