The proliferation rule of Microcystis aeruginosa under different initial pH conditions and its influence on the pH value of the environment

This study investigated the characteristics of the proliferation process of Microcystis aeruginosa and its changes to environmental pH values under different initial pH values and different initial inoculation densities. The results showed that although the initial pH value or the initial inoculation density was different, the pH values of the culture systems fluctuated up and down throughout the proliferation of M. aeruginosa, both on a daily and hourly time scale, and then tended to stabilize around the same value of 10.0 at the end of proliferation. The optimal pH value for the proliferation of M. aeruginosa was 9.55. This study creatively proposes that the period when the environmental pH value starts to rise rapidly toward 9.0 could be selected as an early warning period for a cyanobacterial outbreak, and the environmental pH value could be adjusted to below 8.0 to delay the outbreak. These results provide a scientific basis for further understanding the mechanism of cyanobacterial blooms and formulating pH-based control strategies.


Introduction
Cyanobacterial blooms remain a highly concerning water environmental issue around the world (Casillas-Ituarte et al. 2020;Mellios et al. 2020;Weber et al. 2020). Outbreaks of cyanobacterial blooms consume a large amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, reduce the transparency of the water, and produce toxic and harmful substances, such as microcystins (Funkey et al. 2014;Su et al. 2019). Outbreaks also affect the growth and reproduction of other aquatic organisms, destroy the overall structure and function of the aquatic ecosystem, and ultimately cause serious imbalances in the aquatic ecosystem Jia et al. 2019;Krztoń and Kosiba 2020). In China, exogenous pollution has been controlled to a certain extent through constant improvements in relevant laws and regulations and a strengthening of the supervision over polluting enterprises. The control of endogenous factors has become one of the main areas of research to curb and prevent outbreaks of cyanobacterial blooms (Wang et al. 2016a;Wang et al. 2016b). Under natural conditions, many phytoplankton can react to changes in physical, chemical, and biological factors. Therefore, many endogenous factors, such as pH, water temperature, flow velocity, wind speed, light, nutrient concentration (nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), carbon (C), etc.), and biological community structure, may restrict bloom outbreaks (Davis et al. 2015;Huang et al. 2020;Jiang et al. 2019;Kim et al. 2020;Ma et al. 2015;Santos et al. 2011). Among them, the pH of the water has a significant influence on the life activities, material metabolism, and other processes of cyanobacteria. Whether outbreaks of cyanobacterial blooms can be controlled or restrained by adjusting the pH value of the water is a scientific question worthy of further exploration.
The growth of microalgae is sensitive to changes in pH, and the pH of the water has a significant impact on the growth of most algae, including cyanobacteria. For example, when the pH value is 7.0, Scenedesmus species can achieve maximum productivity, while under acidic conditions, the density of algal cells decreases linearly (Difusa et al. 2015). The biomass and lipid productivity of Tetraselmis suecica and Responsible Editor: Vitor Vasconcelos Chlorella sp. were maximized at pH 7.5 and 7.0, respectively, and their maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) was significantly increased at these pH values (Moheimani 2013). For cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa showed different growth patterns under different pH values. When the pH value was 5.0, the growth of M. aeruginosa was inhibited, while under neutral and weakly alkaline conditions (pH 7.0-9.0), M. aeruginosa had a competitive advantage in the algal community (Yang et al. 2018). Santos et al. (2011) found that different pH values had different effects on the growth rate, cell yield, and cell morphology of Anabaenopsis elenkini, and the growth of A. elenkini was inhibited at lower pH values.
Organisms that can adapt to and transform the environment form one of the basic principles of ecology; the growth of cyanobacteria is affected by environmental pH, and its growth can also change the environmental pH value. At present, a large number of studies investigating the effect of initial pH on the growth of cyanobacteria have been carried out in the laboratory (Kozak et al. 2019;Santos et al. 2011;Yang et al. 2018), but few studies have been conducted on the changes in the pH value of the environment during the growth of cyanobacteria. In this study, M. aeruginosa was used to study the characteristics of its proliferation process under different initial pH values and the resulting changes in the environmental pH. A proliferation equation was fitted, and the instantaneous growth rate and the optimal pH value were calculated. At the same time, inoculations with different initial algae densities were also studied. The aim was to preliminarily explore the interaction between the proliferation process of cyanobacterial blooms and the pH value of the environment to provide a scientific basis for further understanding the mechanism of cyanobacterial bloom breakout and formulating pH-based prevention and control countermeasures.

