The mixotrophic Ochromonas gloeopara shows strong tolerance and capacity to remove cadmium (Cd), with the increase of phosphorus concentration enhancing its removal capacity.
Cadmium (Cd) is one of the predominant anthropogenic pollutants in aquatic systems. As Cd has negative effects on species at all trophic levels, the community composition in aquatic habitats can be changed as a result of Cd stress. The response of mixotrophic protists to environmental stressors is particularly important as they act as both producers and consumers in complex planktonic communities. In this study, we used mixotrophic Ochromonas gloeopara to study its growth and photosynthetic responses to Cd, and specially focused on the effects of initial Cd concentrations and nutrient levels on its capacity to remove Cd. Results showed that when Cd concentration reached 0.5 mg L-1, the growth rate and carrying capacity were significantly inhibited, whereas the photosynthesis was markedly decreased when Cd concentration reached 0.15 mg L-1. Moreover, under Cd concentration 0.15, 0.5, 0.9, 1.6, and 2.0 mg L-1, the removal efficiencies of Cd by O. gloeopara were 83.2%, 77.7%, 74.6%, 70.1%, and 68.8%, respectively. The increase of nitrogen did not cause significant effect on the removal capacity of Cd by O. gloeopara, but increased concentration of phosphorus significantly enhanced the removal capacity of Cd. Our findings indicated that the mixotrophic O. gloeopara has strong tolerance and capacity to remove Cd, and increasing concentration of phosphorus can increase its removal capacity, suggesting that O. gloeopara has great potential application value in mitigating Cd pollution in waters.
