Abstract
The outbreak of harmful algae blooms caused by water eutrophication seriously jeopardizes the aquatic ecological environment and human health. Therefore, algae control technology has attracted widespread attention between environmental scholars. Allelochemical sustained-release technology which releases the active ingredient to the target medium at a certain rate within the effective time, so that the system maintains a certain concentration, thus prolonging its influence on the target organism. Allelochemical sustained-release technology has become the focus of research due to the characteristics of high efficiency, safety, low-cost, environment friendly and no secondary pollution.

Accumulation patterns of tobacco root allelopathicals across different cropping durations and their correlation with continuous cropping challenges. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1326942. [PMID: 38533406 PMCID: PMC10963442 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1326942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
Introduction Continuous cropping challenges have gradually emerged as pivotal factors limiting the sustainable development of agricultural production. Allelopathicals are considered to be the primary obstacles. However, there is limited information on allelopathic accumulation across various continuous cropping years and its correlation with the associated challenges. Methods Tobacco was subjected to varying planting durations: 1 year (CR), 5 years (CC5), 10 years (CC10), and 15 years (CC15). Results Our findings unveiled discernible disparities in tobacco growth patterns across diverse continuous cropping periods. Notably, the most pronounced challenges were observed in the CC5 category, characterized by yield reduction, tobacco black shank outbreaks, and a decline in beneficial flora. Conversely, CC15 exhibited a substantial reduction in challenges as the continuous cropping persisted with no significant differences when compared to CR. Within the tobacco rhizosphere, we identified 14 distinct allelopathic compounds, with 10 of these compounds displaying noteworthy variations among the four treatments. Redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that eight allelopathic compounds exhibited autotoxic effects on tobacco growth, with MA, heptadecanoic acid, and VA ranking as the most potent inhibitors. Interaction network highlighted the pivotal roles of VA and EA in promoting pathogen proliferation and impeding the enrichment of 13 beneficial bacterial genera. Furthermore, a structural equation model elucidated that MA and EA primarily exert direct toxic effects on tobacco, whereas VA fosters pathogen proliferation, inhibits the enrichment of beneficial bacteria, and synergistically exacerbates the challenges associated with continuous cropping alongside EA. Discussion These findings suggested discernible disparities in tobacco growth patterns across the various continuous cropping periods. The most pronounced challenges were observed in CC5, whereas CC15 exhibited a substantial reduction in challenges as continuous cropping persisted. VA may play a pivotal role in this phenomenon by interacting with pathogens, beneficial bacterial genera, and EA.

Pigmentiphaga kullae CHJ604 improved the growth of tobacco by degrading allelochemicals and xenobiotics in continuous cropping obstacles. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133466. [PMID: 38219583 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.133466] [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: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
Plant autotoxicity is considered to be one of the important causes of continuous cropping obstacles in modern agriculture, which accumulates a lot of allelochemicals and xenobiotics and is difficult to solve effectively. To overcome tobacco continuous obstacles, a strain Pigmentiphaga kullae CHJ604 isolated from the environment can effectively degrade these compounds in this study. CHJ604 strain can degrade 11 types of autotoxicity allelochemicals and xenobiotics (1646.22 μg/kg) accumulated in the soil of ten-years continuous cropping of tobacco. The 11 allelochemicals and xenobiotics significantly reduced Germination Percentage (GP), Germination Index (GI), and Mean Germination Time (MGT) of tobacco seeds, and inhibited the development of leaves, stems, and roots. These negative disturbances can be eliminated by CHJ604 strain. The degradation pathways of 11 allelochemicals and xenobiotics were obtained by whole genome sequence and annotation of CHJ604 strain. The heterologous expression of a terephthalate 1,2-dioxygenase can catalyze 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde, respectively. The phthalate 4,5-dioxygenase can catalyze phthalic acid, diisobutyl phthalate, and dibutyl phthalate. These two enzymes are conducive to the simultaneous degradation of multiple allelochemicals and xenobiotics by strain CHJ604. This study provides new insights into the biodegradation of autotoxicity allelochemicals and xenobiotics as it is the first to describe a degrading bacterium of 11 types of allelochemicals and xenobiotics and their great potential in improving tobacco continuous obstacles.

Identification of algicidal monoterpenoids from four chemotypes of Cinnamomum camphora and their algicidal mechanisms on Microcystis aeruginosa. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 241:117714. [PMID: 37989462 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117714] [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: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
Cyanobacterial blooms cause serious environmental issues, and plant secondary metabolites are considered as new algaecide for controlling them. Cinnamomum camphora produces a wide spectrum of terpenoids and has 4 main chemotypes, including linalool, camphor, eucalyptol and borneol chemotype. To develop the new cyanobacterial algaecide by using suitable chemotype of Cinnamomum camphora and the main terpenoids, we analyzed the terpenoid composition in the 4 chemotype extracts, evaluated the algicidal effects of the extracts and their typical monoterpenoids on Microcystis aeruginosa, and investigated the algicidal mechanism of the stronger algicidal agents. Among the 4 chemotypes, eucalyptol and borneol chemotype extracts exhibited stronger algicidal effects. In the 4 chemotype extracts, monoterpenoids were the main compounds, of which linalool, camphor, eucalyptol and borneol were the typical components. Among the 4 typical monoterpenoids, eucalyptol and borneol showed stronger algicidal effects, which killed 78.8% and 100% M. aeruginosa cells, respectively, at 1.2 mM after 48 h. In 1.2 mM eucalyptol and borneol treatments, the reactive oxygen species levels markedly increased, and the caspase-3-like activity also raised. With prolonging the treatment time, M. aeruginosa cells gradually shrank and wrinkled, and the cell TUNEL fluorescence intensity and DNA degradation gradually enhanced, indicating that the lethal mechanism is causing apoptosis-like programmed cell death (PCD). Therefore, eucalyptol and borneol chemotype extracts and their typical monoterpenoids have the potential for developing as algaecides to control cyanobacteria through triggering apoptosis-like PCD.

Abstract
A new artemisinin sustained-release particle (ASP) was developed that significantly inhibits Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) growth. The physical and chemical properties of ASPs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry (DSC-TG). The results demonstrated that ASPs are thermally stable and have sustained-release properties. On the sixth day, the ASPs (0.2 g L-1) inhibited M. aeruginosa with an inhibition rate (IR) greater than 70%. Additionally, ASPs inhibited M. aeruginosa without increasing microcystin-LR release (MC-LR). This research offers a novel approach to the management of cyanobacterial blooms.

