Spatiotemporal Patterns and Ecophysiology of Toxigenic Microcystis Blooms in Lake Taihu, China: Implications for Water Quality Management

Abstract: Whole lake monitoring of hypertrophic Lake Taihu, China, was conducted during the summers of 2009-2010, with the intent of identifying environmental factors influencing Microcystis bloom formation and promoting the growth of toxigenic strains (mcyE possessing). Low N:P ratios (replete N & P)appeared to select for toxigenic populations of Microcystis spp., whereas nontoxic Microcystis spp. strains were dominant in more nutrient limited regions of the lake. Chlorophyll a (Adj. R(2) = 0.83, p < 0.0001) was equall… Show more

“…In May 2007, a huge algal bloom broke out and significantly impacted the supply of fresh water to about 6.1 million people in Wuxi City (Ye et al 2011). Large amounts of toxins were formed by cyanobacteria which damaged animals and plants during (Otten et al 2012.…”

“…Nitrogen, phosphorous and the ratio of nitrogen and phosphorus were regarded as the important factors for Microcystis blooms and MC production (Chorus et al 2001;Gupta et al 2001;Gobler et al 2007;Jiang et al 2008;Joo et al 2009). However, there were conflicting conclusions on whether the increase of nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations may trigger the increase of the MC production and Microcystis blooms (Watanabe and Oishi 1985;Sivonen 1990;Xu et al 2010;Otten et al 2012;Scott et al 2013).…”

“…The north and west areas were the two extensive studied and hyper-eutrophic areas of recurring and intensifying cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Taihu. (Chuai et al, 2011;Shen et al, 2003b;Paerl et al, 2011;Otten et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2011).…”
