Oligotrophic Bacteria Enhance Algal Growth under Iron-Deficient Conditions.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Halomonas sp., a marine halophilic and oligotrophic bacterium, was grown on exudates of Dunaliella bardawil. The bacteria increased the solubility of Fe, thereby enhancing its availability to the algae. As a result, the algal growth rate increased. Because of these syntrophic relations, growth of the marine alga D. bardawil was facilitated at Fe levels that would otherwise induce Fe deficiency and inhibit algal growth.

Anthracene degradation by an oligotrophic bacterium isolated from refinery soil
Anthracene is a widespread environmental pollutant with carcinogenic and genotoxic properties. Biodegradation is a simple, cost-effective and safe technique to clean-up contaminated environments. The aims of this study are isolation and characterization of an oligotrophic bacterium with the ability to degrade anthracene and the assessment of in vitro biodegradation process. For this purpose pet...
متن کاملAn extremely oligotrophic bacterium, Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4, isolated from crude oil.
Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4, which was isolated from crude oil, showed extremely oligotrophic growth and formed its colonies on a minimal salt medium solidified using agar or silica gel without any additional carbon source. N9T-4 did not grow under CO(2)-limiting conditions but could grow on a medium containing NaHCO(3) under the same conditions, suggesting that the oligotrophic growth of N9...
متن کاملThe Iron Assimilatory Protein, FEA1, from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Facilitates Iron-Specific Metal Uptake in Yeast and Plants
We demonstrate that the unique green algal iron assimilatory protein, FEA1, is able to complement the Arabidopsis iron-transporter mutant, irt1, as well as enhance iron accumulation in FEA1 expressing wild-type plants. Expression of the FEA1 protein reduced iron-deficient growth phenotypes when plants were grown under iron limiting conditions and enhanced iron accumulation up to fivefold relati...
متن کاملPhotolysis of iron-siderophore chelates promotes bacterial-algal mutualism.
Marine microalgae support world fisheries production and influence climate through various mechanisms. They are also responsible for harmful blooms that adversely impact coastal ecosystems and economies. Optimal growth and survival of many bloom-forming microalgae, including climatically important dinoflagellates and coccolithophores, requires the close association of specific bacterial species...
متن کاملInfluence of bacteria on phytoplankton cell mortality with phosphorus or nitrogen as the algal-growth-limiting nutrient
The effects of bacteria on phytoplankton mortality were studied with phosphorus or nitrogen as the algal-growth-limiting nutrients. Experiments were performed with the &atom Ditylum brightwellii using batch cultures, steady state continuous cultures and batch-mode cultures which were starved for the limiting nutrient after being preconditioned in a chemostat. With phosphorus limiting algal grow...
