Abstract

Benthic diatoms are very important primary producers in understanding estuary ecosystems and their productions are largely varied by their photo-physiological characteristics. The short-term effects of increased temperature on the photosynthetic and photo-physiological characteristics of cultured different species of benthic diatoms (Navicula sp., Nitzschia sp., Cylindrotheca closterium, and Pleurosigma elongatum) were investigated by measuring their PSII-fluorescence kinetics using a Diving-PAM. Photosynthesis versus irradiance curves were measured every two hours at six different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and $35^{\circ}C$) for twenty-four hour. The effective quantum yield of PSII ($\Phi_{PSII}$) for most of the species showed a decreasing trend with increased temperature. The relative maximum electron transport rate (rETRmax) was significantly increased up to the optimum temperature level and then sharply decreased. Relative to the values of other parameters, the maximum light use coefficient ($\alpha$) was not substantially changed at lower temperature levels (<$30^{\circ}C$) but significantly decreased only at higher temperatures (30 and $35^{\circ}C$). The light saturation coefficient ($E_K$) mirrored the rETRmax temperature response. In regards to the temperature acclimation abilities of the four species with time, Navicula sp. and C. closterium acclimated to short-term changes in temperature through their photo-physiological adjustments.

저서규조류는 하구역 먹이망을 이해하는 데 중요한 생물로서 그들의 광생리 특성에 따라 일차생산력이 크게 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 단기간 온도 변화가 저서규조류 4종(Navicula sp., Nitzschia sp., Cylindrotheca closterium, Pleurosigma elongatum)의 광합성 반응에 미치는 영향을 Diving PAM을 이용한 엽록소 형광 분석법으로 측정하여 광생리 특성을 분석하였다. 6개의 온도 조건(10, 15, 20, 25, 30, $35^{\circ}C$)에서 2시간 간격으로 24시간 동안 엽록소 형광을 측정하여 P-I 곡선을 도출하였다. 제2광계의 유효양자수율($\Phi_{PSII}$)은 대부분의 종에 있어서 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 상대 최대 전자전달율(rETRmax)은 최적 온도까지 증가한 후 급격하게 감소하였다. 최대 빛이용 효율($\alpha$)은 다른 광합성 매개변수에 비해 온도에 덜 민감하였으나, 높은 온도에서는 감소하였으며, 광포화 계수($E_K$)는 상대 최대 전자전달율의 반응과 매우 유사하였다. 종별 광생리 특성을 분석한 결과, Navicula sp.와 Cylindeotheca closterium가 광생리적 조절을 통하여 단시간의 온도 변화에 광순응하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
