AI Article Synopsis

  • - The text highlights the need to control harmful algal blooms, specifically focusing on inhibiting the reproduction of Microcystis aeruginosa in eutrophicated waters using natural methods.
  • - Researchers explored the allelopathic effects of allelochemicals from different groups of terrestrial plants, including herbaceous, woody, and medicinal plants, to combat algae over-reproduction.
  • - The study outlines methods for classifying, separating, and identifying these allelochemicals, while also discussing their mechanisms of action and suggesting future directions for developing algistats (substances that inhibit algal growth).

Article Abstract

The inhibition of algae reproduction and control of harmful algal bloom are the primary challenges in the ecological restoration of eutrophicated water. It is urgent to inhibit algae over-reproduction in green and effective ways, one of which is the use of plant allelopathic effect. How-ever, few study focused on allelochemicals of terrestrial plants. Here, we introduced inhibition of Microcystis aeruginosa over-reproduction by allelochemicals from three categories of terrestrial plants, including herbaceous plants (Compositae/Papaveraceae, Liliaceae, Graminaceae), woody plants, and Chinese medicine plants. The classification, separation and identification of alleloche-micals from terrestrial plants that could be used for the inhibition of M. aeruginosa were summarized. Finally, the allelopathic mechanism to inhibit M. aeruginosa was discussed in detail to support the development of algistat. We also proposed some suggestions for the further development of algistat.
