Abstract

Effects of artificial and solar W-B radiation on five rhodophytes (Curdiea racovitzae, Gigaytina skottsbergii, Mazzaella obovata, Myriogramme manginii, Palmaria decipiens) from Antarctica have been investigated using PAM fluorescence in laboratory and in the field. Laboratory studies showed that there were significant differences in the UV sensitivity between different species, and that the differences appeared to be correlated with the depth of collection of the specimens. It was apparent from the observations that the samples such as M. manginii and P. decipiens collected from 20-30 m depths were move sensitive to W-B radiation compared with those collected from shallower depths, The present study confirmed that an acclimation to the surrounding light regime could be an important factor to determine the UV-sensitivity of a species or individuals and that PAM measurements are rapid and non-destructive methods to evaluate UV influences. From field studies on M. manginii and P. decipiens it was observed that both plants exhibited changes in the effective quantum yield, with the minimum values nt noon followed by n recovery in the evening. Photoinhibition occurred in these species could therefore be accounted for by so- called dynamic photoinhibition. It seems likely that this protective mechanism may contribute to survival of the species in shallow water where they may encounter intense solar radiation. The presence or absence of the W- B component under solar radiation differently affected the photosynthetic recovery process, and the rate of recovery was much stoney in UV- present than in W- absent conditions. Functional role of W- B appears to delay the recovery of photosynthesis in the studied macroalgae. Differential sensitivity to UV-B recognised between M. manginii and P. decipiens seemed to correspond well with the amount of UV-absorbing substances (UVAS) contained in the respective species. Higher tolerance to solar radiation by the latter species may be due to the higher amount of UVAS. There were variations of UVAS concentrations in algal thalli depending on the season and depth of collection.

남극에 생육하는 5종의 홍조류(Curdiea racouitzae, Gigartina skottsbergii, Mazzaella obovata, Myriogramme manginii, Palmaria decipiens)를 대상으로 인공 중파 자외선과 태양광선에 대한 종별 생리적 반응을 광합성이라는 파라미터를 사용하여 조사 연구하였다. 실험실연구 결과, 종간에 중파 자외선에 대한 내성 차이가 확인되었으며 이러한 차이는 각 종들이 채집되기 전에 서식하고 있었던 수심과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있어서 20-30m의 수심에서 채집된 M. manginii와 P. decipiens의 자외선 내성이 다른 종들에 비하여 작게 나왔다. 본 연구 결과는 서식지 주변의 광환경이 해조류의 자외선 내성을 결정해 주는 한 요인이라는 가설을 입증해주었을 뿐 아니라 형광 변화를 이용한 광합성 측정법은 자외선 내성을 타진하는데 있어서 매우 신속하고 비파괴적인 방법으로 이용될 수 있음을 입증하였다. 두 종의 흥조류(M. manginii, P. decipiens)를 대상으로 태양광선 하에서의 광합성 효율을 관찰한 결과, 정오에 최저 광합성을 보인 반면 저녁에는 광합성 능력이 회복되는 현상을 나타내었다. 이같은 동적인 광저해 현상(dynamic photoinhibition)은 일종의 광적응 능력으로서 식물이 비교적 강한 태양광선에 노출된 지역에 성공적으로 서식하는데 크게 기여하는 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 또한 태양광선내 중파자외선 포함 유무에 따라 광합성 회복 속도에 차이가 나는 것을 볼 수 있었는데 중파자외선이 포함된 태양 광선 하에서는 광합성의 회복이 느린 반면, 중파 자외선이 제거된 조건에서는 광합성이 비교적 빨리 회복되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고 이는 중파 자외선이 광합성 회복 기작을 지연시키는 작용을 한 것으로 해석될 수 있다. 야외에서 자외선 민감성을 비교한 결과, P. decipiens가 M. manginii에 비하여 자외선 내성이 큰 것으로 나타났는데, 두 종 공히 조간대로부터 조하대 상부까지 서식하는 종임에도 불구하고 이러한 내성차이를 보인 이유는 자외선 흡수물질의 정량적인 차이에 기인한다고 할 수 있다. M. manginii와 P decipiens에서 발견된 자외선 흡수물질의 양은 약 1:2 정도의 비율을 보였는데 이러한 정량적 차이가 자외선 민감성에 기여한 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 또한 계절별 그리고 채집 수심별로 자외선 흡수물질의 정량적 차이를 발견할 수 있었는데 태양광선이 풍부한 여름철에 그리고 고광량이 도달되는 수심 얕은 곳에 서식하는 개체가 더욱 많은 양의 자외선 흡수물질을 함유한 것으로 나타났다.
