ABSTRACT
Trophic status in surface waters has been mostly monitored by measuring soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and total phosphorus (TP). Additional to these common parameters, a two-dimensional ion chromatography mass spectrometry (2D-IC-MS) method was used to simultaneously measure soluble phosphate (Pi), pyrophosphate (PPi), and eleven phosphate-containing metabolites (P-metabolites) in Lake Ontario and its tributaries. From the additional P species, PPi, adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), glucose 6-phosphate (G-P), D-fructose 6-phosphate (F-P), D-fructose 1,6-biphosphate (F-2P), D-ribulose 5-phosphate (R-P), D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (R-2P), and D-(-)-3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA) were detected and quantified in the lake and river samples. The additional multivariate statistical analysis identified similarities between samples collected at different locations. The presence of R-P, R-2P, and F-2P in Lake Ontario tributaries seems to be mainly related to the Calvin cycle, while the lack of all these three P-metabolites and higher PGA levels than G-P in Toronto Harbour samples seems to be the result of depleted Calvin cycle, pentose phosphate, and glycolysis metabolic pathways.
