英文摘要	Chinese 973 Project [2009CB421207]; National Natural Science Foundation of China [41276148, 41076094]; Temperature effects on photosynthesis and respiration were investigated in the green macroalga, Ulva conglobata, collected from low rocky coast of Nanao Island, Shantou, China. Thalli were cultured at 15 and 25 degrees C and at low nitrogen (LN) and high nitrogen (HN) availability. Dark respiration and light-saturating photosynthesis were measured as oxygen exchange; the characteristics of chlorophyll fluorescence were also assayed. The maximal photochemical yield (F-v/F-m) and maximum relative electron transport rates (rETR(max)) remained stable with moderate fluctuations of temperature (15-30 degrees C) in the short term. However, the values of F-v/F-m and rETR(max) declined with the high temperature (>= 35 degrees C), and such a decline was more accentuated in 15 degrees C- than 25 degrees C-grown algae. Both the rates of photosynthesis and respiration were sensitive to measurement temperature, with the Q(10) values being higher in 25 degrees C-grown algae (HN) than 15 degrees C-grown algae. It appeared that 25 degrees C-grown algae displayed an optimum temperature (T-opt) of 30 degrees C for photosynthesis, while 15 degrees C-grown algae exhibited the T-opt of a range of 20-30 degrees C. When measured at their respective growth temperature, the rates of photosynthesis were significant higher in 25 degrees C-than 15 degrees C-grown algae, while the rates of respiration were identical between 25 degrees C- and 15 degrees C-grown algae. Our results demonstrated that respiration displayed full acclimation; whereas, photosynthesis exhibited partial acclimation to changing growth temperatures in U. conglobata. Consequently, the balance between respiration and gross photosynthesis was re-established by changing growth temperature, with the ratio being lowered with warmer growth temperature. The results also showed that HN availability in culture significantly increased pigments and soluble protein contents and enhanced photosynthesis and respiration. We suggested that the acclimation potential of metabolisms in U. conglobata favored carbon acquisition and net carbon balance with the increasing seawater temperature resulting from climate change and/or increasing N loading from coastal eutrophication.
