Growth Effect of Exogenous Nitric Oxide on Platymonas subcordiformis and Spectrum Study
外源一氧化氮对亚心形扁藻的生长效应及光谱研究

Experiments on the effects of nitric oxide(NO) on the growth of marine green algae Platymonas subcordiformis were conducted,under the condition of different NO concentrations and illumination intensity respectively. The chlorophyll-a(Chl-a) and carotenoid contents of algae were measured,and the absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum under the room temperature were also determined.The results are as follows: The growth of Platymonas subcordiformis was obviously promoted or inhibited when different concentrations of NO was added only once or twice a day during the cultivation.So there are NO threshold concentrations for algae growth.Under the different illumination,the influence of different NO concentrations on the algae growth are identical.Exogenous NO can make up the algae growth degraded by low illumination.The influence of NO on the photosynthesis pigments content is consistent with that on algae density.The compound proteins constitute of Chl-a did not emerge marked change when NO were added,but the contents of photosynthesis pigments and their relative compose were affected.NO can improve the transfer efficiency of cell exploding energy,and enhance the photosynthesis speed,so the algae cell growths are quickened,and the algae biomass are increased.
