海洋生物固氮因可以支持初級生產(chǎn)所需的氮而在全球碳氮循環(huán)中具有重要作用。從二十世紀九十年代分子生物學和15N2同位素示蹤法應用于固氮研究領域以來, 逐漸發(fā)現(xiàn)了單細胞固氮藍藻和異養(yǎng)固氮細菌的重要性, 是近年來海洋固氮研究領域的最大進展之一, 表明以前基于束毛藻為主要固氮生物估算的固氮量可能低估了生物固氮在全球海洋生物地球化學循環(huán)中的地位。另一方面, 傳統(tǒng)的海洋生物固氮研究僅局限于熱帶亞熱帶的寡營養(yǎng)鹽區(qū)域, 對高營養(yǎng)鹽區(qū)域如上升流、河口等高營養(yǎng)鹽區(qū)域較少關注, 因此有必要對這些區(qū)域的生物固氮進行重新評估和再認識。綜述了國際固氮研究的最近進展, 主要包括固氮生物多樣性及分布特征、生物固氮的限制性因素、研究方法以及存在的問題。同時綜述了南海生物固氮方面的最新進展和問題。

0 前言

海洋固氮生物可以利用氮氣轉化為生物可利用氮, 這一過程叫作生物固氮, 每年固定的新氮(大約100—150 Tg)占全球氮輸出總量一半以上[1]。在貧營養(yǎng)環(huán)境中, 生物固氮固定的氮是上層海洋新氮的重要來源, 可以有效緩解上層海洋的氮限制[2]。同時, 對于二氧化碳的凈吸收也起著重要作用[3]。因此, 海洋生物固氮在海洋碳氮循環(huán)中發(fā)揮著重要作用, 是國際研究的熱點。

自1961年在馬尾藻海發(fā)現(xiàn)束毛藻可以固氮以來[4], 由于研究方法的限制, 人們一直認為束毛藻是最重要的海洋固氮生物。直到20世紀90年代分子生物學技術和15N2同位素標記法應用于海洋生物固氮研究, 在對固氮生物種類和分布的認識上取得了一系列突破性的進展, 每年發(fā)表的研究論文逐漸增加(圖1a, 表1)。如Zehr等(2001)發(fā)現(xiàn)了單細胞固氮藍藻在海洋生物固氮中也起著同樣重要的作用, 隨后也發(fā)現(xiàn)異養(yǎng)固氮細菌在某些海域固氮生物群落中占據(jù)優(yōu)勢[5–6], 拓展了人們對于固氮生物的認識[7]。盡管國際上海洋生物固氮相關的研究已經(jīng)相當多, 但是依然有很多問題尚待探究。相對而言, 中國邊緣海的海洋生物固氮研究薄弱, 直到2000年以后才逐漸有一些研究報道(圖1b), 研究的深度和廣度明顯落后于其他國家。本文在綜述國際上生物固氮領域的最新進展的同時, 以南海為例, 介紹了我國固氮研究的現(xiàn)狀和存在的問題, 期望為中國邊緣海固氮研究做參考。

1 海洋固氮生物多樣性

海洋固氮生物主要包括固氮藍藻和固氮異養(yǎng)細菌, 目前認為固氮藍藻是海洋中主要的固氮生物[1, 24], 包括絲狀固氮藍藻、共生固氮藍藻和單細胞固氮藍藻[25]。其中, 束毛藻(Trichodesmium spp.)是最常見且最重要的一類絲狀固氮藍藻[4, 26], 主要生活在水溫高于20℃的寡營養(yǎng)海域上層[27], 在24℃—30℃度之間最適合固氮, 易在海洋表層形成赤潮[26]。束毛藻固氮具有一定的節(jié)律性, 固氮發(fā)生在白天。目前發(fā)現(xiàn)的共生固氮藍藻主要有: 與根管藻(Rhizosolenia spp.)和半管藻(Hemiaulus spp.)共生的Richelia(分別為Het-1和Het-2), 以及與角毛藻(Chaetocerous)共生的Calothrix (Het-3)28–29], 這些固氮藍藻喜歡生活在營養(yǎng)豐富的近岸區(qū)域[7, 29-36]。單細胞固氮藍藻個體一般小于10μm, 在寡營養(yǎng)和富營養(yǎng)區(qū)域都有廣泛分布, 且在深水層仍有較高豐度, 其固氮量可達海洋固氮總量的30%—70%, 在某些區(qū)域超過束毛藻[37], 主要分為三個類群(UCYN-A, UCYN-B和UCYN-C)[15, 38–40]。UCYN-A尚未得到室內(nèi)培養(yǎng), 直徑小于1μm, 固氮發(fā)生在白天, 生長溫度范圍為15–30°C, 不能獨立進行光合作用[41], 與進行共生[42–43]; UCYN-B以可在室內(nèi)培養(yǎng)的為代表, 細胞呈球形, 直徑范圍為3—10μm, 可以獨立進行光合作用, 固氮一般在晚上進行, 最適生長溫度為22—36°C[15, 38, 44–45]; UCYN-C以可培養(yǎng)的為代表, 可以進行光合作用, 固氮也在晚上發(fā)生[46]。此外, 也發(fā)現(xiàn)一些異養(yǎng)細菌含有固氮基因(), 如α、β和γ變形菌等[6, 7, 47–50], 盡管在南太平洋、印度洋和南海北部區(qū)域報道了異養(yǎng)細菌是主要的固氮生物[5–6, 51–53],但是其固氮活性重要性尚無法判斷[7]。

