P uptake by microbial biofilms can serve as a mechanism to control and mitigate the risk of eutrophication. Microbial biofilms capture P both intracellularly and extracellularly. While the significance of extracellular P entrapment in biofilms in engineered systems has recently been established, little is known about its dynamics in aquatic ecosystems. Current research on eutrophication control predominantly emphasises nitrogen, phosphorus or nitrogen-phosphorus ratio-based approaches, often overlooking the potential indirect influence of bioavailable dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on P uptake by heterotrophic microorganisms. In this study, we tested the effect of bioavailable DOC on P entrapment patterns in biofilms and in biofilm P-regulation mechanisms such as polyphosphate accumulation and alkaline phosphatase activity in semi-natural flow-through experimental flumes. Our results show that intracellular P entrapment is limited by bioavailable DOC, while extracellular P entrapment is independent of bioavailable DOC and has the potential to offset intracellular P saturation. We further demonstrate that DOC bioavailability influences benthic P cycling and that its implications extend into critical areas of ecosystem functioning such as river self-purification, competitive resource utilisation and organic P cycling.</p>","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":"17 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-2229.70115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144190932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
