醋酸钙不动杆菌的分离鉴定及溶藻特性

淡水微囊藻水华不仅造成水体动植物缺氧死亡,而且释放藻毒素,影响人类和其它动物的健康。利用液体感染技术,从河南省平顶山市白龟山水库分离一株能够溶解铜绿微囊藻PCC 7806的溶藻菌,命名为溶藻菌5,16S r DNA核苷酸序列测序证实该菌株为醋酸钙不动杆菌。它具有一定的溶藻特异性,只溶解PCC 7806,对FACHB-930和斜生栅藻没有影响,能够促进衣藻和红球藻的生长。最佳溶藻体积比为1∶1。溶藻菌5的菌体和无细胞培养物均具有相同的溶藻效果。显微观察藻细胞被溶解的黄化液显示细菌并未附着在藻细胞周围,也无菌胶膜形成。表明溶藻菌5可能通过释放杀藻物质和与藻竞争营养物质两种机制溶解藻细胞。     

溶藻细菌筛选及溶藻活性物质对铜绿微囊藻生理活性的影响

从太湖水华水体中分离纯化细菌, 再将细菌的LB液体和固体斜面纯培养物分别收集后感染铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)细胞, 从中筛选出7株具有溶藻活性的细菌, 并对其中一株溶藻细菌THW7的溶藻方式及溶藻活性物质对铜绿微囊藻生理活性的影响进行了初步研究。结果表明: 仅采用细菌的LB液体纯培养物进行溶藻细菌筛选会存在误筛或高估溶藻效率的风险, 而采用细菌的固体斜面纯培养物进行筛选则可避免以上风险; 溶藻细菌THW7通过分泌胞外活性物质的方式间接溶藻; 在THW7无菌滤液胁迫下, 铜绿微囊藻的生长受到显著抑制(P<0.01), 10d溶藻效率可达94.38%, 光合系统活性也显著降低(P<0.01), MDA含量积累, SOD、POD、CAT活性整体呈现先升高后降低的趋势且显著高于对照组(P<0.01)。推测菌株THW7分泌的溶藻活性物质可能作用于铜绿微囊藻细胞的光合系统Ⅱ, 阻碍电子传递, 抑制其光合作用过程, 并对藻细胞产生氧化损伤, 破坏藻细胞细胞膜的完整性, 从而实现溶藻作用。

Novel algicidal evidence of a bacterium Bacillus sp. LP-10 killing Phaeocystis globosa,a harmful algal bloom causing species

While searching for effective bio-agents to control harmful algal blooms (HABs), the bacterial strain LP-10, which has strong algicidal activity against Phaeocystis globosa (Prymnesiophyceae), was isolated from surface seawater samples taken from the East China Sea. 16S rDNA sequence analysis and morphological characteristics revealed the strain LP-10 belonged to the genus Bacillus. The lytic effect of Bacillus sp. LP-10 against P. globosa was both concentration- and time-dependent. Algicidal activities of different growth stages of the bacterial culture varied significantly. The lytic effect of different parts of the bacterial cultures indicated that the algal cells were lysed by algicidal active compounds in the cell-free filtrate. Analysis of the properties of the active compounds showed that they had a molecular weight of less than 1000 Da and that the active compounds were stable between −80 and 121 °C. The algicidal range assay indicated that five other algal species were also suppressed by strain LP-10, including: Alexandrium catenella, A. tamarense, A. minutum, Prorocentrum micans and Asterionella japonica. Our results suggested that the algicidal bacterium Bacillus sp. LP-10 could be a potential bio-agent to control the blooms of harmful algal species.     

The Algicidal Characteristics of One Algae-Lysing FDT5 Bacterium on Microcystis aeruginosa

One strain of algicidal bacterium which can inhibit Harmful algal blooms (HABs), FDT5, was isolated from activated sludge and found to have good algicidal effects on Microcystis aeruginosa. It was revealed that: The FDT5 was a Gram-negative bacterium and identified as Ochrobactrum sp.; The greater the initial bacterial cell density, the faster the degradation of chlorophyll a.; The algicidal efficiency was evaluated at the most favorable conditions which were a temperature of 30–35°C, a pH of 7.6 and complete darkness; The FDT5 strain lysed Microcystis aeruginosa not directly but by secreting metabolites which could withstand high temperatures and pressure.     