表1 海洋生物固氮研究歷史中的重要事件

2 海洋生物固氮的影響因素

2.1 溫度、鹽度、光和氧氣

溫度可以影響固氮生物的生長和固氮, 因此影響著固氮生物的分布[54–55]。野外調(diào)查的結果表明, 束毛藻可以生活在20—30℃之間的海域, 最適溫度為25—30℃[26–27, 56–57]; 室內(nèi)培養(yǎng)實驗也表明, 20—34℃為束毛藻生長和固氮的溫度范圍, 最適范圍為24—30℃, 在27℃時最活躍[58]。單細胞固氮類群似乎更能耐受更低的溫度, 如可以生活在18—30℃[59], 在溫度較低區(qū)域也很常見[39–40]。另外, 鹽度也可以影響固氮生物生長和固氮, 束毛藻有較廣泛鹽度耐受性(22—43), 33—37是最適固氮鹽度區(qū)間[60]; 與共生固氮藍藻可以在較低的鹽度生存, 所以經(jīng)常在河口等近岸[29, 61]。

光可以影響固氮酶的活性, 同時也影響細胞的光合作用, 因此也能影響固氮生物的生長和固氮[62]。束毛藻一般在表層豐度較高, 因為其對光的需求較高, 光強增加可以促進固氮速率增加[63], 西太平洋的現(xiàn)場培養(yǎng)實驗表明束毛藻的光飽和強度在400 μmolquanta·m-2·s-1左右[64]; 室內(nèi)實驗也表明, 束毛藻在670 μmol quanta·m-2·s-1光照強度下還可以快速生長(生長速率可以達到0.49 d-1)[65]。光強對單細胞固氮藍藻同樣也具有一定的影響, 如室內(nèi)實驗表明Crocosphaera在180 μmol quanta·m-2·s-1光強下生長速率和固氮速率隨著光照強度增加而增加, 在300 μmol quanta·m-2·s-1光照條件下生長速率和固氮速率沒有受到明顯抑制[66]; 當溫度在14-30°C范圍內(nèi)時,在60 μmol quanta·m-2·s-1可以達到光飽和狀態(tài)[59]。另外, 光照周期也會對固氮藍藻造成影響, 12h光照/12h黑暗的光照周期條件下Cyanothece固氮速率最大, 延長或者縮短光照時間都明顯抑制固氮速率[67]。除了光強和光周期, 不同光譜也會影響固氮生物的生長, 室內(nèi)培養(yǎng)實驗表明紫外線可以抑制束毛藻生長和固氮, 但束毛藻在受到紫外線激發(fā)時產(chǎn)生類菌胞素氨基酸MAAs以減少紫外線的抑制作用[68]。

此外, 氧氣也能抑制固氮酶活性, 因此固氮生物采取多種機制來避免光合作用產(chǎn)生的氧氣對生物固氮的抑制[1, 69–70]。具有異形胞的絲狀固氮藍藻固氮作用發(fā)生在異形胞內(nèi)部, 異形胞是分化的細胞, 不能進行光合作用, 但是可以進行固氮作用, 這一特定分化的細胞使整個絲狀固氮藍藻的光合作用和固氮作用形成區(qū)域分割, 有效的避免了氧氣對固氮酶的抑制[26]。沒有異形胞的絲狀藍藻束毛藻, 也可以在白天進行固氮作用, 可能與其獨特的細胞結構或者固氮酶特征有關[26]。對于單細胞固氮藍藻, UCYN-A細胞營共生生活, 由于細胞缺乏光系統(tǒng)而不能進行光合作用, 因此在白天進行固氮[41]; 而對于UCYN-B和UCYN-C而言, 固氮光合作用在晚上發(fā)生, 以有效避免氧氣對固氮酶的抑制[15, 38, 44–46]。

