摘要

Abstract

Heavy metal pollution in aquatic system is becoming a serious problem worldwide. In this study

responses of

Sargassum thunbergii

different

concentrations (0

0.1

0.5

1.0 and 5.0 mg/L) of zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) exposure separately were studied for 15 days in laboratory-controlled conditions. The results show that the specific growth rates increased slightly under the lower Zn concentration treatment (0.1 mg/L) at the first 5 d and then decreased gradually

which were significantly reduced with the exposure time in higher Zn concentrations and all Cd treatments compared to respective control

especially for 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L Cd. Chlorophyll

contents showed significant increase in 0.1 mg/L Zn treatment

whereas the gradually reduction were observed in the other three Zn treatments and all Cd treatments. The oxygen evolution rate and respiration rate presented distinct behavior in the Zn-treated samples

but both declined steadily with the exposure time in Cd treatments. The P/R value analyses showed similar variation patterns as chlorophyll a contents. Real-time PCR showed that lower Zn concentration (0.1 mg/L) increased mRNA expression of

rbc

L gene

whereas higher Zn concentrations and Cd reduced the

rbc

L expression. Taken together

these findings strongly indicate that Zn and Cd had different effects on

S. thunbergii

both at the physiological and gene transcription levels

the transcript level of photosynthesis-related gene

rbc

L can be used as an useful molecular marker of algal growth and environment impacts.
