Photochemical production of dissolved organic carbon from resuspended sediments
A series of controlled photolysis experiments using simulated sunlight was conducted in the presence and absence of estuarine bottom sediments to address the role of sediment resuspension on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) cycling in estuarine and coastal waters. In 0.2-mm-filtered estuarine water samples with no added sediment, DOC concentrations decreased from 0.4 to 3 mmol L21 h21 as a result...
متن کاملCharacteristics and Reactivity of Algae-Produced Dissolved Organic Carbon
Algae green, blue–green, and diatom grown in inorganic media produced particulate and dissolved organic carbon DOC . DOC produced by a green-alga contains 25% hydrophobic acids. DOC from all algae had specific ultraviolet absorbance values less than 2.0 m−1 mg/L −1. Algae-produced DOC was biologically labile; greater than 60% degraded in bioreactors within 5 days. The biodegradable material lik...
متن کاملLatitudinal Gradients in Degradation of Marine Dissolved Organic Carbon
Heterotrophic microbial communities cycle nearly half of net primary productivity in the ocean, and play a particularly important role in transformations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The specific means by which these communities mediate the transformations of organic carbon are largely unknown, since the vast majority of marine bacteria have not been isolated in culture, and most measurem...
متن کاملMicrobial and photochemical reactivity of fluorescent dissolved organic matter in a coastal upwelling system
We observed significant changes in the dissolved oxygen content and the fluorescence of humic substances and dissolved aromatic amino acids after 24 h light and dark incubations in the coastal upwelling system of the Rı́a de Vigo under a wide variety of meteorologic and oceanographic conditions. Respiration rates were inversely correlated with the net production of humic fluorescence in the dark...
متن کاملPhotochemical and microbial degradation of dissolved lignin phenols: Implications for the fate of terrigenous dissolved organic matter in marine environments
[1] Molecular level characterizations of dissolved lignin were conducted in Mississippi River plume waters to study the impact of various removal mechanisms (photooxidation, microbial degradation, and flocculation) on dissolved organic material (DOM) concentrations and compositions. Prior to analysis, dissolved (<0.2-mm pore size) samples were size fractionated by ultrafiltration into high mole...