Algal cultivation
Microcystis aeruginosa (FACHB 905) was obtained from the Freshwater Algae Culture Collection at the Institute of Hydrobiology (FACHB). Inocula were cultured in BG-11 medium (Table 1) at 25°C (v:v, 1:5) and 2200 lx incandescent light (light:dark, 12:12 h), and the culture was shaken regularly 3 times a day until logarithmic growth. All experiments were conducted in three parallel groups under aseptic conditions.

Culture methods under different initial pH values
Hydrochloric acid (0.1 M) and sodium hydroxide (0.1 M) were used to adjust the pH values of the medium to 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0. Appropriate amounts of algal culture were centrifuged (8000 r/min, 5 min), and the sediments were inoculated into the cultures with different initial pH values.

Culture methods under different initial inoculation densities
The pH value of the medium was adjusted to 9.0 with hydrochloric acid (0.1 M) and sodium hydroxide (0.1 M). Fifteenmilliliter, 30-ml, and 60-ml algal cultures were centrifuged (8000 r/min, 5 min), and the sediments were inoculated into 150 ml of medium. The initial algal densities of the different inoculation groups from low to high were 0.5 times, 1 times, and 2 times of the standard inoculation density; these groups were later referred to as the "low-density inoculation group," the "medium-density inoculation group," and the "high-density inoculation group," respectively.

Measurement of algal density
The absorbance of algal cultures was measured at 680 nm (Jian et al. 2019), and the number of algal cells was then counted under an optical microscope (Carl Zeiss, Scope A1) using a plankton counting frame (0.1 ml). The algae culture was diluted 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 times, and the above operation was repeated to obtain the corresponding relationship between algae density and absorbance as follows: where N is the concentration of algal cells (10 6 cells/ml) and A is the absorbance of the algal culture.

Fitting of growth curve
The algal density (10 6 cells/ml) was selected as the growth index, the logistic equation (Equation 1) was fitted with the corresponding data of algal density over culture time, and the curve obtained was the growth curve. The specific calculation and drawing tasks were completed by Origin Pro 2020b: "Analysis"→ "Fitting"→ "Nonlinear Curve Fit"→ "Growth/Sigmoidal"→ "Logistic function." The Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm was adopted for the iterative algorithm. The logistic equation was as follows: where D is a function, t is the time, and K, a, and r are the constants.

Determination of the pH value of the culture
An appropriate amount of algal culture was centrifuged (8000 r/min, 5 min), and the pH value of the supernatant was determined using a precision digital pH meter (Mettler Toledo Instruments, Shanghai, Co., Ltd., Five Easy Plus-FE 28).

Determination of optimum pH value for algal proliferation
The first derivative of the growth curve equation was calculated to obtain the instantaneous growth rate of M. aeruginosa under different initial pH values and different culture times (Su et al. 2001). A fitting curve between the initial pH value and its corresponding maximum instantaneous growth rate was constructed, and the pH value corresponding to the highest peak value of the obtained curve was the optimal pH value. The specific calculation and drawing tasks were completed by Origin Pro 2020b: After selecting the target growth curve, "Analysis"→ "Mathematics"→ the first derivative under "Differentiate" was selected to obtain the curve of the instantaneous growth rate. After determining the target data points, the second-order polynomial under "Analysis"→ "Fitting"→ "Fit Polynomials" was selected to obtain the fitting curve of the initial pH value and its corresponding highest instantaneous growth rate.

Statistical analysis
Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test for mean comparisons using SPSS 20.0. Data (mean standard error, n=3) with different lowercase letters indicate a significant difference (P<0.05) assessed by one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan's test for multiple comparisons.

