Effects of Light and Temperature on the Metabolic Profiling of Two Habitat-Dependent Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria.

ABSTRACT: Rapid proliferation of cyanobacteria in both benthic and suspended (planktonic) habitats is a major threat to environmental safety, as they produce nuisance compounds such as cytotoxins and off-flavors, which degrade the safety and quality of water supplies. Temperature and light irradiance are two of the key factors in regulating the occurrence of algal blooms and production of major off-flavors. However, the role of these factors in regulating the growth and metabolism is poorly explored for both benthic and planktonic cyanobacteria. To fill this gap, we studied the effects of light and temperature on the growth and metabolic profiling of both benthic (Hapalosiphon sp. MRB220) and planktonic (Planktothricoides sp. SR001) environmental species collected from a freshwater res
