摘要

A new algicidal bacterium strain FM was isolated and identified as Aeromonas sp. based on its 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Phylogenic analysis revealed the closest species was an Aeromonas salmonicida. The cell-free filtrate of FM culture was proved to contribute to the algicidal effect, indicating strain FM exerted algicidal effect on cyanobacteria by its extracellular substances. The algicidal substances were tested to be non-proteinaceous, heat stable, and with a molecular weight of less than 1 kDa. Strain FM could effectively inhibit the growth of cyanobacteria, including species of Microcystis, Planktothrix, Pseudanabaena, Oscillatoria and Anabaena. As Aeromonads are ubiquitous in aquatic habitats, Aeromonas sp. strain FM has application potential in control of harmful cyanobacteria.C1 Li, Li; Shandong Univ, Shandong Prov Key Lab Water Pollut Control and Reso, Sch Environm Sci and Engn, 27 Shanda Nanlu, Jinan 250100, Peoples R ChinaSC Toxicology; Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Public, Environmental & Occupational Health; Chemistry; Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology
