Toxin-producing Anabaena flos-aquae induces settling of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a competing motile alga
Tóm tắt
Toxin production is an adaptation that allows cyanobacteria in resource-limiting environments to ameliorate the effects of herbivory and competition with other phototrophs. We demonstrate that the cyanobacterial toxins anatoxin-a and microcystin-LR paralyze the motile green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In addition, both purified toxins and cyanobacterial extracellular products containing these toxins cause the alga to settle faster than in nontoxic media. In microcosm experiments, the presence of either the cyanobacterium or its extracellular products induce settling in the alga, similar to the response observed with the addition of both anatoxin-a and microcystin-LR. The cyanobacterial production of paralyzing toxins represents a novel mechanism for phytoplankton settling. This prokaryotic/eukaryotic chemical interaction may create a competitor-free zone for cyanobacteria in lake environments, predicating optimal conditions for a toxic cyanobacterial bloom.