2.2 營養(yǎng)元素

鐵參與固氮酶復合體的形成, 因此, 固氮生物對鐵的需求量要高于其他浮游植物[71]。在寡營養(yǎng)的大洋區(qū)域, 鐵主要來源于大氣沉降和水體的垂直或水平輸送, 大氣干濕沉降的鐵對上層水體的固氮生物生長和固氮起著至關重要的作用[72]。已經(jīng)在一些區(qū)域得到證實, 如南大西洋固氮速率與溶解性鐵成正相關而與磷負相關[73]; 在邊緣海也有鐵限制固氮生物的報道, 如在南海海盆區(qū)域, 盡管大氣沉降帶來大量鐵, 但依然存在缺乏配體而導致生物可利用鐵缺乏[74]; 基于原位分子生物學的結果也表明大西洋和太平洋一些區(qū)域鐵是束毛藻生長和固氮的限制性元素[75]。原位培養(yǎng)實驗也表明, 鐵是西北大西洋固氮生物,和固氮的限制性因素[76]。室內(nèi)培養(yǎng)實驗也發(fā)現(xiàn)鐵缺乏可抑制束毛藻固氮[77–79], 缺鐵也可以對生長和固氮產(chǎn)生不利影響[80–81]。

磷在參與細胞構建以及核酸、蛋白質等大分子物質合成、能量傳遞等方面起著重要作用, 同時也對固氮生物的生長和固氮等生理過程具有重要影響。很多原位觀測結果證實了這一結論, 如基于無機磷濃度的結果表明西北大西洋上層固氮生物生長可能受到磷限制[82]; 基于堿性磷酸酶和固氮速率的直接證據(jù)表明北大西洋海盆區(qū)域束毛藻生長受到磷限制[83]; 基于堿性磷酸酶、鐵結合蛋白基因和固氮速率的觀測結果表明西南大西洋生物固氮的限制性因子可能為磷[84]; 基于固氮速率和束毛藻豐度的結果表明南海瓊東上升流影響區(qū)域磷可能是生物固氮的限制性因子[85]。同時, 原位培養(yǎng)實驗的結果也證明了許多區(qū)域存在磷限制, 如波羅的海添加磷促進水體總固氮速率[86], 西南大西洋的實驗表明添加磷也有效促進了束毛藻的生長和固氮[84], 東北大西洋區(qū)域的現(xiàn)場加富實驗表明該區(qū)域磷是限制固氮生物,和固氮的主要因素[76]。為了適應磷匱乏的環(huán)境, 固氮生物進化了許多生存策略, 如束毛藻可以通過調(diào)節(jié)浮力在上層水柱進行垂直遷移獲得磷[87], 同時可以在環(huán)境磷濃度低時高表達高親和磷蛋白等相關基因以高效獲取磷, 此外, 束毛藻具有分解有機磷的相關基因如和家族基因, 通過高表達堿性磷酸酶等水解有機磷來滿足其生存[88]; UCYN-B也具有高親臨蛋白基因和分解有機磷相應的基因來應對磷缺乏[89–90]; 盡管UCYN-A基因組缺乏分解有機磷相關的基因和代謝途徑[43], 但是其能與單細胞藻類進行共生[42–43], 這種關系可以使UCYN-A在低磷環(huán)境中生存[76]。

此外, 某些區(qū)域也存在磷和鐵協(xié)同限制固氮生物生長的情況, 如北大西洋的現(xiàn)場加富實驗表明, 固氮作用受到磷和鐵的協(xié)同限制, 撒哈拉沙塵所攜帶的大量磷和鐵共同刺激了該海域的固氮作用[91], 北大西洋赤道附近區(qū)域的現(xiàn)場加富實驗也表明該區(qū)域磷和鐵可能是協(xié)同限制固氮生物,和固氮[76]。

盡管鉬也是固氮酶復合體的一個重要組成元素[92], 但在原位環(huán)境中報道鉬限制固氮生物生長的研究較少, 可能是因為自然海水中具有較高的鉬。此外, 溶解無機氮也會影響固氮生物固氮[1], 如束毛藻和也可以利用無機氮源, 但是固氮會被抑制[93–94]。另外, 也有研究表明環(huán)境中氮磷的比例也會對固氮造成一定影響[95–96]。

