    Notes: Abstract Phytoplankton growth in the shallow, turbid Lake Loosdrecht (The Netherlands) is importantly influenced by light availability, and thus the concentrations of the various light-attenuating materials. The system is highly eutrophic and supports an algal biomass of ca. 160 mg Chl m−3. A model is proposed here which predicts algal growth in the lake as a function of the light received and subsequent attenuation in the water column by phytoplankton, tripton and background colour. The model is based on an energy balance which relates growth rate to the ‘true’ growth yield on light energy and the energy demand for cell maintenance. The coefficients for energy conversion (Y = 0.002 gDW kJ−1) and cell maintenance (µe = 0.031 day−1) were determined from steady state growth kinetics of Prochlorothrix hollandica in light-limited laboratory flow systems with the same depth as the lake and receiving summer average conditions of irradiance. Light attenuation by phytoplankton and tripton were quantified using specific attenuation coefficients: 0.011 m2 mg−1 Chl for the phytoplankton and 0.23 m2 g−1 DW for tripton. The growth studies demonstrated that Lake Loosdrecht can support a much higher algal biomass in the absence of non-algal particulate matter. The proposed model is used to predict chlorophyll a concentrations in dependence on growth rate and levels of tripton. Since approximately 75% of the sestonic dry weight in Lake Loosdrecht may be attributed to tripton, it is concluded that the algal biomass is markedly lowered by the abundance of tripton in the water column. A knowledge of the sources and fate of tripton in the lake is thus of fundamental importance in modelling phytoplankton dynamics.

    Algal growth and loss rates in Lake Loosdrecht: first evaluation of the roles of light and wind on a basis of steady state kinetics (1990)

    Notes: Abstract Lake Loosdrecht (The Netherlands) is shallow, highly eutrophic and subject to frequent wind-induced resuspension of settled algae and detritus. The summer phytoplankton consists of filamentous prokaryotic species. Chlorophyll a levels are rather stable over the summer at a concentration of ca. 160 mg m−3; losses due to grazing and sinking are small. Epipelic chlorophyll a concentrations range from 0 to 250, but ca. 50 mg m−2 is typical. In situ rates of change of chlorophyll a in the water column were related to specific growth rates predicted by a model for light-limited growth. In the model, incident light is partitioned among algae, tripton and background colour, to determine the light available for algal growth and cell maintenance. Model coefficients were derived primarily from laboratory studies of the growth of Prochlorothrix hollandica, an abundant species in the lake in summer. Presuming constant rates of loss due to grazing and sinking, for summers 1985 and 1986 some 56% of the variation in the chlorophyll a in the lake water was explained by change in light conditions alone and 77% by light and wind-driven resuspension of epipelic chlorophyll a together. These factors had little influence on the phytoplankton biomass in 1983 and 1984; other environmental conditions, e.g. phosphorus availability, may have been important. Also, the laboratory-derived growth kinetics of P. hollandica may not have been equally suitable for modelling in the four summers.

    Molecular dynamics simulation of the stability of a 22-residue α-helix in water and 30% trifluoroethanol (1993)

    Notes: A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed on the α-helix H8-HC5, the C-terminal part of myoglobin (residue 132-153), under periodic boundary conditions in two different solutions, water and water with 30% (v/v) 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE), at 300 K to investigate the stability of the helix. In both simulations, the initial configuration was a canonical right-handed α-helix. In the course of the MD trajectory in water (200 ps), the helix clearly destabilized and began to unfold after 100 ps. In the TFE solution, two stable parts of helical regions were observed after 70 ps of a 200-ps MD simulation, supporting the notion that TFE acts as a structure-forming solvent. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Molecular proximity of cis/trans mixtures of 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-bis[2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]benzene (MPV, 1) and polystyrene (PS) in mixtures of different MPV/PS weight ratios up to 60/40 is shown by 1H combined rotation and multiple pulse spectroscopy (CRAMPS) using 2D exchange experiments. The MPV/PS mixtures up to a weight ratio 60/40 are homogeneous, whereas the mixture with a weight ratio MPV/PS = 80/20 is heterogeneous. The comparison of the cross polarization/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) 13C NMR spectra of pure MPV and of MPV mixed with PS shows significant linebroadening in case of intimate mixing, while the heterogeneous mixture shows some extra finestructure. The miscibility results were confirmed by proton spin-locking relaxation time measurements (T1ρH) on the mixtures. On intimate mixing, T1ρH is averaged out and varies linearly as a function of the composition of the mixture. CRAMPS-spectra and T1ρH measurements show that iodine-doped MPV/PS mixtures (weight ratios 40/60 and 60/40) are heterogeneous. Furthermore, doping causes a slight proton chemical shift change and reduces the T1ρH-values of those oligomer-polymer systems.
