Abstract
The allelopathic effect of macrophytes to phytoplankton has been widely formalized and accepted, while, less attention has been paid to aquatic vegetable. Herein, we investigated the inhibitory ability of Ipomoea aquatica (I. aquatica) at different concentrations to Microcystis aeruginosa, and verified the inhibition effect of main allelopathic substances. Results showed that, I. aquatica root secretion solution could effectively inhibit the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa (95%), and exhibited a concentration dependent effect. Seven potential allelopathic substances was both detected in root exudates and secretion solution of I. aquatic, they were succinic acid, salicylic acid, cinnamic acid, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid, trans-cinnamic aldehyde, coumarin, and isophorone. Exogenous addition experiment further verified the inhibition effect, and the inhibition level varied with the types. Succinic acid, salicylic acid and cinnamic acid showed the tendency of promotion in lower concentration and inhibition in high concentration, with the inhibition threshold of 0.8 mmol/L, which was positively correlated with its concentration. 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid, coumarin and isophorone showed strong inhibition on Microcystis aeruginosa when the concentration was higher than 0.2 mmol/L, which was positively correlated with its concentration and co-culture time. Ipomoea aquatica can continuously release allelopathic substances under natural conditions and is expected to contribute to the restoration of aquatic ecosystems.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
