Photoinhibition and UV Response in the Aquatic Environment

  • Chapter
Photoprotection, Photoinhibition, Gene Regulation, and Environment

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 21))

Summary

This chapter summarizes the effects of excessive solar radiation on aquatic primary producers with an emphasis on macroalgae. The introductory paragraphs deal with the aquatic environment and the specific implications for sessile algae and their vertical distribution on the coast. Macroalgae are exposed to dramatically changing irradiances and complicated light patterns governed by the diel solar cycle, the tidal rhythm, and changing cloud cover. The following sections concentrate on the phenomenon of photoinhibition with specific reference to in situ measurements with as little disturbance of the specimens on site as possible. Despite its low percentage contribution in solar radiation, short wavelength ultraviolet is a major component in photoinhibition of algae in their natural habitat. Fast kinetics of fluorescence parameters demonstrates the rapid adaptation of the organisms to their changing photic environment. Early developmental stages are more prone to inhibitory effects of excessive solar radiation. Pigment bleaching and resynthesis are important consequences of solar exposure. Macroalgae have developed several strategies for protection against excessive light stress.UV-absorbing substances,which they share with cyanobacteria and phytoplankton, limit the amount of UV photons reaching the photosynthetic apparatus and the nucleus. They include carotenoids, mycosporine-like amino acids, as well as several chemically not yet identified substances. In addition, the fast turnover of the D1 protein in photosystem II allows rapid recovery from photoinhibition.
