It has been shown that some aerobic, unicellular, diazotrophic cyanobacteria temporally separate photosynthetic O2 evolution and oxygen-sensitive N2 fixation. Cyanothece sp. ATCC strain 51142 is an cyanobacterium fixes during discrete periods of its cell cycle. When the bacteria are maintained under diurnal light-dark cycles, fixation occurs in dark. Similar cycling observed continuous light, implicating a circadian rhythm. Under N2-fixing conditions, large inclusion granules form between...
Abstract There have been many individual phytoplankton datasets collected across Australia since the mid 1900s, but most are unavailable to research community. We searched archives, contacted researchers, and scanned primary grey literature collate 3,621,847 records of marine species from Australian waters 1844 present. Many these small for local questions, combined they provide over 170 years data on communities in waters. Units taxonomy standardised, obviously erroneous removed, all...
Abstract Chlorophyll a is the most commonly used indicator of phytoplankton biomass in marine environment. It relatively simple and cost effective to measure when compared abundance thus routinely included many surveys. Here we collate 173, 333 records chlorophyll collected since 1965 from Australian waters gathered researchers on regular coastal monitoring surveys ocean voyages into single repository. This dataset includes values as measured samples analysed using spectrophotometry,...
Abstract The dominant seagrass in Port Phillip Bay (PPB), Australia, Zostera nigricaulis , declined between 2000 and 2011, coinciding with the ‘Millennium drought’ that ended 2009. These seagrasses are nitrogen-limited, underpinning need to develop nitrogen budgets for better ecosystem management. Environmentally realistic measurements of specific uptake rates resource allocation were undertaken test hypothesis above-ground below-ground compartments able re-mobilise ammonium nitrate through...
We sampled the demersal fish community of Bonney Canyon, South Australia at depths (100–1,500 m) and locations that are poorly known. Seventy-eight species were obtained from 12 depth-stratified trawls along, to either side, central canyon axis. Distributional patterns in richness biomass highly correlated. Three assemblage groupings, characterised by small suites with narrow depth distributions, identified on shelf, upper slope mid slope. The groupings largely explained (ρw = 0.78)....
