JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 365:121707. [PMID: 38968883 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.121707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 07/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/07/2024]
Abstract
Addressing the threat of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) and their associated microcystins (MCs) is crucial for global drinking water safety. In this review, we comprehensively analyze and compares the physical, chemical, and biological methods and genetic engineering for MCs degradation in aquatic environments. Physical methods, such as UV treatments and photocatalytic reactions, have a high efficiency in breaking down MCs, with the potential for further enhancement in performance and reduction of hazardous byproducts. Chemical treatments using chlorine dioxide and potassium permanganate can reduce MC levels but require careful dosage management to avoid toxic by-products and protect aquatic ecosystems. Biological methods, including microbial degradation and phytoremediation techniques, show promise for the biodegradation of MCs, offering reduced environmental impact and increased sustainability. Genetic engineering, such as immobilization of microcystinase A (MlrA) in Escherichia coli and its expression in Synechocystis sp., has proven effective in decomposing MCs such as MC-LR. However, challenges related to specific environmental conditions such as temperature variations, pH levels, presence of other contaminants, nutrient availability, oxygen levels, and light exposure, as well as scalability of biological systems, necessitate further exploration. We provide a comprehensive evaluation of MCs degradation techniques, delving into their practicality, assessing the environmental impacts, and scrutinizing their efficiency to offer crucial insights into the multifaceted nature of these methods in various environmental contexts. The integration of various methodologies to enhance degradation efficiency is vital in the field of water safety, underscoring the need for ongoing innovation.

Abstract
Water eutrophication has emerged as a pressing concern for massive algal blooms, and these harmful blooms can potentially generate harmful toxins, which can detrimentally impact the aquatic environment and human health. Consequently, it is imperative to identify a safe and efficient approach to combat algal blooms to safeguard the ecological safety of water. This study aimed to investigate the procedure for extracting total flavonoids from Z. bungeanum residue and assess its antioxidant properties. The most favorable parameters for extracting total flavonoids from Z. bungeanum residue were a liquid-solid ratio (LSR) of 20 mL/g, a solvent concentration of 60%, an extraction period of 55 min, and an ultrasonic temperature of 80 °C. Meanwhile, the photosynthetic inhibitory mechanism of Z. bungeanum residue extracts against M. aeruginosa was assessed with a particular focus on the concentration-dependent toxicity effect. Z. bungeanum residue extracts damaged the oxygen-evolving complex structure, influenced energy capture and distribution, and inhibited the electron transport of PSII in M. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the enhanced capacity for ROS detoxification enables treated cells to sustain their photosynthetic activity. The findings of this study hold considerable relevance for the ecological management community and offer potential avenues for the practical utilization of resources in controlling algal blooms.

Abstract
Strain HUAS CB01T was a novel actinobacterium which was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Cathaya argyrophylla, Chengbu Miao Autonomous County of Hunan Province, China. The strain formed well-growing substrate mycelium, diffusible pigments, and aerial mycelium, and differentiated into spiral-type spore chains composed of smooth-surface rod-shaped spores. Phylogenetic analysis on account of 16 S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated the strain HUAS CB01T was a member of the genus Streptomyces and had a close relationship with Streptomyces wuyuanensis CGMCC 4.7042 T (100%) and Streptomyces marianii ICN19T (99.86%). Genome-based comparisons indicated that strain HUAS CB01T could be distinctly different from its closest species, Streptomyces wuyuanensis CGMCC 4.7042 T, Streptomyces marianii ICN19T, with ANIm and dDDH results of 92.78% and 45.90%, 92.22% and 43.30%, respectively, far less than 96.7 and 70% cut-off points recommended for delineating species. The main cellular fatty acids concluded anteiso-C15:0, iso-C14:0, iso-C16:0, C16:0 and C16:1 2OH. The menaquinones were MK-9(H4), MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8) and the whole-cell sugars consisted of ribose and mannose. The polar lipids included phosphatidyl ethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, mannosides and unidentified phospholipids. According to these genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, strain HUAS CB01T can be distinguished and representative to be a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces chengbuensis is proposed. The type strain is HUAS CB01T ( = MCCC 1K08666T = JCM 36277 T).

Abstract
The harmful algal blooms (HABs) can damage the ecological equilibrium of aquatic ecosystems and threaten human health. The bio-degradation of algal by algicidal bacteria is an environmentally friendly and economical approach to control HABs. This study applied an aerobic denitrification synchronization algicidal strain Streptomyces sp. LJH-12-1 (L1) to control HABs. The cell-free filtrate of the strain L1 showed a great algolytic effect on bloom-forming cyanobacterium, Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa). The optimal algicidal property of strain L1 was indirect light-dependent algicidal with an algicidal rate of 85.0%. The functional metabolism, light-trapping, light-transfer efficiency, the content of pigments, and inhibition of photosynthesis of M. aeruginosa decreased after the addition of the supernatant of the strain L1 due to oxidative stress. Moreover, 96.05% nitrate removal rate synchronized with algicidal activity was achieved with the strain L1. The relative abundance of N cycling functional genes significantly increased during the strain L1 effect on M. aeruginosa. The algicidal efficiency of the strain L1 in the raw water was 76.70% with nitrate removal efficiency of 81.4%. Overall, this study provides a novel route to apply bacterial strain with the property of denitrification coupled with algicidal activity in treating micro-polluted water bodies.

Abstract
A novel Ag3PO4/ZnWO4-modified graphite felt electrode (AZW@GF) was prepared by drop coating method and applied to photoelectrocatalytic removal of harmful algae. Results showed that approximately 99.21% of chlorophyll a and 91.57% of Microcystin-LR (MCLR) were degraded by the AZW@GF-Pt photoelectrocatalytic system under the optimal operating conditions with a rate constant of 0.02617 min-1 and 0.01416 min-1, respectively. The calculated synergistic coefficient of photoelectrocatalytic algal removal and MC-LR degradation by the AZW@GF-Pt system was both larger than 1.9. In addition, the experiments of quenching experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) revealed that the photoelectrocatalytic reaction mainly generated •OH and •O2- for algal removal and MC-LR degradation. Furthermore, the potential pathway for photoelectrocatalytic degradation of MC-LR was proposed. Finally, the photoelectrocatalytic cycle algae removal experiments were carried out on AZW@GF electrode, which was found to maintain the algae removal efficiency at about 91% after three cycles of use, indicating that the photoelectrocatalysis of AZW@GF electrode is an effective emergency algae removal technology.

