Abstract
Seaweed cultivation can inhibit the occurrence of red tides. However, how seaweed aquaculture interactions with harmful algal blooms will be affected by the increasing occurrence and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) is unknown. In this study, we run both monoculture and coculture systems to investigate the effects of a simulated heatwave on the competition of the economically important macroalga Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis against the harmful bloom diatom Skeletonema costatum. Coculture with G. lemaneiformis led to a growth decrease in S. costatum. Growth and photosynthetic activity (Fv/Fm) of G. lemaneiformis was greatly reduced by the heatwave treatment, and did not recover even after one week. Growth and photosynthetic activity of S. costatum was also reduced by the heatwave in coculture, but returned to normal during the recovery period. S. costatum also responded to the stressful environment by forming aggregates. Metabolomic analysis suggests that the negative effects on S. costatum were related to an allelochemical release from G. lemaneiformis. These findings show that MHWs may enhance the competitive advantages of S. costatum against G. lemaneiformis, leading to more severe harmful algal blooms in future extreme weather scenarios.

Abstract
Allelochemicals derived from plants have shown great potential in mitigating harmful algal blooms (HABs), although different algal species can respond differently to these chemicals. Therefore, we first investigated the allelopathic effects of two newly identified plant-derived allelochemicals, 1,2-benzenediol (1,2-BD) and 3-indoleacrylic acid (3-IDC), on six algal species. Then we further evaluated the allelopathic responses of two bloom-forming species, Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-905 and Heterosigma akashiwo to 1,2-BD. Results showed that 1,2-BD had a broader antialgal spectrum than 3-IDC. Allelopathic response analysis indicated that 1,2-BD consistently and stably inhibit the growth of M. aeruginosa FACHB-905, with inhibitory mechanism being disruption of photosynthetic activity, overwhelming of the antioxidant system and activation of programmed cell death (PCD). H. akashiwo displayed resistance to 1,2-BD during exposure, and the growth inhibition was mainly attributed to PCD. Therefore, the species-specific allelopathic responses provide new insights for controlling HABs using 1,2-BD and 3-IDC.

Abstract
Various marine aquaculture systems have different impacts on the environment, but few assessments were focused on the environmental impact by different systems in the same region. To study the effects of various aquaculture systems on phytoplankton community structure and water properties, 5 surveys were carried out in seaweed (Gracilaria lemaneiformis, GL), shellfish (Mytilus coruscus, MC) and cage fish (Larimichthys crocea, LC) mariculture areas in Dongji island, Zhejiang, China from June to September 2020. Significant differences were observed in some environmental parameters and phytoplankton communities among three aquaculture systems. The dissolved oxygen concentrations and Secchi depth in the surface waters in GL area were relatively higher than in the blank and other areas. As for nutrients concentration, LC and MC areas had higher concentrations than blank area, while GL area was the lowest. Though Chlorophyll-a concentration displayed fluctuations, relatively lower concentrations were found in GL area. Shannon diversity index was found to be relatively constant and higher in GL area. The Non-metric multidimensional scaling results revealed that phytoplankton composition had a distinct pattern among sampling times. The correlations and Redundancy analysis showed that total nitrogen, salinity and transparency were primary environmental factors associated with phytoplankton composition. Our study confirmed that different marine aquaculture systems can cause environmental fluctuations. Among the three systems, seaweed cultivation can bring multiple positive effects by improving surrounding water quality and increasing the phytoplankton composition. G. lemaneiformis culture in summer has great positive impact on seawater environment as it can maintain the ecological balance and reduce the risk of harmful algal blooms (HABs), and therefore, it is strongly recommended more G. lemaneiformis cultivation in this region in summer.

Abstract
Excess nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients in the aquatic environment result in the growth of algal cells and water eutrophication, which adversely affect the aquatic environment and human health. Therefore, discovering a safe and efficient algae suppression method is necessary to ensure the ecological safety of water. Recently, the allelopathic effects of aquatic plants on algae have attracted extensive attention from researchers. This review demonstrates the current research hotspot of allelopathic algal inhibition in aquatic plants and lists the common aquatic plant species and allelochemicals. In addition, the inhibition mechanism of allelochemicals from aquatic plants on algae is systematically discussed. Moreover, the key factors affecting the inhibition of allelopathy in algae, such as pH, temperature, algal cell density, and concentration of allelochemicals, are summarized. The present utilization modes of allelochemicals on algae are also presented. Finally, the problems existing in the study of allelopathic algal inhibition of aquatic plants are highlighted, and suggestions for further research are proposed.

