    Description / Table of Contents: Die Organismen der Binnengewässer und deren Wechselwirkungen mit der Umwelt dienen hier als Modell zur Darlegung der Hauptprobleme in der wissenschaftlichen Ökologie von Gemeinschaften und Systemen: Wesentlichstes didaktisches Ziel ist die Verdeutlichung ökologischer Tatbestände als Teile einer experimentellen und theoretischen Wissenschaft auf der Grundlage einer mechanistischen und darwinistischen Auffassung. Strukturen und Vorgänge in den höheren hierarchischen Rängen (Gemeinschaften und Ökosysteme) werden als Ergebnis der Aktivitäten von Organismen verstanden - in einem Kompromiß zwischen dem Erwerb von Ressourcen und der Verminderung der Sterblichkeit.

    Notes: Summary Different initial mixtures of phyto-and zooplankton from different lakes were grown under identical chemical and physical conditions in medium size (8-and 12–1) laboratory microcosm cultures until convergence of phytoplankton species composition was attained. Five such experiments with four (four experiments) or three (one experiment) microcosm cultures were run. Three experiments were performed with weak stirring which permitted sedimentary elimination of the diatoms. Two experiments were conducted with stronger stirring to prevent sedimentation. In the three “sedimentation intensive” experiments, the final phytoplankton community was composed of the filamentous chlorophyte Mougeotia thylespora together with a smaller biomass of nanoplanktic algae. In the two “sedimentation free” experiments the final phytoplankton community consisted of pennate diatoms. Both dissolved nutrient concentrations and the chemical composition of biomass suggested strong nutrient limitation of algal growth rates in the final phase of the experiments. The zooplankton communities at the end of the experiments were composed of species that were apparently unable to ingest the large, dominant algae and that presumably fed on the nanoplanktic “undergrowth” and the bacteria. There was a distinct sequence of events in all experiments: first, the large zooplankton species (Daphnia and Copepoda) were replaced by smaller ones (Chydorus, Bosmina, rotifers); second, all cultures within one experiment developed the same nutritional status (limitation by the same nutrient); and third, the taxonomic composition of phytoplankton of the different cultures within one experiment converged. The last took 7–9 weeks, with is about 2–3 times as long as the time needed in a phytoplankton competition experiment to reach the final outcome.

    Notes: Abstract In Lake Constance, after several decades of cutrophication, a decrease in phosphorus loading over the last decade has lead to a partial recovery from eutrophication. Here we analyse the shift in the taxonomic composition of phytoplankton during the first decade of oligotrophication in Lake Constance. During the 1980s, spring total P concentrations decreased from ca. 130 to less than 50 μ·l−1. This decrease was reflected by an approximately proportional decrease in summer phytoplankton biomass while spring phytoplankton biomass seemed unresponsive. Major taxonomic changes occured during both growth seasons. In spring, the proportion of diatoms, green algae and Chrysophyta increased while the proportion of Cryptophyta decreased. The summer trend was very different: the relative importance of diatoms decreased and Cryptophyta and Chrysophyta increased, while Chlorophyta reached their peak around 1985. These trends are also analysed at the genus level. Comparison with taxonomic trends during the eutrophication period shows the expected reversals in most cases. Comparison with other lakes shows general similarities, with the notable exception that Planktothrix rubescens has never been important in Lake Constance. The increase of diatoms during spring is attributed to their improved competitive performance with increasing Si:P ratios. Their decrease during summer is explained by the increasing silicate removal from the epilimnion by increasing spring populations.

    Notes: Abstract Phytoplankton diversity was studied in two North German lakes of comparable nutrient chemistry but different exposure to winds. In both lakes, phytoplankton was primarily N-limited but diatoms were Si-limited. Plußsee had a very constant mixing depth during summer, while week-to-week changes of several meters were quite common in the more exposed Behler See. In Plußsee, phytoplankton biomass during summer came closer to the carrying capacity as defined by the available total N. In Plußsee there was a marked decline of diversity during the summer maximum of biomass, while this decline was less pronounced in Behler See. It is concluded that disturbances which prevented phytoplankton from reaching the carrying capacity also maintained a high level of diversity. A negative response of diversity to undisturbed conditions became apparent, after phytoplankton biomass had exceeded about 5% of the carrying capacity.

    Notes: Kc-cells from Drosophila produce two different β-D-hexosaminidases, a β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (E.C.3.2.1.30) and a β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase (E.C.3.2.1.52), which are also secreted into the medium. The Mr of both enzymes is about 126,000 ± 9,700; the S-values are 8.37 ± 0.44. Both enzymes have about the same pH optima at 5.5 and the same thermal stability. The temperature optima are identical (50°C) for both enzymes if p-nitrophenyl-N-acetylglucosaminide is used as a substrate. However, when p-nitrophenyl-N-acetylgalactoseaminide is used as the substrate the β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase has a temperature optimum about 10°C higher. With higher salt concentrations, the activity of the β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase increases, whereas β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase is inhibited. Both enzymes also differ in their sensitivity to urea, the β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase being less sensitive than the β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase.

    Notes: Kc-cells from Drosophila melanogaster, grown under serum-free conditions, produce two β-hexosaminidases and secrete these enzymes into the medium. The two enzymes were separated by DEAE-exchange chromatography. According to their substrate specificities one enzyme is a β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (E.C.3.2.1.30), the other one a β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase (E.C.3.2.1.52). The β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase is predominant in the medium, the β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase within the cells. The Km values for the substrates pNP-GlcNAc, pNP-GalNAc, and (GlcNAc)2 are 0.8, 16.73, and 1.67 mM for the β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase and 0.24, 0.44, and 0.2 mM for the β-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase. Both enzymes are inhibited by the products and the β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase is also inhibited stereospecifically by the substrates pNP-GlcNAc and (GlcNAc)2. Both enzymes are inhibited in a partial competitive way by acetamidolactones, the Kis being as low as 0.1 μM.
