Stable Carbon Isotope Evidence for Atmospheric CO(inf2) Uptake by Cyanobacterial Surface Scums in a Eutrophic Lake.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The carbon isotope composition of photosynthetic organisms reflects the (delta)(sup13)C of their inorganic carbon sources. The large difference between (delta)(sup13)C in cyanobacterial surface scums (-25 to -18(permil)) and subsurface blooms (-34 to -30(permil)) in a subarctic lake indicates direct atmospheric CO(inf2) fixation by the scums.

A MODIS-Based Novel Method to Distinguish Surface Cyanobacterial Scums and Aquatic Macrophytes in Lake Taihu
Satellite remote sensing can be an effective alternative for mapping cyanobacterial scums and aquatic macrophyte distribution over large areas compared with traditional ship’s site-specific samplings. However, similar optical spectra characteristics between aquatic macrophytes and cyanobacterial scums in red and near infrared (NIR) wavebands create a barrier to their discrimination when they co...
متن کاملAnomalous carbon isotope fractionation between atmospheric CO2 and dissolved inorganic carbon induced by intense photosynthesis
A stable isotope mass-balance of dissolved inorganic carbon during a blue-green algae bloom in a softwater lake demonstrates that at low partial pressure of carbon dioxide there must be a large net negative carbon isotope fractionation between atmospheric CO1 and the CO2 absorbed by lake water at pH = 9.5. The net fractionation of CO*(g) with respect to HCO; was about -13%~ compared with about ...
متن کاملPartitioning of CO(2) Fixation in the Colonial Cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa: Mechanism Promoting Formation of Surface Scums.
Constraints on inorganic carbon (C(i)) availability stimulated buoyancy in natural, photosynthetically active populations of the colonial blue-green alga (cyanobacterium) Microcystis aeruginosa. In nonmixed eutrophic river water and cultures, O(2) evolution determinations indicated C(i) limitation of photosynthesis, which was overcome either by CO(2) additions to the aqueous phase or by exposur...
متن کاملStable isotope (dC and dN) values of sediment organic matter in subtropical lakes of different trophic status
Lake sediments contain archives of past environmental conditions in and around water bodies and stable isotope analyses (dC and dN) of sediment cores have been used to infer past environmental changes in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we analyzed organic matter (OM), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and dC and dN values in sediment cores from three subtropical lakes that span a bro...

Patterns of (sup14)CO(inf2) incorporation into molecular components of the thermophilic cyanobacterial mat communities inhabiting hot springs located in Yellowstone National Park and Synechococcus sp. strain C1 were investigated. Exponentially growing Synechococcus sp. strain C1 partitioned the majority of incorporated (sup14)CO(inf2) into protein, low-molecular-weight metabolites, and lipid fr...