Abstract
Artemisinin (ART) is an endoperoxide molecule derived from the medicinal plant Artemisia annua L. and is clinically used as an antimalarial drug. As a secondary metabolite, the benefit of ART production to the host plant and the possible associated mechanism are not understood. It has previously been reported that Artemisia annua L. extract or ART can inhibit both insect feeding behaviors and growth; however, it is not known whether these effects are independent of each other, i.e., if growth inhibition is a direct outcome of the drug's antifeeding activity. Using the lab model organism Drosophila melanogaster, we demonstrated that ART repels the feeding of larvae. Nevertheless, feeding inhibition was insufficient to explain its toxicity on fly larval growth. We revealed that ART provoked a strong and instant depolarization when applied to isolated mitochondria from Drosophila while exerting little effect on mitochondria isolated from mice tissues. Thus, ART benefits its host plant through two distinct activities on the insect: a feeding-repelling action and a potent anti-mitochondrial action which may underlie its insect inhibitory activities.

Abstract
Artemisinin sustained-release microspheres (ASMs) have been shown to inhibit Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) blooms. Previous studies have focused on inhibitory mechanism of ASMs on the physiological level of M. aeruginosa, but the algal inhibitory mechanism of ASMs has not been comprehensively and profoundly revealed. The study proposed to reveal the toxicity mechanism of ASMs on M. aeruginosa based on transcriptomics and metabolomics. After exposure to 0.2 g·L-1 ASMs for 7 days, M. aeruginosa biomass was significantly inhibited, with an inhibition rate (IR) of 47 % on day 7. Transcriptomic and metabolomic results showed that: (1) 478 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 251 differential metabolites (DMs) were obtained; (2) ASMs inhibited photosynthesis by blocking photosynthetic pigment synthesis, destroying photoreaction centers and photosynthetic carbon reactions; (3) ASMs reduced L-glutamic acid content and blocked glutathione (GSH) synthesis, leading to an imbalance in the antioxidant system; (4) ASM disrupted nitrogen metabolism and the hindered synthesis of various amino acids; (5) ASMs inhibited glyoxylate cycle and TCA cycle. This study provides an important prerequisite for the practical application of ASMs and a new perspective for the management of harmful algal blooms (HABs).

Abstract
Tobacco belongs to the family Solanaceae, which easily forms continuous cropping obstacles. Continuous cropping exacerbates the accumulation of autotoxins in tobacco rhizospheric soil, affects the normal metabolism and growth of plants, changes soil microecology, and severely reduces the yield and quality of tobacco. In this study, the types and composition of tobacco autotoxins under continuous cropping systems are summarized, and a model is proposed, suggesting that autotoxins can cause toxicity to tobacco plants at the cell level, plant-growth level, and physiological process level, negatively affecting soil microbial life activities, population number, and community structure and disrupting soil microecology. A combined strategy for managing tobacco autotoxicity is proposed based on the breeding of superior varieties, and this approach can be combined with adjustments to cropping systems, the induction of plant immunity, and the optimization of cultivation and biological control measures. Additionally, future research directions are suggested and challenges associated with autotoxicity are provided. This study aims to serve as a reference and provide inspirations needed to develop green and sustainable strategies and alleviate the continuous cropping obstacles of tobacco. It also acts as a reference for resolving continuous cropping challenges in other crops.

Abstract
Environment-friendly algaecides based on allelopathy have been widely used to control harmful algal blooms. In this research, micro and nano scale artemisinin sustained-release algal inhibitor was prepared, the optimal preparation conditions were explored, and the inhibitory mechanism of artemisinin algaecides was turned perfect. The results showed that when the particle size of artemisinin sustained-release microspheres (ASMs) was 2/10,000 of artemisinin sustained-release granules (ASGs), the inhibitory effect was more remarkable. The optimal concentration of ASMs was 0.2 g L-1, and the inhibitory effect reached 99% on the 10th day. The algal density and chlorophyll a both showed a downward trend, indicating that ASGs and ASMs could promote the degradation of chlorophyll a. The inhibition rate of ASGs was faster than that of ASMs on the 4th day, and the inhibitory effect of ASMs was more significant after the 5th day. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) increased rapidly at first and then decreased, which indicated that ASGs and ASMs caused oxidative damage to Microcystis aeruginosa and inhibited the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Furthermore, the content of the oxygen free radical (O2-) and malondialdehyde (MDA) continued to rise after the 5th day, and the protein, nucleic acid, and conductivity in the culture medium increased. These results showed that lipid peroxidation occurred in the algal cell membrane, and the permeability of the membrane increased. In summary, the ASMs had a significant sustained inhibitory effect while the ASGs had a better short-term effect. The main inhibitory mechanism of artemisinin algaecides is the irreversible damage of cell membrane.

HARMFUL ALGAE 2022; 117:102272. [PMID: 35944959 DOI: 10.1016/j.hal.2022.102272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, researches on microalgae inhibition with plant-derived active substances have attracted much attention. In this study, the inhibition of six plant-derived alkaloids (neferine, isoliensinine, linensinine, nuciferine, capsaicin, and hordenine) on bloom-forming cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated. The results showed that neferine and nuciferine had stronger inhibition on the growth of M. aeruginosa compared with the other four alkaloids, and the relative inhibition rate reached 91.27% and 88.70% at the concentration of 4.5 mg/L after 7 d of exposure, respectively. Different from neferine, nuciferine has no inhibition on Chlorella sp. and Tetradesmus obliquus. It also increased the diversity and species homogeneity of phytoplankton in the environmental water samples. Nuciferine decreased the contents of chlorophyll a and β-carotene in M. aeruginosa with the extension of treatment time, which was 59.40% and 31.90% of the control at the concentration of 1.04 mg/L after 48 h, respectively. After 48 h of nuciferine exposure, the values of fluorescence parameters including maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm), actual quantum yield of PSII (Yield), non-photochemical quenching (qN and NPQ), and electron transport rates (ETR) of M. aeruginosa cells were significantly decreased and photosynthetic capacity was weakened. The superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbic acid (ASA), and glutathione (GSH) in the cells were significantly reduced, and the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malonaldehyde (MDA) contents continued to accumulate, causing severe oxidative damage. Therefore, the good biological safety and strong specific inhibition of nuciferine makes it have great application prospects in the inhibition of cyanobacteria blooms.

