Characterization of microcystin production in an Antarctic cyanobacterial mat community.
Cyanobacteria are well known for their production of non-ribosomal cyclic peptide toxins, including microcystin, in temperate and tropical regions, however, the production of these compounds in extremely cold environments is still largely unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the production of protein phosphatase inhibiting microcystins by Antarctic cyanobacteria. We have identified microcysti...
متن کاملBiological Criteria, Environmental Health and Estuarine Macrobenthic Community Structure
Biological criteria for defining water quality and the presence of acceptable levels of benthic resources are evaluated for estuarine macrobenthic communities of the lower Chesapeake Bay, USA. Models of expected community values as a function of salinity are presented for community biomass, numbers of individuals, species richness, percent biomass of deep-dwelling species, percent biomass of eq...
متن کاملMacrobenthic Community Structure, Secondary Production, and Rates of Bioturbation and Sedimentation at the Kiine'ohe Bay Lagoon Floor!
The Kane'ohe Bay lagoon floor is one of the largest shallowwater, muddy habitats in Hawai'i and is a major repository for sediments and, possibly, pollutants from the Kane'ohe watershed. Nonetheless, macrobenthic community structure, secondary production, and particle-mixing rates at the lagoon floor remain largely unstudied. During 1990-1991, we surveyed macrobenthic community structure at fou...
متن کاملInterannual variability in net community production at the Western Antarctic Peninsula region (19972014)
In this study, we examined the interannual variability of net community production (NCP) in the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) using in situ O2/Ar-NCP estimates (2008–2014) and satellite data (SeaWiFS and MODIS-Aqua) from 1997 to 2014. We found that NCP generally first peaks offshore and follows sea-ice retreat from offshore to inshore. Annually integrated NCP (ANCP) displays an onshore-to-o...
متن کاملBiological assessment of river Haji Abad (Hormuzgan province) Using Macrobenthic Community Structure
This study aimed to investigate the population structure of benthic communities in Haji Abad River, West of Hormuzgan province. The study was conducted from October 91 till September 92. The three sites were determined based on regional topography and large benthic fauna. Sampling was performed monthly using a 500 micron Surber sampler with three replicates at each station. Samples were fixed i...
