Parallel pathways of potassium transport in the alga Hydrodictyon reticulatum. Effects of calcium.

The effect of ouabain on the Alga Hydrodictyon reticulatum.

The action of the cardiac glycoside ouabain on animal cells was thoroughly studied and its characteristics are well known (see Weatherall 1962): the cells gain sodium and lose potassium, the cell membrane potential decaying. This is commonly interpreted as a rerult of a specific sodium-potassium transport inhibition . The effects of ouabain were also looked for on giant cells of Characeae; some...

Effects of mannitol hypertonicity on water and ion contents in the alga Hydrodictyon reticulatum.

Long-term effects of mannitol hypertonicity on the water and ion contents in the fresh-water alga Hydrodictyon reticulatum were studied. The cells did not behave as osmometers and a closer examination suggested that wall elasticity was related to the medium tonicity and that the rate of sodium extrusion from the cells depended on the wall (turgor) pressure.

Ecological impacts of water net (Hydrodictyon reticulatum) in Lake Aniwhenua, New Zealand

The ecological impacts of Hydrodictyon reticulatum blooms (1989-94) were studied at Lake Aniwhenua (a constructed lake) in North Island, New Zealand by collating fish, invertebrate and macrophyte data collected towards the end of a four year bloom period and following its decline. Hydrodictyon reticulatum had some localised impacts on the biota of the lake. Some macrophyte beds were smothered t...

Allelopathy Inhibitory Effects of Hydrodictyon reticulatum on Chlorella pyrenoidosa under Co-Culture and Liquor-Cultured Conditions

Eutrophication has become increasingly serious in recent years, which severely impairs the aquatic ecosystem. Applying environmentally-friendly methods to effectively control the growth of algae and avoid eutrophication has been proved to be a promising way. Thus, the potential of Hydrodictyon reticulatum on eutrophication control was studied in this research. The allelopathy inhibitory effects...