Revealing the algicidal characteristics of Maribacter dokdonensis: An investigation into bacterial strain P4 isolated from Karenia mikimotoi bloom water

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a global environmental concern, causing significant economic losses in fisheries and posing risks to human health. Algicidal bacteria have been suggested as a potential solution to control HABs, but their algicidal efficacy is influenced by various factors. This study aimed to characterize a novel algicidal bacterium, Maribacter dokdonensis (P4), isolated from a Karenia mikimotoi (Hong Kong strain, KMHK) HAB and assess the impact of P4 and KMHK's doses, growth phase, and algicidal mode and the axenicity of KMHK on P4's algicidal effect. Our results demonstrated that the algicidal effect of P4 was dose-dependent, with the highest efficacy at a dose of 25% v/v. The study also determined that P4's algicidal effect was indirect, with the P4 culture and the supernatant, but not the bacterial cells, showing significant effects. The algicidal efficacy was higher when both P4 and KMHK were in the stationary phase. Furthermore, the P4 culture at the log phase could effectively kill KMHK cells at the stationary phase, with higher algicidal efficacy in the bacterial culture than that of the supernatant alone. Interestingly, P4's algicidal efficacy was significantly higher when co-culturing with xenic KMHK (~90% efficacy at day 1) than that with the axenic KMHK (~50% efficacy at day 1), suggesting the presence of other bacteria could regulate P4's algicidal effect. The bacterial strain P4 also exhibited remarkable algicidal efficacy on four other dinoflagellate species, particularly the armored species. These results provide valuable insights into the algicidal effect of M. dokdonensis on K. mikimotoi and on their interactions.     

Field evaluation of different application methods of the mixture of Bacillus cereus strain AR156 and Bacillus subtilis strain SM21 on pepper growth and disease resistance

The mixture of Bacillus subtilis strain SM21 and Bacillus cereus strain AR156, referred to as ASB, is a biopesticide in the process of registration in China, which has the capacity of controlling root-knot nematode in cucumber, Phytophthora wilt in pepper and Ralstonia wilt in tomato. In this study, we tested its effects on a range of physiological indicators of plant growth including biomass, yield, chlorophyll content and fruit nutrients of pepper, as well as, its efficacy in controlling bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum under field conditions in 2009 and 2010 by a variety of inoculation methods. Three application methods – soaking seeds, drenching soil around seeds right after sowing and drenching the rhizosphere of transplanted seedling with the aqueous solution (as a soil drench) –and three concentrations of ASB (1.0 × 10⁶ CFU/mL, 1.0 × 10⁷ CFU/mL, and 1.0 × 10⁸ CFU/mL) were employed. The results showed that both soaking seeds with ASB at 1.0 × 10⁷ CFU/mL as well as drenching rhizosphere with ASB at 1.0 × 10⁶ CFU/mL and 1.0 × 10⁷ CFU/mL promoted growth, increased yield and fruit nutrient contents of pepper. The combination of these two inoculation methods led to significant increases in growth and fruit nutrient contents. We found that the most effective way was the combination of soaking seeds with the ASB at 1.0 × 10⁷ CFU/mL and drenching rhizosphere with it at 1.0 × 10⁶ CFU/mL, which is also easy for Chinese farmers to implement.     

