“…Occurrences of Dolichospermum species and their toxins in large quantities have been documented in numerous water bodies (e.g., Tsujimura and Okubo, 2003;Cook et al, 2004;John and Kemp, 2006;Karjalainen et al, 2007;Kravchuk, 2009;Ciré s et al, 2013;Wang et al, 2013;Callieri et al, 2014), and the incidences of public exposure through drinking water or recreational activities have become more serious (e.g., Bowling and Baker, 1996;Al-Tebrineh et al, 2012), making a review on Dolichospermum cyanobacteria timely. Options for controlling or mitigating cyanobacterial blooms and their toxins have been previously summarized (Jia et al, 2010;Ho et al, 2012;Shao et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2013;Lü rling and Tolman, 2014;Steffen et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2014;Zamyadi et al, 2015) and will not be discussed here. In this review, knowledge of waterbloom forming Dolichospermum is summarized, focussing on taxonomy, the status of genomic information that is beginning to facilitate studies on the detailed controls of bloom dynamics, and the potential hazards caused by these blooms and their toxins.…”

“…Therefore, the removal of harmful cyanobacterial blooms is a crucial step for the maintenance of safe water supplies and for the safety of aquatic products [4]. Recent years have seen many studies relating to the isolation and identification of allelochemicals from aquatic plants [5][6][7][8], while the algicidal properties of terrestrial plants still get less attention [9].…”

Eutrophication is a worldwide problem in aquatic ecosystems and cyanobacterial blooms can cause severe water quality deterioration due to toxin production, hypoxia, off-flavor problems that lead to illness in animals and humans [1][2][3]. Therefore, the removal of harmful cyanobacterial blooms is a crucial step for the maintenance of safe water supplies and for the safety of aquatic products [4]. Recent years have seen many studies relating to the isolation and identification of allelochemicals from aquatic plants [5][6][7][8], while the algicidal properties of terrestrial plants still get less attention [9]. Up to now, the extracts of many terrestrial plants also show inhibitory effects against cyanobacteria, such as barley straw [10][11][12][13], Chinese traditional medicines [9,14,15], and so on.Pomegranate (Punicagranatum), belonging to the family Punicaceae [16], is one of the oldest edible fruits. It has been cultivated extensively in Mediterranean countries, Iran, India, and to some extent in the U.S. (California), China, Japan, and Russia [17]. Pomegranate peels and seeds Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 24, No. 4 (2015), 1803-1807 AbstractMany studies have involved the isolation and identification of allelochemicals from aquatic plants, but the algicidal properties of terrestrial plants have received less attention. This study aims to identify allelochemicals of ethyl acetate extracts from three plant materials (shaddock peel, pomegranate peel, pomegranate seed) and to investigate their inhibitory effects on Microcystis aeruginosa. The ethyl acetate extracts of the three plant materials were identified by GC-MS. Finally, 19 kinds of compounds (including organic acids, ester, ketone, sterol, etc.) were obtained and eight kinds of organic acids and N-phenyl-2-Naphthalenamine were proved to be allelochemicals. The inhibitory effects of the ethyl acetate extracts were also explored by M. aeruginosa bioassay. This showed that the inhibition percentages of ethyl acetate extracts of the three plant materials on the growth of M. aeruginosa were 43.9%, 47.5%, and 40.3%, respectively, when the algae were treated at a dosage of 20 mg/L extracts.Keywords: allelopathic effect, shaddock peel, pomegranate peel, pomegranate seed, Microcystis aeruginosa *e-mail: zhanglieyu@163.com **e-mail: shpcheng@foxmail.com DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/36986 as a byproduct of pomegranate processing are about 26-30%, 20% (w/w) of the whole fruit weight, respectively [18,19], and are a good source of secondary products such as tannins, organic acid, polyphenol, and alkaloids [20][21][22]. Shaddock, like other citrus fruits, has a small edible portion and large amounts of waste materials such as peels and seeds, and peels contain considerable phenolic compounds [23]. At present, the polyphenols have shown significant inhibition to the growth of harmful algae. Therefore, these previous results indicate that the shaddock peel, pomegranate peel, and pomegranate seed could be used as an algicide.The objectives of this study are to identify the alle...

“…This was because sites 1 and 3 had higher turbidity due to the inflow of organic matters from the surrounding areas and rainfalls whereas site 2 had an inflow of stream water from the nearby weir constructed at the upstream, which made faster flow and lower turbidity (diatoms) than other two sites. The growth inhibition or promotion of periphyton such as diatoms has been known to be affected by a flow rate, turbidity, and DO in streams [9], [10]. …”

Abstract-When the ecological river restoration projects using the concrete material are performed, various biological problems can occur as a result of that water quality degradation due to strong alkali and heavy metal such as lead and chromium and exposure of aquatic organisms to toxic environments during long term. Thus, in this study, biological monitoring (biomass and community characteristics, etc.) and health evaluation were carried out by attached algae using application of vegetation-based polyurethane as non-toxic material for the ecological restoration of rivers. Experiments are evaluated ecological property for non-toxic materials using concrete bricks, coated plant-based polyurethane concrete bricks and natural stone. In addition, the target river was investigated by basic biological research.Index Terms-Non-toxic material, plant-based polyurethane, ecological health, periphyton, monitoring.
