An evaluation of the accumulation of intracellular inorganic nitrogen pools by marine microalgae in batch cultures

Abstract: A B S T R A C TMethods of extraction, changes in concentrations with growth, and effects of culture conditions on intracellular inorganic nitrogen pools (IIN -ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) were studied in nine species of marine microalgae in batch cultures. The microalgae were analysed to compare three methods of extraction of IIN, one of them developed in this study. The extraction of IIN occurs efficient by with all three methods for four out of the nine species tested. However, for five species significant… Show more

“…Indeed, evidence for the accumulation of intracellular inorganic nitrogen pools has been observed for both marine and freshwater microalgae acclimated to batch cultures, showing that microalgae are capable of "luxury uptake" in the presence of excess amounts of nitrogen or phosphate, using these reserves to sustain growth when no external supply of nutrient is available (Lavín and Lourenço, 2005;Khalid et al, 2019). Luxury uptake has been observed before in studies of microalgae by Droop (1973Droop ( , 1983 and Lange and Oyarzun (1992), and Laws et al (2013) for nutrients such as phosphate and vitamin B 12.…”

“…à maior eficiência na absorção de nutrientes por células menores, devido à maior razão superfície-volume destas (LAVÍN & LOURENÇO, 2005), bem como a diferenças em atividade de enzimas associadas ao metabolismo de nutrientes (LOURENÇO, 2006). As proteínas foram os componentes mais abundantes em todas as espécies, como observado por BECKER 2007e BROWN et al (1997).…”

“…These results may be related to the theoretical greater efficiency of smaller cells to take up dissolved nutrients, as a consequence of the greater surface volume ratio (Lavı´n and Lourenc¸o, 2005). On the other hand, a lower concentration of pCO 2 = 280 latm caused cell enlargement and an increase in pCO 2 from 550 to 1050 latm which showed disorganization malformations, chloroplast damage, disintegration of thylakoid membranes and the enlargement of the cell volume, and the occurrence of cell lyses, this may be due to their slower growth rate.…”
