Abstract
- We investigated the role of plankton in the vanadium (V) cycle at Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, a region with high V concentration in the atmospheric particles due to marine aerosol. The concentrations of V in plankton vary from 0.08 to 20.9 µg g-1 (zooplankton), 0.1 to 28.4 µg g-1 (phytoplankton > 64 µm) and < 0.0005 to 49.0 µg g-1 (small phytoplankton > 20 µm). The V speciation in biomolecules was performed by the use of two strategies: (i) coupling of size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for the fractionation of species with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and (ii) with size exclusion anionic exchange chromatography with UV-Vis detector coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SEC-AE-UV-Vis-ICP-MS). The results showed a single fraction containing V associated with a biomolecule in the range of 8 to 16 kDa, with isoeletric points above 8. The preliminary analyses using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) do not permit to identify such biomolecule, considering the broader size range of the proteins obtained. Nós investigamos o papel do plâncton no ciclo do vanádio (V) em Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, uma região com alta concentração de V nas partículas atmosféricas, devido ao aerossol marinho. As concentrações de V no plâncton variaram de 0,08-20,9 µg g-1 (zooplâncton), 0,1-28,4 µg g-1 (fitoplâncton > 64 µm) e < 0,0005-49,0 µg g¹ (pequeno fitoplâncton > 20 µm). A especiação de V associado a biomoléculas foi realizada por duas estratégias: (i) o acoplamento de cromatografia de exclusão de tamanho (SEC) para o fracionamento de espécies com espectrometria de massas com plasma indutivamente acoplado (ICP-MS) e (ii) cromatografia de exclusão de tamanho por troca aniônica com detector UV-Vis acoplado a espectrometria de massas com plasma indutivamente acoplado (SEC-AE-UV-Vis-ICP-MS). Os resultados mostraram uma única fração contendo V associada a uma biomolécula na faixa de 8 a 16 kDa, com ponto isoelétrico acima de 8. Resultados preliminares usando MALDI-TOF não permitem identificar a biomolécula, considerando a larga faixa de massa molecular obtida.
