Fecha de publicación: | 2005 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Journal of Applied Phycology 17(3) : 231-243 (2005) | Resumen: | The development of epilithic cyanobacteria communities in a Mediterranean calcareous stream in the province of Murcia (SE Spain) was studied during the course of one year in an attempt to clarify the environmental variables that influence the production of microcystins. The predominant cyanobacteria were species of Rivularia, which formed conspicuous colonies throughout the year. Seasonally, other species were abundant: Schizothrix fasciculata, Tolypothrix distorta and Phormidium splendidum. All the species collected produced microcystins to a varying degree (up to five varieties), while the benthic community as a whole produced concentrations as high as 20.45 mgm−2. At the same time, the presence of microcystins dissolved in water was confirmed. Among environmental variables, air temperature and silicate content were positively and strongly correlated with total microcystins, while nitrite, nitrate, orthophosphate, calcium and flow were negatively correlated with them. Dissolved microcystins were negatively correlated with microcystin LR, P.A.R. and total phosphorus and positively with rainfall. The production of microcystin YR seems to be regulated by different factors from those regulating the other main varieties (microcystin LR and microcystin RR). The data obtained indicate that all the tested benthic cyanobacteria produced microcystins in this shallow calcareous stream, which may contribute to their predominance in the prevailing conditions. The accumulation of microcystins in mucilaginous colonies of other groups of algae poses new questions concerning the possible ecological function of these compounds and needs further study. | Descripción: | 13 páginas, 4 tablas, 8 figuras. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10811-005-2999-z | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/40473 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10811-005-2999-z | ISSN: | 0921-8971 |