Discovery of two novel bioactive algicidal substances from Brevibacillus sp. via metabolomics profiling and back-validation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:133985. [PMID: 38471378 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Identifying potent bacterial algicidal agents is essential for the development of effective, safe, and economically viable algaecides. Challenges in isolating and purifying these substances from complex secretions have impeded progress in this field. Metabolomics profiling, an efficient strategy for identifying metabolites, was pioneered in identifying bacterial algicidal substances in this study. Extracellular secretions from different generations of the algicidal bacterium Brevibacillus sp. were isolated for comprehensive analysis. Specifically, a higher algicidal efficacy was observed in the secretion from Generation 3 (G3) of Brevibacillus sp. compared to Generation 1 (G1). Subsequent metabolomics profiling comparing G3 and 1 revealed 83 significantly up-regulated metabolites, of which 9 were identified as potential algicidal candidates. Back-validation highlighted the potency of 4-acetamidobutanoic acid (4-ABC) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQL), which exhibited robust algicidal activity with 3d-EC50 values of 6.40 mg/L and 92.90 µg/L, respectively. These substances disrupted photosynthetic activity in M. aeruginosa by ceasing electron transfer in PSⅡ, like the impact exerted by Brevibacillus sp. secretion. These findings confirmed that 4-ABC and 8-HQL were the main algicidal components derived from Brevibacillus sp.. Thus, this study presents a streamlined strategy for identifying bacterial algicidal substances and unveils two novel and highly active algicidal substances. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) pose significant environmental problems and health effects to humans and other organisms. The increasing frequency of HCBs has emerged as a pressing global concern. Bacterial-derived algicidal substances are expected to serve as effective, safe, and economically viable algaecides against HCBs. This study presents a streamlined strategy for identifying bacterial algicidal substances and unveils two novel substances (4-ABC and 8-HQL). These two substances demonstrate remarkable algicidal activity and disrupt the photosynthetic system in M. aeruginosa. They hold potential as prospective algaecides for addressing HCBs.

Spatial and diel variations of bacterioplankton and pico-nanoeukaryote communities and potential biotic interactions during macroalgal blooms. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2024; 202:116409. [PMID: 38663343 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2024.116409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
We investigated spatial heterogeneity and diel variations in bacterioplankton and pico-nanoeukaryote communities, and potential biotic interactions at the extinction stage of the Ulva prolifera bloom in the Jiaozhou Bay, Yellow Sea. It was found that the presence of Ulva canopies significantly promoted the cell abundance of heterotrophic bacteria, raised evenness, and altered the community structure of bacterioplankton. A diel pattern was solely significant for pico-nanoeukaryote community structure. >50 % of variation in the heterotrophic bacterial abundance was accounted for by the ratio of Bacteroidota to Firmicutes, and dissolved organic nitrogen effectively explained the variations in cell abundances of phytoplankton populations. The factors representing biotic interactions frequently contributed substantially more than environmental factors in explaining the variations in diversity and community structure of both bacterioplankton and pico-nanoeukaryotes. There were higher proportions of eukaryotic pathogens compared to other marine systems, suggesting a higher ecological risk associated with the Ulva blooms.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) significantly impact on water quality and ecological balance. Ultrasound irradiation has proven to be an effective method for algal control. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying the inactivation of M. aeruginosa by ultrasound are still unknown. In this study, the physiological activity and molecular mechanism of algal cells exposed to different frequencies of ultrasound were studied. The results indicated a pronounced inhibition of algal cell growth by high-frequency, high-dose ultrasound. Moreover, with increasing ultrasound dosage, there was a higher percentage of algal cell membrane ruptures. SEM and TEM observed obvious disruptions in membrane structure and internal matrix. Hydroxyl radicals generated by high-frequency ultrasound inflicted substantial cell membrane damage, while increased antioxidant enzyme activities fortified cells against oxidative stress. Following 2 min of ultrasound irradiation at 740 kHz, significant differential gene expression occurred in various aspects, including energy metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and environmental information processing pathways. Moreover, ultrasound irradiation influenced DNA repair and cellular apoptosis, suggesting that the algal cells underwent biological stress to counteract the damage caused by ultrasound. These findings reveal that ultrasound irradiation inactivates algae by destroying their cell structures and metabolic pathways, thereby achieving the purpose of algal suppression.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a global environmental concern, causing significant economic losses in fisheries and posing risks to human health. Algicidal bacteria have been suggested as a potential solution to control HABs, but their algicidal efficacy is influenced by various factors. This study aimed to characterize a novel algicidal bacterium, Maribacter dokdonensis (P4), isolated from a Karenia mikimotoi (Hong Kong strain, KMHK) HAB and assess the impact of P4 and KMHK's doses, growth phase, and algicidal mode and the axenicity of KMHK on P4's algicidal effect. Our results demonstrated that the algicidal effect of P4 was dose-dependent, with the highest efficacy at a dose of 25% v/v. The study also determined that P4's algicidal effect was indirect, with the P4 culture and the supernatant, but not the bacterial cells, showing significant effects. The algicidal efficacy was higher when both P4 and KMHK were in the stationary phase. Furthermore, the P4 culture at the log phase could effectively kill KMHK cells at the stationary phase, with higher algicidal efficacy in the bacterial culture than that of the supernatant alone. Interestingly, P4's algicidal efficacy was significantly higher when co-culturing with xenic KMHK (~90% efficacy at day 1) than that with the axenic KMHK (~50% efficacy at day 1), suggesting the presence of other bacteria could regulate P4's algicidal effect. The bacterial strain P4 also exhibited remarkable algicidal efficacy on four other dinoflagellate species, particularly the armored species. These results provide valuable insights into the algicidal effect of M. dokdonensis on K. mikimotoi and on their interactions.

Abstract
The proliferation of harmful algal blooms is a global concern due to the risk they pose to the environment and human health. Algal toxins which are hazardous compounds produced by dangerous algae, can potentially kill humans. Researchers have been drawn to photocatalysis because of its clean and energy-saving properties. Graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalysts have been extensively studied for their ability to eliminate algae. These photocatalysts have attracted notice because of their cost-effectiveness, appropriate electronic structure, and exceptional chemical stability. This paper reviews the progress of photocatalytic inactivation of harmful algae by g-C3N4-based materials in recent years. A brief overview is given of a number of the modification techniques on g-C3N4-based photocatalytic materials, as well as the process of inactivating algal cells and destroying their toxins. Additionally, it provides a theoretical framework for future research on the eradication of algae using g-C3N4-based photocatalytic materials.

Abstract
The alpine lakes distributed on the plateau are crucial for the hydrological, and biogeochemical cycle, and also serve as a guarantee for regional economic development and human survival. However, under the influence of human interference and climate fluctuations, lakes are facing problems of eutrophication and subsequent algal blooms (ABs) with acceleration, and the development and driving factors of this phenomenon need to be considered as a whole. In this study, ten lakes located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau were selected as the study area to analyze the spatiotemporal distribution of ABs and possible controlling forces. The FAI (Floating Algae Index) derived from multiple MODIS products and water quality data under high-frequency monitoring were selected as the data sources for characterizing ABs. Three nutrient parameters and five meteorological variables were used to explore the driving factors affecting ABs. Various methods of trend detection and correlation analysis have been applied. The main results are as follows: (1) Dianchi Lake (in lake area) and Xingyun Lake (in area proportion) are the two lakes with the most serious ABs in the historical period; (2) ABs are mainly distributed on the shoreline and northern edge of lakes, and tend to stay away from the lake center during high-temperature periods of the day; (3) Six lakes show a decreasing trend in ABs, especially after 2018, while other lakes (including Fuxian, Chenghai, Yangzong, and Erhai) are increasing, not only in peak value but also in duration; (4) Lakes with severe ABs are all P-restricted lakes, the minimum temperature is the most sensitive meteorological factor, while the impact of precipitation against ABs has a time lag; (5) Establishing a warning system of temperature and nutrient concentration is critical in ABs adaptive strategy. This study is expected to provide scientific references for regional water management and the restoration of the eutrophic aquatic ecosystem.