Proliferation of M. aeruginosa under different initial pH values
The growth curve is the relation curve that expresses the number of microbiological cells over time. Figure 1 illustrates the growth curves of M. aeruginosa density with culture time under different initial pH values. The proliferation process of M. aeruginosa was consistent with the "S"-type growth curve, and the main proliferation process could be divided into four stages: 0-2 days was the adjustment adaptation period, 3-10 days was the logarithmic growth period, 11-13 days was the stable period, and after 14 days was the decline period. When the initial pH value was 6.0, the algal density was significantly lower than that of the other groups during the entire proliferation process, and the proliferation rate of the algal cells was significantly slower. In the logarithmic growth period, algal density growth was approximately positively correlated with the initial pH value and increased with increasing initial pH value. However, when the pH value rose to 9.0 and 10.0, the growth of the algae density was basically the same.

Proliferation of M. aeruginosa under different initial inoculation densities
The growth curves of M. aeruginosa under different initial inoculation densities are shown in Fig. 2. The growth curves of the inoculation groups with different initial densities also conformed to the "S"-type growth curve, and the growth process was faster when the inoculation density was higher. The four stages of M. aeruginosa proliferation in the high-density inoculation group could be roughly divided as follows: the adjustment adaptation period was 0-2 days, the logarithmic growth period was 2-10 days, the stable period was 11-13 days, and the decline period was after 13 days. However, the proliferating stages in the low-density inoculation group could be divided as follows: 0-3 days was the adjustment period, 4-16 days was the logarithmic growth period, and after 16 days was the stable period. Although the initial algal density in the high-density group was approximately 4 times that in the lowdensity group, there was no significant difference in the ultimate algal density, except that there was an obvious time difference of approximately 9 days. Therefore, the initial inoculation density had no substantial influence on the ultimate maximum culture density, but the higher the inoculation density was, the shorter the culture time to reach the maximum algal density. That is, the initial inoculation density only affected the time to reach the peak value but did not affect the peak size itself. This may be one reason why in some eutrophic waters, while the low temperature in winter kills most cyanobacteria and the remaining algal density is not high, cyanobacterial blooms still break out with relative ease in spring and summer as the temperature rises gradually.

Changes in the pH values of algal cultures during the proliferation of M. aeruginosa
Variations in the pH values of algal cultures with culture time under different initial pH values Figure 3a shows that regardless of the initial pH value, each culture group eventually reaches an almost identical pH value of approximately 10.0 (9.97-10.07). In the specifically change process, the four culture groups with initial pH values of 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0 all exhibited a rapid rise in pH value in the early stage, followed by a slow, fluctuating rise, and finally stabilization of the pH value. However, when the initial pH value was 10.0, the culture showed visibly different trends, exhibiting a rapid decline in pH in the early stage, followed by a continuous slow rise, and finally stabilization.
The changes in the pH values of algal cultures with increasing algal density under different initial pH conditions are presented in Fig. 3b. Before the algal density reached 3.50×10 6 cell/ml, the pH value of the algal culture increased rapidly with increasing algal density until it reached 9.0; then, the pH value no longer continued to rise rapidly and only showed a slow increase until it stabilized between 9.97 and 10.07. At this time, the algal density was as high as 35×10 6 cell/ml, which was 10 times that of the starting density. Thus, in eutrophic water with M. aeruginosa as the main phytoplankton, a rapid rise in the pH value may be the result of the proliferation of M. aeruginosa, and it may be able to be used as a potential warning indicator for an imminent outbreak of cyanobacterial blooms. Figure 4 suggests that when the initial pH was 9.0, the pH values of the inoculation groups with different initial densities increased rapidly within 2 days after inoculation and then fluctuated irregularly until 11 days later, the pH values of the medium and the high inoculation density groups tended to be flat, but the pH values of the low inoculation density group remained unstable. It may be that the algae in the medium and the high inoculation density groups reached the growth stable period in 11 days, while the growth stable period of the low inoculation density group appeared after 16 days (Fig. 2). At the same time, according to the significance analysis, it can be seen that there was no significant difference in the change of pH value under different initial inoculation density, but they all fluctuated in the range of 9.39-10.37.

