摘　　要：海洋浮游藻类除通过吸收和释放分子与离子来改变其环境的化学成分外,还可通过细胞外表面一些酶的作用引起质膜外化学物质变化。在这方面,海洋浮游藻类一个主要的细胞外表面酶-碳酸酐酶(CA),在经胰蛋白酶处理从细胞质膜上释放出来后,仍保留其催化活性。当细胞外表面CA(简称细胞外CA)具活性时,可催化质膜外HCO_3^-与CO_2的相互转化,为Rubisco(磷酸核酮糖羧化酶)提供一稳定的CO_2流量环境,以维持正常的光合作用。Exofacial ferricyanide reduction at the plasma membrane of intact cells, and the link between plasma membrane redox activity, inorganic carbon status of the cells and extracellular carbonic anhydrase (CAext) activity were assayed using 10 marine phytoplankton species. In species Chaetocceros compressus , Cocolithus pelagicus and Gephyrocapsa oceanica with no extracellular CA activity under carbon-limited or carbon-replete conditions, barely detectable ferricyanide reduction was observed. Species Skeletonema costatum , Melosira sp. , Thalassiosira rotu-la , Thalassiosira weisflogi and Pleurochrysis carterae in which extracellular CA activity was only detected under carbon-limited conditions showed high rates of exofacial ferricyanide reduction. Western blotting and immunolo-calization showed the presence of enzyme protein under carbon-limited and replete conditions at the cell surface, even though the CA activity could only detected when inorganic carbon was limiting, which suggests that the development of extracellular CA in response to carbon limitation is an activation of a preexisting protein rather than de novo synthesis. The results suggest that inorganic carbon limitation in the light increases plasma membrane redox activity and promotes proton extrusion, which result in the protonation and activation of the extracellular CA.
