Article Abstract
Severe eutrophication and harmful cyanobacterial blooms of freshwater ecosystems is a persistent environmental topic in recent decades. Pyrogallol (polyphenol) was confirmed to exhibit one of the most intensive inhibitory effects on the Microcystis aeruginosa. In this study, the expression of genes, release of microcystins (MCs) and antioxidant system of pyrogallol on Microcystis aeruginosa TY001 were investigated. The results revealed that the expression of stress response genes (prx, ftsH, grpE and fabZ) and DNA repair genes (recA and gyrB) were up-regulated. Meanwhile, the antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activity, were increased, and the stress caused lipid peroxidation to occur and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels to change. Unexpectedly, the relative transcript abundance of microcystin synthesis genes (mcyB, mcyD and ntcA) and the contents of microcystins (MCs) significantly increased compared with the control in the culture medium. In conclusion, oxidative damage and DNA damage are the primary mechanisms for the allelopathic effect of pyrogallol on M. aeruginosa TY001.

Cyanophages are widely distributed viruses that specifically infect blue-green algae and play a critical role as biological control agents in aquatic ecosystems. Despite their ecological importance, the effects of light on cyanophage-host interactions are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of host photosynthesis in different stages of MaMV-DH01 infection, a novel muscle-tailed cyanophage isolated from Donghu Lake that targets Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB524.

The differentiation of the nitrate reduction pathway is of great significance in the ecosystem, as it determines the occurrence form of ecosystem N. In order to explore the impact and mechanism of different algal dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) on differentiation of nitrate (NO-N) reduction pathway, small-scale enclosure experiment was conducted to analyze the DON and DOP composition, nutrient level, microbial community composition and NO-N reduction pathway in ponds with Microcystis and Dolichospermum blooms. The main DON produced by Microcystis included lipids and proteins as well as carbohydrate which were readily degradable, whereas the DOP produced by Dolichospermum predominantly consists of readily degradable forms such as carbohydrate and protein.

Dissolved carbon is a crucial component of freshwater ecosystems and plays an important role in the Earth's carbon cycle. This paper delivers a groundbreaking exploration of dissolved carbon (DOC and DIC) variations spanning 12 years in a eutrophic lake where nutrient levels are gradually declining to reveal their spatial and temporal distribution patterns and the key drivers behind this variation. Our findings indicate that both DIC and DOC concentrations in Lake Chaohu exhibit a westward spatial gradient, with an overall upward trend in DIC levels from 2012 to 2023, contrasting with a downward trend in DOC.

Aged nanoplastics are emerging pollutants in aquatic environments, but the effects of their loaded pollutants on cyanobacteria are still poorly understood. This study evaluated the adsorption of butylparaben (BP) by pristine (PS) and aged polystyrene nanoplastics (APS) and prepared BP-loaded aged PS to analyze their effects on . The results showed that APS had stronger BP adsorption and translocation capacity, with APS increasing BP adsorption by 4.

Microcystis aeruginosa is a toxic cyanobacteria species that is often abundant during cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwaters. This study examined how growth on different nitrogen substrates influences the exometabolome of toxic and non-toxic strains of M. aeruginosa.
