Photosymbiosis in Intertidal and Subtidal Tropical Sponges
The frequency of marine sponges that harbour photosynthetic organisms was examined in a tropical area of the Western Indian Ocean. Out of 77 species from five different habitats in Zanzibar, 55 (71.5%) were found to have photosynthetic activity, as assayed by in situ pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry (and validated by measurements of chlorophyll content). A significantly higher percen...
متن کاملGross photosynthesis and lake community metabolism during the spring phytoplankton bloom
Daily productivity determinations of linear photosynthetic electron transfer and of net and gross inorganic CO2 uptake were determined in situ throughout a 6-week sampling period of the spring phytoplankton bloom in Esthwaite Water in the English Lake District. Photosynthetic electron transfer rates, expressed as gross O2 evolution, were determined from fast repetition rate (FRR) fluorometry an...
متن کاملEffects of Habitat-Forming Species Richness, Evenness, Identity, and Abundance on Benthic Intertidal Community Establishment and Productivity
In a context of reduced global biodiversity, the potential impacts from the loss of habitat-forming species (HFS) on ecosystem structure and functioning must be established. These species are often the main community primary producers and have a major role in the establishment of organisms through facilitation processes. This study focuses on macroalgae and mussels as HFS within an intertidal z...
متن کاملThe effect of organic ligands exuded by intertidal seaweeds on copper complexation.
Copper complexation in marine systems is mainly controlled by organic matter, partially produced by micro- and macroalgae that release exudates with the capacity to bind metals. This feature is important as it influences bioavailability, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and transport of copper through biological membranes. The release of Cu-complexing ligands by seaweeds cultured under copper excess ...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic performance of surface-associated algae below sea ice as measured with a pulse-amplitude-modulated (PAM) fluorometer and O2 microsensors
The photosynthetic performance of sea ice microalgae, benthic microalgae, coralline red algae (Phymatolithon foecundum) and brown macroalgae (Laminaria saccharina, Fucus evanescens and Desmarestia aculeata) in an ice-covered high-Arctic fjord (Young Sound, NE Greenland) was studied with in situ instruments for oxygen microprofiling and active chlorophyll fluorescence measurements. In situ measu...