Abstract
The unique and efficient characteristics of allelopathy in submerged plants make it an environmentally friendly method to control harmful algal blooms. Increased research focus has been placed on the improved allelochemical extraction methods of submerged plants because of their cost-utility relationships. In this study, the growth inhibition effect of Vallisneria extract on Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) cells through the combination of enzyme and ultrasonic-assisted extraction method was analyzed. By establishing a co-cultivation experiment, the growth indicators, photosynthetic system, and oxidative stress system of M. aeruginosa were determined. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, as well as the catalase (CAT) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of algal cells were found to have increased significantly after co-cultivation, which indicated that the Vallisneria ultrasonic-cellulase extract could induce oxidative stress in Microcystis aeruginosa cells. The Vallisneria extract could promote at low concentrations and inhibit at high concentrations on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa. The effective suppression of growth of algae cells with the extract was observed at 5 g/L (fresh weight). The results showed that the Vallisneria ultrasonic-cellulase extract had a significant inhibitory effect on M. aeruginosa, making the effective ingredients a useful reference for algae inhibitors.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are detrimental to aquatic ecosystems; thus, economical and practical HAB control methods are needed. We analyzed a microbial community closely related to the alga Karenia mikimotoi, which has HABs that can be toxic to aquatic environments. We studied the relationship between algicidal bacteria and the microbial community of K. mikimotoi culture using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. Bacterial strains Marinobacter sp. (O-7) and Pseudomonas sp. (D-2) were isolated from a K. mikimotoi seawater culture containing a mixed microbial community and determined to have algicidal activity. Both strains produced alga-lysing substances that were toxic to K. mikimotoi. The algicidal extracellular substances produced by D-2 were stable at temperatures ranging from - 80 to 120 °C but sensitive to strong acidic/alkaline conditions. The substances produced by O-7 were inactivated at high temperatures and strong alkaline conditions. Extracellular substances produced by O-7 and D-2 caused K. mikimotoi and Prorocentrum donghaiense cell lysis, but no changes or inhibitory effects occurred in two other chlorophyta groups. O-7 and D-2 exhibited significantly greater algicidal activity during the logarithmic growth phase of K. mikimotoi growth compared to the stationary phase. Culture-independent analysis of the microbial community in association with K. mikimotoi was made using Illumina MiSeq sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Proteobacteria was the dominant bacterial population in the phycosphere of K. mikimotoi, containing Marinobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp.. The Marinobacter was abundant and accounted for 5.3% of the total. Our results indicate that certain bacterial species from K. mikimotoi culture might be effective for removal of HABs.

Algicidal effect of tryptoline against Microcystis aeruginosa: Excess reactive oxygen species production mediated by photosynthesis. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 806:150719.

Abstract
Cyanobacterial blooms significantly decrease water quality and can damage ecosystems and, as such, require efficient control methods. Algicidal bacteria and their associated substances are promising tools for controlling cyanobacterial blooms; however, their specific algicidal mechanisms remain unclear. Therefore, the current study sought to investigate the algicidal mechanism of tryptoline (1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9 h-pyrido[3,4-b]indole) against Microcystis aeruginosa, with a specific focus on the contribution made by reactive oxygen species (ROS), the underlying mechanisms of ROS increase, as well as the photosystem response. Results show that the algicidal ratio of tryptoline significantly and positively correlates with algal ROS. Moreover, 93.79% of the algicidal ratio variation is attributed to ROS in the tryptoline group, while only 47.75% can be attributed to ROS in the tryptoline + N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) group, where ROS are partially scavenged by NAC. In the presence of tryptoline, algicidal effect and ROS levels were significantly enhanced in the presence of light as compared to those in the dark (P < 0.001). Hence, the increase in ROS production attributed to tryptoline is primarily affected by the presence of light and photosynthesis. Additionally, tryptoline significantly reduces Fv/Fm, PIABS, ETo/RC, and the expression of psaB and psbA genes related to photosynthesis, while increasing Vj and DIo/RC (P < 0.05). These results suggest that tryptoline hinders algal photosynthesis by significantly decreasing photosynthetic efficiency and carbon assimilation, inhibiting photochemical electron transfer, and increasing closed reaction centers and energy loss. Moreover, following partial blockade of the photosynthetic electron transfer from QA to QB by diuron (3-(3-4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea), the ROS of algae exposed to tryptoline is significantly decreased. Thus, tryptoline inhibits electron transfer downstream of QA, which increase the number of escaping electron and thereby increase ROS generation. Collectively, this study describes the algicidal mechanism of tryptoline against M. aeruginosa and highlights the critical factors associated with induction of algicidal activity.

Abstract
Simple Summary Due to the frequent outbreaks of cyanobacteria bloom worldwide, research on novel algicides has attracted more and more attention. At present, allelochemicals have been reported as promising natural algicides. However, current studies mainly focus on the parent compounds, and the structural modification of original allelochemicals has been rarely involved. In this study, phenolic acid derivatives were innovatively synthesized as potential algicides, and lead compounds with excellent activity were found. For instance, upon the algicidal activity on Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, the EC50 of the best active compound 18 reached 0.63 µM (0.17 mg/L), while the EC50 values of previously reported allelochemicals have been basically at the mg/L level. The result indicates that the algicides reported in this study are more efficient at inhibiting cyanobacteria with lower effective concentrations than most previously reported compounds. Moreover, 3D-QSAR models were constructed and provided a theoretical guidance for further structure optimization of compounds to achieve better algicidal activity. Abstract Cyanobacteria bloom caused by water eutrophication has threatened human health and become a global environmental problem. To develop green algicides with strong specificity and high efficiency, three series of ester and amide derivatives from parent allelochemicals of caffeic acid (CA), cinnamic acid (CIA), and 3-hydroxyl-2-naphthoic acid (HNA) were designed and synthesized. Their inhibitory effects on the growth of five harmful cyanobacterial species, Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), Microcystis wesenbergii (M. wesenbergii), Microcystis flos-aquae (M. flos-aquae), Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (Ap. flos-aquae), and Anabaena flos-aquae (An. flos-aquae), were evaluated. The results revealed that CIA esters synthesized by cinnamic acid and fatty alcohols showed the best inhibition effect, with EC50 values ranging from 0.63 to >100 µM. Moreover, some CIA esters exhibited a good selectivity in inhibiting cyanobacteria. For example, the inhibitory activity of naphthalen-2-yl cinnamate was much stronger on Ap. flos-aquae (EC50 = 0.63 µM) than other species (EC50 > 10 µM). Three-dimensional quantitative structure–activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis was performed and the results showed that the steric hindrance of the compounds influenced the algicidal activity. Further mechanism study found that the inhibition of CIA esters on the growth of M. aeruginosa might be related to the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA).

