Colonization of toxic cyanobacteria on the surface and inside of leafy green: A hidden source of cyanotoxin production and exposure.

Abstract:

:Cyanobacteria are a threat to the safety of water sources for drinking, recreation, and food production, because some cyanobacteria, such as Microcystis, produce cyanotoxins. However, the colonization of plants by Microcystis and the fate of their toxin, microcystins (MCs), in agricultural environments have not been thoroughly studied. This study examined the colonization of lettuce, as a representative of leafy greens, by Microcystis and its potential impact on food safety and crop health. The surfaces of lettuce leaves were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of M. aeruginosa (104, 106, and 108mcyE gene copies/mL) by mimicking contamination scenarios during cultivation, such as spraying irrigation with contaminated water or deposits of airborne Microcystis. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and droplet digital PCR were used. The results showed that M. aeruginosa colonized the surface of leaves and MCs accumulated in the edible part of the lettuce (>20 μg/kg of lettuce). Crop productivity (length, weight, and number of leaves) was negatively affected. The SEM images provide evidence that M. aeruginosa deposited on the lettuce surface can be internalized via natural opening sites of the leaves and then proliferate within the plants. Our findings imply that toxic cyanobacteria contamination in agricultural environments can be a significant cyanotoxin exposure pathway.
