The results of algological researches of the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute for the period from 2015 till 2019 are presented with the following achievements. Analysis of the expeditionary samples revealed 79 species of algae macrophyte, rarely found at the Murman coast, among them 10 species were Chlorophyta, 33 –Phaeophyceae, 36 –Rhodophyta. A significant increase of the occurrence (presence) of Ulva lactuca L.at the Murmansk coast of the Barents Sea in 2009–2019 was noted, due to positive climatic anomalies caused by an increase of the influx of the Atlantic waters. It has been shown for the first time that the various morphological forms of the brown alga Fucus distichuslived on the littoral of the Murmansk coast of the Barents Sea are genetically homogeneous. The morphology of embryogenesis, early ontogenesis of F. distichusis described. It was determined that hydrostatic pressure (from 4 atm) negatively affects the development of spores of Alaria esculentaand Palmaria palmata, and can determine the lower boundary of algae growth. It was shown that a change in the activity of enzymes of the antioxidant system P. palmata: (catalase and superoxide dismutase) depending on the temperature of the environment) is one of the mechanisms of adaptation of algae to growth in the tidal zone and seasonal temperature fluctuations. There were revealed the negative effect of the red algae P. palmataon the growth of F. distichus, F. serratusand the positive effect of Fucus on the growth of P. palmata. A change in the seasonal concentration of 4 B vitamins was determined (riboflavin, pantothenic acid, nicotinic acid and pyridoxine) of P. palmata. Isolated vitamins take part in spore formation and can act as antioxidants. An electron microscopic analysis of the “young” multicellular sporophytes of Saccharina latissimarevealed the presence in cells of a developed photosynthetic reticulum, and a high partial mass of mitochondria, energy structures that apparently provide an intensive process of cell division at this stage of ontogenesis. The participation of florotannins in the regeneration of thallus of Fucus algae was demonstrated. The data on the quantitative and qualitative composition of cultivated and uncultivated epiphytic bacteria of Fucus algae from clean and oil polluted areas of coastal waters of the Barents Sea have been obtained.For the first time, the evidence base presents that morphologically and systematically various macrophyte algae, differing in structure and systematic affiliation, possess in their ability to form a symbiotic association with hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria, they show a pronounced ability to sorb and to destruct the oil products, which determines their significant role in bioremediation of coastal waters. |