Abstract
With the increasing eutrophication of the aquatic environments, cyanobacteria blooms caused certain damage to the animals and plants in the aquatic environments. In this experiment, two species were selected from six species of submerged macrophytes, the experimental conditions were changed to achieve the best inhibitory effect on Microcystis aeruginosa, and oxidative damage analysis was carried out. The experiment results demonstrated that the inhibition rate of Vallisneria natans and Ceratophyllum demersum was nearly 100% at the concentration of 3 g/L after 15 days of anaerobic soaking extract. In addition, the longer the soaking time of the two submerged macrophytes, the weaker the photosynthesis effect, and the lower the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, the more obvious the inhibition effect on M. aeruginosa. Lipid peroxidation injury of M. aeruginosa could be reflected by malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration. The MDA concentration in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group. Results showed that V. natans and C. demersum could induce oxidative damage in M. aeruginosa. It was also observed that the secondary metabolites produced by V. natans were mainly fatty acids (e.g., the oxidative acid was 6.92 w/%, and the successful acid was 9.85 w/%) which inhibited M. aeruginosa in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main secondary metabolites in C. demersum were hydroxyl acids (e.g., the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetic acid was 24.33 w/%), which could inhibit the algae through allelopathy. This study provided reference for submerged macrophytes to inhibit M. aeruginosa under different conditions.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of an allelochemical artemisinin extracted from Artemisia annua (A. annua) on cell growth, death mode, and microcystin-LR (MC-LR) changes of Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), a series of morphological and biochemical characteristics were studied. The results showed that artemisinin could inhibit the growth of M. aeruginosa and reduce the content of phycobiliprotein. Under the allelopathy of artemisinin, algae cells deformed due to swelling, which caused cell membranes to rupture and cell contents to leak. FDA/PI double-staining results showed that 15.10-94.90% of algae cells experienced the death mode of necrosis-like. Moreover, there were 8.35-14.50% of algae cells undergoing programmed cell death, but their caspase-3-like protease activity remained unchanged, which may mean that algae cells were not experiencing caspase-dependent apoptosis under artemisinin stress. Attacked by artemisinin directly, both intracellular and extracellular MC-LR increased sharply with the upregulation of mcyB, mcyD, and mcyH. The upregulation multiple of mcyH suggested that M. aeruginosa could accelerate transportation of algal toxin under adverse conditions of artemisinin. Artemisinin not only can inhibit the growth of M. aeruginosa but it also causes the accelerated release and increase of microcystin-LR. These imply that the application of artemisinin should be reconsidered in practical water bodies.

Abstract
The inhibitory mechanisms of artemisinin anti-algae sustained-release granules (AASG) on algal cells at cytoplasmic level were investigated. The results showed that 0.2 g L-1 AASG could effectively inhibit the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa (M.aeruginosa). The stress of 0.2 g L-1 AASG changed the excitation energy distribution pattern of Photosystem II (PSII) of algal cells, which showed the increase of heat dissipation share and the inhibition of physiological activities related to PSII. At the same time, AASG induced a large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which aggravated the membrane lipid peroxidation and caused serious damage to algae cell membrane. AASG also resulted in the decrease of esterase activity and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) in algal cells. Results showed that AASG inhibited algal growth by exerting adverse effects on PSII, ROS and metabolic activity of M.aeruginosa.

Abstract
The marine bacterium, Bacillus sp. SY-1, produced algicidal compounds that are notably active against the bloom-forming alga Cochlodinium polykrikoides. We isolated three algicidal compounds and identified these as mycosubtilins with molecular weights of 1056, 1070, and 1084 (designated MS 1056, 1070, and 1084, respectively), based on amino acid analyses and 1H, 13C, and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, including 1H-15N heteronuclear multiple bond correlation analysis. MS 1056 contains a β-amino acid residue with an alkyl side chain of C15, which has not previously been seen in known mycosubtilin families. MS 1056, 1070, and 1084 showed algicidal activities against C. polykrikoides with 6-h LC50 values of 2.3 ± 0.4, 0.8 ± 0.2, and 0.6 ± 0.1 μg/ml, respectively. These compounds also showed significant algicidal activities against other harmful algal bloom species. In contrast, MS 1084 showed no significant growth inhibitory effects against other organisms, including bacteria and microalgae, although does inhibit the growth of some fungi and yeasts. These observations imply that the algicidal bacterium Bacillus sp. SY-1 and its algicidal compounds could play an important role in regulating the onset and development of harmful algal blooms in natural environments.

Abstract
Harmful algae blooms posing serious threats to the ecological environment occur frequently across the world. Multi-species algicidal bacteria were enriched by utilizing immobilized carriers in a pilot scale experiment, which significantly promoted the effect of algal control in the reactors. Under the optimal condition, the algicidal ratio and chlorophyll a degradation rate reached 87.69% and 47.00 μg/(L·d), respectively. The growth of Cyanophyta, diatom, Dinoflagellate and Cryptophyta was inhibited significantly by the joint action of algicidal bacteria and light shading of fillers, accounting for 53.74% and 36.47%, respectively. The results of 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing suggested algicidal bacteria (10.17%) belonging to 13 genera were enriched. Among the algicidal process, Bacillus and Pseudomonas played crucial roles. Fluorescence spectroscopy and UV254 were adopted to assess the release of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and the precursors of disinfection by-products (DBPs). Two efficient algicidal strains (C1, C4) were isolated which showed high homology with Enterobacter asburiae JCM6051(T) and Pseudomonas simiae oli(T), respectively. This study provided new insights into the in-situ bioremediation of eutrophication in fresh water.

Abstract
Colony formation in Microcystis aeruginosa played important roles in blooms formation. To study the effects of plant allelopathy on colony formation in M. aruginosa, unicellular M. aeruginosa was cultivated under laboratory conditions treated with various extract concentration of Carex cinerascens. The growth of M. aeruginosa in the treatments with 0.05 and 0.1 mg L-1 extract of C. cinerascens was promoted but the growth in the treatments with 1.5, 3.0, and 6.0 mg L-1 C. cinerascens extract was inhibited. Obvious colony formation in M. aeruginosa was observed in all treatments while no colony formation was detected in the control. The cell number per colony at the first day was the largest and decreased along with culture time. The cell number per colony in the control ranged from 3.0 to 4.0 during the experiment. However, the values in the five treatments at the first day were 33, 80, 58, 41, and 30, respectively. A positive exponential relationship between cell number per colony of M. aeruginosa and extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) content was found as well. Compared the fold-increase in cell number per colony and the fold-increase in total biomass of M. aeruginosa at various day, it was found that colony formation induced by extract of C. cinerascens was primarily dependent on promotion of cell adhesion during the first 2 days. The cell number per colony decreased afterward was due to the increasing proportion of single cells in the culture because single cells had a great higher growth rate than M. aeruginosa colonies under culture condition. Our results suggested that plant allelopathy be one of the major factor contributing to colony formation in M. aeruginosa.

