Long-term acclimation might enhance the growth and competitive ability of Microcystis aeruginosa in warm environments

Bogdan Druga et al.

Summary: Research findings indicate that cyanobacteria exhibit higher growth rates and increased abundance in plankton communities after heat acclimation to higher temperatures. The study emphasizes the potential of cyanobacteria to adapt to stressors, with previous acclimation identified as a critical factor shaping the overall structure of plankton communities.

Two co-dominant nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria demonstrate distinct acclimation and adaptation responses to cope with ocean warming

Ping-Ping Qu et al.

Summary: Through experimental evolution methods, this study found that the N-2-fixing cyanobacteria Trichodesmium and Crocosphaera have different responses to long-term ocean warming. Trichodesmium can rapidly and reversibly acclimate to temperature shifts, while Crocosphaera shows irreversible phenotypic changes and whole-genome adaptation. These different strategies help maintain fitness and stabilize key ocean nitrogen cycle functions under future warming scenarios.

Adverse role of colonial morphology and favorable function of microcystins for Microcystis to compete with Scenedesmus

Zeshuang Wang et al.

Summary: In eutrophic freshwaters, Microcystis becomes dominant in phytoplankton communities due to its unique traits and environmental factors. Colony morphology protects it from grazing and unicellular Microcystis has a competitive advantage in nutrient absorption and toxin production. However, its direct competition with green algae without grazing pressure shows that Scenedesmus eventually outcompetes Microcystis. Microcystins inhibit the growth of green algae but stimulate Microcystis, and phosphorus limitation enhances microcystin production. The role of colonies and microcystins in the competition between Microcystis and other phytoplankton is clarified.

Temperature and the size of freshwater phytoplankton

Tamar Zohary et al.

Summary: The literature review found that freshwater phytoplankton become smaller with increasing water temperature, in line with Bergmann's Rule. Experimental and field evidence support this hypothesis, with exceptions mostly explained by indirect effects of temperature on phytoplankton size.

Rising temperature more strongly promotes low-abundance Paramecium to remove Microcystis and degrade microcystins

Wenjie Xu et al.

Summary: This study found that Paramecium multimicronucleatum has strong ability to feed on Microcystis aeruginosa, especially at higher temperatures, and can rapidly degrade microcystins. These findings contribute to the establishment of a new feasible method for the biological control of M. aeruginosa.

Cyanobacterial dominance and succession: Factors, mechanisms, predictions, and managements

Zeshuang Wang et al.

Summary: Eutrophication of natural water bodies globally has led to cyanobacteria becoming dominant in phytoplankton communities, causing significant environmental and economic harm. Cyanobacterial succession poses challenges for effective bloom treatment, with current studies lacking a comprehensive review of advances in this field. Future management strategies for controlling cyanobacterial blooms may involve reducing nutrient inputs, artificial mixing of waters, and biological control methods.

Elevated temperature and toxic Microcystis reduce Daphnia fitness and modulate gut microbiota

Siddiq Akbar et al.

Summary: This study investigated the responses of Daphnia magna gut microbiota to the combined effects of toxic Microcystis aeruginosa and high temperature, and found that they had synergistically negative effects on D. magna performance due to altered gut microbiota. Under good food regime, temperature had no effect on the composition of the gut microbiota; high abundance of symbiotic Comamonadaceae and good food increased D. magna fitness.