HARMFUL ALGAE 2024; 133:102587.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide has gained popularity as an environmentally friendly treatment for cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) that takes advantage of oxidative stress sensitivity in cyanobacteria at controlled concentrations. Higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide treatments may seem appealing for more severe cHABs but there is currently little understanding of the environmental impacts of this approach. Of specific concern is the associated microbial community, which may play key roles in the succession/recovery process post-treatment. To better understand impacts of a high concentration treatment on non-target microbial communities, we applied a hydrogen peroxide spray equating to a total volume concentration of 14 mM (473 mg/L, 0.04%) to 250 L mesocosms containing Microcystis bloom biomass, monitoring treatment and control mesocosms for 4 days. Cyanobacteria dominated control mesocosms throughout the experiment while treatment mesocosms experienced a 99% reduction, as determined by bacterial amplicon sequencing, and a 92% reduction in bacterial cell density within 1 day post-treatment. Only the bacterial community exhibited signs of regrowth, with a fold change of 9.2 bacterial cell density from day 1 to day 2. Recovery consisted of succession by Planctomycetota (47%) and Gammaproteobacteria (17%), which were likely resilient due to passive cell component compartmentalization and rapid upregulation of dnaK and groEL oxidative stress genes, respectively. The altered microbiome retained beneficial functionality of microcystin degradation through a currently recognized but unidentified pathway in Gammaproteobacteria, resulting in a 70% reduction coinciding with bacterial regrowth. There was also an 81% reduction of both total nitrogen and phosphorus, as compared to 91 and 93% in the control, respectively, due to high expressions of genes related to nitrogen (argH, carB, glts, glnA) and phosphorus (pntAB, phoB, pstSCB) cycling. Overall, we found a portion of the bacterial community was resilient to the high-concentration hydrogen peroxide treatment, resulting in Planctomycetota and Gammaproteobacteria dominance. This high-concentration treatment may be suitable to rapidly end cHABs which have already negatively impacted the aquatic environment rather than allow them to persist.

Abstract
Chaetomorpha valida, filamentous green tide algae, poses a significant threat to both aquatic ecosystems and aquaculture. Vibrio alginolyticus Y20 is a new algicidal bacterium with an algicidal effect on C. valida. This study aimed to investigate the physiological and molecular responses of C. valida to exposure to V. alginolyticus Y20. The inhibitory effect of V. alginolyticus Y20 on C. valida was content dependent, with the lowest inhibitory content being 3 × 105 CFU mL-1. The microscopic results revealed that C. valida experienced severe morphological damage under the influence of V. alginolyticus Y20, with a dispersion of intracellular pigments. V. alginolyticus Y20 caused the decrease in chlorophyll-a content and Fv/Fm in C. valida. At the molecular level, V. alginolyticus Y20 downregulated the expression of genes related to photosynthetic pigment synthesis, light capture, and electron transport. Furthermore, V. alginolyticus Y20 induced oxidative damage to algal cells. The production of reactive oxygen species significantly increased after 11 days of exposure. Malondialdehyde content significantly increased, and the cell membranes were severely damaged by lipid peroxidation. The content of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase also markedly increased, whereas catalase content decreased significantly. Additionally, peroxisomes were inhibited due to the downregulation of PEX expression, leading to irreversible oxidative damage to algal cells. Our findings provided a new theoretical basis for exploring the interaction between algicidal bacteria and green tide algae at the molecular level.

Abstract
The emergence of algal toxins in water ecosystems poses a significant ecological and human health concern. These toxins, produced by various algal species, can lead to harmful algal blooms, and have far-reaching consequences on biodiversity, food chains, and water quality. This review explores the types and sources of algal toxins, their ecological impacts, and the associated human health risks. Additionally, the review delves into the potential of bioremediation strategies to mitigate the effects of algal toxins. It discusses the role of microorganisms, enzymes, and algal-bacterial interactions in toxin removal, along with engineering approaches such as advanced oxidation processes and adsorbent utilization. Microbes and enzymes have been studied for their environmentally friendly and biocompatible properties, which make them useful for controlling or removing harmful algae and their toxins. The challenges and limitations of bioremediation are examined, along with case studies highlighting successful toxin control efforts. Finally, the review outlines future prospects, emerging technologies, and the need for continued research to effectively address the complex issue of algal toxins and their ecological significance.

Abstract
Microcystis aeruginosa is ubiquitously found in various water bodies and can produce microcystins (MCs), which threaten the health of aquatic animals and human beings. The elimination of excessive M. aeruginosa is beneficial for the protection of the ecosystems and public health. In this regard, algae-lysing bacteria have been extensively studied as an effective measure for their eradication. However, the active substances generated by algae-lysing bacteria are limited. For this study, we reveal that the phenyllactic acid (PLA) produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides DH exhibits high efficacy for the removal of M. aeruginosa, and explore the elimination mechanism of strain DH on M. aeruginosa. It was found that a cell-free supernatant of strain DH possessed high removal activities against M. aeruginosa. Abundant reactive oxygen species were induced in algal cells following exposure to strain DH supernatant, as well as superoxide dismutase and catalase responses. Furthermore, the integrity of algal cell membranes and photosynthesis was seriously damaged. Interestingly, added exogenous eugenol significantly inhibited the synthesis of active substance produced by strain DH, which further identified that PLA is one of the active substances that contribute to the eradication of M. aeruginosa on the basis of metabolomics analysis. Our finding demonstrated, for the first time, that PLA (as an anti-cyanobacterial compound) can be used for the removal of M. aeruginosa, which provides a theoretical basis for the control of M. aeruginosa.

Abstract
Microcystis blooms threaten ecosystem function and cause substantial economic losses. Microorganism-based methods, mainly using cyanobactericidal bacteria, are considered one of the most ecologically sound methods to control Microcystis blooms. This study focused on gaining genomic insights into Paucibacter aquatile DH15 that exhibited excellent cyanobactericidal effects against Microcystis. Additionally, a pan-genome analysis of the genus Paucibacter was conducted to enhance our understanding of the ecophysiological significance of this genus. Based on phylogenomic analyses, strain DH15 was classified as a member of the species Paucibacter aquatile. The genome analysis supported that strain DH15 can effectively destroy Microcystis, possibly due to the specific genes involved in the flagellar synthesis, cell wall degradation, and the production of cyanobactericidal compounds. The pan-genome analysis revealed the diversity and adaptability of the genus Paucibacter, highlighting its potential to absorb external genetic elements. Paucibacter species were anticipated to play a vital role in the ecosystem by potentially providing essential nutrients, such as vitamins B7, B12, and heme, to auxotrophic microbial groups. Overall, our findings contribute to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the action of cyanobactericidal bacteria against Microcystis and shed light on the ecological significance of the genus Paucibacter.

Abstract
As human society and industrialization have progressed, harmful algal blooms have contributed to global ecological pollution which makes the development of a novel and effective algal control strategy imminent. This is because existing physical and chemical methods for dealing with the problem have issues like cost and secondary pollution. Benefiting from their environmentally friendly and biocompatible properties, white-rot fungi (WRF) have been studied to control algal growth. WRF control algae by using algae for carbon or nitrogen, antagonism, and enhancing allelopathies. It can be better applied to practice by immobilization. This paper reviews the mechanism for WRF control of algae growth and its practical application. It demonstrates the limitations of WRF controlling algae growth and aids the further study of biological methods to regulate eutrophic water in algae growth research. In addition, it provides theoretical support for the fungi controlling algae growth.

