Sensitivity of Antarctic phytoplankton species to ocean acidification: Growth, carbon acquisition, and species interaction
Despite the fact that ocean acidification is considered to be especially pronounced in the Southern Ocean, little is known about CO 2 ‐dependent physiological processes and the interactions of Antarctic phytoplankton key species. We therefore studied the effects of CO 2 partial pressure (P CO2 ) (16...

Despite the fact that ocean acidification is considered to be especially pronounced in the Southern Ocean, little is known about CO 2 ‐dependent physiological processes and the interactions of Antarctic phytoplankton key species. We therefore studied the effects of CO 2 partial pressure (P CO2 ) (16.2, 39.5, and 101.3 Pa) on growth and photosynthetic carbon acquisition in the bloom‐forming species Chaetoceros debilis, Pseudo‐nitzschia subcurvata, Fragilariopsis kerguelensis, and Phaeocystis antarctica. Using membrane‐inlet mass spectrometry, photosynthetic O 2 evolution and inorganic carbon (C i ) fluxes were determined as a function of CO 2 concentration. Only the growth of C. debilis was enhanced under high P CO2 . Analysis of the carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) revealed the operation of very efficient CCMs (i.e., high C i affinities) in all species, but there were species‐specific differences in CO 2 ‐dependent regulation of individual CCM components (i.e., CO 2 and uptake kinetics, carbonic anhydrase activities).

For a better understanding of future changes in phytoplankton communities, CO 2 ‐sensitive physiological processes need to be identified, but also species interactions must be taken into account because their interplay determines the success of a species. |
