The strain of C. marina preferred high temperatures, with an optimal temperature of 25℃, and 18℃ was the minimum for its survival. Higher cell number and growth rate were obtained in high nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations （500 μg/L, 74μg/L） than under nutrient limitation. Nitrogen influenced the growth most, as the specific growth rate and maximum cell density were lower in nitrogen- limited cultures than noted under phosphorus limitation or under limitation from both. C. marina was capable of using many kinds of organic nitrogen sources including L-serine （L-Ser）, glycine （Gly）, alanine （Ala）, L-threonine （L-Thr）, glutamic acid （Glu） and urea, but could not utilize uric acid. Various forms of organic phosphorus compound such as glucose-6-phosphate （G6P）, sodium glycerophosphate （GYP）, adenosine triphosphate （ATP）, adenosine monophosphate （AMP）, cyti- dine monophosphate （CMP）, guanosine monophosphate （GMP）, uridine monophosphate （UMP）, 4-nitrophenylphosphate （NPP） and triethyl phosphate （TEP） supported the growth as well. Algal cells had the ability to sustain growth under nitrogenand/or phosphorus-free conditions particularly under phosphorus depleted condition. These results led to the hypothesis that high loading of nitrogen has played an important role in frequent C. marina blooms in the past decade, and its capability for utilization of diverse forms of organic nutrients and growth in low nutrient conditions make this species a likely recurrent dominant in the Daya Bay phytoplankton assemblages, visible as more frequent blooms.展开更多

This review describes several factors controlling the dynamics of soil microbial biomass. These factors mainly include organic carbon and nitrogen limitation, residue and nutrient management, differences in plant species, soil texture, soil moisture and temperature. On the basis of detailed analysis, it is reasonable that future research would be focused on the impact of land use change on soil MB in tropical and subtropical ecosystems.展开更多

The study was conducted with organic matter to find out the reducing effect on arsenic load to rice （cv. Khitish）. It was observed that intermittent ponding reduced arsenic uptake （23.33% in root, 13.84% in shoot and 19.84% in leaf） at panicle initiation stage, instead of continuous ponding. A decreasing trend of arsenic accumulation （root straw husk whole grain milled grain） was observed in different plant parts at harvest. Combined applications of lathyrus ＋ vermicompost ＋ poultry manure reduced arsenic transport in plant parts （root, straw, husk, whole grains and milled grain） which was significantly at par （p 0.05） with chopped rice straw （5 tons/ha ） ＋ lathyrus green manuring （5 tons/ha） in comparison to control and corresponding soils. A significant negative correlation of arsenic with phosphorus （grain P with arsenic in different parts R 2 = 0.627–0.726 at p 0.01） was observed. Similarly, soil arsenic had a negative correlation with soil available phosphorus （R 2 = 0.822 at p 0.001） followed by soil nitrogen （R 2 = 0.762 at p 0.01） and soil potassium （R 2 = 0.626 at p 0.01）. Hence, effective management of contaminated irrigation water along with organic matter could reduce the arsenic build up to plants and soil.展开更多
