Effect of long-term high CO2 environment on gene expression of Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: P. tricornutum (Bacillariophyta, Pennatae, NEPCC640) was obtained from the Algal Center of the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The cells were cultured in a modified f/2 medium (Guillard, 1975) at 20 +/- 1C, and illuminated with 120 umol photon m-2 s-1 under a 12:12 light: dark cycle. Flasks were shaken by the researchers twice a day at the fixed times. Experiments were conducted in triplicate in 3L sterilized and acid-washed Erlenmeyer flask containing 2L medium. The equipment used in this study is similar to the ones used in previous ocean acidification research (Fu et al., 2007; Hutchins et al., 2007; Wu et al., 2010). Prior to inoculation, the mediums were treated by different CO2 concentrations. The low CO2 medium was bubbled with ambient air of about 400 ppmv (low CO2, LC) and the high CO2 medium was bubbled with pre-mixed air-CO2 mixtures (1000 ppmv; high CO2, HC) from a plant growth CO2 chamber (HP400G-D, Ruihua Instrument & Equipment Ltd, Wuhan, China) with a variation of less than 5%. Semi-continuous cultures were used to maintain the pH stability during P. tricornutum growth in the present study, All the cultures were diluted to 1x104 cells mL-1 with fresh medium and pre-acclimated to the desired CO2 level every 24 h to maintain an exponential growth phase and minimize pH fluctuations of the cells. Cultures were harvested after 8 months of semi-continuous incubation. Significant differences between the carbonate systems in different cultures.
