“…Most of the detected phenolic acids (ferulic, p-coumaric, gallic, protocatechuic, 4-hydroxybenzoic, and syringic) were previously identified in C. demersum 45 , 47 , 48 . However, the presence of 5-caffeoylquinic and isoferulic acid has not been reported in this plant material to date.…”

Aquatic plants are a rich source of health-beneficial substances. One of such organisms is the submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum, which has not been sufficiently studied in this aspect so far. In this work, we have studied environmental conditions prevailing in a subsidence mining reservoir in Eastern Poland and shown that C. demersum can be harvested for further analysis even from artificial anthropogenic reservoirs. The phytochemical analysis of C. demersum ethanolic extract using LC–MS revealed high content of phenolic compounds (18.50 mg/g) (mainly flavonoids, 16.09 mg/g), including those that have not yet been identified in this plant, namely isorhamnetin, sakuranetin, taxifolin, and eriodictyol. Such rich flavonoid content is most likely responsible for the anticancer activity of the C. demersum extract, which was targeted especially at neoplastic cells of gastrointestinal tract origin. The flow cytometry analysis of treated cells showed an increased percentage of late apoptotic and necrotic cells. The fish embryo toxicity (FET) test showed safety of the extract towards Danio rerio fish up to the concentration of 225 µg/ml. This study has shown that the submerged macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum can be taken into consideration as a rich source of a set of anticancer agents with chemopreventive potential.

“…The total content of phenolic compounds in M. spicatum can reach up to 12% (dry weight), and the content of algaecide telimagrandin II-up to 2% [72]. The influence of phenolcarboxylic acids on epiphytic algae has also been demonstrated [73,74]. In this case, gallic, salicylic, and caffeic acids show the highest allelopathic activity, changing the dominant epiphytic algae when the ecological state of water bodies changes.…”

Intense “blooming” of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) caused by eutrophication and climate change poses a serious threat to freshwater ecosystems and drinking water safety. Preventing the proliferation of cyanobacteria and reducing water nutrient load is a priority for the restoration of eutrophic water bodies. Aquatic plants play an important role in the function and structure of aquatic ecosystems, affecting the physiochemistry of the water and bottom sediments, primary production, and biotic interactions that support a balanced ecosystem. This review examines the inhibitory effect of aquatic vascular plants on harmful blooms of cyanobacteria. Aquatic plants are able to successfully inhibit the growth of cyanobacteria through various mechanisms, including by reducing nutrient and light availability, creating favorable conditions for the development of herbivorous zooplankton, and releasing allelopathic active substances (allelochemicals) with algicidal effect. Allelopathy is species-specific and therefore acts as one of the key mechanisms by which the development of cyanobacterial populations in aquatic ecosystems is regulated. However, allelopathic activity of aquatic vascular plants depends on various factors (species characteristics of aquatic plants, area, and density of overgrowth of water bodies, physiochemical properties of allelopathically active substances, hydrological and hydrochemical regimes, temperature, light intensity, etc.), which may regulate the impact of allelochemicals on algal communities. The paper also discusses some problematic aspects of using fast-growing species of aquatic vascular plants to control cyanobacterial blooms.

The composition and content of phenol carboxylic acids was studied in water bodies among higher aquatic plants of various ecological groups: emergent (Typha angustifolia L., Scirpus lacustris L., and Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.), submerged (Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Myriophyllum spicatum L.), and with floating leaves (Trapa natans L. and Nuphar lutea L.). The following acids were found in the water among higher aquatic plants: benzoic, lilac, vanillic, gallic, n-oxybenzoic, protocatechuic, α-resorcylic, β-resorcylic, salicylic, ferulic, caffeic, cinnamic, coumaric, and sinapic. Their total concentration in the water among the specimens of T. angustifolia accounted for 114.7 μg/L, Sc. lacustris - 24.71 μg/L, T. natans - 56.14 μg/L, N. lutea -19.3 μg/L, C. demersum -25.42-38.66 μg/L, and M. spicatum - 1.42-2.83 μg/L. The analysis of the content of phenol carboxylic acids in the water among the specimens of Ph. australis during the spring-autumn period revealed significant differences both in the ratio of individual acids and in their distribution by groups. The maximal concentration of benzoic and salicylic acids in the water was registered at the beginning of Ph. australis development, whereas the maximal content of vanillic and gallic acids - during plant active vegetation. The lowest content of cinnamic and ferulic acids was recorded at the beginning of vegetation season. Cluster analysis of the content of phenol carboxylic acids in the water among the specimens of C. demersum and M. spicatum at two sampling stations (Sobache Gyrlo Bay and Verblyud Bay in the Kaniv Reservoir) made it possible to reveal two groups of the studied substances. The first group included benzoic and gallic acids and the second group - other acids. The use of the principal component analysis (PCA) made it possible to establish a significant correlation between the composition and content of phenol carboxylic acids in the water among higher aquatic plants and dominant plant species. This fact is indicative of the leading role of higher aquatic plants in the formation of the pool of these substances in the water.
