Example text
Howarth’s group considered that, at the levels of turbulence used, anoxic microzones could not possibly have persisted on the surfaces of the cyanobacteria. In the past, anoxic microzones have been considered essential to nitrogen fixation by these organisms, and the inhibition of these zones by higher turbulence in coastal waters has been given as an explanation of the lower rates of N fixation as compared with lakes. This idea is no longer tenable. In general it seems that turbulence stimulates the growth of many kinds of phytoplankton, but inhibits the growth of dinoflagellate populations.
6 × 10−6 s, travelling only 10−4 µm. It is rather like a human swimming in a pool of molasses and forbidden to move any part of the body faster than 1 cm min−1. One consequence of this situation is that jet propulsion just does not work: it relies on inertial forces. A scallop-like animal at this scale would just expel the liquid as it closed its shell and take it in again on opening, getting nowhere in the process. The mechanisms that work best under these conditions are the “flexible oar” (cilium) and the “corkscrew” (flagellum pointing forward) (Purcell 1977).
Nevertheless, the growth rate increased 25–40%. For the flagellate Brachiomonas submarina, the higher level of turbulence resulted in a 60% increase in its growth rate. Increase in turbulence may have affected the levels of light experienced by the cells and may have contributed to the results. The same type of apparatus was used by Howarth et al. (1993) to test the effect of turbulence on the nitrogen-fixing activity of heterocystic cyanobacteria. Although they used turbulence levels greater than those normally encountered in lakes or coastal waters (except perhaps in surf zones), no inhibition of nitrogen fixation was found.
