- W2899394634 abstract "Neither the ecological role nor the metabolic function of microcystin is known. Cellular microcystin concentrations correlate to cellular nitrogen status for a given environmental phosphorous concentration and specific growth rate. Microcystin production is enhanced when the rate of nitrogen accumulation exceeds the relative specific growth rate and/or when cellular N:C ratios exceed the Redfield ratio as a function of reduced carbon fixation, suggesting enhanced production of microcystin under carbon stress. Additionally, a strong correlation between medium phosphate and carbon fixation, and the negative correlation between medium phosphate and microcystin combined with the cellular localization of microcystin in thylakoids supports a possible role for microcystin in enhancement of photosynthesis. Batch cultures of both Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806 and a mcyA- knockout mutant of PCC7806 were therefore cultured at different light intensities and media treatments, so as to vary cellular N:C ratios and concentrations, and sampled for analysis of microcystin concentration, cell numbers and residual medium nitrates. Inter-strain differences in photosynthetic electron transfer rates and levels were monitored using a Hansatech PEA fluorometer and compared to cellular microcystin concentrations. An enhanced survival was observed at high light, where the toxic strain survived while the nontoxic strain became chlorotic. A strong correlation (r2 = 0.907, p< 0.001, N=22) between microcystin concentration and growth rate was observed at high light conditions. No such advantage was observed at optimal or low-light conditions and media composition had no significant effect on the relationship between toxicity and survival at high light. PCC7806 showed elevated PI(abs) values compared to the mcyA knockout strain, which indicates an increased stability of PSII. A strong correlation between PI(abs) and microcystin (r = 0.88, p< 0.005, N=15) was observed for cultures grown in modified BG11 containing 25 mM under continuous illumination of 37 μmol of photons m-2.s-1. No correlation was observed between PI(abs) and microcystin for the other treatments. The toxin producer had significantly higher values for density of active reaction centers and ii quantum efficiency compared to the mutant. A decrease in F0 in the mutant suggests degradation of the phycobiliproteins, whereas PCC7806 didn’t show a significant decrease in F0 Data indicate that microcystins play a role in photosynthesis by preventing chlorosis in saturating light conditions either by enhancing the redox stability of the phycobiliproteins or PS II, thus preventing photooxidation." @default.