Algicidal activity against Skeletonema costatum by marine bacteria isolated from a high frequency harmful algal blooms area in southern Chinese coast

Four marine bacterial strains P1, P5, N5 and N21 were isolated from the surface water and sediment of Mirs Bay in southern Chinese coast using the liquid infection method with 48-well plates. These bacteria were all shown to have algicidal activities against Skeletonema costatum. Based on morphological observations, biochemical tests and homology comparisons by 16S rDNA sequences, the isolated strains P1, P5, N5 and N21 were identified as Halobacillus sp., Muricauda sp., Kangiella sp. and Roseivirga sp., respectively. Our results showed that bacterial strain P1 killed S. costatum by release of heat labile algicide, while strains P5, N5 and N21 killed them directly. The algicidal processes of four bacterial strains were different. Strains P1, N5 and N21 disrupted the chain structure and S. costatum appeared as single cells, in which the cellular components were aggregated and the individual cells were inflated and finally lysed, while strain P5 decomposed the algal chains directly. We also showed that the algicidal activities of the bacterial strains were concentration-dependent. More specifically, 10?% (v/v) of bacteria in algae showed the strongest algicidal activities, as all S. costatum cells were killed by strains N5 and N21 within 72?h and by strains P1 and P5 within 96?h. 5?% of bacteria in algae also showed significant algicidal activities, as all S. costatum were killed by strains N5, P5 and N21 within 72, 96 and 120?h, respectively, whereas at this concentration, only 73.4?% of S. costatum cells exposed to strain P1 were killed within 120?h. At the concentration of 1?% bacteria in algae, the number of S. costatum cells continued to increase and the growth rate of algae upon exposure to strain N5 was significantly inhibited.     

A marine bacterium producing protein with algicidal activity against Alexandrium tamarense

Interactions between bacteria and harmful algal bloom (HAB) species have been acknowledged as an important factor of regulating the population of these algae. In the study, two strains of algicidal bacteria, DHQ25 and DHY3, were screened out because of their probably secreting algicidal proteins against axenic Alexandrium tamarense. Molecular characterization classified them to the γ-proteobacteria subclass and to the genus Vibrio and Pseudoalteromonas, respectively. After centrifugation and ultrafiltration, chromatography of the cultural supernatants of DHQ25 revealed 8 peaks by HPLC. SDS-PAGE and Native PAGE determination showed that peak 7 to be a monoband peak. Both xenic and axenic culture of A. tamarense were susceptible to the purified protein (short for P7 below) indicated by algicidal activity assay. Observation of algicidal process demonstrated that algal cells were lysed and cellular substances were released under visual fields of microscope. P7 proved to be a challenge controller of A. tamarense by the above characterizations of algicidal activity assaying and algicidal process. This is the first report of a protein algicidal to the toxic dinoflagellate A. tamarense. The findings increase our knowledge of bacterial–algal interactions and the role of bacteria during controlling HABs.     

Marine bacteria antagonistic to the harmful algal bloom species Alexandrium tamarense (Dinophyceae)

As part of efforts to enhance the strategies employed to manage and mitigate algal blooms and their adverse effects, algicidal bacteria have shown promise as potential suppressors of these events. Nine strains of bacteria algicidal against the toxic dinoflagellate, Alexandrium tamarense, were isolated from the East Sea area, China. Sequence analysis of 16S rDNA showed that all the algicidal bacteria belonged to the γ-proteobacteria subclass and the genera Pseudoalteromonas (strain SP31 and SP44), Alteromonas (strain DH12 and DH46), Idiomarina (strain SP96), Vibrio (strain DH47 and DH51) and Halomonas (strain DH74 and DH77). To assess the algicidal mode of these algicidal bacteria, bacterial cells and the filtrate from bacterial cultures were inoculated into A. tamarense cultures, and fluorescein diacetate vital stain was applied to monitor the growth of the algal cells. The results showed that all the algicidal bacteria exhibited algicidal activity through an indirect attack since algicidal activity was only detected in cell free supernatants but not the bacterial cells. This is the first report of bacteria from the genus Idiomarina showing algicidal activity to the toxic dinoflagellate A. tamarense and these findings would increase our knowledge of bacterial–algal interactions and the role of bacteria during the population dynamics of HABs.     

