干露胁迫对鼠尾藻生理生化影响的研究

鼠尾藻(Sargassum thunbergii)集生于中潮带和低潮带岩石上,在高、中潮带的水陆或石沼中,有的甚至在低潮时较长时间暴露于日光下。低潮露空下的干露胁迫是影响鼠尾藻生存的关键因子。本研究采集野生鼠尾藻为实验材料,在培养箱中分别失水干露0、1、3、6 h,并在海水中恢复培养,测定不同胁迫时间下藻体的失水率、叶绿素荧光参数和生化参数。结果显示,不同大小的鼠尾藻干露胁迫不同时间后的失水率显著不同,胁迫时间越短,藻体越大,失水率越低,大藻体鼠尾藻的保水能力高于小藻体;干露胁迫使鼠尾藻的叶绿素荧光值显著降低,同株鼠尾藻不同部位对干露胁迫的耐受程度显著不同,梢部耐受能力较差,基部耐受能力较强,小藻体和大藻体的梢部伤害较大,不能恢复,鼠尾藻基部可恢复正常生理状态,干露胁迫时,鼠尾藻以非调节性能量耗散机制为主;干露胁迫时,藻体梢部通过抗氧化酶类[(抗超氧阴离子自由基(ASAFR)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD))和非抗氧化物质(可溶性糖、脯氨酸)共同作用来应对胁迫,藻体基部主要是通过上调蛋白、可溶性糖和脯氨酸等含量抵抗胁迫。高中潮带的鼠尾藻较易处于高温、强光和干露失水叠加的胁迫状态,同时,又因外部形态和生活环境的不同,藻体各部分的生理生化特性也有一定的差异。本研究探讨了鼠尾藻干露胁迫下的生理生化状态,对研究鼠尾藻抵抗环境胁迫的生态适应性具有重要的指导意义。     

温度、光照强度和光照周期对铜藻有机碳释放速率的影响

为探究铜藻(Sargassum horneri)的有机碳释放速率、与净初级生产力(NPP)之间的关系及主要的调控因素等问题,本研究采用三变量三水平的正交实验,测定铜藻在不同温度(5、15和25℃)、光照[86、172和258 μmol/(m2·s)]和光照周期(L∶D=6 h∶18 h、L∶D=12 h∶12 h、L∶D=24 h∶0 h,L表示光照时长,D表示黑暗时长)条件下溶解有机碳(DOC)、颗粒有机碳(POC)的释放速率和初级生产力。结果显示,DOC和POC释放速率的范围分别为0.653~4.785 mg/(g·h)和0.066~0.322 mg/(g·h);温度和光照强度分别是铜藻释放DOC和POC的主要调控因素;铜藻在高温、中光、L∶D=6 h∶18 h条件下的DOC释放速率最高[4.785 mg/(g·h)],在高温、高光、L∶D=24 h∶0 h条件下的POC释放速率最高[0.322 mg/(g·h)];铜藻释放的DOC和POC占NPP的比值分别为4%~130%和0.4%~5.9%;DOC释放速率与NPP之间存在负相关关系,POC释放速率与NPP之间无明显相关性。研究结果为深入了解铜藻的生理生态学特性及其对沿海生态系统碳循环的影响提供了科技支撑。     

鼠尾藻有性繁殖和幼孢子体发育的形态学观察

野外跟踪观测烟台芦洋湾地区鼠尾藻的成熟繁殖状况,采集临近成熟的鼠尾藻至实验室培养,跟踪观测其卵子的排放、卵子和受精卵的发育、假根的生长以及幼孢子体的前期发育。试验结果表明,本地区鼠尾藻繁殖期集中在6—8月,鼠尾藻的卵子发育属8核1卵型,卵子受精后约20 h开始脱离生殖托,受精卵先连续进行2次的横分裂,而后再由一端的1个细胞发育成假根,另外2个发育成体细胞。幼孢子体在约2 mm时开始形成分枝突起。

Sargassum horneri as a Functional Food Ameliorated IgE/BSA-Induced Mast Cell Activation and Passive Cutaneous Anaphylaxis in Mice

Sargassum horneri (S. horneri), an edible brown alga, has been proposed as a functional food with an improvement effect on abnormal skin immune responses. The present study investigates the anti-allergic effect of an ethanol extract from S. horneri (SHE) on immunoglobulin E (IgE)/bovine serum albumin (BSA)-mediated activation in bone marrow-derived cultured-mast cells (BMCMCs) and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction in mice. SHE markedly and dose-dependently suppressed the degranulation of BMCMCs by reducing the β-hexosaminidase and histamine release without cytotoxicity. In addition, SHE significantly decreased the FcεRI expression on the surface of BMCMCs and its IgE binding. Moreover, SHE reduced the mRNA expression and the production of allergic cytokines; interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13; interferon (IFN)-γ and/or tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α; and a chemokine, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), by suppressing the activation of Src-family kinases and nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling. In further study, the application of SHE reduced the PCA reaction in an IgE/BSA-induced type I allergic mice model. Taken together, we suggest that SHE has an anti-allergic effect in type I allergic responses.

Structural and Rheological Characteristics of Alginate from Sargassum cristaefolium Extracted by Twin Screw Extruder

This study aimed to investigate the effects of process extrusion on the characteristics of Sargassum cristaefolium sodium alginate (SCSA) extracted using twin-screw extruder. Box-Behnken Design (BBD) from response surface methodology (RSM) was established to understand the effects of temperature, screw speed, and pH on the multiple-responses of alginate characteristics including intrinsic viscosity, yield, and molecular weight. The results revealed that temperature, screw speed, and pH significantly affected (P < .05) all responses. The optimum extraction condition was found at temperature of 58.18°C, screw speed of 77.99 rpm, and pH 10.11. At this condition, the response of residence time distribution was 7.07 ± 0.029 min, yield of 34.01 ± 0.12%, intrinsic viscosity of 460.13 ± 14.75 mL/g, and molecular weight of 217.94 ± 7.14 × 10³ g/mol. This alginate had mannuronic acid to guluronic acid (M/G) ratio of 0.28, and the L-guluronic acid block was 0.78, which was higher than the D-mannuronic acid block. Rheological characterization of SCSA in aqueous solution was shear-thinning pseudoplastic, and alginate gel in 1 M CaCl₂ was more elastic than liquid.
