Journal Article
Allelopathic interactions of linoleic acid and nitric oxide increase the competitive ability of Microcystis aeruginosa
2017
Overview
The frequency and intensity of cyanobacterial blooms are increasing worldwide with major societal and economic costs. Interactions between toxic cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algal competitors can affect toxic bloom formation, but the exact mechanisms of interspecies interactions remain unknown. Using metabolomic and proteomic profiling of co-cultures of the toxic cyanobacterium
Microcystis aeruginosa
with a green alga as well as of microorganisms collected in a
Microcystis
spp. bloom in Lake Taihu (China), we disentangle novel interspecies allelopathic interactions. We describe an interspecies molecular network in which
M. aeruginosa
inhibits growth of
Chlorella vulgaris
, a model green algal competitor, via the release of linoleic acid. In addition, we demonstrate how
M. aeruginosa
takes advantage of the cell signaling compound nitric oxide produced by
C. vulgaris
, which stimulates a positive feedback mechanism of linoleic acid release by
M. aeruginosa
and its toxicity. Our high-throughput system-biology approach highlights the importance of previously unrecognized allelopathic interactions between a broadly distributed toxic cyanobacterial bloom former and one of its algal competitors.
