Different Sensitivities of Selenastrum capricornutum and Toxic Strain Microcystis aeruginosa to Exudates from Two Potamogeton Species
The sensitivities of Selenastrum capricornutum and the toxic strain Microcystis aeruginosa to exudates from Potamogeton maackianus and P. malaianus were compared using exudation experiment, and the potential allelochemicals released by these two pondweeds into surrounding water were also analyzed. The growth of S. capricornutum and M. aeruginosa was inhibited by the exudates from the two macrop...
متن کاملToxic Picoplanktonic Cyanobacteria—Review
Cyanobacteria of a picoplanktonic cell size (0.2 to 2.0 µm) are common organisms of both freshwater and marine ecosystems. However, due to their small size and relatively short study history, picoplanktonic cyanobacteria, in contrast to the microplanktonic cyanobacteria, still remains a poorly studied fraction of plankton. So far, only little information on picocyanobacteria toxicity has been r...
متن کاملGenetic divergence among toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria of the dry zone of Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has rich cyanobacterial diversity, however, only few studies have been conducted to identify the potential toxin producers in water bodies used for human consumption. As the detection of cyanotoxin is vital in water quality management, a study was done by employing 16S rRNA gene to explore the genetic divergence, phylogenetic relationships and potential toxin producing cyanobacteria i...
متن کاملGrowth and Photosynthetic Characteristics of Toxic and Non-Toxic Strains of the Cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena circinalis in Relation to Light
Cyanobacteria are major bloom-forming organisms in freshwater ecosystems and many strains are known to produce toxins. Toxin production requires an investment in energy and resources. As light is one of the most important factors for cyanobacterial growth, any changes in light climate might affect cyanobacterial toxin production as well as their growth and physiology. To evaluate the effects of...
متن کاملInterlaboratory comparison of Taq Nuclease Assays for the quantification of the toxic cyanobacteria Microcystis sp.
The application of quantitative real-time PCR has been proposed for the quantification of toxic genotypes of cyanobacteria. We have compared the Taq Nuclease Assay (TNA) in quantifying the toxic cyanobacteria Microcystis sp. via the intergenic spacer region of the phycocyanin operon (PC) and mcyB indicative of the production of the toxic heptapeptide microcystin between three research groups em...
