Kim EJ, Doh H, Yang J, Eyun SI. The occurrence of positive selection on BicA transporter of Microcystis aeruginosa. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 283:116795. [PMID: 39083868 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
The rapid growth of cyanobacteria, particularly Microcystis aeruginosa, poses a significant threat to global water security. The proliferation of toxic Microcystis aeruginosa raises concerns due to its potential harm to human health and socioeconomic impacts. Dense blooms contribute to spatiotemporal inorganic carbon depletion, promoting interest in the roles of carbon-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) for competitive carbon uptake. Despite the importance of HCO3- transporters, genetic evaluations and functional predictions in M. aeruginosa remain insufficient. In this study, we explored the diversity of HCO3- transporters in the genomes of 46 strains of M. aeruginosa, assessing positive selection for each. Intriguingly, although the Microcystis BicA transporter became a partial gene in 23 out of 46 genomic strains, we observed significant positive sites. Structural analyses, including predicted 2D and 3D models, confirmed the structural conservation of the Microcystis BicA transporter. Our findings suggest that the Microcystis BicA transport likely plays a crucial role in competitive carbon uptake, emphasizing its ecological significance. The ecological function of the Microcystis BicA transport in competitive growth during cyanobacterial blooms raises important questions. Future studies require experimental confirmation to better understand the role of the Microcysits BicA transporter in cyanobacterial blooms dynamics.

Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a widespread and emerging organic contaminant of aquatic environments, has high bioaccumulation potential and high toxicity. Consequently, major concerns have been raised worldwide regarding the management of this pollutant in aquatic ecosystems. To thoroughly understand PFOA's toxic effects on aquatic organisms, systematic investigations were conducted on the cellular responses of Microcystis aeruginosa to the environmental concentrations of PFOA under various concentrations as well as phosphorus (P) conditions (concentrations and forms). The results showed that P conditions remarkably affected cyanobacterial growth as well as photosynthetic pigment content, triggered oxidative stress to disrupt the function and structure of the cell membrane, and caused changes in the extracellular and intracellular contents of microcystin-LR (MC-LR). Furthermore, PFOA (100 μg/L) was absorbed by cyanobacterial cells through the stimulation of the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) by M. aeruginosa. After entering the cyanobacterial cells, PFOA inhibited photosynthesis, reduced P absorption, induced oxidative damage, lead to a loss of cell integrity evident in scanning electron microscope images, and increased mcyA gene expression to promote MC-LR production. Moreover, the limited P concentration and forms conditions led to increased PFOA absorption by cyanobacterial cells, which further upregulated mcyA gene expression and increased the risk of MC-LR diffusion into the aquatic environment. Our present study provided a theoretical basis and new ideas for understanding and addressing safety issues related to the presence of PFOA in aquatic environments with varying nutritional statuses.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in global agricultural cultivation. However, little is known about the environmental risks associated with its migration and transformation. We conducted light irradiation experiments to study the dynamics and mechanism of photodegradation of glyphosate in ditches, ponds and lakes, and evaluated the effect of glyphosate photodegradation on algae growth through algae culture experiments. Our results showed that glyphosate in ditches, ponds and lakes could undergo photochemical degradation under sunlight irradiation with the production of phosphate, and the photodegradation rate of glyphosate in ditches could reach 86% after 96 h under sunlight irradiation. Hydroxyl radicals (•OH) was the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) for glyphosate photodegradation, and its steady-state concentrations in ditches, ponds and lakes were 6.22 × 10-17, 4.73 × 10-17, and 4.90 × 10-17 M. The fluorescence emission-excitation matrix (EEM) and other technologies further indicated that the humus components in dissolved organic matter (DOM) and nitrite were the main photosensitive substances producing •OH. In addition, the phosphate generated by glyphosate photodegradation could greatly promote the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa, thereby increasing the risk of eutrophication. Thus, glyphosate should be scientifically and reasonably applied to avoid environmental risks.

Abstract
Cyanobacterial blooms caused by eutrophication have become a major environmental problem in aquatic ecosystems worldwide over the last few decades. Phosphorus is a limiting nutrient that affects the growth of cyanobacteria and plays a role in dynamic changes in algal density and the formation of cyanobacterial blooms. Therefore, identifying the association between phosphorus sources and Microcystis, which is the most representative and harmful cyanobacteria, is essential for building an understanding of the ecological risks of cyanobacterial blooms. However, systematic reviews summarizing the relationships between Microcystis and phosphorus in aquatic environments are rare. Thus, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the physiological and ecological interactions between phosphorus sources and Microcystis in aquatic environments from the following perspectives: (i) the effects of phosphorus source and concentration on Microcystis growth, (ii) the impacts of phosphorus on the environmental behaviors of Microcystis, (iii) mechanisms of phosphorus-related metabolism in Microcystis, and (iv) role of Microcystis in the distribution of phosphorus sources within aquatic environments. In addition, relevant unsolved issues and essential future investigations (e.g., secondary ecological risks) have been highlighted and discussed. This review provides deeper insights into the relationship between phosphorus sources and Microcystis and can serve as a reference for the evaluation, monitoring, and effective control of cyanobacterial blooms.

