[Bioavailability of dissolved organic nitrogen components in the lake sediment to alage].

Samples in the sediments of Wuliangsuhai and Erhai Lake were selected, and the technologies of XAD-8 resins separation and three dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (3DEEM) spectra were applied, in order to study the bioavailability of dissolved organic nitrogen components to alage under the room cultivation. The obtained results showed that: (1) Average loss of DON and DOC from sediments was below 5% after dividing DON into different groups, which means the technology of XAD- 8 resins separation could be used in the study of DON components in the lake sediment. (2) Through 3DEEM analysis, hydrophilic and hydrophobic DON was dominated by protein-like and humic-like materials in the lake sediment, respectively.