2.3 物理過程

2.3.1 中尺度渦

中尺度渦是一種重要的海洋動力學現(xiàn)象, 常見的中尺度渦旋分為三類, 氣旋冷渦(cyclonic eddy), 反氣旋暖渦(anticyclonic eddy)和模式水渦(Mode- water eddy), 其中冷渦一般導致中心水團向上涌升, 暖渦導致中心水團向下沉降, 模式水渦在一般導致中心水團上層涌升而下層沉降[97]。大量研究表明中尺度渦可以通過垂直輸運水團改變水體的理化特征和營養(yǎng)鹽等來影響浮游植物群落組成, 因而在全球碳循環(huán)中發(fā)揮著重要作用[98–99]。一方面, 中尺度渦可以通過物理混合作用影響固氮生物, 如水團混合導致束毛藻固氮酶活降低[100], 水體層化系數(shù)與束毛藻豐度負相關[101]。另一方面, 中尺度渦可以通過影響溫度、鹽度、營養(yǎng)鹽等環(huán)境因子來調(diào)控固氮生物的分布及其固氮(表2)。已有不少研究表明反氣旋渦可以促進固氮, 如北大西洋反氣旋渦內(nèi)束毛藻豐度較高[102–103], 北太平洋反氣旋渦內(nèi)固氮藍藻(spp.,和)的豐度及總固氮速率都高于臨近海域[104–105], 澳大利亞西海岸反氣旋渦內(nèi)固氮速率是氣旋渦內(nèi)的2.5倍[106], 地中海區(qū)域反氣旋渦內(nèi)固氮速率是臨近海域的10倍[107], 南太平洋的研究也表明反氣旋渦影響區(qū)域最大固氮速率出現(xiàn)在真光層以下, 且反氣旋渦刺激的固氮作用在向近岸區(qū)域輸送氮方面起著重要作用[108], 南海東北部暖渦區(qū)域固氮速率顯著高于臨近參考區(qū)域和冷渦區(qū)域, 同時UCYN-A和UCYN-B豐度較高[109]。相對而言, 冷渦區(qū)域的固氮報道的較少, 有限的結果表明冷渦也可以影響固氮, 如南太平洋的研究也表明, 氣旋渦影響區(qū)域固氮僅發(fā)生在表層[108], 南海東北部冷渦區(qū)域固氮速率和固氮藍藻豐度(UCYN-B 和Trichodesmium)低于臨近區(qū)域[109], 南海海盆區(qū)氣旋渦區(qū)域發(fā)現(xiàn)高豐度的固氮異養(yǎng)細菌[110]。這些研究表明中尺度渦可能在影響生物固氮方面起著重要作用, 同時可以明顯調(diào)控固氮對初級生產(chǎn)力所需氮的貢獻, 如南海東北部反氣旋渦可以顯著刺激生物固氮速率, 反氣旋渦內(nèi)固氮對初級生產(chǎn)力所需氮的貢獻率可以達到9%左右[109]。

2.3.2 上升流等高營養(yǎng)鹽區(qū)域生物固氮

沿岸上升流作為一種重要的中尺度物理現(xiàn)象, 其可以通過改變營養(yǎng)鹽和浮游植物群落結構而對海洋生態(tài)系統(tǒng)具有重要影響[113-114]。一般認為, 沿岸上升流區(qū)域不存在或具有較弱的生物固氮作用。首先, 沿岸上升流區(qū)域有較高的氨氮和硝氮, 固氮生物不會耗費大量能量固氮(固氮過程需要消耗大量能量)[115]; 其次, 固氮生物在與其他浮游植物生長競爭中也常處于劣勢地位[116]; 另外, 上升流區(qū)較低的溫度似乎也不適合喜高溫環(huán)境的固氮生物生長[1]。因此, 沿岸上升流區(qū)域的生物固氮研究一直沒有得到學者們的重視。然而, 隨后在如亞馬遜河口和湄公河口等高營養(yǎng)區(qū)域也發(fā)現(xiàn)較強的固氮作用[31, 61]。一般認為固氮生物喜歡在高溫高鹽寡營養(yǎng)鹽的低緯度地區(qū), 然而在上升流、河口及沖淡羽等富營養(yǎng)鹽海區(qū)也發(fā)現(xiàn)生物固氮相當活躍[18, 29, 31, 34–35, 40, 106, 116–121]。

