Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
The ability of phytoplankton species to initiate photo-protective mechanisms and the rates by which they do so have been suggested to be partly responsible for species succession. To examine whether this is also true in the case of diatom spring blooms preceding Phaeocystis globosa, cultures of P. globosa and Thalassiosira sp. were investigated under controlled laboratory conditions for differences in their xanthophyll cycling rates and abilities. It was found that P. globosa exhibited active and rapid xanthophyll cycling when cultures photoacclimated to 10, 50 and 100 µmol quanta m-2 s-1, were shifted to 150 and 250 µmol quanta m-2 s-1. The early spring diatom Thalassiosira only exhibited xanthophyll cycling when acclimated to 10 µmol quanta m-2 s-1. P. globosa always exhibited faster xanthophyll cycling rates than Thalassiosira, giving P. globosa a possible competitive edge over Thalassiosira sp. It was also found that the magnitude of xanthophyll cycling correlates with the intensity of light changes during the one-hour xanthophyll cycling experiments, and thus may be regarded as related to photoacclimation. |