Abstract
With its advantages of ecological safety, environmental affinity, and high selectivity, allelopathic technology has been widely developed for algae inhibition. However, obtaining effective allelochemicals and realizing their mechanism are difficult. In this paper, a Chinese herbal medicine, namely, Rheum palmatum L. (Chinese rhubarb), was utilized as a source of allelopathic substances for the first time. Four units of rhubarb organic extracts were collected to study the inhibition of growth, photosynthesis, proteins, and algal toxin of Microcystis aeruginosa. Results showed that the ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and aqueous phases of the rhubarb extracts have notable inhibitory effects. After a 16-day treatment, the four extracts reduced M. aeruginosa by 64.1%, 59.3%, 61.9%, and 7.2% with disruption of algal photosynthesis and protein synthesis and reduction of algal toxin.

Abstract
The application of natural compounds extracted from seaweeds is a promising eco-friendly alternative solution for harmful algae control in aquatic ecosystems. In the present study, the anti-cyanobacterial activity of three Moroccan marine macroalgae essential oils (EOs) was tested and evaluated on unicellular Microcystis aeruginosa cyanobacterium. Additionally, the possible anti-cyanobacterial response mechanisms were investigated by analyzing the antioxidant enzyme activities of M. aeruginosa cells. The results of EOs GC-MS analyses revealed a complex chemical composition, allowing the identification of 91 constituents. Palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid were the most predominant compounds in Cystoseira tamariscifolia, Sargassum muticum, and Ulva lactuca EOs, respectively. The highest anti-cyanobacterial activity was recorded for Cystoseira tamariscifolia EO (ZI = 46.33 mm, MIC = 7.81 μg mL-1, and MBC = 15.62 μg mL-1). The growth, chlorophyll-a and protein content of the tested cyanobacteria were significantly reduced by C. tamariscifolia EO at both used concentrations (inhibition rate >67% during the 6 days test period in liquid media). Furthermore, oxidative stress caused by C. tamariscifolia EO on cyanobacterium cells showed an increase of the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration was significantly elevated after 2 days of exposure. Overall, these experimental findings can open a promising new natural pathway based on the use of seaweed essential oils to the fight against potent toxic harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs).

Abstract
Over the last decades, Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms (HCBs) represent one of the most conspicuous hazards to human health in freshwater ecosystems, due to the uses of the water for drinking, recreation and aquaculture. Cyanobacteria are one of the main biological components in freshwater ecosystems and they may proliferate in nutrients rich ecosystems causing severe impacts at different levels. Therefore, several methods have been applied to control cyanobacterial proliferation, including physical, chemical and biological strategies. However, the application of those methods is generally not very efficient. Research on an eco-friendly alternative leading to the isolation of new bioactive compounds with strong impacts against harmful cyanobacteria is a need in the field of water environment protection. Thus, this paper aims to give an overview of harmful cyanobacterial blooms and reviews the state of the art of studying the activities of biological compounds obtained from plants, seaweeds and microorganisms in the cyanobacterial bloom control.

Abstract
The inhibition of cyanobacteria growth by allelochemicals, which controls harmful algal blooms has been examined in many studies. The objective of this work was to compare the efficiencies of different allelochemicals and determine a mixing proportion corresponding to the highest algae inhibiting activity and smallest adverse effect. The obtained results demonstrated that artemisinin, nonanoic acid, malonic acid, and ethyl acetate inhibited algal growth more efficiently than D-menthol and lactic acid. Synergies were observed in five groups of allelochemical combinations with inhibition ratios exceeding 80%, and the concentrations of extracellular microcystin-LR in the groups with high algal inhibition ratios were lower than that in the control group on the 7th day. No changes in extracellular polymeric substances compositions were detected after treatment. The permanganate indices of the treated groups were higher than that of the control group; however, this disparity gradually decreased with time. In addition, a sharp decrease in the concentration of dissolved inorganic phosphorus was observed for all treated groups. From the obtained data, the optimal proportion of mixed allelochemicals corresponding to 3.94 mg L−1 of artemisinin, 6.27 mg L−1 of nonanoic acid, 8.2 mg L−1 of malonic acid, and 6.38 mg L−1 of ethyl acetate was suggested.

Abstract
Artemisinin sustained-release microspheres (ASMs) with long-term inhibition effects (> 40 days) on harmful freshwater bloom-forming cyanobacteria have been found in previous studies, but the inhibition mechanism is not completely clear. In the present study, we examined the growth effect of ASMs on Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) cells at different physiological stages. Growth experiments indicated that M. aeruginosa of different initial densities could be inhibited immediately and chlorophyll-a content both showed significant decreases following exposure of cyanobacteria to optimal dosage of ASMs for 20 days. The algicidal mechanism of ASMs was tested through a suite of physiological parameters (membrane permeability, antioxidant enzymes activity, and lipid peroxidation). The rise of cell membrane permeability indices (intracellular protein, nucleic acid contents, and conductivity) showed that the cellular membrane structure of M. aeruginosa was attacked by ASMs directly causing the leakage of cytoplasm. Antioxidant enzyme activity was a sensitive indicator of the impacts of ASMs which showed a significant downtrend after a few days. ASMs caused a great increase in •O2- and malondialdehyde (MDA) level of the algal cells which indicated the increase in lipid peroxidation of M. aeruginosa. Irreversible membrane damage induced by ASMs via the oxidation of ROS may be an important factor responsible for the algicidal mechanism of ASMs on M. aeruginosa cells. The application of ASMs might provide a new direction to control M. aeruginosa, especially before the exponential phase according to the optimal economy and inhibition effect. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occur all over the world, producing severely negative effects on human life as well as on marine ecosystems. The algicidal compound, prodigiosin, secreted by algicidal bacteria Hahella sp. KA22 can lyse the harmful alga Heterosigma akashiwo. This study is aimed to investigate the algicidal mechanism of prodigiosin against H. akashiwo by detecting physiological and morphological responses of H. akashiwo to presence of prodigiosin. The results indicated that prodigiosin showed strong algicidal effects on H. akashiwo at the concentration of 3 μg/mL. Chlorophyll a and protein levels of the microalgae decreased significantly while malonaldehyde levels increased at this concentration. Contents of ascorbic acid and activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase increased fast with the quick decrease of the reactive oxygen species (ROS). For the 3 μg/mL prodigiosin treatment group, transcription of genes related to photosynthesis and respiration were significantly inhibited at 12 h while respiration related genes increased at 24 h. Collectively, the results indicated that prodigiosin could kill the microalgae by inducing ROS overproduction which could destroy the cell integrity and change the antioxidant system levels and functional gene expression. Our results demonstrated that prodigiosin is an effective algicide for the control of harmful algae.

