The assays of first exposure and second exposure effects with tetracycline (TC) on the freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa and chlorophyceae Selenastrum capricornutum were investigated by determining a battery of parameters including algal biomass, chlorophyll fluorescence index Fv/Fm, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonaldehyde (MDA) in this study. In general, TC could significantly inhibit the growth and physiological progress including primary photochemistry and antioxidant system. However, upon the second exposure, the inhibitory effects of TC were decreased compared to the first exposure. And it suggests that Fv/Fm, SOD and MDA were more sensitive than algal biomass. In addition, M. aeruginosa showed stronger survivability than S. capriconutum.

Viruses that infect cyanobacteria are an integral part of aquatic food webs, influencing nutrient cycling and ecosystem health. However, the significance of virus host range, replication efficiency, and host compatibility on cyanobacterial dynamics, growth, and toxicity remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of cyanophage additions on the dynamics and activity of optimal, sub-optimal, and non-permissive cyanobacterial hosts in cultures of Microcystis aeruginosa and Raphidiopsis raciborskii.

Under temperature and CO level rising, the dominance of toxic cyanobacteria in primary producers is continuously increasing the risks of water safety and hindering functions of aquatic ecosystems. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the efficiency of algal control measures under climate warming. Based on highly efficient control of cyanobacteria by protozoan reported in previous studies, this study aimed to investigate top-down effect of protozoan Paramecium on toxic Microcystis under CO-mediated climate warming.

2,6-Dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (2,6-DCBQ) is an emerging chlorinated disinfection byproduct (DBP) in bodies of water. However, this compound poses an unknown toxic effect on cyanobacteria. In this study, the toxicological mechanisms of 2,6-DCBQ in () were investigated through physiological and nontargeted metabolomic assessments.

Grazing by zooplankton can regulate bloom-forming cyanobacteria but can also transfer toxin-producing cells, as well as toxic metabolites, to the food web. While laboratory investigations have provided extensive knowledge on zooplankton and toxic cyanobacteria interactions, information on zooplankton feeding on toxin-producing cyanobacteria in natural water bodies remains scarce. In this study, we quantified -specific synthase genes from the gut contents of various cladoceran and copepod taxa to assess the in situ crustacean community and taxon-specific ingestion of potentially toxic in Lake Peipsi, a large eutrophic lake in Estonia, Northern Europe.