Heterotrophic microorganisms and viruses in the water of the Gorky reservoir during a period of anomalously high water temperature

During the anomalously hot summer of 2010, the water temperature in the Gorky reservoir reached 27–33°C. Pronounced cyanobacterial blooms occurred in the limnetic part of the reservoir. The average values for bacterioplankton abundance (11.58 ± 1.25 × 10⁶ cell/mL), biomass (886 ± 96 mg/m³), and production [169 ± 32 mg C/(m³ day)] were twice as high as in the year with temperatures comparable to long-term average values. These parameters were higher in the limnetic part than in the river one. The abundance (4.86 ± 0.75 × 10³ cell/mL) and biomass (138 ± 9 mg/m³) of heterotrophic nanoflagellates were 2.3 and 1.7 times higher, respectively, than in years with regular temperature regimes. The average number of plank-tonic viral particles (N _v) in 2010 was 48.89 ± 9.54 × 10⁶ particles/mL, while virus-induced bacterial mortality (VMB) accounted for 26.9 ± 4.6% of the bacterial production. The N _v and VMB values in the limnetic part of the reservoir were, respectively, 1.5 and 1.8 times higher than in the river one.     

Temporal variability of algicidal and growth-inhibiting bacteria at an eelgrass bed in the Ariake Sea,Japan

Abstract

Temporal changes of algicidal and growth-inhibiting bacteria on the fish-killing raphidophyte flagellate, Chattonella antiqua, at an eelgrass (Zostera marina) bed in southern Ariake Sea, Japan in 2011 was investigated. The maximum value (5.1?×?10⁷ CFU g^?1 wet leaf) of algicidal bacteria (AB) was detected from a biofilm formed on Z. marina on August 1 when AB in the adjacent seawater had also peaked (1.2?×?10⁴ CFU mL^?1). Two causative bacteria isolated from the biofilm and seawater on August 1 were both identified to be of the genus Alteromonas (γ-proteobacteria). AB and growth-inhibiting bacteria (GIB) were present from the beginning of sampling (May 20) to August 26, fluctuating between 8.6?×?10² and 1.2?×?10⁴, 1.2?×?10³ and 9.3?×?10³ CFU mL^?1, respectively. The highest phytoplankton density observed was 6423 cells mL^?1 on September 29 and was comprised of centric diatoms such as Chaetoceros, Skeletonema, and Thalassiosira and coincided with the absence of AB and GIB where the decline of Z. marina was also observed. These findings provide a new ecological insight on AB and GIB associated with Z. marina beds, indicating eelgrass beds have the important role as the nursery of those bacteria that can be utilized as mitigation measures of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the future.     

Development of emulsion from rhizobial fermented starch industry wastewater for application as Medicago sativa seed coat

Starch industry wastewater was efficiently employed for the production of Sinorhizobium meliloti and the concentrated culture was used for the development of a biofertilizer formulation. Tween‐80 (0.02 g/L) acted as the best emulsifier for a Sinorhizobium–canola oil emulsion. The stability of the emulsion and survival of the organism was enhanced by supplementation of xanthan gum at pH 8. The refrigerated condition was most favorable for stability and survival of the microorganism. The survival of microorganism at 4±1°C was 2.78×10¹⁰ and 2.01×10¹⁰ CFU (colony forming unit)/mL on storage for 1 and 2 months, respectively. The values were higher than the prescribed cell count (×10³ CFU/mL) for field application. At 40°C, the survival of bacteria reduced from 3×10¹⁰ CFU/mL to 8.1×10⁹ and 8.8×10⁶ CFU/mL in 1 and 2 months, respectively. Emulsion‐coated seed was incubated at different temperatures and a cell count of 10⁵ CFU/seed was observed after 2 months of storage at 4°C, which was equal to the highest level of the described requirement (10³–10⁵ CFU/seed). Emulsion supplemented with xanthan gum improved the shelf‐life under optimized conditions (Sinorhizobium concentrate – canola oil (1:1) emulsion with 0.02 g/L Tween‐80; storage at pH 8 and temperature 4±1°C) and this emulsion with the required cell count and prolonged viability was used for the pre‐inoculation of seed or for in situ soil application.
