Effects of cyanobacteria producing microcystins on seed germination and seedling growth of several agricultural plants

The effects of cyanobacteria aqueous extracts containing Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) on the seed germination and growth of Pisum sativum, Lens esculenta, Zea mays and Triticum durum were investigated. Experiments were carried out on a range of doses of the extract (equivalent to 0, 1.6, 2.9, 5.8, 8.7 and 11.6 μ g MC-LR/mL). The results confirm that these plants were sensitive to cell-free extracts of a toxic Microcystis and that germination inhibition was dose dependent. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that P. sativum is the most sensitive tested species with a 97% germination rate reduction and L. esculenta was the most resistant. At the 8th day, the exposure to the microcystins (MC) resulted in a significant decrease of plant epicotyls length, roots length and a net inhibition of lateral root formation. It is concluded that MC could affect also terrestrial plants seedling germination and growth. Therefore, the use of water for irrigation contaminated by MC could exert negative biochemical effects on seed and plant metabolism which might influence the agricultural crops.     

加拿大一枝黄花提取物对铜绿微囊藻细胞膜和亚显微结构的影响研究

探讨了经加拿大一枝黄花(Solidago canadensis L.)提取物处理后,铜绿微囊藻(Microc ystis aeruginosa)细胞膜相关特性的变化,如膜脂过氧化程度、细胞膜透性、脂肪酸组成和所占比例变化等,并通过电子显微镜观察了铜绿微囊藻细胞的亚显微结构变化,以初步揭示加拿大一枝黄花提取物对铜绿微囊藻抑制效应的机制.结果表明,添加加拿大一枝黄花提取物可使铜绿微囊藻细胞内丙二醛(MDA)累积量增加,加剧了膜脂过氧化反应;改变了铜绿微囊藻细胞内脂肪酸的组成,使不饱和脂肪酸所占比例上升,饱和脂肪酸所占比例下降;经加拿大一枝黄花提取物处理过的藻细胞膜初期出现模糊褶皱、质壁分离等现象,中后期则出现受损、甚至严重破裂等现象,膜系统受损之后,提取物更易进入细胞内,进一步影响藻细胞的内部结构,最终细胞的亚显微结构明显遭到破坏.

电磁环境胁迫对铜绿微囊藻氧化应激和光合固碳酶的影响作用研究

研究了3种典型电磁环境(射频电磁辐射(RF-EMF)、极低频电磁场(ELF-EMF)、交变电场(AEF))胁迫对铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)细胞氧化应激(超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA))和光合固碳酶(核酮糖-1,5-二磷酸羧化酶/加氧酶(Rubisco)、果糖-1,6-二磷酸醛缩酶(FBA))的影响作用.结果表明,短期和长期RF-EMF、ELF-EMF及AEF暴露胁迫铜绿微囊藻细胞,总体能极显著提高藻细胞的SOD活性(p0.01).铜绿微囊藻经RF-EMF、ELF-EMF及AEF短期暴露处理后,均极显著提高了藻细胞内MDA含量(p0.01);铜绿微囊藻经RFEMF、AEF长期暴露处理后,藻细胞内MDA含量极显著降低(p0.01).RF-EMF暴露处理铜绿微囊藻,总体能显著提高藻细胞Rubisco酶活性(p0.05).长期RF-EMF、AEF和ELF-EMF暴露下的铜绿微囊藻,总体表现出FBA酶活性极显著降低(p0.01).以上结果说明,RF-EMF、ELFEMF、AEF均能够诱导铜绿微囊藻发生氧化应激反应.而RF-EMF能够对铜绿微囊藻细胞参与光合作用的关键酶(Rubisco和FBA)产生一定的调控作用,表明射频电磁波能够在一定程度上影响铜绿微囊藻细胞的光合作用.

氮磷限制对铜绿微囊藻生长和产毒的影响

采用分批培养的方式研究了铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)在氮、磷单因子营养限制条件下的生长和产毒情况.结果表明,氮限制对铜绿微囊藻的生长和产毒都有明显的抑制作用,而磷限制对其生长和产毒没有明显的抑制作用.在氮限制条件下,铜绿微囊藻的生物量仅为控制组的30%～50%,产毒量也仅为控制组的10%～60%;并且氮限制会促进细胞分裂,缩短细胞的生长周期.这可能是因为氮是铜绿微囊藻生长和产毒所必需的元素,直接控制着铜绿微囊藻的生长和产毒;所以若培养基中的氮浓度比较低,会直接导致微囊藻的生物量较少和产毒量比较低.磷限制甚至磷被耗尽时对铜绿微囊藻的生长和产毒都影响不大,这可能与铜绿微囊藻体内储存的含磷颗粒物有关.实验结果表明,在本实验条件下,水体中氮限制对铜绿微囊藻的生长和产毒影响较大.
