The invention discloses a method for quantifying response of two
carbon utilization modes of microalgae to weathered
carbon sink of
magnesium-containing
silicate rock, which comprises the following steps: culturing two groups of microalgae under the same culture condition, adding
magnesium-containing
silicate rock and microalgae into one group, and setting an inhibitor (AZ / DIDS) added with a certain
carbon utilization mode as an experimental group; and only
magnesium-containing
silicate rock and microalgae are added into one group as a blank group without adding an inhibitor (AZ / DIDS) of a certain
carbon utilization mode. Setting the treatment group added with AZ (10mM) and DIDS (2mM) as an experimental group, and subtracting the
weathering quantity of the magnesium-containing silicate rocks in the treatment group not added with AZ / DIDS and the treatment group added with AZ / DIDS to obtain the
weathering quantity
delta Ti of the magnesium-containing silicate rocks under the influence of the microalgae anion channel utilization mode, namely
delta Ti = Ti-Ti (AZ / DIDS), and
rock weathering carbon sink Qi =
delta Ti under the influence of the microalgae anion channel utilization mode. Fitting a polynomial function Q = Q (i) to obtain the response function of the microalgae
extracellular carbonic anhydrase mode or the microalgae anion channel utilization mode to the
weathering carbon sink of the magnesium-containing silicate rock. According to the method, the
rock weathering carbon sink quantity under the influence of two carbon utilization
modes of the microalgae can be rapidly and accurately obtained. The invention provides the method for quantifying the response of the two carbon utilization
modes of the microalgae to the weathered carbon sink of the magnesium-containing silicate rock so as to overcome the defect that the response of the two carbon utilization modes of the microalgae to the weathered carbon sink of the magnesium-containing silicate rock cannot be quantified in the prior art.
