E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The search for better living conditions has led the residents of the Brazilian semi-arid region to plant forage crops, leading to a gradual decrease in the native vegetation (Caatinga) of this region. The effects caused by the replacement of Caatinga with palm, for example, have been little studied, especially with regard to the physical and hydraulic properties of the soil. The objective of this study was to compare the physical-hydraulic characteristics of a litholic neosol in two areas having different vegetation cover: one area cultivated with forage palm (O. ficus-indica) and the

Noxious toxins produced by HC, collectively referred as cyanotoxins, reduce the water quality and may impact the supply of clean water for drinking as well as the water quality which directly impacts the livelihood of other species including several endangered species. USEPA recently (May 29, 2008) made the decision to add microcystin toxins as an additional cause of impairment for the Klamath River, CA. However, harmful cyanobacteria are some of the less studied causes of impairment in California water bodies and their distribution, abundance and dynamics, as well as the conditions promoting their proliferation and toxin production are not well characterized.

We sequenced the genome of planktic and non planktic Planktothrix strains to better represent this genus diversity and life style at the genomic level. Benthic and biphasic strains are rooting the Planktothrix phylogenetic tree and widely expand the pangenome of this genus. We further investigated in silico the genetic potential dedicated to gas vesicles production, nitrogen fixation as well as natural product synthesis and conducted complementary experimental tests by cell culture, microscopy and mass spectrometry. Significant differences for the investigated features could be evidenced between strains of different life styles. The benthicPlanktothrix strains showed unexpected characteristics such as buoyancy, nitrogen fixation capacity and unique natural product features.

YEAMIN HOSSAIN*, MD. ABU SAYED JEWEL, BERNERD FULANDA, FERDOUS AHAMED, SHARMEEN RAHMAN, SALEHA JASMINE & JUN OHTOMI ABSTRACT The seasonal abundance, dynamics and composition of the filamentous Cyanobacteria Planktothrix spp. was studied over a 1-year period in two storm-water-fed earthen fishponds in Rajshahi city, northwestern Bangladesh. Sampling was conducted monthly using plankton net (25 µm mesh size) and the samples preserved in 5% formalin. Water quality parameters including water temperature, transparency, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), + free carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrite-nitrogen (NO2-N), nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N), ammonium (NH4 ), oxidation reduction index (rH2) were recorded during each sampling. Two species; Planktothrix agardhii and Planktothrix rubescens were identified during the study with P. agardhii recording higher abundance (p<0.05) all year round. The Planktothrix cell density was highest during March: 3.06×106 cells/L and 1.23×106 cells/L in Pond-1 and 2, respectively. The abundance of P. agardhii was relatively higher in spring. The cell densities increased with increasing temperature, pH, and nutrient concentration. Lower cell densities were recorded during periods of high BOD. The results of this study provide a useful guide for aquaculturists and other environmental scientists for the management of the cyanotoxin producing algal blooms of Planktothrix spp. in fertilized fish ponds and other aquatic habitats.

R. (2014): Taxonomic classification of cyanoprokaryotes (cyanobacterial genera) 2014, using a polyphasic approach. – Preslia 86: 295–335. The whole classification of cyanobacteria (species, genera, families, orders) has undergone exten- sive restructuring and revision in recent years with the advent of phylogenetic analyses based on molecular sequence data. Several recent revisionary and monographic works initiated a revision and it is anticipated there will be further changes in the future. However, with the completion of the monographic series on the Cyanobacteria in Süsswasserflora von Mitteleuropa, and the recent flurry of taxonomic papers describing new genera, it seems expedient that a summary of the modern taxonomic system for cyanobacteria should be published. In this review, we present the status of all currently used families of cyanobacteria, review the results of molecular taxonomic studies, descriptions and characteristics of new orders and new families and the elevation of a few subfamilies to family level.

