Project description:Microcystis aeruginosa cells were treated with phosphorus repletion, depletion and starvation. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) proteomic method was employed to explore to the effects of phosphorus limitation on Microcystis aeruginosa cells at the protein level. This investigation would contribute to the understanding of global cellular responses of Microcystis to phosphorus limitation and provide theoretical basis for deciding whether it is an effective way to control Microcystis blooms by phosphorus reduction.

Project description:Bacterial communities of Microcystis aeruginosa and Euglena sanguinea blooms
Project description:As an essential primary producer, cyanobacteria play an important role in the global cycle for both carbon and nitrogen in the ecosystems. Though the influence of nanoplastics on the carbon metabolism of cyanobacteria, especial Microcystis aeruginosa, a dominant species causing cyanobacterial blooms, is well studied, little is known about nanoplastics affecting the nitrogen metabolism.
Project description:The role of potassium (K+), which is an essential major bioconstituent and plant nutrient, in Microcystis aeruginosa growth and cyanobacterial blooms has not yet been clearly documented. This study presents the action and mechanism of K+ in Microcystis aeruginosa, focusing on the growth and proteomic response of the organism.
