Primary soil characteristics were determined using standard techniques, such as dichromate oxidation (organic matter content), the Kjeldahl method (nitrogen content), the Olsen method (phosphorus content) and a Bernard calcimeter (carbonate content). The Bouyoucos Densimetry method was used to establish textural data. Exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K and 10 Na) extracted with 1 M NH 4Cl and exchangeable aluminium extracted with 1 M KCl were determined using atomic absorption/emission spectrophotometry with an AA200 PerkinElmer analyser. The effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) was calculated as the sum of the values of the last two measurements (sum of the exchangeable cations and the exchangeable Al). Analyses were performed immediately after sampling. 15 Hydrocarbon analysis Extraction (5 g of sample N and Nbs) was performed with dichloromethane:acetone (1:1) using a Soxtherm extraction apparatus (Gerhardt GmbH & Co. -
New Zealand's Genetic Diversity
1.13 NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY NEW ZEALAND’S GENETIC DIVERSITY Dennis P. Gordon National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, Private Bag 14901, Kilbirnie, Wellington 6022, New Zealand ABSTRACT: The known genetic diversity represented by the New Zealand biota is reviewed and summarised, largely based on a recently published New Zealand inventory of biodiversity. All kingdoms and eukaryote phyla are covered, updated to refl ect the latest phylogenetic view of Eukaryota. The total known biota comprises a nominal 57 406 species (c. 48 640 described). Subtraction of the 4889 naturalised-alien species gives a biota of 52 517 native species. A minimum (the status of a number of the unnamed species is uncertain) of 27 380 (52%) of these species are endemic (cf. 26% for Fungi, 38% for all marine species, 46% for marine Animalia, 68% for all Animalia, 78% for vascular plants and 91% for terrestrial Animalia). In passing, examples are given both of the roles of the major taxa in providing ecosystem services and of the use of genetic resources in the New Zealand economy. Key words: Animalia, Chromista, freshwater, Fungi, genetic diversity, marine, New Zealand, Prokaryota, Protozoa, terrestrial.

Novel Interactions Between Phytoplankton and Microzooplankton: Their Influence on the Coupling Between Growth and Grazing Rates in the Sea

Tel: 360-293-2188. E-mail: [email protected] Key words: phytoplankton, microzooplankton, grazing, stability, behavior, evolution Abstract Understanding the processes that regulate phytoplankton biomass and growth rate remains one of the central issues for biological oceanography. While the role of resources in phytoplankton regulation (‘bottom up’ control) has been explored extensively, the role of grazing (‘top down’ control) is less well understood. This paper seeks to apply the approach pioneered by Frost and others, i.e. exploring consequences of individual grazer behavior for whole ecosystems, to questions about microzooplankton–phytoplankton interactions. Given the diversity and paucity of phytoplankton prey in much of the sea, there should be strong pressure for microzooplankton, the primary grazers of most phytoplankton, to evolve strategies that maximize prey encounter and utilization while allowing for survival in times of scarcity. These strategies include higher grazing rates on faster-growing phytoplankton cells, the direct use of light for enhancement of protist digestion rates, nutritional plasticity, rapid population growth combined with formation of resting stages, and defenses against predatory zooplankton. Most of these phenomena should increase community-level coupling (i.e. the degree of instantaneous and time-dependent similarity) between rates of phytoplankton growth and microzooplankton grazing, tending to stabilize planktonic ecosystems. -
Biogeographic Variations of Picophytoplankton in Three Contrasting Seas: the Bay of Bengal, South China Sea and Western Pacific Ocean

Here, we conducted a wider survey (5 cruises) in the Bay of Bengal (BOB), South China Sea (SCS) and Western Pacific Ocean (WPO) to better understand the biogeographic variations of picophytoplankton. Prochlorococcus (Pro) were the most abundant picophytoplank- ton (averaging [1.9−3.6] × 104 cells ml−1) across the 3 seas, while average abundances of Syne- chococcus (Syn) and picoeukaryotes (PEuks) were generally 1−2 orders of magnitude lower than Pro. Average abundances of total picophytoplankton were similar between the BOB and SCS (4.7 × 104 cells ml−1), but were close to 2-fold less abundant in the WPO (2.5 × 104 cells ml−1). Pro and Syn accounted for a substantial fraction of total picophytoplankton biomass (70−83%) in the 3 con- trasting seas, indicating the ecological importance of Pro and Syn as primary producers. -
Periodic and Coordinated Gene Expression Between a Diazotroph and Its Diatom Host

Dyhrman1,2 Received: 11 April 2018 / Revised: 28 June 2018 / Accepted: 28 July 2018 / Published online: 16 August 2018 © International Society for Microbial Ecology 2018 Abstract In the surface ocean, light fuels photosynthetic carbon fixation of phytoplankton, playing a critical role in ecosystem processes including carbon export to the deep sea. In oligotrophic oceans, diatom–diazotroph associations (DDAs) play a keystone role in ecosystem function because diazotrophs can provide otherwise scarce biologically available nitrogen to the diatom host, fueling growth and subsequent carbon sequestration. Despite their importance, relatively little is known about the nature of these associations in situ. Here we used metatranscriptomic sequencing of surface samples from the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) to reconstruct patterns of gene expression for the diazotrophic symbiont Richelia and we – 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: examined how these patterns were integrated with those of the diatom host over day night transitions. Richelia exhibited significant diel signals for genes related to photosynthesis, N2 fixation, and resource acquisition, among other processes. N2 fixation genes were significantly co-expressed with host nitrogen uptake and metabolism, as well as potential genes involved in carbon transport, which may underpin the exchange of nitrogen and carbon within this association. Patterns of expression suggested cell division was integrated between the host and symbiont across the diel cycle. -

Control of Phytoplankton Growth in Nutrient Recycling Ecosystems

Frede ~hingstadl,Egil sakshaug2 ' Department of Microbiology and Plant Physiology, University of Bergen, Jahnebk. 5,N-5007 Bergen, Norway Trondhjem Biological Station, The Museum. University of Trondheim, Bynesvn. 46, N-7018 Trondheim, Norway ABSTRACT: Some of the principles governing phytoplankton growth, biomass, and species composi- tion in 2-layered pelagic ecosystems are explored using an idealized, steady-state, mathematical model, based on simple extensions of Lotka-Volterra type equations. In particular, the properties of a food web based on 'small' and 'large' phytoplankton are investigated. Features of the phytoplankton community that may be derived from this conceptually simple model include CO-existenceof more than one species on one limiting nutrient, a rapid growth rate for a large fraction of the phytoplankton community in oligotrophic waters, a long food chain starting from a population of small phytoplankton in waters with moderate mixing over the nutricline, and a transition to dominance of a food chain based on large phytoplankton when mixing is increased. As pointed out by other authors, careless use of the concept of one limiting factor may be potentially confusing in such systems. To avoid this, a distinction in terminology between 'controlling' and 'limiting' factors is suggested. INTRODUCTION dominance of short food chains in upwelling areas (Ryther 1969).

But the polyP accumulation occurring in sponges and their symbiotic bacteria have been little studied. The amounts of polyP exhibited significant differences in twelve sponges from marine environments with high or low dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations which were quantified by spectral analysis, even though in the same sponge genus, e.g., Mycale sp. or Callyspongia sp. PolyP enrichment rates of sponges in oligotrophic environments were far higher than those in eutrophic environments.
