Suspended particulate matter （SPM） collected in the Changjiang （Yangtze River） estuary in June 2006 was separated into five fractions via water elutriation： clay-very fme silt （〈8 μm）, fine silt （8-16 μm）, medium silt （16--32 μm）, coarse silt （32~53 μm） and sand （〉63 μm）. The SPM and fractionated particles were sequentially analyzed by a modified SEDEX sequential extraction method to obtain six species of phosphorus： exchangeable or loosely-sorbed P, organic P, Fe-bound P, authigenic P, detrital P and refractory P. The results indicated that all particulate phosphorus species except for detrital P were negatively correlated to particle size; a high detrital P content was found in coarse silt and very coarse silt. From the inside of the river mouth to the gate of the fiver mouth, organic P, Fe-bound P and refractory P in the suspended particles decreased and a higher amount of exchangeable P appeared around the gate of the fiver mouth. From the gate of the river mouth to the sea, exchangeable P and organic P in suspended panicles increased distinctly. The total particulate P flux into the estuary from the Changjiang River was about 45.45×10^8μmol/s during sampling. Of this, about 8.27×10^8μmol/s was associated with the ＂truly suspended＂ fraction. The bio-available particulate P flux was about 13.58×10^8μmol/s. Of this, about 4.24 ×10^8μmol/s w as transported by ＂truly suspended＂ particles.
采用3对特异性引物,对中国近海常见3种原甲藻的18S rDNA的部分序列进行PCR扩增,运用变性梯度凝胶电泳技术(Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis,DGGE)对PCR产物进行了差异性分析。结果表明,各对引物具有不同的区分效果,选择包含较多差异碱基的短片段进行扩增,可以对藻种进行更好的区分;PCR-DGGE技术具有较高的灵敏性,不同藻种间即使1个碱基的差异也可以区分开;PCR-DGGE技术可以对3种原甲藻进行区分。
