Abstract:
:By testing time-dependent IC50 of luteolin against Microcystis growth, this study revealed 6.5 mg/L as nearly IC50 value during prolonged stress until day 14, and explored chlorophyll-a (CLA) and phycobiliproteins (PBPs) contents, antioxidant responses and microcystin (MC)-production/-release dynamics at rising luteolin doses (0.5~2-fold IC50). Growth inhibition ratio (GIR) generally rose at rising luteolin dose, while at each dose GIR firstly increased and then leveled off or dropped. In early stage, CLA, allophycocyanin (APC), phycoerythrin (PE) and glutathione (GSH) contents, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, were increasingly stimulated at rising luteolin dose to enhance energy yield and antioxidant defense, but Microcystis was damaged more severely at rising dose, due to stress-repair imbalance. Such more severe damage in early stage, coupled with stronger PBPs-inhibition in mid-late stage, at rising dose could jointly account for rising GIR at rising dose. The CAT/GSH-stimulation persisting until late stage could alleviate cell damage in late stage, which explained for why GIR no longer increased in late stage at each luteolin dose. Besides, more MCs were produced and retained in cell to exert protective roles against luteolin-stress in early stage, but intracellular MCs decreased following inhibited MC-production by prolonged stress to decrease cell protectant. Extracellular MCs detection showed that less MCs amount existed in water phase than control along luteolin-stress, implying luteolin as eco-friendly algaecide with promising potential to remove MPM blooms and MC-risks. This is the first study to reveal the effect of various luteolin doses on MC-production/release and PBP-synthesis dynamics of Microcystis during prolonged stress. The findings shed novel views in anti-algal mechanisms of luteolin, and provided direct evidence for luteolin applied as safe agent to remediate Microcystis-dominant blooms.