盡管已有少量研究報道上升流對固氮生物及其固氮的影響, 然而, 對上升流區(qū)域的生物固氮分布模式及其形成機制的認識仍然十分有限。首先, 上升流區(qū)域是否存在生物固氮作用依然存在爭議, 如在南太平洋的本格拉(Benguela)上升流區(qū)域檢測到較高的固氮速率[25]; 但另外的研究認為, 該區(qū)域在上升流季節(jié)并不存在生物固氮現(xiàn)象, 原位培養(yǎng)實驗也證實了這一結論[120]。其次, 上升流對固氮生物生長及其固氮影響的機制存在爭議, 且固氮生物群結構落數(shù)據(jù)相對缺乏。生物固氮一般受到磷或鐵的限制, 上升流帶來的磷或鐵可以刺激固氮生物生長及其固氮, 如在越南沿岸上升流和湄公河帶來的大量磷和金屬使該區(qū)域出現(xiàn)高固氮速率, 但沒有直接檢測固氮生物群落結構[18]; 大西洋赤道上升流帶來的磷和鐵可以促進該區(qū)域的生物固氮, 推測單細胞固氮藍藻對該區(qū)域固氮具有明顯貢獻, 但也沒有直接檢測固氮生物類群[116]; 在南海的瓊東上升流區(qū)域, 相對較高的固氮速率可能與上升流帶來的磷和鐵有關[85]。另一些研究認為上升流區(qū)域出現(xiàn)高固氮速率可能與有機物質和低氧有關。如在南太平洋上升流區(qū)域, 400米處依然檢測到生物固氮作用, 且缺氧的次表層固氮速率是真光層的5倍之多, 在上層水體中沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)固氮藍藻, 卻存在大量異養(yǎng)固氮細菌, 低氧可能是該區(qū)域高固氮的重要因素[122]; 在東南太平洋的智利上升流區(qū)域, 低氧和有機物質可能是上升流區(qū)域出現(xiàn)固氮的主要因素, 同時浮游植物群落結構及其碳氮比也會影響固氮速率, 且異養(yǎng)固氮細菌對該區(qū)固氮起著重要作用[123]。這些結果表明上升流對生物固氮影響的機制尚不清楚, 值得繼續(xù)探究。

表2 中尺度渦對固氮生物群落結構和生物固氮速率影響的報道

3 海洋生物固氮的研究方法

早在1961年, Dugdale等就利用15N2示蹤培養(yǎng)法發(fā)現(xiàn)束毛藻具有固氮活性[4]。通過添加15N標記的氮氣, 利用元素同位素質譜儀檢測培養(yǎng)后的顆粒有機氮, 就能示蹤結合到顆粒有機氮的15N, 進而可以計算生物固氮速率。該方法靈敏度高, 是目前檢測海洋固氮速率的常用方法[13]。該方法最早通過向培養(yǎng)體系中直接添加15N同位素標記的氮氣來實現(xiàn), 被稱為氣泡法[13], 后來有研究表明氣泡法的結果可能低估了實際固氮速率[21, 124], 因此又發(fā)展出了海水添加法[125]。

Dilworth等在1966年發(fā)現(xiàn)固氮酶可以將乙炔還原為乙烯[9], 隨后Stewart等在1967年將乙炔還原法擴大應用于湖泊等野外環(huán)境中[8], 此后該方法一直沿用至今。該方法的原理為, 在同時存在乙炔和氮氣的情況下, 固氮酶優(yōu)先把乙炔還原為乙烯[9], 一般認為被還原的乙烯與被固定的氮氣存在固定的比例即3:1, 以此便可以估算出固氮速率[8]。但是該方法的也有一定的局限性[126], 因為不同環(huán)境下乙烯和氮氣之間的比值不盡相同[127]。

盡管同位素法和乙炔還原法可以有效的檢測環(huán)境中的總固氮速率, 但是隨著越來越多的固氮生物被發(fā)現(xiàn), 檢測環(huán)境中每個類群的固氮活性已經(jīng)成為迫切。自1989年Zehr等利用PCR技術首次擴增了束毛藻基因以來, 分子生物學方法逐漸應用到海洋生物固氮的研究中。固氮酶一般由含鐵還原酶(N2reducatse)和含鉬鐵固氮酶(N2dinitrogenase)組成, 分別由和基因編碼, 此外還有一些含釩離子的固氮酶[128], 其中基因序列高度保守, 功能信息比的更豐富, 且其表達受到時間、空間、光照和營養(yǎng)鹽影響, 因此序列是鑒定固氮生物物種及分析固氮活性的重要依據(jù)[129]。大部分固氮生物的拷貝數(shù)目相對穩(wěn)定, 可以基于的拷貝數(shù)來估算某一類群固氮生物的豐度和揭示固氮生物群落結構信息[40–41]。同時, 利用基因表達的水平可以推測某一類固氮生物類群的固氮活性。因此分子生物學方法是研究固氮生物群落結構及固氮活性的好方法[130], 尤其隨著定量PCR技術、二代測序技術、基因組、轉錄組和蛋白質組技術的發(fā)展, 基于海量數(shù)據(jù)的大數(shù)據(jù)分析可以得到更加全面豐富的信息, 以便于從基因水平上揭示固氮生物對環(huán)境的適應性機制, 該方法是目前研究固氮生物的重要方法。

