摘要: For the purpose of indoor mass culture of seedlings of Sargassum hemiphyllum during spring and summer, a series of experiments were designed to evaluate nitrogen (N) uptake, growth performance, and N accumulation of seedlings. Transient uptake rates by N-limited seedlings for nitrate (NO3 (-)), ammonium (NH4 (+)), and urea were more rapid than uptake rates by N-replete seedlings. NO3 (-) uptake revealed a rate-saturating uptake kinetic for both N-limited and N-replete seedlings. Uptake rates of NH4 (+) and urea for N-limited seedlings were linear, whereas the N-replete seedlings displayed Michaelis-Menten curves. The slope of the linear models or equivalently affinity calculated from Michaelis-Menten curves was highest for NH4 (+) and lowest for urea, indicating that seedlings were more efficient at taking up NH4 (+). Tissue N content in seedling increased with increasing N concentrations, with the highest values with all three N sources at 150 mu M. The N requirement to support maximum growth varied 2.2-fold from 0.39 +/- 0.15% dry weight (DW) in NH4 (+) to 0.84 +/- 0.09% DW in NO3 (-), and hence, seedlings became more easily N limited at low NO3 (-) availability. The results showed that seedlings cultured in NO3 (-) enrichment (50-100 mu M) may be better able to meet their maximum growth than at high NH4 (+) availability, although seedlings have higher NH4 (+) uptake capacities.
