摘要

Abstract

Cyanobacterial blooms have become a serious global environmental issue due to their potential risk for releasing detrimental secondary metabolites into aquatic ecosystems

posing a great threat to water quality management for public health authorities.

Aphanizomenon

a common filamentous cyanobacterial genus belonging to Nostocales

is under particular concern because its several members are able to form harmful blooms. Furthermore

succession of bloom between

A. flos-aquae

and

Microcystis

occurs in many natural lakes. To evaluate the competitiveness of

A. flos-aquae

vs.

M. aeruginosa

two sets of experiments at different ratios of biomass at 15 ℃ and 25 ℃ were conducted. Results show that at 15 ℃

the two species were able to coexist

and

A. flos-aquae

showed a specific higher growth rate

and its growth was promoted by the presence of

M. aeruginosa

. At 25 ℃

the growth of

A. flos-aquae

was inhibited by the biomass of

M. aeruginosa

and

M. aeruginosa

suppressed

A. flos-aquae

in competition. Additionally

the vegetative cell size of

A. flos-aquae

was significantly influenced by the co-culture with

M. aeruginosa

whereas the filament length of

A. flos-aquae

was not significantly affected. This study confirms that temperature is the dominating factor on the succession of

A. flos-aquae

and

M. aeruginosa

of a different biomass.
