“…Oxidative damage, including loss of membrane integrity and inhibition of protein synthesis, is also an important mechanism of toxicity of plant allelochemicals against M. aeruginosa (Lu et al, 2016;Tazart et al, 2020). However, allelopathic products can simultaneously stimulate a significant increase in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, e.g., superoxide dismutase and catalase, suggesting their involvement in the elimination of oxidative stress in cyanobacteria (Hong et al, 2008;Lu et al, 2016;Zhang 2015;Hua et al, 2018;Kang et al, 2020;Tazart et al, 2020). Additionally, various phenolic compounds, fatty acids, terpenoids and asarone synthesized by aquatic plants reduce the biomass of cyanobacteria and induce changes in their cell and colonial morphology (Nakai et al, 2000;Rojo et al, 2013;Hang, 2017;Mowe et al, 2019;Tazart et al, 2019).…”