  • The Role of Nitrogen Availability on the Dominance of Planktothrix Agardhii in Sandusky Bay, Lake Erie
    THE ROLE OF NITROGEN AVAILABILITY ON THE DOMINANCE OF PLANKTOTHRIX AGARDHII IN SANDUSKY BAY, LAKE ERIE Daniel H. Peck A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE August 2020 Committee: George Bullerjahn, Advisor Timothy Davis Robert McKay © 2020 Daniel H. Peck All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT George S. Bullerjahn, Advisor Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie are plagued with harmful algal blooms every summer. Sandusky Bay is a drowned river mouth that is very shallow and turbid and is dominated by Planktothrix agardhii, while Lake Erie is dominated by Microcystis aeruginosa. Both species of cyanobacterium are non-diazotrophic and produce microcystin, a hepatotoxin. A competition experiment was conducted culturing both species alone and in coculture at nitrogen (nitrate) replete, nitrate restricted, and nitrogen-free environments. Planktothrix grew better alone at nitrogen restricted medium than in co-culture with Microcystis. In coculture, Microcystis was dominant over Planktothrix however, that dominance decreased as nitrogen was reduced in each treatment. In the nitrogen replete environment, the coculture produced significantly more toxin than the monocultures and in the no nitrogen environment the Planktothrix monoculture produced more toxin than the Microcystis monoculture or the coculture. The community composition in Sandusky Bay was monitored over the winter and spring months (January-April) to see how it changed as time progressed. Nutrient amendment experiments were also conducted adding nitrate, phosphate, and a combination of nitrate and phosphate to stimulate growth and identify any possible nutrient limitations. The initial community yielded low cell densities until the temperature increased and cell abundances followed shortly thereafter.

  • The Effect of Temperature on the Toxicity of Planktothrix Agardhii
    THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE TOXICITY OF PLANKTOTHRIX AGARDHII Christina Moore A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE May 2020 Committee: George Bullerjahn, Advisor Timothy Davis Robert Michael McKay © 2019 Christina Moore All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT George Bullerjahn, Advisor The western basin of Lake Erie has experienced issues with cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) since the 1960s due to various factors over the decades. This resulted in a service shutdown in Northwest Ohio in August of 2014, leaving at least 400,000 people without drinking water for three days. Since then, research has been conducted to learn about two of the cyanobacterial species that reside in western Lake Erie. One of these species is Planktothrix agardhii, a filamentous cyanobacteria species that resides in Sandusky Bay due to nitrogen depletion in the bay. While previous work has looked at the physical and physiological factors that influence the growth of Planktothrix and other cyanobacteria, there are only a few that have looked at factors that drive microcystin production, a toxin found in Plantktothrix, and why these toxins have been produced in the first place. These papers have different ideas as to the purpose of these toxins. A strain of Planktothrix agardhii was grown and acclimated in a growth chamber with ten different temperatures to see how temperature affected the toxicity of the cultures. This involved looking at the cell density, toxin quota, and toxin quota per cell of samples collected during the experiment.

  • Chapter 3. CYANOBACTERIAL TOXINS
    Toxic Cyanobacteria in Water: A guide to their public health consequences, monitoring and management Edited by Ingrid Chorus and Jamie Bartram © 1999 WHO ISBN 0-419-23930-8 Chapter 3. CYANOBACTERIAL TOXINS This chapter was prepared by Kaarina Sivonen and Gary Jones The cyanotoxins are a diverse group of natural toxins, both from the chemical and the toxicological points of view. In spite of their aquatic origin, most of the cyanotoxins that have been identified to date appear to be more hazardous to terrestrial mammals than to aquatic biota. Cyanobacteria produce a variety of unusual metabolites, the natural function of which is unclear, although some, perhaps only coincidentally, elicit effects upon other biota. Research has primarily focused on compounds that impact upon humans and livestock, either as toxins or as pharmaceutically useful substances. Further ranges of non-toxic products are also being found in cyanobacteria and the biochemical and pharmacological properties of these are totally unknown. An overview of the currently identified cyanotoxins is given in section 3.1 and their toxicological properties are discussed in Chapter 4. Studies on the occurrence, distribution and frequency of toxic cyanobacteria were conducted in a number of countries during the 1980s using mouse bioassay. Analytical methods suitable for quantitative toxin determination only became available in the late 1980s, but studies of specific cyanotoxins have been increasing since then. The results of both approaches indicate that neurotoxins are generally less common, except perhaps in some countries where they frequently cause lethal animal poisonings. In contrast, the cyclic peptide toxins (microcystins and nodularins) which primarily cause liver injury are more widespread and are very likely to occur if certain taxa of cyanobacteria are present.