Abstract
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) are spreading in freshwater ecosystems worldwide, adversely affecting drinking water supplies, aquatic production, recreational and tourism activities. Therefore, the efficient and environmentally friendly method is still of interest to be developed to effectively control HCBs. Inspired by the excellent algicidal activity of cercosporin (CP), a novel metal-free algaecide SiO2@EDU@CP (EDU, N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)urea) with flocculation and photoremoval functions, was successfully designed and prepared in one-step to simultaneously introduce CP and EDU on SiO2 nanoparticles. It could rapidly form algae flocs in 20 min with 97.1% flocculation rate, and remove Microcystis aeruginosa within 12 h with 91.0% algicidal rate under 23 W compact fluorescent light irradiation without any leaked CP detected. Additionally, odorant β-cyclocitral and toxin microcystin-LR were both photodegraded after treatment of SiO2@EDU@CP. Further mechanistic studies showed that the introduction of EDU significantly reversed the zeta potential of SiO2-COOH to achieve the flocculation through neutral charge, and the photophysical characterization of SiO2@EDU@CP revealed the improved charge separation ability to generate reactive oxygen species. More importantly, the utility of SiO2@EDU@CP was well demonstrated by its effectiveness for algae from Taihu Lake under natural sunlight and inability to regrow after treatment. This study not only establishes a bifunctional algicide SiO2@EDU@CP to efficiently control HCBs, but also provides design possibilities to develop more novel and efficient algicides for the better control of practical HCBs.

Abstract
The dinoflagellate Prorocentrum triestinum forms high biomass blooms that discolor the water (red tides), which may pose a serious threat to marine fauna and aquaculture exploitations. In this study, the algicidal effect of a bacterial strain (0YLH) belonging to the genus Shewanella was identified and evaluated against P. triestinum. The algicidal effects on the dinoflagellate were observed when P. triestinum was exposed to cell-free supernatant (CFS) from stationary-phase cultures of the 0YLH strain. After 24 h exposure, a remarkable reduction in the photosynthetic efficiency of P. triestinum was achieved (55.9%), suggesting the presence of extracellular bioactive compounds produced by the bacteria with algicidal activity. Furthermore, the CFS exhibited stability and maintained its activity across a wide range of temperatures (20-120 °C) and pH values (3-11). These findings highlight the algicidal potential of the bacterium Shewanella halifaxensis 0YLH as a promising tool for the environmentally friendly biological control of P. triestinum blooms.

Abstract
Viruses, bacteria, and eukaryotic symbionts interact with algae in a variety of ways to cause disease complexes, often shaping marine and freshwater ecosystems. The advent of phyconomy (a.k.a. seaweed agronomy) represents a need for a greater understanding of algal disease interactions, where underestimated cryptic diversity and lack of phycopathological basis are prospective constraints for algal domestication. Here, we highlight the limited yet increasing knowledge of algal pathogen biodiversity and the ecological interaction with their algal hosts. Finally, we discuss how ecology and cultivation experience contribute to and reinforce aquaculture practice, with the potential to reshape biosecurity policies of seaweed cultivation worldwide.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a global concern because they harm aquatic ecosystems and pose a risk to human health. Various physical, chemical, and biological approaches have been explored to control HABs. However, these methods have limitations in terms of cost, environmental impact, and effectiveness, particularly for large water bodies. Recently, the use of nanoparticles has emerged as a promising strategy for controlling HABs. Briefly, nanoparticles can act as anti-algae agents via several mechanisms, including photocatalysis, flocculation, oxidation, adsorption, and nutrient recovery. Compared with traditional methods, nanoparticle-based approaches offer advantages in terms of environmental friendliness, effectiveness, and specificity. However, the challenges and risks associated with nanoparticles, such as their toxicity and ecological impact, must be considered. In this review, we summarize recent research progress concerning the use of nanoparticles to control HABs, compare the advantages and disadvantages of different types of nanoparticles, discuss the factors influencing their effectiveness and environmental impact, and suggest future directions for research and development in this field. Additionally, we explore the causes of algal blooms, their harmful effects, and various treatment methods, including restricting eutrophication, biological control, and disrupting living conditions. The potential of photocatalysis for generating reactive oxygen species and nutrient control methods using nanomaterials are also discussed in detail. Moreover, the application of flocculants/coagulants for algal removal is highlighted, along with the challenges and potential solutions associated with their use. This comprehensive overview aims to contribute to the development of efficient and sustainable strategies for controlling HAB control.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) are recognized as promising bio-based flocculants for controlling harmful algal blooms (HABs). Due to the charge shielding effect in seawater and the strong mobility of algae cells, CNC can't effectively remove Phaeocystis globosa from seawater. To solve this problem, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) was used to enhance the coagulation of CNC for rapidly removal of P. globosa. The results showed that 91.7% of Chl-a, 95.2% of OD680, and 97.2% of turbidity of P. globosa were reduced within 3 h with the use of 200 mg L-1 of CNC and 20 mg L-1 of PMS. The removal of P. globosa was consisted of inactivation and flocculation. Notably, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrums and quenching experiments revealed that the inactivation of P. globosa was dominated by PMS oxidation and 1O2. Subsequently, CNC entrained inactivated algal cells to settle to the bottom to achieve efficient removal of P. globosa. The content of total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) decreased significantly, indicating that a low emission risk of algal cell effluent was produced in the CNC-PMS system. In view of the excellent performance on P. globosa removal, we believe that the CNC-PMS system has great potential for HABs treatments.

Abstract
There exists a global challenge of feeding the growing human population of the world and supplying its energy needs without exhausting global resources. This challenge includes the competition for biomass between food and fuel production. The aim of this paper is to review to what extent the biomass of plants growing under hostile conditions and on marginal lands could ease that competition. Biomass from salt-tolerant algae and halophytes has shown potential for bioenergy production on salt-affected soils. Halophytes and algae could provide a bio-based source for lignoceelusic biomass and fatty acids or an alternative for edible biomass currently produced using fresh water and agricultural lands. The present paper provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges in the development of alternative fuels from halophytes and algae. Halophytes grown on marginal and degraded lands using saline water offer an additional material for commercial-scale biofuel production, especially bioethanol. At the same time, suitable strains of microalgae cultured under saline conditions can be a particularly good source of biodiesel, although the efficiency of their mass-scale biomass production is still a concern in relation to environmental protection. This review summaries the pitfalls and precautions for producing biomass in a way that limits environmental hazards and harms for coastal ecosystems. Some new algal and halophytic species with great potential as sources of bioenergy are highlighted.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in coastal areas severely affected the health of ecosystem and human beings. The HABs control by biological methods, especially for biofilms, has been research hotspots in freshwater ecosystem. However, the biofilm-relating control of HABs in marine environment was very limited. In the present study, we found the population growth of two harmful algal species, Prorocentrum obtusidens Schiller (formerly P. donghaiense Lu) and Heterosigma akashiwo, were inhibited by a diatom-bacteria biofilm. The highest inhibitory rate was 79.6 ± 2.1% for P. obtusidens when co-cultured with biofilm suspension, and was 88.6 ± 5.8% for H. akashiwo when co-cultured with the biofilm filtrate without nutrient replenishment. When nitrate and phosphate were added, the inhibition rate for P. obtusidens was 72.3 ± 2.0%, but the population inhibition was not found in H. akashiwo. It suggested that P. obtusidens was mainly inhibited via interference competition, while the inhibition of H. akashiwo was resulted from exploitation competition. We further investigated the role of fatty acids for the interference competition in P. obtusidens, and found that fatty acids at their environmental-relevance concentrations can inhibit the photosynthetic capacity of P. obtusidens, but cannot inhibit the population growth. The community of biofilm shifted, and was finally dominated by the photoheterotrophic bacterium Dinoroseobacter shibae, and the diatom Fistulifera sp. with relative abundance of higher than 90%. Our study indicated that the diatom-bacteria biofilm was likely the candidate for the HABs control in marine environment. D. shibae and Fistulifera sp. were probably the effective species in the biofilm.

