摘要
Spirogyra Link (1820) is an unbranched filamentous green alga that forms free-floating mats in shallow waters. It occurs widely in static waters such as ponds and ditches, sheltered littoral areas of lakes, and slow-flowing streams. Field observations of its seasonal distribution suggest that the 70-mu m-wide filament form of Spirogyra should have a cool temperature and high irradiance optimum for net photosynthesis. Measurements of net photosynthesis and respiration were made at 58 combinations of light and temperature in a controlled environment facility. Optimum conditions were 25 degrees C and 1500 mu mol photons . m(-2). s(-1), at which net photosynthesis averaged 75.7 mg O-2 . gdm(-1). h(-1). Net photosynthesis teas positive at temperatures from 5 degrees to 35 degrees C at most irradiances except at combinations of extremely low irradiances and high temperatures (7 and 23 mu mol photons . m(-2). s(-1) at 30 degrees C and 7, 23, and 35 mu mol photons . m(-2). s(-1) at 35 degrees C). Respiration rates increased with both temperature and prior irradiance. Light-enhanced respiration rates were significantly greater than dark respiration rates following irradiances of 750 mu mol photons . m(-2). s(-1) or greater. Polynomials were fitted to the data to generate response surfaces; such response surfaces can be used to represent net photosynthesis and respiration in ecological models. The data indicate that the alga can tolerate the cool water and high irradiances characteristic of early spring but cannot maintain positive net photosynthesis under conditions of high temperature and low light (e.g. when exposed to self-shading).