Abstract
Phytochemical is considered an alternative method for cyanobacterial bloom control in aquatic environments. When cyanobacteria are treated with anti-algal materials produced from plant tissues, they tend to exhibit growth inhibition or necrosis of cells. These different anti-algal responses have not been well discussed, and thus, the modes of anti-algal action in cyanobacteria remain obscure. In this study, transcriptomic and biochemical researches were conducted to understand the mechanisms of cyanobacterial growth inhibition and necrosis in harmful cyanobacterial cells exposed to allelopathic materials. The cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa was treated with aqueous extracts of walnut husk, rose leaf, and kudzu leaf. Walnut husk and rose leaf extracts induced mortality of cyanobacterial population with cell necrosis, whereas kudzu leaf extract exhibited poorly grown cells with shrunk size. Through RNA sequencing, it was revealed that the necrotic extracts significantly downregulated critical genes in enzymatic chain reactions for carbohydrate assembly in the carbon fixation cycle and peptidoglycan synthesis. Compared to the necrotic extract treatment, expression of several genes related to DNA repair, carbon fixation, and cell reproduction was less interrupted by the kudzu leaf extract. Biochemical analysis of cyanobacterial regrowth was performed using gallotannin and robinin. Gallotannin was identified as the major anti-algal compound in walnut husk and rose leaf affecting cyanobacterial necrosis, whereas robinin, which is the typical chemical in kudzu leaf, was associated with growth inhibition of cyanobacterial cells. These combinational studies using RNA sequencing and regrowth assays provided evidence supporting the allelopathic effects of plant-derived materials on cyanobacterial control. Furthermore, our findings suggest novel algicidal scenarios with different responses in the cyanobacterial cells depending on the type of anti-algal compounds.

Abstract
Linoleic acid (LA) shows great potential in inhibiting the growth of multiple red tide microalgae by disturbing algal physio-biochemical processes. However, our knowledge on the mechanisms of algal mortality at metabolic level remains limited. Herein, the response of K. mikimotoi to LA was evaluated using metabolomics, stable isotope techniques (SIT), and physiological indicators. Results showed that 100 μg/L LA promoted the growth of K. mikimotoi, which was significantly inhibited by 500 μg/L LA, along with a significant reduction of photosynthetic pigments and a significant increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS). SIT showed that LA entered algal cells, and 56 isotopologues involved in ferroptosis, carotenoid biosynthesis, and porphyrin metabolism were identified. Non-targeted metabolomics identified 90 and 111 differential metabolites (DEMs) belonging to 11 metabolic pathways under the 500 μg/L and 100 μg/L LA exposure, respectively. Among them, 34 DEMs were detected by SIT. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that 500 μg/L LA significantly promoted ferroptosis, and significantly inhibited carotenoid biosynthesis, porphyrin metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis, presenting changes opposite to those observed in 100 μg/L LA-treated K. mikimotoi. Overall, this study revealed the metabolic response of K. mikimotoi to LA, enriching our understanding on the allelochemical mechanism of LA on K. mikimotoi.

Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have frequently occurred worldwide, causing marine ecosystems and human health risks. As an advanced and green oxidation technology, photocatalysis has potential to remove red tide algae using solar energy. Herein, in this work, Z-scheme photocatalysts of Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 (APCN) floating foam with different mass ratios were fabricated for the algae inactivation. Under visible light irradiation, the 0.10APCN (0.10 mM AgNO3) composite photocatalyst could cause 91.8% of the loss in Karenia mikimotoi (K. mikimotoi) cell viability following 24 h and the removal rate of algae could reach to 86% after five successive cycles. The underlying mechanism of photocatalytic inactivation of harmful algae is proposed in this system. The photosynthetic efficiency of harmful algae is inhibited with the decrease of photosynthetic pigments, which are inactivated by the high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (superoxide radical •O2- and hydroxyl radical •OH) produced in Z-scheme photocatalytic system of the Ag3PO4/g-C3N4 heterojunction under visible light. Meanwhile, the activities of antioxidant enzymes (i.e. POD, APX and SOD) are up-regulating with the overproduction of ROS going into the algae, causing the cytotoxicity and apoptosis of algae. This work not only reveals the mechanisms of photocatalytic inactivation of harmful algae, but also guides the design the construction of high active composite photocatalysts, and thus provides theoretical and practical significance for highly efficient and recyclable prospect of controlling of harmful algae.

Abstract
Agroecology, the application of ecological concepts to agricultural production, has been developing over the last years with consequent promotion for discovery of bioactive compounds to control pests and abolish crop diseases. In this context, algae from Nitella genus are characterized by high potential for bioeconomic applications due to (1) available biomass for harvesting or cultivation and (2) production of allelochemicals, which present a potential to protect field crops from insect infestation. Therefore, this study aimed to determine primary and secondary metabolites derived from aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of Nitella furcata and to evaluate phytotoxic, cytogenotoxic, insecticidal, and pro-oxidative activities of these extracts. Determination of metabolites showed the presence predominantly of carbohydrates, proteins, phenols, and flavonoids in hydroethanolic extract. Both extracts of N. furcata interfered in the germination of seeds and development of seedlings of Lactuca sativa, with hydroethanolic extract exhibiting greater inhibition. Both extracts also interfered with meristematic cells of Allium cepa as evidenced by chromosomal alterations and higher pro-oxidative activity. Aqueous extract at 5 and 0 mg/ml produced 100% insect mortality. Further, hydroethanolic extract at 0 mg/ml was lethal immediately upon exposure. Therefore, results demonstrate that N. furcata is potential algae species to be considered for development of environmental and ecotoxicological studies as a source of compounds with potential use in agroecological strategies.

