Qualitative Changes

The effect of additions of the gamma-isomer of benzene hexachloride (gamma-BHC) upon algal populations in two submerged tropical rice soils was studied. Additions of the insecticide to the floodwaters of the soils at 5, 6, and 50 kg/ha active compound resulted in a marked stimulation of growth of the indigenous algae. The stimulation was attributed to the elimination by the insecticide of small animals which feed on the algae. No detrimental effect upon total algal populations was found when gamma-BHC was applied at 50 kg/ha, which is 10 times the rate recommended to control the rice stem borer. Qualitative changes were detected in the incidence of major algal groups. Blue-green algae were more abundant in treated soils whereas the green algae and diatoms were more abundant in the untreated soils. Much larger amounts of algal tissue were produced in the floodwaters treated with gamma-BHC. The possible effects of increased algal development on the fertility of the soil and the persistence of gamma-BHC in submerged soils are discussed.

Cellular Components

Electron microscopic observations of freeze-fracture replicas of Anabaena cells obtained by the procedures described by Bullivant and Ames (J. Cell Biol., 1966) indicate that the frozen cells are fractured in many different planes. This fracturing or cleaving along various planes allows one to gain a three dimensional relation of the cellular components as a result of such a manipulation. When replicas that are obtained by the freeze-fracture method are observed in the electron microscope, cross fractures of the cell wall and membranes that comprise the photosynthetic lamellae are apparent as demonstrated in Figures 1 & 2.A large portion of the Anabaena cell is composed of undulating layers of cytoplasm that are bounded by unit membranes that comprise the photosynthetic membranes. The adjoining layers of cytoplasm are closely apposed to each other to form the photosynthetic lamellae. Occassionally the adjacent layers of cytoplasm are separated by an interspace that may vary in widths of up to several 100 mu to form intralamellar vesicles.

The Relationship

Musty odor has occurred annually in Lake Biwa since 1969. Osaka municipal waterworks, which is located downstream of Lake Biwa, has made many efforts to treat musty-odor compounds produced in Lake Biwa from spring through autumn. With the development of analytical methods for the determination of musty-odor compounds, we have been able to confirm that planktonic blue-green algae are the major causes of the musty-odor occurrences. The relationship between the growth of blue-green algae and the water quality was not so apparent. However, through our data analysis focusing on the relationship between musty-odor occurrences due to Phormidium tenue or Oscillatoria tenuis and some nutrients in Lake Biwa, we found that the concentration of nitrate in water may be an important parameter for the estimation of growth of the algae and the musty-odor behavior.