[PMID: 31927195 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2020.110180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2019] [Revised: 01/02/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This paper studied the allelopathic effect of Cylindrotheca closterium on the growth of Prorocentrum donghaiense, the model of harmful algal blooms in aquatic environment, by the co-culture tests and bioassay-guided fraction methods. The growth of P. donghaiense in co-cultures was observably suppressed by C. closterium, and P. donghaiense biomass in C/P = 3: 1 group increased slowly with a low growth rate of 0.18 d-1 after 4 days. Petroleum ether (PE) extract derived from C. closterium filtrates was isolated by C18 column and the allelopathy of all isolated fractions for P. donghaiense was investigated. After 96 h cultivation, the inhibition ratio of PE-Ⅲ and PE-Ⅷ fractions on P. donghaiense could reach up to 70.2% and 64.3% at the concentration of 10-fold when compared to control, while the other fractions displayed relatively low inhibitory effects on P. donghaiense. PE-Ⅲ and PE-Ⅷ fractions also decreased the chlorophyll content and maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) of P. donghaiense cells. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of antioxidant enzymes, reduced around 8.3% and 13.7% following exposure to 2-fold PE-Ⅲ and PE-Ⅷ, and was significantly decreased following higher exposure concentrations. After 96 h of 10-fold PE-Ⅲ and PE-Ⅷ treatments, Catalase (CAT) activity reduced to 44.86% and 46.42% of that observed in the control group. At the same time, a significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) contents was observed. These findings suggested that PE-Ⅲ and PE-Ⅷ fractions contained main allelochemicals and possibly acted as promising algistatic agents for emergency handling of P. donghaiense blooms.

Abstract
Microcystis blooms and their secondary metabolites microcystins (MCs) occurred all over the world, which have damaged aquatic ecosystems and threatened public health. Techniques to reduce the Microcystis blooms and MCs are urgently needed. This study aimed to investigate the algicidal and inhibitory mechanisms of a red pigment prodigiosin (PG) against the growth and MC-producing abilities of Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa). The numbers of Microcystis cells were counted under microscope. The expression of microcystin synthase B gene (mcyB) and concentrations of MCs were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods, respectively. The inhibitory effects of PG against M. aeruginosa strain FACHB 905 with 50% algicidal concentration (LC50) at 120 h was 0.12 μg/mL. When M. aeruginosa cells exposed to 0.08 μg/mL, 0.16 μg/mL, 0.32 μg/mL PG, the expression of mcyB of M. aeruginosa was down-regulated 4.36, 8.16 and 18.51 times lower than that of the control at 120 h. The concentrations of total MC (TMC) also were 1.66, 1.72 and 5.75 times lower than that of the control at 120 h. PG had high algicidal effects against M. aeruginosa, with the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) initially increased and then decreased after 72 h, the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) increase, the expression of mcyB gene down-regulation, and MCs synthesis inhibition. This study was first to report the PG can simultaneously lyse Microcystis cells, down-regulate of mcyB expression and inhibit MCs production effectively probably due to oxidative stress, which indicated PG poses a great potential for regulating Microcystis blooms and MCs pollution in the environment.

Abstract
Berberine is a potent algicidal allelochemical of Microcystis aeruginosa. To optimize its application in the control of Microcystis blooms, the effects of berberine on the growth and photosynthetic activities of M. aeruginosa and a non-target green alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, were compared. The results showed that the algicidal activity of berberine on M. aeruginosa was light dependent. Berberine had no algicidal effects on C. pyrenoidosa with or without light exposure. Under light-dark conditions, berberine significantly decreased the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in M. aeruginosa while no significant berberine-induced changes were observed under constant darkness. Significant reductions of photosystem II (PSII) and whole chain electron transport activities in M. aeruginosa exposed to berberine suggested that PSII was the important target site attacked by berberine. Contrary to M. aeruginosa, no berberine-induced inhibition in photosynthesis activities were observed in C. pyrenoidosa. The differences in photosynthetic apparatuses of these two algae might be responsible for their different sensitivities to berberine.

Abstract
Allelopathy between algae is an ecological strategy that can facilitate or inhibit the occurrence of algal blooms. The role of allelopathic effects of marine microalgae Cylindrotheca closterium in other phytoplankton population dynamics are still limited. In the current study, the effects of cell-free filtrates of diatom Cylindrotheca closterium on two common dinoflagellates (Prorocentrum donghaiense and Prorocentrum cordatum), a chrysophyceae (Isochrysis galbana) and a diatom (Chaetoceros curvisetus) were investigated within controlled laboratory experiments. It was observed that the growth of P. donghaiense was significantly suppressed and approximately 80% cells disappeared after 8-d exposure, while the other three algae was less sensitive. P. donghaiense was very sensitive to the exudates of C. closterium from the stationary phase by comparing various percentage (10, 30, 50, 70 and 100%) of filtrates. In addition, the allelopathic effects of extracellular compounds of C. closterium extracted by three different organic solvents (ethyl acetate, chloroform and petroleum ether) on P. donghaiense were explored by determining cell density, chlorophyll content and maximum photosystem II (PSII) quantum yield (Fv/Fm). It was found that the compounds extracted by ethyl acetate and chloroform appeared to exhibit less toxicity on P. donghaiense than that of petroleum ether. The present results indicated that the allelochemicals released by C. closterium might be concentrated effectively in the petroleum ether extraction phase, which provided a new perspective for controlling the red tides of P. donghaiense in the East China Sea by means of the ecological inhibitors extracted.

Abstract
Plant allelochemicals effectively inhibit and/ or control algal growth, and have potential to use as algaecide. To uncover the lethal mechanism of 2 anti-algal compounds linalool and α-terpineol identified from Cinnamomum camphora extracts, and promote their development as algaecide, the H2O2 production, photosynthetic abilities, caspase-like activities, nuclear changes and DNA degradation were investigated in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii treated with the 2 compounds. H2O2 content burst in linalool treatment at 0.5 h and in α-terpineol treatment at 1 h, with increases of 2.7 folds and 1.3 folds, respectively, compared to that at 0 h. The photosynthetic pigments gradually degraded, and Fv/Fm gradually declined to zero, indicating that the cell death was not a necrosis due to the gradual disappearance of physiological process. In C. reinhardtii cells, the caspase-9-like and caspase-3-like were activated in the treatments with the 2 compounds for 1 h. With prolonging the treatment time, the fluorescent intensity of the cell nucleuses stained by DAPI gradually enhanced and then faded, and the genomic DNA isolated from the cells gradually degraded. These hallmarks indicated that the death of C. reinhardtii cells in linalool and α-terpineol treatments was a programmed cell death (PCD) triggered by the increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). Compared to α-terpineol treatment, linalool treatment showed stronger promoting effects on PCD at the same time point, which may be caused by the higher ROS content inducing higher caspase-9-like and caspase-3-like activities in a short time.

