Study on Nutrients Uptake Kinetics of Typical Enteromorpha Algae from Lianyungang

Abstract:

Green tides outbreak frequently around Lianyungang surrounding waters in recent years. In order to understand the nutrient response relationship with the typical Enteromorpha species, the experiment investigated uptake kinetics of NO3-N, NH4-N and PO4-P with Michaelis-Menten equation. It was found that the Ks values of Enteromorpha linza are lower than that of Enteromorpha prolifera, which indicated E. linza have a better ability to adapt low nutrient environment. Vmax for various nitrogen species followed the order of NO3-N > NH4-N, indicating ammonia absorption can inhibit the uptake of nitrate. The study provided a theoretical basis for exploring the Enteromorpha outbreak mechanism and marine ecological effects assessment.