Variations in the pH values of algal cultures in different culture periods within 24 h
To explore the short-term change in algal culture pH, the pH values of the algal cultures were continuously monitored for 24 h (once every hour) on the 3rd day and the 6th day, and the results are shown in Fig. 5. It was found that the pH value did not exhibit a stable or linear change within 24 h on either the 3rd day or the 6th day but fluctuated from time to time with a similar general downward and then upward trend, and the duration of each stage was different. There was no distinct difference in the pH values of the algal cultures at the beginning and end of the 24 h (consistent with Fig. 3a). Therefore, when studying the daily changes in algal culture pH values, measurements should be conducted strictly at an interval of 24 h. If the measurement is advanced or delayed, the value will be too large or small, resulting in a large deviation.
Optimal pH value for the proliferation of M. aeruginosa The equation (Table 3) for the growth curve ( Fig. 1) fitted by the logistic growth model was differentiated in the first order, and the instantaneous growth rate of M. aeruginosa at different times under different initial pH values was obtained (Fig.  6a). The results (Fig. 6a) suggest that although there are differences within a small range, the overall instantaneous growth rate increases with increasing initial pH value, and the higher the pH value, the shorter the culture time to reach the highest instantaneous growth rate. The curves of the initial pH values of 9.0 and 10.0 basically coincide, indicating that their growth trends were roughly the same. However, the highest instantaneous growth rate at the initial pH value of 9.0 was slightly higher than that at the initial pH value of 10.0, which suggests that the optimal pH value may be between 9.0 and 10.0.
The curve corresponding to the initial pH value and its highest instantaneous growth rate (the peak of Fig. 6a) was fitted by a second-order polynomial (Fig. 6b), and the highest instantaneous growth rate of the curve was 5.67×10 6 cells/(ml· day). At this time, the corresponding initial pH value was 9.55, which was considered the optimal pH value and was consistent with the previously estimated optimal pH range. Combined with Fig. 3b, it is found that the rapid rise in environmental pH to 9.0 can be used as an early warning period for cyanobacteria outbreaks. When pH>8.0, the highest instantaneous growth rate continues to rise to the peak value. Therefore, the growth rate of cyanobacteria can be controlled by adjusting the pH value of the water to below 8.0.