分子生物學方法盡管可以檢測原位環(huán)境中固氮基因或者固氮基因表達量, 然而固氮基因表達量在某些情況下并不代表生物固氮的活躍程度, 因此仍然不能直接證明原位環(huán)境中的固氮量問題。熒光原位雜交-納米二次離子質譜技術(FISH-NanoSIMS), 即把熒光原位雜交技術與二次離子質譜技術聯(lián)用能夠實現(xiàn)在原位上同時觀察自然環(huán)境樣品中微生物的形態(tài)結構、種類分布及功能代謝信息[131]。近年來已經(jīng)普遍用于定量單細胞固氮速率和共生固氮固定氮轉移問題的研究中, 展現(xiàn)了研究原位環(huán)境固氮的強大優(yōu)勢[33, 42]。

4 南海生物固氮的研究現(xiàn)狀

南海大部分區(qū)域具有強層化、寡營養(yǎng)、溫暖和強大氣沉降的特征, 具有利于固氮生物生長的良好環(huán)境[25, 74]。氮是限制南海外海浮游植物生長的關鍵因子[132], 因此固氮對南海的碳氮生物地球化學循環(huán)具有重要作用。盡管南海生物固氮的研究起步較晚, 但近年來取得了一系列新成果。

在對固氮生物多樣性的認識上, 束毛藻是南海常見的固氮類群, 普遍分布于珠江口影響區(qū)域[133]、三亞灣[134]、大亞灣[135]、瓊東上升流區(qū)[85]、粵東上升流區(qū)[136]、湄公河河口和越南沿岸等近岸區(qū)域[18, 61, 137–138], 也在呂宋海峽及鄰近南海海盆[109, 139–141]和南沙島礁等離岸區(qū)域廣泛存在[142], 同時在某些區(qū)域如大亞灣[135, 143]和粵東沿岸區(qū)域[85]附近經(jīng)常發(fā)生束毛藻赤潮; 單細胞固氮藍藻UCYN-A和UCYN-B在南海東北部區(qū)域普遍存在[96, 109, 133, 141, 144], 在呂宋海峽區(qū)域附近也發(fā)現(xiàn)了較高豐度且對總固氮量的貢獻可達65%以上[145]; 在珠江口(Het-1)[133]、粵東上升流(Het-1)[96]和湄公河河口(Het-1和het-2)[18, 61, 138]等近海域存在與硅藻共生的固氮生物; 另外, 異養(yǎng)固氮細菌也廣泛存在于大亞灣、南海北部和海盆區(qū)域[109, 133, 146–149]。

相對于固氮生物的研究而言, 直接檢測固氮速率的研究相對較少[32]。已有發(fā)表的結果表明, 臺灣海峽為11—40 μmol N·m-2·d-1[150], 秋季南海東北部近岸區(qū)域表層固氮速率范圍為4—213 nmol N·m–3·h–1[143], 大亞灣四個季節(jié)固氮速率為0—4.51 nmol N·L-1·h-1[149], 夏季瓊東上升流區(qū)域為7.5—163 μmol N·m-2·d-1[85], 夏季粵東上升流區(qū)域為0—7.51 nmol N·L-1·d-1[136], 南海東北部海盆區(qū)四個季節(jié)固氮速率為2.4—168.1 μmol N·m-2·d-1, 夏季出現(xiàn)最高固氮速率, 其次為春季和秋季, 冬季固氮速率最低[101, 109]。湄公河河口固氮速率為5.05—22.77 nmol N·L-1·h-1[61], 越南沿岸區(qū)域固氮速率為1.9—190.6 μmol N·m-2·d-1[18]。

