The results of correlation matrix analyzing showed that the surge uptake of ammonium seemed related to rapid changes in small intracellular pools of inorganic nitrogen or small peptide and amino acids rather than to changes in TN content of the macroalgae. The assimilation rates of nitrogen of U. pertusa and G. tenuistipitata increased slowly during N starvation and were mainly regulated by amino acids and some incorporation of amino acids into macromolecules. From ecological point of view, the fast growing and uptaking nutrient U. pertusa is more suitable to improve water quality in integrated shrimp culture ponds in which external nutrient supplies are usually high and constant during the culture period, while G. tenuistipitata var. liui is more suitable to be polycultured in a waters with intermittence supply of nutrients.展开更多

After 10 days of ammonium enrichment, ammonium NH4,+ free amino acid (FAA), protein (pro), chlorophyll (Chi), phycoerythrin (PE) and total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) of the two macroalgae increased significantly. Total nitrogen (TN) increased significantly from 3.65% to 5.78% dry weight of G. tenuistipitata var. liui and 2.82% to 5.07% dw of U. pertusa, respectively. Protein and FAA were the most important N storage pools in the macroalgae. During N-starvation period, individual N pools of the two species were depleted at exponential rates. Each N pool in U. pertusa decreased more rapidly than in G. tenuistipitata, var. liui and the latter was able to sustain fast growth for more time ( > 20 days) than U. pertusa. N demands for supporting growth were different between the two species, U. pertusa grew more rapidly and had higher N demands than G. tenuistipitata var. liui did.展开更多