Abstract
Constructed wetlands (CWs) have emerged as a promising environmentally sustainable technique for wastewater treatment. However, the susceptibility of CWs to disturbances caused by harmful algal blooms (HABs) raises concerns. This study aimed to investigate the impact of HABs on the pollutants' removal performance of CWs and the response of rhizosphere microbial community. Results revealed that CWs possessed an adaptive capacity that enabled them to recover caused by HABs. The rhizosphere was found to stimulate the occurrence of Acinetobacter, which played a critical role to help resist HABs disturbance. This study also observed an increased dissimilatory nitrate reduction metabolic pathway which promoted denitrification and enhanced the nitrogen removal efficiency of CWs. Additionally, the structural equation model further suggested that dissolved oxygen exerted a significant influence on the microbial activities and then affected the pollutants removal performance. Overall, our findings shed light on the mechanism for CW stability maintenance during HABs disturbance.

[PMID: 37178955 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121812] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/11/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
The utilization of algicidal bacteria for the control of harmful algal blooms (HABs) is a promising technology for ecological remediation. In our most recent publication, a novel strain of Brevibacillus sp. was isolated and proved to have significant algicidal activity and stability against Microcystis aeruginosa. In order to verify the algicidal effect of the strain in the practical application scenario, the algicidal efficacy of Brevibacillus sp. under conditions close to water in the environment was investigated. Results indicated that the algicidal threshold of Brevibacillus sp. culture was 3‰ inoculation concentration, and the removal rate of M. aeruginosa reached 100%. The process of Chl-a degradation followed a first-order kinetic model, which could be used to predict the degradation effect of M. aeruginosa in practical applications. Additionally, the inoculation of Brevibacillus sp. culture introduced additional nutrients, some of which remained in the water. Furthermore, the algicidal substances demonstrated good sustainability, with a removal rate of up to 78.53% at 144 h after three repeated uses. At 12 h, the algicidal substances caused a 78.65% increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) content in M. aeruginosa compared to the control group, thereby triggering the antioxidant system of M. aeruginosa. Moreover, algal cell fragments were observed to aggregate. This study provides a promising direction for treating cyanobacterial blooms using algicidal bacteria in practical applications.

Abstract
Agrochemicals are products of advanced technologies that use inorganic pesticides and fertilizers. Widespread use of these compounds has adverse environmental effects, leading to acute and chronic exposure. Globally, scientists are adopting numerous green technologies to ensure a healthy and safe food supply and a livelihood for everyone. Nanotechnologies significantly impact all aspects of human activity, including agriculture, even if synthesizing certain nanomaterials is not environmentally friendly. Numerous nanomaterials may therefore make it easier to create natural insecticides, which are more effective and environmentally friendly. Nanoformulations can improve efficacy, reduce effective doses, and extend shelf life, while controlled-release products can improve the delivery of pesticides. Nanotechnology platforms enhance the bioavailability of conventional pesticides by changing kinetics, mechanisms, and pathways. This allows them to bypass biological and other undesirable resistance mechanisms, increasing their efficacy. The development of nanomaterials is expected to lead to a new generation of pesticides that are more effective and safer for life, humans, and the environment. This article aims to express at how nanopesticides are being used in crop protection now and in the future. This review aims to shed some light on the various impacts of agrochemicals, their benefits, and the function of nanopesticide formulations in agriculture.

Abstract
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms that occur in freshwater can produce hazardous cyanotoxins as contaminants that threaten ecosystems, aquatic organisms, and human health. In the present study, the actinobacterium Streptomyces enissocaesilis, strain M35, isolated from soils, exhibited the strongest algicidal activity against the toxic cyanobacterium Phormidium angustissimum TISTR 8247. To improve the P. angustissimum removal efficiency of strain M35, the optimum carbon and nitrogen sources were determined as starch and yeast extract, respectively. Response surface methodology (RSM) using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) revealed that the optimal independent parameters among the culture medium conditions for enhancing the algicidal activity of strain M35 were 21.5 g/L starch, 0.57 g/L yeast extract, and a pH value of 8.00. The Phormidium sp. removal efficiency increased notably from 80.8 to 94.4% under the optimum conditions. In a batch experiment, the removal of P. angustissimum in an internal airlift loop (IAL) bioreactor containing immobilized strain M35 on a plastic medium indicated a high anti-Phormidium activity of 94.8%, whereas in a continuous system, strain M35 exhibited a removal efficiency of 85.5%. This study revealed that this actinobacterium could potentially be utilized to remove the toxic cyanobacterium Phormidium from water.

Abstract
The cause of harmful algal blooms has been a mystery, but research to elucidate its mechanism has progressed over the years thanks to genetic technologies. We have monitored toxic algae and its associated bacteria as a community, the so-called 'holobiont' in Chilean coastal waters for years from the perspective of bacteria as an algal bloom driver. This review describes the challenges of holobiont monitoring, specifically with respect to standardizing and compliance with the monitoring protocols to collect reliable and sustainable data. Further, we suggest adopting the high-throughput sequencing (HTS) standard operating procedure (SOP) by the International Human Microbiome to improve the quality and consistency of holobiont monitoring in the harmful algal world.

Abstract
A novel flocculation strategy for simultaneously removing Microcystis aeruginosa and algal organic matter (AOM) was proposed using chitosan-amphoteric starch (C-A) dual flocculants in an efficient, cost-effective and ecologically friendly way, providing new insights for harmful algal blooms (HABs) control. A dual-functional starch-based flocculant, amphoteric starch (AS) with high anion degree of substitution (DSA) and cation degree of substitution (DSC), was prepared using a cationic moiety of 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTA) coupled with an anion moiety of chloroacetic acid onto the backbone of starch simultaneously. In combination of the results of FTIR, XPS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, GPC, EA, TGA and SEM, it was evidenced that the successfully synthesized AS with excellent structural characteristics contributed to the enhanced flocculation of M. aeruginosa. Furthermore, the novel C-A dual flocculants could achieve not only the removal of >99.3 % of M. aeruginosa, but also the efficacious flocculation of algal organic matter (AOM) at optimal concentration of (0.8:24) mg/L, within a wide pH range of 3-11. The analysis of zeta potential and cellular morphology revealed that the dual effects of both enhanced charge neutralization and notable netting-bridging played a vital role in efficient M. aeruginosa removal.

