Growth inhibition and possible mechanism of oleamide against the toxin-producing cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa NIES-843

Abstract: Oleamide, a fatty acid derivative, shows inhibitory effect against the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. The EC50 of oleamide on the growth of M. aeruginosa NIES-843 was 8.60 ± 1.20 mg/L. In order to elucidate the possible mechanism of toxicity of oleamide against M. aeruginosa, chlorophyll fluorescence transient, cellular ultrastructure, fatty acids composition and the transcription of the mcyB gene involved in microcystins synthesis were studied. The results of chlorophyll fluorescence tra… Show more

“…There was no typical J, I, and P phases in the treatment of pH 4.0, meaning that PS II was severely damaged when the pH fell to 4.0. The PI abs is a general index reflecting the performance of PSII [ 29 ]. As indicated in Figure 3 , PI abs was severely inhibited by the acidification of paddy floodwater.…”

“…As a prokaryote, M. aeruginosa only contains a thylakoid cell membrane (Shao et al 2016),which contains a variety of enzymes required for physiological and biochemical reactions (Lee et al 2018). The lack of a cell wall and the delicate cell membranes renders the outermost layer of the cell vulnerable to allelochemicals released by Spirogyra, and it is likely that the inhibition effect on the alga was due to a loss of cell membrane integrity that led to a disruption of enzymatic pathways and metabolic activity in the algae.…”

“…The qPCR reaction was prepared with final volumes of 10 μL containing 5 μL of Master Mix (SYBR Green, CWBIO, China), 0.2 μL of each primer (10 μmol L −1 ), and 0.4 μL cDNA and 4 μL of sterile water. The qPCR conditions were set as follows: 95 °C for 10 min; 40 cycles at 95 °C for 15 s, 59 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s. The relative transcription level of the mcyB gene was calculated using 2 −ΔΔCt where ΔΔCt = (Ct target gene − Ct 16S rrn ) stress − (Ct target gene − Ct 16Srrn ) control [ 29 ].…”