在固氮生物分布的區(qū)域上, 除了傳統(tǒng)上認為適合固氮生物生活的高溫高鹽寡營養(yǎng)鹽的低緯度區(qū)域發(fā)現(xiàn)固氮生物以外, 也在河口、上升流和海灣等高營養(yǎng)也存在較高豐度的固氮生物, 如在湄公河河口束毛藻和硅藻共生固氮藻(Het-1和Het-2)出現(xiàn)高豐度和高固氮量[61, 137–138]; 在珠江口影響區(qū)域, 束毛藻在靠近外海站位相對較多[133], 同時珠江口影響的局部區(qū)域發(fā)生束毛藻赤潮和高固氮速率[143]。在越南沿岸上升流區(qū)域, 且在季風期間固氮速率是季風轉換期間固氮速率的10倍左右[18]; 在瓊東上升流區(qū)域也發(fā)現(xiàn)活躍的生物固氮作用, 上升流帶來的鐵可能刺激該區(qū)域固氮, 且局部出現(xiàn)束毛藻赤潮[85]; 在粵東上升流, 也發(fā)現(xiàn)上升流影響區(qū)域存在活躍固氮能力, 同時發(fā)現(xiàn)大量固氮藍藻(束毛藻、UCYN-A和Het-1)[96]。同時, 在營養(yǎng)豐富的大亞灣等水域也經(jīng)常會發(fā)生固氮生物束毛藻赤潮現(xiàn)象, 如1987年8月大亞灣海域的發(fā)生大面積束毛藻赤潮; 2004年6月大亞灣灣口發(fā)生束毛藻赤潮, 呈黃褐色“彩帶”, 寬3海里、長8海里, 面積約為100平方公里[135]; 2007年深圳大鵬灣梅沙赤潮, 主要為漢氏束毛藻[151]; 2016年大亞灣灣外也檢測到肉眼可見的束毛藻赤潮, 同時實測固氮速率異常高[143]; 大亞灣開展的研究也同時表明大亞灣區(qū)域高營養(yǎng)區(qū)域并沒有限制固氮速率, 在某些區(qū)域反而出現(xiàn)較高固氮速率[149]。以上結果表明, 在高營養(yǎng)的近岸區(qū)域也會發(fā)生明顯生物固氮現(xiàn)象, 與以往固氮生物尤其固氮藍藻喜歡生活在貧乏營養(yǎng)狀況下的結論不一致, 值得深入探究。

在對固氮生物生長限制性因子的認識上, 相關研究較少且存在爭議。在南海海盆區(qū)盡管大氣沉降可以輸送充足的鐵, 但是由于鐵配體不足的致使生物可利用鐵濃度較低(溶解性鐵濃度僅0.2–0.3 nM), 推測固氮生物生長的限制性因子可能為鐵[74], 但是并沒有在該區(qū)域直接實驗證明, 盡管北部灣冬季灣口的現(xiàn)場加富培養(yǎng)實驗表明生物固氮作用可能受到鐵限制[152], 但是在南海北部區(qū)域基于痕量金屬潔凈技術采樣發(fā)現(xiàn)南海北部區(qū)域鐵較為充足(0.50 nM), 可能不會限制浮游生物的生長[153], 但是固氮生物生長對鐵的需求其實要高于其他浮游植物[71], 并不足以說明鐵不是限制因子?；浳鳝倴|上升流區(qū)域的研究則認為, 上升流帶來大量鐵, 而磷卻被浮游植物快速利用而缺乏, 最終該區(qū)域表現(xiàn)為磷限制[85]。

南海不同海域固氮作用對初級生產(chǎn)力所需氮的貢獻有很大差別, 如越南沿岸區(qū)域固氮可以支持初級生產(chǎn)力氮需求的0.1—8.2%[18, 154], 而湄公河河口區(qū)域貢獻率可達47%[61], 三亞灣束毛藻固氮量對初級生產(chǎn)氮貢獻率為0.03—1.63%[134], 而粵西瓊東上升流海區(qū)貢獻率僅為0.01—2.52%[85], 南海北部海盆區(qū)域暖渦影響區(qū)域該貢獻率最高可以達到9%[109]。