Abstract
Monitoring the long-term spatiotemporal variations in particulate organic phosphorus concentration (CPOP) is imperative for clarifying the phosphorus cycle and its biogeochemical behavior in waters. However, little attention has been devoted to this owing to a lack of suitable bio-optical algorithms that allow the application of remote sensing data. In this study, based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, a novel absorption-based algorithm of CPOP was developed for eutrophic Lake Taihu, China. The algorithm yielded a promising performance with a mean absolute percentage error of 27.75% and root mean square error of 21.09 μg/L. The long-term MODIS-derived CPOP demonstrated an overall increasing pattern over the past 19 years (2003-2021) and a significant temporal heterogeneity in Lake Taihu, with higher value in summer (82.06 ± 3.81 μg/L) and autumn (78.74 ± 3.8 μg/L), and lower CPOP in spring (79.52 ± 3.81 μg/L) and winter (81.97 ± 3.8 μg/L). Spatially, relatively higher CPOP was observed in the Zhushan Bay (85.87 ± 7.5 μg/L), whereas the lower value was observed in the Xukou Bay (78.95 ± 3.48 μg/L). In addition, significant correlations (r > 0.6, P < 0.05) were observed between CPOP and air temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration and cyanobacterial blooms areas, demonstrating that CPOP was greatly influenced by air temperature and algal metabolism. This study provides the first record of the spatial-temporal characteristics of CPOP in Lake Taihu over the past 19 years, and the CPOP results and regulatory factors analyses could provide valuable insights for aquatic ecosystem conservation.

Abstract
Nodularia spumigena is a toxic, filamentous cyanobacterium capable of fixing atmospheric N2, which is often dominating cyanobacterial bloom events in the Baltic Sea and other brackish water systems worldwide. Increasing phosphate limitation has been considered as one environmental factor promoting cyanobacterial mass developments. In the present study, we analyzed the response of N. spumigena strain CCY9414 toward strong phosphate limitation. Growth of the strain was diminished under P-deplete conditions; however, filaments contained more polyphosphate under P-deplete compared to P-replete conditions. Using RNA-seq, gene expression was compared in N. spumigena CCY9414 after 7 and 14 days in P-deplete and P-replete conditions, respectively. After 7 days, 112 genes were significantly up-regulated in P-deplete filaments, among them was a high proportion of genes encoding proteins related to P-homeostasis such as transport systems for different P species. Many of these genes became also up-regulated after 14 days compared to 7 days in filaments grown under P-replete conditions, which was consistent with the almost complete consumption of dissolved P in these cultures after 14 days. In addition to genes directly related to P starvation, genes encoding proteins for bioactive compound synthesis, gas vesicles formation, or sugar catabolism were stimulated under P-deplete conditions. Collectively, our data describe an experimentally validated P-stimulon in N. spumigena CCY9414 and provide the indication that severe P limitation could indeed support bloom formation by this filamentous strain.

Abstract
Extensive algal bloom in the surface water is a pressing issue in Lake Dianchi that causes lake restoration to be difficult owing to complex and variable phosphorus (P) sources in the water column. P released from algae, suspended particles (SS), and sediment can provide sustainable P sources for algal blooms. However, little is known regarding the dynamic of P speciation in these substances from different sources. In this study, solution 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) and chemical sequential extraction were employed to identify P speciation in algae, SS, and sediment during different periods. Results showed that dissolved inorganic P (Pi) directly accumulated in algae in the form of orthophosphate (ortho-P) and pyrophosphate (pyro-P). Algae preferentially utilized Pi, followed by organic P (Po) in the water column when the Pi was insufficient during growth and reproduction. The 31P NMR spectra demonstrated that ortho-P, orthophosphate monoesters (mono-P), orthophosphate diesters (diester-P), and pyro-P dominated the P compounds across the samples tested. Increasing remineralization of SS mono-P driven by intense alkaline phosphatase activities was caused by increasing P needs of algae and pressure of P supply in the water column. The higher ratios of diester-P to mono-P in sediment (mean 0.55) than those in algae (mean 0.07) and SS (mean 0.11 in surface water, 0.14 in bottom water) suggested that the degradation and regeneration occurred within these P compounds during or after sedimentation. Pi content in algae during growth and reproduction was controlled by its P absorption and utilization strategies. Results of this study provide insights into the dynamic cycling of P in algae, SS, and sediment, explaining the reason for algal blooms in the surface water with low concentrations of dissolved P.