Abstract
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms occur worldwide and pose a great threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health. The application of algicidal bacteria represents an eco-friendly strategy for controlling harmful cyanobacterial blooms; thus, searching for a high efficiency of algicidal bacteria has been becoming an important and continuous task in science. Herein, we identified a bacterial strain coded Streptomyces sp. HY with a highly algicidal activity, and investigated its algicidal efficiency and mechanism against Microcystis aeruginosa. The strain HY displayed high algicidal activity toward Microcystis aeruginosa cells, with a removal rate of 93.04% within 2 days via indirect attack. Streptomyces sp. HY also showed the ability to lyse several genera of cyanobacterial strains, including Dolichospermum, Pseudanabaena, Anabaena, and Synechocystis, whereas it showed a minor impact on the green alga Scenedesmus obliquus, demonstrating its selectivity specially for targeting cyanobacteria. Its algicidal mechanism involved damages to the photosynthesis system, morphological injury of algal cells, oxidative stress, and dysfunction of the DNA repair system. Furthermore, HY treatment reduced the expression levels of genes (mcyB and mcyD) related to microcystin biosynthesis and decreased the total content of microcystin-leucine-arginine by 79.18%. Collectively, these findings suggested that the algicidal bacteria HY is a promising candidate for harmful cyanobacterial bloom control.

Abstract
Heterosigma akashiwo (H. akashiwo), a harmful algal species, has been a global environmental problem. Extracellular algicidal compounds (EACs) extracted from Bacillus sp. B1 exhibited algicidal effects against H. akashiwo. However, little is known about the algicidal mechanism and metabolic process. In this study, metabolomics and physiological analyses were combined to investigate the cellular responses of H. akashiwo when treated with EACs. The results indicated that EACs at 10% (vEACs/vsample) showed more than 90% inhibition of H. akashiwo. EAC treatment resulted in excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in algal cells, causing stress responses such as inhibition of photosynthetic pigment synthesis, reduction of sugar synthesis, imbalance of osmotic pressure in the cell membrane, disruption of cell size and morphology, and eventual cell death. The results reveal the underlying mechanism of the algicidal process and provide new insights into algae-bacteria interactions and the application of metabolomics to algal research.

Abstract
Efficient biocoagulants/bioflocculants are desired for removal of Microcystis aeruginosa, the dominant harmful bloom-forming cyanobacterium. Herein, we reported cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose (CHEC) inactivated M. aeruginosa cells after forming coagulates and floating-flocculated them with aid of Agrobacterium mucopolysaccharides (AMP) and surfactant. CHEC exhibited cyanocidal activity at 20 mg/L, coagulating 85% of M. aeruginosa biomass within 9 h and decreasing 41% of chlorophyll a after 72 h. AMP acted as an adhesive flocculation aid that accelerated and strengthened the formation of flocs, approaching a maximum in 10 min. Flocs of M. aeruginosa were floated after foaming with cocoamidopropyl betaine (CAB), which facilitated the subsequent filter harvest. 82% of M. aeruginosa biomass was suspended on water surface after treated with the coagulation/flocculation-flotation (CFF) agents containing CHEC (25 mg/L), AMP (177 mg/L) and CAB (0.1 mg/L). All components in CFF agents at the applied concentrations did not inhibit acetylcholinesterase or Vibrio fischeri. Our findings provide new insights in developing bio-based materials for sustainable control of cyanobacterial blooms.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms have raised great concerns due to their adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems and human health. Recently, visible light-driven (VLD) photocatalysis has attracted attention for algae inactivation owing to its unique characteristics of low cost, mechanical stability, and excellent removal efficiency. However, the low utilization of visible light and the high complexation rate of electron-hole (e--h+) pairs are essential drawbacks of conventional photocatalysts. Scientific efforts have been devoted to modifying VLD photocatalysts to enhance their antialgal activity. This review concisely summarizes the anti-algae performance of the latest modified VLD photocatalysts. The summary of the mechanisms in VLD photocatalytic inactivation demonstrates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce oxidative damage to algal cells and photocatalytic degradation of released organic matter. In addition, the factors, such as photocatalyst dosage, algal concentration and species, and the physicochemical properties of different water matrices, such as pH, natural organic matter, and inorganic ions, affecting the efficacy of VLD catalytic oxidation for algae removal are briefly outlined. Thereafter, this review compiles perspectives on the emerging field of VLD photocatalytic inactivation.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) from seawater have a severe threat to human health, aquaculture, and coastal nuclear power safety. Thus, it is highly desirable to explore environmentally friendly, efficient, and economic methods for controlling HABs. Herein, the arbutin-modified cellulose nanocrystals (AT-CNC) activated persulfate (PS), as a novel heterogeneous Fenton-like process, was proposed to remove Phaeocystis globosa (P. globosa) from seawater. The AT-CNC was synthesized via the surface modification of AT on CNC. The effects of AT dosage, CNC dosage, and PS dosage on the removal performance of P. globosa were investigated. With the addition of 530 mg/L AT-CNC (6 wt% AT/CNC of AT loading) and 120 mg/L PS, the removal percentage of chlorophyll a (Rc), optical density at 680 nm (Ro) and turbidity (Rt) reached 97.7%, 91.9% and 85.2% at 24 h. According to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra and radical quenching tests, the predominant free radicals inactivating P. globosa were hydroxyl radicals (•OH). Additionally, the flocculation of the inactivated algae cells by AT-CNC was also critical for removing P. globosa. Moreover, a positive environmental impact was achieved in the AT-CNC-PS system due to the reduction of nitrogen, phosphorus and organic carbon contents. Based on the excellent removal performance for P. globosa, we believe that the AT-CNC activated persulfate is a promising option for HABs control.

Abstract
Actinomycetota in the phylum of bacteria has been explored extensively as a source of antibiotics and secondary metabolites. In addition to acting as plant growth-promoting agents, they also possess the potential to control various plant pathogens; however, there are limited studies that report the facultative predatory ability of Actinomycetota spp. Furthermore, the mechanisms that underline predation are poorly understood. We assessed the diversity of strategies employed by predatory bacteria to attack and subsequently induce the cell lysing of their prey. We revisited the diversity and abundance of secondary metabolite molecules linked to the different predation strategies by bacteria species. We analyzed the pros and cons of the distinctive predation mechanisms and explored their potential for the development of new biocontrol agents. The facultative predatory behaviors diverge from group attack "wolfpack," cell-to-cell proximity "epibiotic," periplasmic penetration, and endobiotic invasion to degrade host-cellular content. The epibiotic represents the dominant facultative mode of predation, irrespective of the habitat origins. The wolfpack is the second-used approach among the Actinomycetota harboring predatory traits. The secondary molecules as chemical weapons engaged in the respective attacks were reviewed. We finally explored the use of predatory Actinomycetota as a new cost-effective and sustainable biocontrol agent against plant pathogens.

