Bioremediation using isolated anti-cyanobacterial microorganism has been widely applied in harmful algal blooms (HABs) control. In order to improve the secretion of activated anti-cyanobacterial substances, and lower the cost, a sequential optimization of the culture medium based on statistical design was employed for enhancing the anti-cyanobacterial substances production and chlorophyll a (Chl a) removal by Streptomyces sp. HJC-D1 in the paper. Sucrose and KNO3 were selected as the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources based on the one-at-a-time strategy method, and sucrose, KNO3 and initial pH were found as major factors that affected the anti-cyanobacterial ability of the isolated stain via the Plackett-Burman design. Based on the response surface and canonical analysis, the optimum condition of culture medium was obtained at 22.73 g l(-1) of sucrose, 0.96 g l(-1) of KNO3, and initial pH 8.82, and the Chl a removal efficiency by strain HJC-D1 increased from 63 ± 2 % to 78 ± 2 % on the optimum conditions.
An antialgal bacterium, Streptomyces sp. HJC-D1, was applied for the biodegradation of cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa, and the isolation and characterization of dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions in antialgal products were studied. Results showed the the growth of M. aeruginosa was significantly inhibited by the cell-free filtrate of Streptomyces sp. HJC-D1 with the growth inhibition of 86 ± 7 %. The antialgal products were divided using resin adsorbents into the hydrophilic fraction (HPI), hydrophobic acid (HPO-A), transphilic acid (TPI-A), hydrophobic neutral and transphilic neutral, and then the five fractions were analyzed by the 3-D fluorescence spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results indicated that the HPI component was the most abundant DOM fraction in the antialgal products, and its concentration was increased with the increase of cell-free filtrate concentration. The fluorescence peak location and intensity analysis showed that the protein-, fulvic-, and humic-like substances were dominant in the HPI, HPO-A, and TPI-A fractions, and intensities of the relevant fluorescence peaks were stronger in the experimental groups than those of the control groups. It was also found that the number-average molecular weight of DOM fractions ranged from 245 to 1,452 g mol(-1), and thereinto organic acids such as HPO-A and TPI-A exhibited lower molecular weights.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
