Variations of bacterial community during the decomposition of Microcystis under different temperatures and biomass.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The decomposition of Microcystis can dramatically change the physicochemical properties of freshwater ecosystems. Bacteria play an important role in decomposing organic matters and accelerating the cycling of materials within freshwater lakes. However, actions of the bacterial community are greatly influenced by temperature and the amount of organic matter available to decompose during a bloom. Therefore, it is vital to understand how different temperatures and biomass levels affect the bacterial community during the decomposition of Microcystis. RESULTS:Microcystis addition reduced the diversity of bacterial community. The composition of bacterial community differed markedly between samples with different biomass of Microcystis (no addition, low biomass addition: 0.17?g/L, and high biomass addition: 0.33?g/L). In contrast, temperature factor did not contribute much to the different bacterial community composition. Total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total organic carbon (TOC), ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) were the key measured environmental variables shaping the composition of bacterial community. CONCLUSIONS:Decomposition of Microcystis changed the physicochemical characteristics of the water and controlled the diversity and composition of the bacterial community. Microcystis biomass rather than temperature was the dominant factor affecting the diversity and composition of the bacterial community.

Project description:Cyanobacterial blooms are a worldwide environmental problem and frequently occur in eutrophic lakes. Organophosphorus mineralization regulated by microbial alkaline phosphatase provides available nutrients for bloom regeneration. To uncover the dynamics of bacterial alkaline phosphatase activity and microbial backgrounds in relation to organophosphorus mineralization during the decomposition process of cyanobacterial blooms, the response of alkaline phosphatase PhoX-producing bacteria were explored using a 23-day mesocosm experiment with three varying densities of Microcystis biomass from eutrophic Lake Taihu. Our study found large amounts of soluble reactive phosphorus and dissolved organophosphorus were released into the lake water during the decomposition process. Bacterial alkaline phosphatase activity showed the peak values during days 5~7 in groups with different chlorophyll-a densities, and then all decreased dramatically to their initial experimental levels during the last stage of decomposition. Bacterial phoX abundances in the three experimental groups increased significantly along with the decomposition process, positively related to the dissolved organic carbon and organophosphorus released by the Microcystis blooms. The genotypes similar to the phoX genes of Alphaproteobacteria were dominant in all groups, whereas the genotypes most similar to the phoX genes of Betaproteobacteria and Cyanobacteria were also abundant in the low density (~15 ?g L-1 chlorophyll-a) group. At the end of the decomposition process, the number of genotypes most similar to the phoX of Betaproteobacteria and Cyanobacteria increased in the medium (~150 ?g L-1 chlorophyll-a) and high (~1500 ?g L-1 chlorophyll-a) density groups. The released organophosphorus and increased bacterial phoX abundance after decomposition of Microcystis aggregates could potentially provide sufficient nutrients and biological conditions for algal proliferation and are probably related to the regeneration of Microcystis blooms in eutrophic lakes.
