Abstract

Allelopathic effects are one of the factors potentially influencing the succession of phytoplankton communities; however, their influence has often been neglected. This is especially true for cyanobacteria that often outcompete other phytoplankton species and form blooms causing severe problems. Allelopathic effects of cyanobacteria can play an important role for phytoplankton succession. In this chapter, we introduce the different ways how aquatic organisms are influenced by cyanobacterial allelochemicals; the mechanisms of their interaction from the aspects of chemical intermediates, target reaction, and target signals; and interfering factors and the ecological consequences of this process.

Cyanobacteria produce and excrete a variety of allelopathic compounds that affect other Cyanophyta, eukaryotic algae, bacteria, zooplankton, higher plants, and fish and mammalian cells. These effects are regulated by various abiotic and biotic conditions, such as nutrient availability, temperature, and light intensity but also cell density and growth phase of the source cyanobacterial community. The bioactive metabolites include cyclic peptides, alkaloids, terpenoids, and others which can have a variety of inhibitory effects on the different target organisms. Ecological consequences such as declines in biodiversity and accumulation of toxins in the food chain have been shown. However, most of these compounds have not yet been fully tested regarding their full range of effects on natural phytoplankton communities. A detailed elucidation of the influence of cyanobacterial allelochemicals is of key importance for understanding and managing the succession of natural phytoplankton communities.
