Abstract

Diatoms can survive long periods in dark, anoxic sediments by forming resting spores or resting cells. These have been considered dormant until recently when resting cells of Skeletonema marinoi were shown to assimilate nitrate and ammonium from the ambient environment in dark, anoxic conditions. Here, we show that resting cells of S. marinoi can also perform dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), in dark, anoxic conditions. Transmission electron microscope analyses showed that chloroplasts were compacted, and few large mitochondria had visible cristae within resting cells. Using secondary ion mass spectrometry and isotope ratio mass spectrometry combined with stable isotopic tracers, we measured assimilatory and dissimilatory processes carried out by resting cells of S. marinoi under dark, anoxic conditions. Nitrate was both respired by DNRA and assimilated into biomass by resting cells. Cells assimilated nitrogen from urea and carbon from acetate, both of which are sources of dissolved organic matter produced in sediments. Carbon and nitrogen assimilation rates corresponded to turnover rates of cellular carbon and nitrogen content ranging between 469 and 10,000 years. Hence, diatom resting cells can sustain their cells in dark, anoxic sediments by slowly assimilating and respiring substrates from the ambient environment.

在黑暗缺氧条件下,海鞘的静止细胞同化有机化合物,并通过将硝酸盐还原成铵进行异纤毛呼吸
硅藻可以通过形成休眠孢子或休眠细胞在黑暗缺氧的沉积物中长期存活。这些细胞一直被认为处于休眠状态,直到最近才被证明在黑暗缺氧的条件下,海洋硅藻(Skeletonema marinoi)的休眠细胞可以同化周围环境中的硝酸盐和铵。在这里,我们发现在黑暗缺氧的条件下,海鞘藻的静止细胞也能进行硝酸盐还原氨(DNRA)的异纤吸收。透射电子显微镜分析表明,静止细胞内的叶绿体被压缩,很少有大线粒体具有可见的嵴。利用二级离子质谱法和同位素比质谱法以及稳定同位素示踪剂,我们测量了海牛静息细胞在黑暗缺氧条件下的同化作用和异化作用过程。硝酸盐既被 DNRA 呼吸,也被静止细胞同化为生物质。细胞从尿素中同化氮,从醋酸盐中同化碳,这两种物质都是沉积物中产生的溶解有机物的来源。碳和氮的同化率与细胞碳和氮含量的周转率一致,介于 469 年和 10,000 年之间。因此,硅藻静止细胞可以通过缓慢同化和呼吸环境中的基质来维持其细胞在黑暗缺氧沉积物中的生存。