5 結論與展望

海洋生物固氮研究的發(fā)展與研究技術方法密切相關, 技術的突破是研究突破的基礎, 如從1961年束毛藻發(fā)現(xiàn)到1989年PCR技術應用于海洋固氮研究領域之間將近30年間, 海洋生物固氮的研究并沒有取得里程碑式的進展。然而, 二十世紀九十年代分子生物學和15N2同位素示蹤法應用于固氮研究領域, 取得了一些突破性進展。在空間分布方面, 生物固氮的研究從傳統(tǒng)上認為寡營養(yǎng)鹽的低緯度地區(qū)拓展到上升流、河口及海灣等富營養(yǎng)鹽海域[18, 29, 31, 34–35, 40, 106, 116–121], 從高溫高鹽的熱帶亞熱帶低緯度區(qū)域到高緯度寒冷海域[16, 155–156], 從海洋表層到上千米的深層和沉積物[40, 157]。在對固氮生物多樣性的認識方面, 從束毛藻到單細胞固氮藍藻的發(fā)現(xiàn)[15, 32, 34, 38–39, 40, 42, 106, 158–159], 再到發(fā)現(xiàn)異養(yǎng)固氮細菌的重要性[6–7, 48–50, 160–161]。這些發(fā)現(xiàn), 拓展了對固氮生物及其固氮的傳統(tǒng)認識, 表明以前基于大洋寡營養(yǎng)鹽區(qū)域束毛藻為主要固氮生物估算的固氮量可能低估了生物固氮在全球海洋生物地球化學循環(huán)中的地位[38–44]。

固氮作用與反硝化作用分別是海洋氮最重要的源與匯, 這兩個過程決定了海洋氮庫的收支平衡[162]。然而, 基于已發(fā)表的實測固氮速率的數(shù)據(jù)顯示, 海洋中反硝化速率超過固氮速率, 結合態(tài)氮的虧損速率高達近200 Tg N·yr-1[163]。但是, 基于模型和沉積物同位素的結果表明, 全球氮收支處于相對平衡狀態(tài)[164–165], 這就引起人們重新反思對全球海洋生物固氮的再認識, 是否過去的方法存在低估的情況[166]。首先, 在檢測方法上, 過去應用廣泛的15N2同位素示蹤氣泡方法比新的海水添加法低估了固氮速率[13, 21], 如在束毛藻為主要固氮者的海域, 該方法可能低估了62%的固氮速率, 而在單細胞固氮藍藻、共生固氮藍藻和異養(yǎng)固氮菌為主導的固氮生物群落結構中, 基于海水添加法的固氮量結果是氣泡法的6倍之多[124]?；跉馀莘ê秃Ｋ砑臃ǖ挠嬎闶澜绱笱蠊痰俾士梢詮脑裙烙嫷?03± 8Tg N·yr-1上升到177±8 Tg N·yr-1[124]。其次, 過去對全球海洋生物固氮量的估計都是基于已發(fā)現(xiàn)的大洋區(qū)域, 較少涉及到近岸如河口、上升流和海灣等高營養(yǎng)鹽區(qū)域, 高營養(yǎng)鹽區(qū)域如河口、上升流和沿岸區(qū)域是否具有一些曾被忽視的關鍵類群？以及適應這種環(huán)境的機制是什么？迫切需要用現(xiàn)代分子生物學方法繼續(xù)探究其機制, 有必要對這些區(qū)域的生物固氮進行重新評估和再認識。第三, 盡管發(fā)現(xiàn)了異養(yǎng)固氮細菌在某些區(qū)域占據(jù)優(yōu)勢地位[5, 6, 51–53], 但是其固氮活性至今并沒有進行有效的評估, 而且一般都不認為異養(yǎng)固氮細菌對固氮具有重要性[7]。相信隨著NanoSIMS技術的應用, 這一問題可能會得到一定程度的認知。同時, 近年來組學技術(基因組、轉錄組、蛋白質組和代謝組)也逐漸應用到海洋生物固氮領域, 可以從基因和代謝網(wǎng)絡水平上了解固氮生物與環(huán)境之間適應的內(nèi)在機制。

Marine nitrogen fixation plays an important role in the global carbon and nitrogen cycles because it can support the nitrogen required for primary production. The importance of unicellular nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria and heterotrophic nitrogen-fixing bacteria has gradually been known since the application of molecular biology and15N2isotope tracing in nitrogen fixation study in the 1990s. Firstly, it is suggested that the nitrogen fixation amount estimated based onmay beunderestimated. Secondly, traditional study of marine biological nitrogen fixation is limited to the tropical and subtropical oligotrophic regions, while less attention has been paid to high nutrient regions such as upwelling and estuaries. Therefore, it is necessary to re-evaluate and re-understand the nitrogen fixation in these regions. This article reviewed the recent progress of nitrogen fixation, including biodiversity and distribution of diazotrophs, limiting factors, methods, and existing question. In addition, the latest progress and question of nitrogen fixation in the South China Sea were also reviewed.