An insight into algicidal characteristics of Bacillus altitudinis G3 from dysfunctional photosystem and overproduction of reactive oxygen species. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 310:136767. [PMID: 36241112 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 09/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Cyanobacterial blooms negatively affect aquatic ecosystems and human health. Algicidal bacteria can efficiently kill bloom-causing cyanobacteria. Bacillus altitudinis G3 isolated from Dianchi Lake shows high algicidal activity against Microcystis aeruginosa. In this study, we investigated its algicidal characteristics including attack mode, photosynthesis responses, and source and the contribution of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The results showed that G3 efficiently and specifically killed M. aeruginosa mainly by releasing both thermolabile and thermostable algicidal substances, which exhibited the highest algicidal activity (99.8%, 72 h) in bacterial mid-logarithmic growth phase. The algicidal ratio under full-light conditions (99.5%, 60 h) was significantly higher than under dark conditions (<20%, P < 0.001). G3 filtrate caused photosystem dysfunction by decreasing photosynthetic efficiency, as indicated by significantly decreased Fv/Fm and PIABS (P < 0.001) values. It also inhibited photosynthetic electron transfer as indicated by significantly decreased rETR (P < 0.001), especially QA- downstream, as revealed by significantly decreased φEo and ψo, and increased Mo (P < 0.001). These results indicated that the algicidal activity of G3 filtrate is light-dependent, and the cyanobacterial photosystem is an important target. Cyanobacterial ROS and malondialdehyde contents greatly increased by 37.1% and 208% at 36 h, respectively. ROS levels decreased by 49.2% (9 h) when diuron (3-(3-4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) partially blocked photosynthetic electron transport from QA to QB. Therefore, excessive ROS were produced from disrupted photosynthesis, especially the inhibited electron transport area in QA- downstream, and caused severe lipid peroxidation with significantly increased MDA content and oxidative stress in cyanobacteria. The ROS scavenger N-acetyl-l-cysteine significantly decreased both cyanobacterial ROS levels (34%) and algicidal ratio (52%, P < 0.05) at 39 h. Thus, excessive ROS production due to G3 filtrate administration significantly contributed to its algicidal effect. G3 could be an excellent algicide to control M. aeruginosa blooms in waters under suitable light conditions.

Abstract
Algicidal bacteria can inhibit the growth of algae or lyse algal cells, thus playing roles in shaping aquatic microbial communities and maintaining the functions of aquatic ecosystems. Nevertheless, our understanding of their diversities and distributions remains limited. In this study, we collected water samples from 17 freshwater sites in 14 cities in China and screened a total of 77 algicidal bacterial strains using several prokaryotic cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae as target strains. According to their target-specificities, these strains were classified into three subgroups, cyanobacterial algicidal bacteria, algal algicidal bacteria, and broad-target algicidal bacteria, each displaying distinctive compositions and geographical distribution patterns. They are assigned to Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes bacterial phyla, of which Pseudomonas and Bacillus are the most abundant gram-negative and gram-positive genus, respectively. A number of bacterial strains, such as Inhella inkyongensis and Massilia eburnean, are suggested as new algicidal bacteria. The diverse taxonomies, algal-inhibiting abilities and distributions of these isolates have suggested that there are rich algicidal bacterial resources in these aquatic environments. Our results provide new microbial resources for algal-bacterial interaction studies, and shed new insights into how algicidal bacteria can be used in the control of harmful algal blooms, as well as in algal biotechnology.

Abstract
Margalefidinium polykrikoides causes significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry by red tide formation. Algicidal bacteria have attracted research interests as a potential bloom control approach without secondary pollution. Qipengyuania sp. 3-20A1M, isolated from surface seawater, exerted an algicidal effect on M. polykrikoides. However, it exhibited a significantly lower algicidal activity toward other microalgae. It reduced photosynthetic efficiency of M. polykrikoides and induced lipid peroxidation and cell disruption. The growth inhibition of M. polykrikoides reached 64.9 % after 24 h of co-culturing, and expression of photosynthesis-related genes was suppressed. It killed M. polykrikoides indirectly by secreting algicidal compounds. The algicide was purified and identified as pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid. After 24 h of treatment with pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (20 μg/mL), 60.8 % of the M. polykrikoides cells were destroyed. Overall, our results demonstrated the potential utility of Qipengyuania sp. 3-20A1M and its algicidal compound in controlling M. polykrikoides blooms in the marine ecosystem.

Abstract
To study the allelopathic effect of the extracts of Landoltia punctata, the changes of cell density of Microcystis aeruginosa were measured. The anti-algae allelopathic effect of different organic solvent extracts of L. punctata was evaluated, and the physiological, biochemical indexes were determined to discuss the mechanism of algal inhibition. The results showed that the petroleum ether, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts showed various inhibitory effects on M. aeruginosa. Among them, ethyl acetate extract was the most strongly allelopathic part with the semi-effect concentration(EC50) of 59.6 mg L-1, the central polarity part of inhibitory activity. The contents of chlorophyll a(Chl a) and phycobiliproteins(PBPs) of M. aeruginosa were decreased under the concentration of 200 mg L-1 ethyl acetate extract, which indicated that the photosynthesis of M. aeruginosa was inhibited. The consent of microcystins was lower compared to control under 200 mg L-1. The contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD), malondialdehyde(MDA) and hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) of cell pellets were firstly increased and then decreased, which suggested that the algal cells were seriously damaged by oxidation. The results indicated that the extracts of L. punctata had inhibitory effect on M. aeruginosa, and the ethyl acetate extract was the central part of the inhibitory substances, which affected photosynthesis and caused peroxidation damage to inhibit cell proliferation. These findings will be helpful for exploration and application of allelopathic effects of L. punctata in harmful algae control.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) attracted much attention due to their extensive ecological hazards and the increasing influences on global biogeochemical cycles with the intensification of human impact and global warming. Lysing algal cells with species-specific microbial algicide seemed to be promising to eliminate HABs, but the potential ecotoxicity was rarely studied. In this study, microcosms simulating Heterosigma akashiwo blooms were established to reveal the influences of a microbial algicide from Streptomyces sp. U3 on the biological, physicochemical parameters and bacterial community. The results showed that H. akashiwo bloom accumulated nitrite to a lethal dose, produced bio-labile DOM with widespread influences and enriched pathogenic Coxiella to a high abundance. Lysing H. akashiwo cells by microbial algicide induced a bacterial bloom, eliminated nitrite contamination, enhanced the recalcitrance of DOM, and restored bacterial population from a Gammaproteobacteria-dominant community during bloom back to an Alphaproteobacteria-dominant community similar to the non-bloom seawater. Succession of bacterial genera further suggested that the variation from algal exudates to lysates promoted the restoration of metabolic generalists, which redirected the carbon flow to a less ecologically impactive path. This study revealed the benefits of using microbial algicide to remediate the ecological hazards of HABs, which provided references for future application.

Abstract
It remains unclear whether periphytic biofilms are beneficial to N cycling in paddy fields. Here, based on a national-scale field investigation covering 220 rice fields in China, the N accumulation potential of periphytic biofilms was found to decrease from 8.8 ± 2.4 to 4.5 ± 0.7 g/kg and 3.1 ± 0.6 g/kg with increasing habitat latitude and longitude, respectively. The difference in abundant and rare subcommunities likely accounts for their geo-difference in N accumulation potential. The N cycling pathways involved in periphytic biofilms inferred that soil N and N2 were two potential sources for N accumulation in periphytic biofilms. Meanwhile, some of the accumulated N may be lost via N2 , N2 O, NO, or NH3 outputs. Superficially, periphytic biofilms are double-edged swords to N cycling by increasing soil N through biological N fixation but accelerating greenhouse gas emissions. Essentially, augmented periphytic biofilms increased change of TN (ΔTN) content in paddy soil from -231.9 to 31.9 mg/kg, indicating that periphytic biofilms overall benefit N content enhancement in paddy fields. This study highlights the contribution of periphytic biofilms to N cycling in rice fields, thus, drawing attention to their effect on rice production and environmental security.