Discussion
Regardless of the initial pH value or the initial inoculation density, the pH values of the algal cultures tended to stabilize around the same value of 10.0 at the end of M. aeruginosa proliferation (Fig. 3a), which was consistent with the results of Cao et al. (2016) and Acuña-Alonso et al. (2020) obtained by simulating the water environment of Dianchi Lake. Cao et al. (2016) found that with the growth of M. aeruginosa, the pH value of the overlying water increased from 7.8 and finally stabilized at approximately 8.9; Acuña-Alonso et al. (2020) found that when Microcystis was the main algae species, the pH values of all culture systems approached 9.0 when the cell density of the algae reached its maximum and remained stable at this value thereafter. Although the pH value of the environment in different studies showed a similar trend of convergence with the growth of algae, there were differences in its final stable value, which may be related to differences in algae species, inoculation density, cultivation time, and culture conditions. The quantity of algae and the strength of their metabolic activities will have an important impact on pH changes in the water environment (Liu et al. 2016). The pH value of the environment in this study showed convergence with the growth of M. aeruginosa (Fig. 3a), which may be due to the buffering capacity of algae in response to the pH value of water. When the environmental pH is not conducive to the growth of algae, its self-adaptability enables it to adjust the pH value of the water to be suitable for its growth through a series of physiological and biochemical reactions (Liu et al. 2017;Wei et al. 2020). However, in this study, M. aeruginosa was unable to exchange substances freely with the outside world in a quite narrow and enclosed environment, and the selfregulation and buffer capacity of the culture environment were relatively weak. The cyanobacteria Synechococcus can increase the pH value of the algae solution from 7.5 to 9.5 through photosynthesis and maintain it at that level (Bundeleva et al. 2014). Therefore, the convergence of environmental pH may also be due to the algal consumption of inorganic carbon via photosynthesis; when the inorganic carbon is reduced to a certain extent and the water reaches the pH and inorganic carbon compensation point, the final pH is constant at a maximum value. At present, most studies investigating the impact of algae on the environmental pH value are carried out under a single initial pH value or a single initial algae density. This study simultaneously studied the effects of algae proliferation on the environmental pH value under multiple initial pH values and different initial inoculation densities (Figs. 3 and 4) and confirmed that regardless of the initial conditions, the pH value of the algal culture tended to be the same at the end of M. aeruginosa proliferation.
When the temperature, salinity, and other conditions remain unchanged, pH changes in the water environment are closely related to the variety and concentration of inorganic carbon (Carstensen and Duarte 2019). During the proliferation of M. aeruginosa, the pH values of the algal cultures fluctuated over a wide range regardless of the initial pH values or the initial inoculation densities (Figs. 3, 4, and 5). Acuña-Alonso et al. (2020) also observed changes in algal pH ranging from 5.72 to 9.02 during the growth of the algae, finding that the increase in pH value was dependent on the increase in cell density. They speculated that under high productivity, the consumption of CO 2 dissolved in water increased and that OH − would be generated when HCO 3 − was absorbed, thus leading to the increase in the pH value. Kozak et al. (2019) found that cyanobacterial cells increased the algal pH value through photosynthesis but that the algae used CO 2 in the atmosphere for carbon capture. In addition, the CO 2 absorption rate increased with increasing pH, especially under high pH conditions, resulting in a decrease in the pH value (Katherine Watson and Drapcho 2016). Therefore, a possible  . 6 a Instantaneous growth rate of M. aeruginosa under different initial pH values; b corresponding curve between the initial pH value and the highest instantaneous growth rate reason for the fluctuation in the algal pH value in this study is that strong photosynthesis by the algae consumed CO 2 and HCO 3 − in the water during the logarithmic growth period, leading to a decrease in H + in the water, thereby increasing the pH value of the water. However, in the stable and decay periods, the photosynthesis of the algae weakened while respiration increased; respiration consumed O 2 and generated a large amount of CO 2 in the culture, which reduced the pH value. The cycling between these two processes resulted in the sharp fluctuations in the algal pH value. Ataeian et al. (2019) observed that the pH value of the algal solution fluctuated in the range of 8.5-9.42 and 10.43-11.46 during the growth of alkaliphilic cyanobacteria; the trend in the pH change was similar to that of bicarbonate and nitrate utilization, and the photosynthesis system was not affected by high pH and low bicarbonate concentration. These findings proved the credibility of the previous speculation that pH fluctuations are associated with photosynthesis and inorganic carbons. However, the mechanism of the short-term fluctuation still needs further study; that is, the pH values of algal cultures always rise and fall irregularly over 24 h. The mechanism of CO 2 concentration plays an important role in the photosynthesis of algae under high pH (Mangan et al. 2016). It is generally believed that CO 2 transfer across the air-water interface is important for supporting cyanobacterial bloom development (Wang et al. 2020). Therefore, the increase in the water pH value is likely to induce cyanobacteria dominance (Huisman et al. 2018). Geada et al. (2017) found that the density of M. aeruginosa was higher when the environmental pH value was 9.2-10.5, Liu et al. (2017) determined that the optimal growth pH range of M. aeruginosa was 7.5 to 10.5, and Chandra and Rajashekhar (2016) found that M. aeruginosa could grow at high alkaline pH (9.0-10.0). These results are consistent with our experimental results; that is, the optimal pH value for the proliferation of M. aeruginosa was 9.55 (Fig. 6), and when the environment was neutral or alkaline, M. aeruginosa grew rapidly (Fig. 1). Nevertheless, after studying the effects of pH on the growth of various cyanobacteria, Chandra and Rajashekhar (2016) found that although cyanobacteria generally prefer a slightly alkaline pH range of 7.5 to 8.0, not all cyanobacteria like alkaline environments. For example, Phormidium chlorinum and Scytonema bohnerii prefer slightly acidic conditions (pH=6.5). Similarly, Oscillatoria fremyii, O. sancta, and Phormidium tenue had the highest growth rate at pH 7.5 (Rai and Rajashekhar 2016 can pass through the cell membrane and the carbonic anhydrase, which acts in the cytoplasm (Mangan et al. 2016). When HCO 3 − cannot be used as an alternative source of inorganic carbon, alkaline environments are not suitable for the algae. The optimum pH value of M. aeruginosa in this study was 9.55 ( Fig. 6), potentially because the available carbon source in water is determined not only by the total inorganic carbon content but also by the pH value of the water. The increase in water pH reduces the content of CO 2 , which is easily absorbed by algae, and HCO 3 − gradually dominates (Katherine Watson and Drapcho 2016). Thus, the photosynthetic efficiency of M. aeruginosa mainly depends on the utilization of HCO 3 − . Therefore, the growth of M. aeruginosa at high pH may be the result of the absorption and utilization of HCO 3 − . This study found that during the growth of M. aeruginosa, the pH value of the algal culture increased rapidly with a slight increase in algal density before reaching the maximum value (Fig. 3b), which was also observed by Liu et al. (2017). Before reaching the highest pH value, the pH value of Synechococcus increased rapidly to approximately 9.6 with a slight increase in biomass (Bundeleva et al. 2014). During the growth of algae colonies dominated by Microcystis sp., it was also observed that the pH value increased rapidly with a slight increase in total growth (Acuña-Alonso et al. 2020). Even in mixed freshwater green algal cultures, the pH value increased rapidly with a slight increase in total suspended growth before reaching the maximum (Katherine Watson and Drapcho 2016). These studies indicate that the phenomenon in which the pH value of an algal culture increases rapidly with a slight increase in algal density or other proliferative indexes before reaching the maximum is universal. With an initial pH>8.0, the highest instantaneous growth rate of M. aeruginosa continued to rise until reaching the highest value at 9.55, while the maximum instantaneous growth rate was suppressed when the initial pH<8 (Fig. 6b). The density of other algae, such as Nannochloropsis salina, increases from an initial pH value of 7.0 until reaching its maximum at an initial pH value of 9.0 (Bartley et al. 2014). Similarly, the growth rate of Chattonella marina starts to increase with an initial pH value of 7.5 to a peak at 8.0 (Liu et al. 2007). Moreover, for the sea ice brine community, mainly Dinoflagellate and Polarella glacialis, growth rates are lowest when the initial pH value is 7.19, and with an increase in the initial pH value, they reach their maximum at 8.37 (McMinn et al. 2014). These studies have demonstrated that the proliferation of specific algae can be inhibited by limiting the initial pH to below a certain value. However, previous studies only briefly described these experimental phenomena without deep consideration of the practical applications; they only proposed a macroscopic view that environmental pH can be used as an indicator to control and monitor cyanobacterial outbreaks, and no specific feasible plan was put forward. In contrast, the current study creatively proposes that if the environmental pH value starts to rise rapidly toward 9.0, this can be used as an early warning period of cyanobacterial outbreaks, and the environmental pH value should be adjusted to 8.0 to delay the outbreak. However, this study was performed in a laboratory environment and in the presence of M. aeruginosa alone. In the real environment, due to the complexity of the environment and the diversity of algae species, the true values should be determined more specifically.