Abstract
The critical role of nitrogen in the global proliferation of cyanobacterial blooms is arousing increasing attention. However, the mechanism underlying the algal responses to differential nitrogen forms remains unclarified. The physiological and transcriptomic changes of Microcystis aeruginosa supplied with different nitrogen forms (nitrate and ammonium) were highlighted in this study. The results indicated that ammonium behaves better in stimulating the initial growth in N-limited cells than nitrate. However, a concomitant side effect is that cellular growth and photosynthesis decreased due to photosystem II damage induced by excess absorbed light energy under 10 mg L-1 ammonium. By contrast, adequate nitrate supply favored more efficient photosynthesis, higher biomass yield and microcystin quotas than ammonium. Depending on the supplied nitrogen form, different transcriptomic patterns were observed in M. aeruginosa. Under nitrate, the upregulation of genes involved in Arg biosynthesis, ornithine-urea cycle and photosynthesis increased nitrogen storage and cellular growth, while genes involved in cyclic electron flow around photosystem I and CO2-concentrating mechanism were heightened to dissipate excess energy under high ammonium. These insights provided important clues for understanding the physiological and molecular effects of available nitrogen forms on the frequent outbreaks of cyanobacteria.

Abstract
Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics of total dissolved phosphorus concentration (CTDP) and its regulatory factors is essential to improving our understanding of its impact on inland water eutrophication, but few studies have assessed this in eutrophic inland lakes due to a lack of suitable bio-optical algorithms allowing the use of remote sensing data. We developed a novel semi-analytical algorithm for this purpose and tested it in the eutrophic Lake Taihu, China. Our algorithm produced robust results with a mean absolute square percentage error of 29.65% and root mean square error of 9.54 μg/L. Meanwhile, the new algorithm demonstrates good portability to other waters with different optical properties and could be applied to various image data, including Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), and Ocean and Land Color Instrument (OLCI). Further analysis based on Geostationary Ocean Color Imager observations from 2011 to 2020 revealed a significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity of CTDP in Lake Taihu. Correlation analysis of the long-term trend between CTDP and driving factors demonstrated that air temperature is the dominant regulating factor in variations of CTDP. This study provides a novel algorithm allowing remote-sensing monitoring of CTDP in eutrophic lakes and can lead to new insights into the role of dissolved phosphorus in water eutrophication.

Abstract
Tracking the spatiotemporal dynamics of particulate phosphorus concentration (CPP) and understanding its regulating factors is essential to improve our understanding of its impact on inland water eutrophication. However, few studies have assessed this in eutrophic inland lakes, owing to a lack of suitable bio-optical algorithms allowing the use of remote sensing data. Herein, a novel semi-analytical algorithm of CPP was developed to estimate CPP in lakes on the Yangtze Plain, China. The independent validations of the proposed algorithm showed a satisfying performance with the mean absolute percentage error and root mean square error less than 27% and 27 μg/L, respectively. The Ocean and Land Color Instrument observations revealed a remarkable spatiotemporal heterogeneity of CPP in 23 lakes on the Yangtze Plain from 2016 to 2020, with the lowest value in December (62.91 ± 34.59 μg/L) and the highest CPP in August (114.9 ± 51.69 μg/L). Among the 23 examined lakes, the highest mean CPP was found in Lake Poyang (124.58 ± 44.71 μg/L), while the lowest value was found in Lake Qiandao (33.51 ± 4.71 μg/L). Additionally, 13 lakes demonstrated significant decreasing or increasing trends (P < 0.05) of annual mean CPP during the observation period. The driving factor analysis revealed that four natural factors (wind speed, air temperature, precipitation, and sunshine duration) and two anthropogenic factors (the normalized difference vegetation index and nighttime light) combined explained more than 91% of the variation in CPP, while the impacts of these factors on CPP showed considerable differences among lakes. This study offered a novel and scalable algorithm for the study of the spatiotemporal variation of CPP in inland waters and provided new insights into the regulating factors in water eutrophication.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 712:136332. [PMID: 31935546 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.136332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/23/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) blooms and Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) invasion have caused serious damage to local ecological environment. This study validated the possibility of transforming the abandoned S. alterniflora into a biological resource to inhibit M. aeruginosa blooms through allelopathy. The results showed that the inhibitory effect became stronger with the increasing S. alterniflora concentration by decreasing chlorophyll a and weakening photosynthesis when S. alterniflora aqueous extract concentration was over 0.05 g/mL. The results of GC-MS showed that Cyclohexane, Heptane, 2-Cyclohexen-1-one, Hexadecanoic acid, 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol and Hydrocinnamic acid may be the main allelochemicals. In addition, the S. alterniflora aqueous extract had little effect on the relative abundance and diversity of microbial communities in the culture system. This study provided a novel idea of controlling the M. aeruginosa blooms using the rapidly expanding S. alterniflora.
