We used continuous measurements of dissolved oxygen (DO) in dark bottles to characterise patterns of the dark respiration rate (R-dark) for three marine phytoplankton monocultures and in natural-water samples from two marine coastal systems. Furthermore, patterns of ecosystem community respiration rate were determined from open-water changes in DO in a fjord and in a lake. We considered two models of R-dark to describe temporal changes in DO: constant R-dark and decreasing R-dark; increasing R-dark. In addition, the effect of incubation time on R-dark was investigated in bottle incubations. Constant R-dark was observed in short-term (12-h) bottle incubations in natural-water samples from two marine coastal systems. Declining R-dark was observed in marine phytoplankton cultures and open-water measurements in a lake. Increasing R-dark was observed in open-water measurements in a fjord, particularly during summer. Long-term (120-h) bottle incubations in natural-water samples showed an increase in R-dark after 48 and 72 h. We show that the conventional expectation of constant rates of respiration in darkness is far from typical, because non-linear changes are common under both controlled experimental conditions, as well as for open-water measurements of ecosystem respiration.

Diurnal gut pigment rhythm and metabolic rate of Calanus euxinus in the Black Sea Besiktepe, S; Svetlichny, L; Yuneva, T; Romanova, Z; Shulman, G (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-04-01) The vertical distribution, diel gut pigment content and oxygen consumption of Calanus euxinus were studied in April and September 1995 in the Black Sea. Gut pigment content of C. euxinus females was associated with diel vertical migration of the individuals, and it varied with depth and time. Highest gut pigment content was observed during the nighttime, when females were in the chlorophyll a (chl a) rich surface waters, but significant feeding also occurred in the deep layer. Gut pigment content throughout...
Spatial and temporal variations of tintinnids (Ciliata: Protozoa) in the Bay of Mersin, Northeastern Mediterranean Sea POLAT, SEVİM; TERBIYIK KURT, TUBA; Tuğrul, Süleyman (National Documentation Centre (EKT), 2019-01-01) Seasonal variations in species composition and abundance of tintinnids were investigated in the eutrophic coastal and offshore waters of Mersin Bay. Twelve sampling cruises were performed from September 2008 to February 2011. A total of 85 tintinnid taxa were identified. Among the recorded genera, agglutinated Tintinnopsis had the largest number of species (12 species), followed by hyaline loricated Eutintinnius (9 species), and Proplectella (7 species). Stenosemella ventricosa, Tintinnopsis beroidea, T. co...
Distribution and abundance of ctenophores, and their zooplankton food in the Black Sea. I. Pleurobrachia pileus Mutlu, E; Bingel, F (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-12-01) The distribution of Pleurobrachia pileus Muller, 1776 in the Black Sea was determined using plankton samples collected above the anoxic zone (maximum of 200 m) in the winter, spring, and summer of 1991 to 1995; The summer samples were collected in 1991 to 1993 (for a previous) and are included in this paper for comparative purposes. High concentrations of P. pileus were found at the northern edges of anticyclonic eddies along the southern coastal regions. The biomass and abundance of P. pileus increased fro...
A study of the relative dominance of selected anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria in a continuous bioreactor by fluorescence in situ hybridization İçgen, Bülent; Harrıson, S.T.L. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-01-01) The diversity and the community structure of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in an anaerobic continuous bioreactor used for treatment of a sulfate-containing wastewater were investigated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Hybridization to the 16S rRNA probe EUB338 for the domain Bacteria was performed, followed by a nonsense probe NON338 as a control for nonspecific staining. Sulfate-reducing consortia were identified by using five nominally genus-specific probes (SRB129 for Desulfobacter, SRB221 for De...
Is there any relationship between phytoplankton seasonal dynamics and the carbonate system? Merico, A; Tyrrell, T; Cokacar, T (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) Production of calcium carbonate by marine calcifying organisms has been shown to decrease under increasing CO2. This effect appears to be driven by a decrease in [CO32-]. The modelling study here described aims at investigating whether the success of a marine calcifying phytoplankton species, the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi, may be tied to [CO32-]. The work highlights the complex interactions between the carbonate system variables and spring blooms, and the possibility of a link to the competition bet...