Conclusions
This study found that regardless of the initial pH value or the initial inoculation density, the pH value of the culture system tended to stabilize around the same value of 10.0 at the end of the proliferation of M. aeruginosa. During the proliferation of M. aeruginosa, the daily monitoring results showed that when the initial pH value was lower than 10.0, the pH value of the culture system showed an overall upward trend and ultimately stabilized at approximately 10.0; when the initial pH value was 10.0, it first dropped, then rose, and finally gradually stabilized again at 10.0. The hourly monitoring results showed that the pH value of the culture system fluctuated irregularly within a 24-h period. The increase in M. aeruginosa density in each culture system conformed to logistic growth. By deriving the fitted logistic equation and performing a polynomial fitting analysis of the relationship between the initial pH value and its corresponding highest instantaneous growth rate, it was found that the optimal pH value for M. aeruginosa proliferation was 9.55. The period when the environmental pH value starts to rise rapidly toward 9.0 can be utilized as a warning period for cyanobacterial outbreaks, and the pH value can be adjusted to below 8.0 to delay the outbreak.
This study systematically elucidated the response mechanism underlying the proliferation of cyanobacteria under indoor culture conditions and the pH value of the environment in which they are located. The results have specific implications for exploring the mechanism of cyanobacterial blooms, as well as in the formulation of prevention and control schemes in waters with a relatively high background pH for eutrophication (such as Dian Lake, China).