Abstract
Plant allelochemicals are considered as the source of effective, economic and friendly-environmental algaecides. To uncover the anti-algal activities of Cinnamomum camphora fresh leaves and their main algicidal agents, we investigated the inhibitory effects of water and methanol extracts from C. camphora fresh leaves on Microcystis aeruginosa and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell growth, analyzed the composition of the water and methanol extracts, and determined the main compounds in extracts on the growth of the two algae and their anti-algal mechanism from photosynthetic abilities. Water and methanol extracts from C. camphora fresh leaves can inhibit M. aeruginosa and C. reinhardtii cell growth, and methanol extracts showed stronger inhibitory effects, due to their more compounds and higher molar concentration. There were 23 compounds in the water extracts, mainly including terpenoids, esters, alcohols, and ketones. Compared to the water extracts, 9 new compounds were detected in the methanol extracts, and the molar concentration of total compounds in methanol extracts increased by 1.3 folds. Camphor, α-terpineol and linalool were 3 main compounds in the water and methanol extracts. Their mixture (1: 3: 6) and individual compound showed remarkable inhibition on M. aeruginosa and C. reinhardtii cell growth. The degradation of photosynthetic pigments and the reduction of maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry, coefficient of photochemical quenching as well as apparent electron transport rate in C. reinhardtii cells aggravated gradually with increasing the concentration of the mixture and individual compound, while the non-photochemical dissipation of absorbed light energy increased gradually, which led to the decline of photosynthetic abilities. This indicated that camphor, α-terpineol and linalool were 3 main algicidal agents in C. camphora fresh leaf extracts, and they inhibited algal growth by inducing photosynthetic pigment degradation and declining PSII efficiency. Therefore, C. camphora fresh leaf extracts and their main components have potential utilization values as algaecides.

Abstract
Natural allelochemicals are considered as a source of algaecides. To uncover the anti-algal activity of Cinnamomum camphora fallen leaves and promote their usage as algaecides, the composition of their water and methanol extracts was analyzed, and the inhibitory effects of extracts on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and chlorophyll (Chl) content and photosynthetic abilities in C. reinhardtii were investigated. Twenty-five compounds were detected in the water extracts, mainly including terpenoids, esters, alcohols, and ketones. Compared to water extracts, there were more compounds and higher concentration in methanol extracts. Both water and methanol extracts inhibited the growth of the two algae, and 15 mg·ml-1 methanol extracts killed the algal cells after 48 h. The levels of Chl a and Chl b, as well as maximum quantum yield of photosystem II photochemistry (Fv/Fm) in C. reinhardtii cells reduced gradually with increasing the concentration of extracts, while the maximum quantum yield of non-photochemical de-excitation (φDO) increased gradually. At the same concentration, methanol extracts showed stronger inhibitory effects than water extracts, due to their higher number of compounds and higher concentration. Therefore, C. camphora fallen leaves have a potential value as an algaecide.

Abstract
In this study, immobilization technique was employed to improve simultaneous algicidal and denitrification of immobilized Acinetobacter sp. J25 with magnetic Fe3O4 in eutrophic landscape water. After 7 days of operation, the maximum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (54.43 U mg-1), nitrate removal efficiency (100% (0.2127 mg L-1 h-1)), and chlorophyll-a removal efficiency (89.71%) were obtained from the immobilized J25 with magnetic Fe3O4. The results suggest that immobilized J25 with magnetic Fe3O4 had better nitrogen removal efficiency and algicidal activity in eutrophic landscape water. High-throughput sequencing data profiled the strain J25 that was immobilized with magnetic Fe3O4 which changed the composition of the microbial community. The results indicated a novel concept of enhancing the algicidal and denitrification property of immobilized bacteria with magnetic Fe3O4 in eutrophic landscape water.

Abstract
Marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is known to exude allelochemicals with negative effects on Heterosigma akashiwo according to our previous study, while the information about the allelochemical compounds remains unknown. The present study dealt with isolation and analysis of the active substances released by P. tricornutum into the culture medium. Filtrate of P. tricornutum was extracted using ethyl acetate and chloroform respectively. The anti-algal fractions were isolated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and screened using activity-guided fraction methods. Results demonstrated that fraction Ⅱ and Ⅵ showed significant allelopathic effect on H. akashiwo growth. Then the anti-algal activity fractions were analyzed preliminary using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS). An active compound was derived from fraction Ⅵ with the molecular weight of 578 and possible molecular formula of C30H38N6O6, which was speculated to be TYR-PRO-PHE-PRO-GLY-NH2. a kind of glycinamides.

PLoS One 2016; 11:e0164842. [PMID: 27755566 PMCID: PMC5068738 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0164842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2016] [Accepted: 10/01/2016] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Increased eutrophication in the recent years has resulted in considerable research focus on identification of methods for preventing cyanobacterial blooms that are rapid and efficient. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of dihydroartemisinin and artemether on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa and to elucidate its mode of action. Variations in cell density, chlorophyll a, soluble protein, malondialdehyde, extracellular alkaline phosphatase activity (APA), and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, ΦPSII, ETR, rapid light curves, fast chlorophyll fluorescence curves on fluorescence intensity, and relative variable fluorescence) were evaluated by lab-cultured experiments. Our results demonstrated that both dihydroartemisinin and artemether inhibited the growth of M.aeruginosa by impairing the photosynthetic center in photosystem II and reducing extracellular APA, with a higher sensitivity exhibited toward artemether. The inhibitory effects of dihydroartemisinin on M.aeruginosa increased with concentration, and the maximum growth inhibitory rate was 42.17% at 24 mg·L-1 after 120h exposure, whereas it was 55.72% at 6 mg·L-1 artemetherafter 120h exposure. Moreover, the chlorophyll fluorescence was significantly inhibited (p<0.05) after 120h exposure to 12 and 24 mg·L-1 dihydroartemisinin. Furthermore, after 120h exposure to 6 mg·L-1 artemether, Fv/Fm, ΦPSII, ETR and rETRmax showed a significant decrease (p<0.01) from initial values of 0.490, 0.516, 17.333, and 104.800, respectively, to 0. One-way analysis of variance showed that 6 mg·L-1 artemether and 24 mg·L-1 dihydroartemisinin had significant inhibitory effects on extracellular APA (p<0.01). The results of this study would be useful to further studies to validate the feasibility of dihydroartemisinin and artemether treatment to inhibit overall cyanobacterial growth in water bodies, before this can be put into practice.

