The characteristics of H6 against Microcystis aeruginosa

Abstract

Algal bloom caused by Microcystis aeruginosa has always been the focus of attention; microbial algal control has the advantages of significant effect, low investment cost, and environmental friendliness; the use of microbial technology to inhibit the bloom has a broad prospect for development. In this study, a strain of Enterobacterium algicidal bacteria screened from a river was used to study the algicidal characteristics against Microcystis aeruginosa using SEM, 3-D EEM and zeta potential. The results showed that the optimal dosage (v/v) of the strain was 5% and the removal rate of algal cells was 70% after 7 days. When the algal density was OD_680nm = 0.3, the removal rate of algal cells reached 83% after 7 days. In the pH range of 5 ~ 11, the removal rate of algal cells was 70 ~ 80% after 7 days. Algicidal bacteria H6 is mainly indirect algae lysis and is supplemented by direct algae lysis. Algicidal bacteria H6 removes algicidal substances by secreting high temperature resistant algicidal substances and algicidal products are humic acids. Algicidal bacterium H6 was a strain of Enterobacterium with good algicidal effect in a wide pH range, which enriched the bacterial resources in the control of cyanobacteria bloom in water. The high temperature resistance of the algae-soluble substance secreted by the algae-soluble substance provided convenience for the subsequent preparation and application of bacterial powder.
