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 |
We measured DOC and TDN fluxes and linked it to the bacterial communities of the sponge holobiont to address research hypothesis 1. It stated that high-microbial abundance (HMA) sponges consume more DOM than low-microbial abundance (LMA) sponges. Changes in fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) over time were investigated to address research hypothesis 2. It proposed that the fluorescence intensity Fmax of fluorophores decreased in incubations that showed a significant loss in DOM. We assessed the biochemical and phospholipid-derived fatty acids (PLFAs) composition of sponge tissue to address hypothesis 3. It suggested that the PLFLA composition of sponges differs between sponge classes. Finally, we tried to better understand the role of these sponges in nutrient cycling around New Zealand by combining data from all analyses. Based on the community composition of the sponge-associated bacteria, we classified Tedania sp., S. meandrina, and Artemisina sp. as HMA sponges and F. raoulensis as LMA sponge. We did not measure a significant DOC flux and only the release of TDN by Tedania sp. was significantly different from 0 μmol TDN g org. C-1 d-1. The presence of four fluorophores were detected in the FDOM pool: 2 tryptophan- and protein-like fluorophores (C1, C2), 1 humic-like fluorophore (C3), and 1 tyrosine-like fluorophore (C4). However, we could not validate hypothesis 2, because Fmax of C1 decreased significantly in S. meandrina incubations, whereas Fmax of C2 grew in the same incubations. Fmax of C3 increased in Tedania sp. incubations, in which Fmax of C4 decreased. In comparison, Fmax of C4 in S. meandrina rose. The PLFA composition of sponge tissue was dominated by long-chain fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, and monosaturated fatty acids, and most PLFAs were sponge- and bacteria-specific. We could not confirmed hypothesis 3, either, because the PLFA composition of the hexactinellid sponge included seven identified PLFAs, whereas the PLFA composition of the demosponges ranged from three to 29 identified PLFAs. |