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
In this study, a marine brown alga Sargassum cristaefolium-derived fungal strain, Penicillium sumatraense SC29, was isolated and identified. Column chromatography of the extracts from liquid fermented products of the fungal strain was carried out and led to the isolation of six compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and supported by single-crystal X-ray diffraction as four previously undescribed (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid and glycolic acid derivatives, namely penisterines A (1) and C-E (3-5) and penisterine A methyl ether (2), isolated for the first time from natural resources, along with (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (6). Of these compounds identified, penisterine E (5) was a unique 6/6/6-tricyclic ether with an acetal and two hemiketal functionalities. All the isolates were subjected to in vitro anti-angiogenic assays using a human endothelial progenitor cell (EPCs) platform. Among these, penisterine D (4) inhibited EPC growth, migration, and tube formation without any cytotoxic effect. Further, in in vivo bioassays, the percentages of angiogenesis of compound 3 on Tg (fli1:EGFP) transgenic zebrafish were 54% and 37% as the treated concentration increased from 10.2 to 20.4 µg/mL, respectively, and the percentages of angiogenesis of compound 4 were 52% and 41% as the treated concentration increased from 8.6 to 17.2 µg/mL, respectively. The anti-angiogenic activity of penisterine D (4) makes it an attractive candidate for further preclinical investigation.

Ji NH, Chen FH, Pang ZZ. Composition identification and UV-C irradiation growth inhibition effect of green shading on the greenhouse cover. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 850:158024. [PMID: 35970460 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158024] [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: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Greenhouse cover pollution with green shading composed of dust, microalgae and bacteria is a severe problem in tropical areas. The shading results in lower greenhouse indoor light intensity reducing the yield and quality of protected horticulture crops. However, few studies have focused on environmentally efficient ways to remove green shading to increase greenhouse production. In this study, five purified microalgae were isolated from the green shading of three greenhouse roofs and were identified using morphological and molecular assessments. The effects of Ultraviolet-C irradiation (UV-C, 254 nm) at doses of 100, 200 and 300 mJ cm-2 on the growth of GLY-1 microalgae were investigated. The results indicated that five purified microalgae all appeared to belong to the genus of Jaagichlorella. The purified microalgae cell density and chlorophyll content decreased respectively by 26.89-74.44 % and 42.02-77.31 % at 1-3 d after UV-C treatment with doses ranging from 100 to 300 mJ cm-2. The inhibition of the growth rate of microalgae was significantly positively correlated with the UV-C irradiation dose and significantly negatively correlated with treatment time. In summary, UV-C irradiation treatment at 300 mJ cm-2 and 3 d could substantially inhibit microalgae growth in green shading on greenhouse covers. UV-C irradiation could be an effective method for solving the problem of greenhouse cover pollution with microalgae.

The inactivation effects and mechanisms of Karenia mikimotoi by non-metallic elements modified TiO 2 (SNP-TiO 2) under visible light. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 820:153346.

Abstract
As an advanced oxidation technology, photocatalytic treatment of red tide algae pollution was potential of great research prospects. However, the most commonly used photocatalyst TiO2 can only use ultraviolet light with short wavelength because of its wide band gap. In this study, the non-metallic elements S, N and P were added into the TiO2 (SNP-TiO2) lattice by hydrothermal synthesis, and the inactivation effects and mechanisms of Karenia mikimotoi were studied under visible light. The particle size of the obtained photocatalyst was about 10 nm. There were obvious characteristic peaks at the (101) (004) (200) (105) (211) (204) interface and included NO bond, PO bond and SO bond. The incorporation of S, N and P reduced the band gap of TiO2 from 3.2 eV to 3.08 eV, which showed the integrity of the doping process. S0.7N1.4P0.05-TiO2 was full of excellent photocatalytic activity, the continuous inhibition effect was the most obvious. When exposed to 200 mg/L for 96 h, the growth inhibition rate (IR) was 81.8%. Photocatalytic process led to membrane damage of algal cells and collapse of photosynthetic system, caused oxidative stress response and accelerated algal cell inactivation. The study indicated that non-metallic elements modified TiO2 (SNP-TiO2) was full of potential of in treating red tide outbreak pollution under visible light.

MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2022; 178:113657. [PMID: 35452911 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2022.113657] [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: 01/26/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have induced severe damage worldwide. A novel high-efficient antialgal natural chemical, 3-indoleacrylic acid (3-IDC) with a 5-day half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50, 5d), was discovered from canola straw, and its algal inhibition mechanism was investigated. Adverse effects were observed on the growth of P. donghaiense with 3-IDC addition, following an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. 3-IDC also hindered the photosynthetic mechanism of P. donghaiense cells. Transcriptional results showed 3-IDC inhibiting the functions of all the nutrient assimilating genes, down-regulated ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase II, and cytochrome f genes. The expression of heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and 90 and rhodopsin genes were also suppressed. The binding affinity of investigated receptors was observed. The conformational changes induced by the spatial microstructural alteration through 3-IDC may further contribute to the perturbation of those enzyme catalytic activities. The present results provide new insights on controlling HABs using 3-IDC.