Abstract
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) are a global problem with serious consequences for public health and many sectors of the economy. The use of algicidal bacteria as natural antagonists to control bloom-forming cyanobacteria is a topic of growing interest. However, there are still unresolved questions that need to be addressed to better understand their mode of action and to implement effective mitigation strategies. In this study, thirteen bacterial strains isolated from both scums and concentrated bloom samples exhibited algicidal activity on three Microcystis aeruginosa strains with different characteristics: the axenic microcystin (MC)-producing strain M. aeruginosa PCC7820 (MaPCC7820), and two environmental (non-axenic) M. aeruginosa strains isolated from two different water bodies in Poland, one MC-producer (MaSU) and another non-MC-producer (MaPN). The bacterial strain SU7S0818 exerted the highest average algicidal effect on the three cyanobacterial strains. This strain was identified as Morganella morganii (99.51% similarity) by the 16S rRNA gene analyses; hence, this is the first study that demonstrates the algicidal properties of these ubiquitous bacteria. Microscopic cell counting and qPCR analyses showed that M. morganii SU7S0818 removed 91%, 96%, and 98.5% of MaPCC7820, MaSU and MaPN cells after 6 days of co-culture, respectively. Interestingly, the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (UHPLC-MS/MS) analyses showed that this bacterium was involved on the release of several substances with algicidal potential. It was remarkable how the profile of some compounds evolved over time, as in the case of cadaverine, tyramine, cyclo[Pro-Gly] and cyclo[Pro-Val]. These dynamic changes could be attributed to the action of M. morganii SU7S0818 and the presence of associated bacteria with environmental cyanobacterial strains. Therefore, this study sheds light on how algicidal bacteria may adapt their action on cyanobacterial cells by releasing a combination of compounds, which is a crucial insight to exploit them as effective biological tools in the control of cyanoHABs.

Algicidal characteristics of novel algicidal compounds, cyclic lipopeptide surfactins from Bacillus tequilensis strain D8, in eliminating Heterosigma akashiwo blooms. Front Microbiol 2022; 13:1066747. [PMID: 36532506 PMCID: PMC9748430 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1066747] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Heterosigma akashiwo blooms have caused severe damage to marine ecosystems, the aquaculture industry and human health worldwide. In this study, Bacillus tequilensis D8 isolated from an H. akashiwo bloom area was found to exert high algicidal activity via extracellular metabolite production. This activity remained stable after exposure to different temperatures and light intensities. Scanning electron microscopy observation and fluorescein diacetate staining indicated that the algicidal substances rapidly destroyed algal plasma membranes and decreased esterase activity. Significant decreases in the maximum photochemical quantum yield and relative electron transfer rate were observed, which indicated photosynthetic membrane destruction. Subsequently, the algicidal compounds were separated and purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and identified as three surfactin homologues by interpreting high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy data. Among these, surfactin-C13 and surfactin-C14 exhibited strong algicidal activity against three HAB-causing species, namely, H. akashiwo, Skeletonema costatum, and Prorocentrum donghaiense, with 24 h-LC50 values of 1.2-5.31 μg/ml. Surfactin-C15 showed strong algicidal activity against S. costatum and weak algicidal activity against H. akashiwo but little activity against P. donghaiense. The present study illuminates the algicidal characteristics and mechanisms of action of surfactins on H. akashiwo and their potential applicability in controlling harmful algal blooms.

Abstract
Water resources are critically important, but also pose risks of exposure to toxic and pathogenic microbes. Increasingly, a concern is toxic cyanobacteria, which have been linked to the death and disease of humans, domesticated animals, and wildlife in freshwater systems worldwide. Management approaches successful at reducing cyanobacterial abundance and toxin production have tended to be short-term solutions applied on small scales (e.g., algaecide application) or solutions that entail difficult multifaceted investments (e.g., modification of landscape and land use to reduce nutrient inputs). However, implementation of these approaches can be undermined by microbial species interactions that (a) provide toxic cyanobacteria with protection against the method of control or (b) permit toxic cyanobacteria to be replaced by other significant microbial threats. Understanding these interactions is necessary to avoid such scenarios and can provide a framework for novel strategies to enhance freshwater resource management via systems science (e.g., pairing existing physical and chemical approaches against cyanobacteria with ecological strategies such as manipulation of natural enemies, targeting of facilitators, and reduction of benthic occupancy and recruitment). Here, we review pertinent examples of the interactions and highlight potential applications of what is known.

Abstract
Distribution of five heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in molluscan and echinoderm species collected from Kerala and Gulf of Mannar in Southern India is presented. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to determine metal concentrations. Concentrations of metals showed a descending order of Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Cr. Zn and Cu might have originated from both natural and man-made sources. However, Cd, Cr, and Pb could have strong anthropogenic influences such as harbour activities and untreated industrial and agricultural runoff. Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) value of Cd in two edible bivalves from Munambam is slightly greater than one. Regular consumption of Cd-loaded shellfish can cause serious health hazards and concerns to humans. BAF results showed that Zn, Cu, Pb, and Cd were more bioaccumulated and beyond the threshold limits in certain species. It is evident that consumption of shellfish from the Kerala coastal waters may have adverse health impacts to the consumers.

New insights into the production of fucoxanthin by mixotrophic cultivation of Ochromonas and Microcystis aeruginosa. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 363:127922.

Abstract
Fucoxanthin (Fx) has attracted great interest due to its remarkable biological activities such as antioxidant and anti-obesity, and its increasing demands in biopharmaceutical and cosmetic fields. However, its commercial production is limited by low yield and high cost. In this study, we isolated and identified a species of golden algae (Ochromonas sp.) capable of engulfing Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) and accumulating Fx. After 72 h mixotrophic cultivation of Ochromonas sp. and M. aeruginosa, the algal culture changed from green to yellow-brown, and the content of Fx and the daily production rate were up to 11.58 mg g-1, and 1.315 mg L-1 d-1, respectively. The utilization rate of M. aeruginosa was 527.27 fg cell-1. This study will not only provide a new thought to produce Fx in an efficient, low-cost, and sustainable way but an innovative method for the control and treatment of harmful cyanobacterial blooms from eutrophic freshwaters as well.

Abstract
Microcystis blooms pose a major threat to the quality of drinking water. Cyanobactericidal bacteria have attracted much attention in the research community as a vehicle for controlling Microcystis blooms because of their ecological safety. Nonetheless, most studies on cyanobactericidal bacteria have been conducted on a laboratory scale but have not been scaled-up as field experiments. Thus, our understanding of the microbial response to cyanobactericidal bacteria in natural ecosystems remains elusive. Herein, we applied Paucibacter aquatile DH15 to control Microcystis blooms in a 1000 L mesocosm experiment and demonstrated its potential with the following results: (1) DH15 reduced Microcystis cell density by 90.7% within two days; (2) microcystins released by Microcystis death decreased to the control level in four days; (3) during the cyanobactericidal processes, the physicochemical parameters of water quality remained safe for other aquatic organisms; and (4) the cyanobactericidal processes promoted the growth of eukaryotic microalgae, replacing cyanobacteria. The cyanobactericidal processes accelerated turnover rates, decreased stability, and altered the functional profile of the microbial community. Network analysis demonstrated that this process resulted in more complex interactions between microbes. Overall, our findings suggest that strain DH15 could be considered a promising candidate for controlling Microcystis blooms in an eco-friendly manner.
