The combination of microalgal culture and wastewater treatment is an emerging topic. This study investigated the use of different microalgae to treat different types of dairy farm wastewater. The results showed that the removal of ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus by mixed microalgae was over 99% and 80%, respectively. The highest production of protein in biomass and extracellular polymeric substances was observed in high-concentration wastewater. In the phycosphere, the abundance of Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria increased, while that of Bacteroidota decreased. Phycosphere bacteria were strongly correlated with microalgal growth and the composition of extracellular polymeric substances, especially with bound extracellular polymeric substances relative to soluble extracellular polymeric substances. Genes associated with photosynthesis and respiration in phycosphere bacteria were upregulated, contributing to the material exchange capacity in the microalgal-bacterial systems. The interaction between microalgae and phycosphere bacteria thus represents the core of the binary cultivation system-based wastewater treatment and requires further investigation.

This study investigated the role of indigenous and cultivated microalgae in nutrient removal and biomass production in dairy wastewater, especially in microbial function change. Five indigenous and three cultured microalgal strains were grown in sterile and non-sterile dairy wastewater, and nutrient removal and biomass profiles were analysed. Results showed higher phosphorus removal (90.

blooms are of escalating global concern due to their substantial ecological impacts on marine ecosystems. Emerging evidence indicates that algae-bacterial interactions play pivotal roles in shaping the ecology and evolution of harmful algal blooms, although much of this interplay remains unexplored. We successfully isolated and propagated two novel bacterial strains from bloom.

Phytoplankton are known ecosystem engineers that modulate ocean community assembly processes, but the universality and extent of their microbiome control remains unclear. We used incubations and 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequencing to test the influence of Southern and South Pacific oceans dominant phytoplankton on assembly processes and community successions in response to phytoplankton blooms. Phytoplankton grown with reduced-diversity cultures or supplemented with exogenously added microbiomes showed reduced diversity, suggesting environmental filtering.

The cyanobacterium causes harmful algal blooms that pose a major threat to human health and ecosystem services, particularly due to the prevalence of the potent hepatotoxin microcystin (MC). With their pronounced EPS layer, colonies also serve as a hub for heterotrophic phycosphere bacteria. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the genotypic plasticity in its ability to produce MC influences the composition and assembly of the phycosphere microbiome.