Abstract
The effects of five natural products from Chinese herbs including evodiamine, curcumin, 4-methoxysalicylaldehyde, esculin hydrate, and gramine on the growth of Chattonella marina, one of the most noxious red tide algae, were observed. Among them, gramine exhibited the highest inhibitory rate with LC50, 96h of 0.51 mg/l. After exposure to gramine, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) increased in C. marina, suggesting that gramine could induce microalgae oxidative stress. In addition, chlorophyll a and the maximum quantum yield of photosynthesis (Fv/Fm) decreased following exposure to gramine, indicating the inhibition of photosynthesis activity in the microalgae. Combined with the fast inhibition against the algal cells and environmentally friendly character of gramine, we proposed that gramine might be a potential algaecide against marine harmful algae and that the oxidative damage and photosynthesis inhibition might be responsible for the toxicity of gramine on harmful algae.

Abstract
Phaeocystis globosa blooms can have negative effects on higher trophic levels in the marine ecosystem and consequently influence human activities. Strain KA22, identified as the bacterium Hahella, was isolated from coastal surface water and used to control P. globosa growth. A methanol extract from the bacterial cells showed strong algicidal activity. After purification, the compound showed a similar structure to prodigiosin when identified with Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The compound showed algicidal activity against P. globosa with a 50% Lethal Dose (LD50) of 2.24 μg/mL. The prodigiosin was stable under heat and acid environment, and it could be degraded under alkaline environment and natural light condition. The growth rates of strain KA22 was fast in 2216E medium and the content of prodigiosin in this medium was more than 70 μg/mL after 16 h incubation. The compound showed particularly strong algicidal activity against Prorocentrum donghaiense, P. Globosa, and Heterosigma akashiwo, but having little effect on three other phytoplankton species tested. The results of our research could increase our knowledge on harmful algal bloom control compound and lead to further study on the mechanisms of the lysis effect on harmful algae.

Abstract
Aim: Bacteria associated with harmful algal blooms can play a crucial role in regulating algal blooms in the environment. This study aimed at isolating and identifying algicidal bacteria in Dinoflagellate culture and to determine the optimum growth requirement of the algicidal bacteria, Loktanella sp. Gb-03. Materials and Methods: The Dinoflagellate culture used in this study was supplied by Professor Gires Usup's Laboratory, School of Environmental and Natural Resources Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia. The culture was used for the isolation of Loktanella sp., using biochemical tests, API 20 ONE kits. The fatty acid content of the isolates and the algicidal activity were further evaluated, and the phenotype was determined through the phylogenetic tree. Results: Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, short rod-shaped, aerobic bacteria (Gb01, Gb02, Gb03, Gb04, Gb05, and Gb06) were isolated from the Dinoflagellate culture. The colonies were pink in color, convex with a smooth surface and entire edge. The optimum growth temperature for the Loktanella sp. Gb03 isolate was determined to be 30°C, in 1% of NaCl and pH7. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the bacterium belonged to the genus Loktanella of the class Alphaproteobacteria and formed a tight cluster with the type strain of Loktanella pyoseonensis (97.0% sequence similarity). Conclusion: On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic data and genetic distinctiveness, strain Gb-03, were placed in the genus Loktanella as the type strain of species. Moreover, it has algicidal activity against seven toxic Dinoflagellate. The algicidal property of the isolated Loktanella is vital, especially where biological control is needed to mitigate algal bloom or targeted Dinoflagellates.

Abstract
To safely and effectively apply artemisinin sustained-release granules to control and prevent algal water-blooms, the effects of artemisinin and its sustained-release granules on freshwater alga (Scenedesmus obliquus (S. obliquus) and Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa)), as well as the production and release of microcystins (MCs) were studied. The results showed that artemisinin sustained-release granules inhibited the growth of M. aeruginosa (above 95% IR) and S. obliquus (about 90% IR), with M. aeruginosa more sensitive. The artemisinin sustained-release granules had a longer inhibition effect on growth of pure algae and algal coexistence than direct artemisinin dosing. The artemisinin sustained-release granules could decrease the production and release of algal toxins due to the continued stress of artemisinin released from artemisinin sustained-release granules. There was no increase in the total amount of MC-LR in the algal cell culture medium.

Abstract
Allelochemicals in Pistia stratiotes Linn. have a strong anti-cyanobacteria effect on Microcystis aeruginosa. To further determine the release routes of allelochemicals in P. stratiotes and understand their anti-cyanobacteria mechanisms, we aimed to systematically investigate the allelopathic effects of leaf leachates, leaf volatilization, root exudates, and residue decomposition of P. stratiotes on M. aeruginosa. The influences of P. stratiotes allelochemicals on the physiological properties of M. aeruginosa were also studied. Root exudates of P. stratiotes exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on M. aeruginosa growth. The residue decomposition and leaf leachates exhibited a relatively strong inhibitory effect on M. aeruginosa growth. By contrast, the leaf volatilization stimulated M. aeruginosa growth. Therefore, root exudation was determined to be the main release route of allelochemicals from P. stratiotes. The mixed culture experiment of P. stratiotes root exudates and M. aeruginosa showed that the allelochemicals released from root exudation had no effect on the electron transfer of M. aeruginosa photosynthetic system II. However, it reduced the phycocyanin (PC) content and phycocyanin to allophycocyanin (PC/APC) ratio in the photosynthetic system. As the root exudates concentration increased, the electrical conductivity (EC) and superoxide anion radical (O2(*-)) values in the M. aeruginosa culture fluid increased significantly, indicating that the allelochemicals released from the root of P. stratiotes inhibited algae growth by affecting the PC and PC/APC levels in photosynthesis, destroying the cell membrane, and increasing O2(*-) content to result in oxidative damage of M. aeruginosa.

Abstract
The use of allelochemicals has been proved an environmentally friendly and promising method to control harmful algal blooms. This study was conducted to explore the application potential of Ailanthus altissima (A. altissima) extracts in Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) control for the first time. Four treatments with A. altissima extractions (25mgL(-1), 50mgL(-1), 100mgL(-1), and 200mgL(-1) respectively) and a control group were built to investigate the effects of A. altissima on the growth, cellular microstructure and cell viability, physiological changes, and release of extracellular matters. Results showed that the cell density of M. aeruginosa was effectively inhibited by A. altissima extract, and the inhibition rates were dose-dependent within 5d. Especially for the treatment with 200mgL(-1) of extract, the inhibitory rates remains above 90% after 5d exposure. In addition, A. altissima effectively decreased the amount of extracellular cyanotoxin microcystins and destroyed the photosynthesis-related structure of algae cell during the experimental period. The results demonstrated the A. altissima extracts can be used as an effective and safe algicide to control algal blooms. However, it must be noted that specific compounds responsible for algicidal effect should be isolated and identified to explore inhibition mechanism of A. altissima in future study.
