Abstract: Over a period of four years, the seasonal periodicity of dominant phytoplankton species in a shallow, eutrophic Danish lake changed markedly. Cyanophytes prevailed during the summer period of all four years. In the first three years, species of Microcystis, Anabaena and Aphanothece dominated, whereas in the fourth year of investigation, these algae were replaced by Gloeotrichia echinulata (J. E. Smith) Richter and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (L.) Ralfs. The most striking environmental differences in the fourth year as compared with the previous three years, were an increase in transparency, from about 0.5 meter in 1989-1991 to more than 2 metres preceding the summer maximum in 1992, and a simultaneous occurrence of low oxygen concentrations. A collapse of the fish population was followed by an increased proportion of large Cladocerans in the zooplankton. Improved light conditions at the bottom and grazing pressure from large Cladocerans favoured growth of the large colony forming blue-green algae, Gloeotrichia echinulata and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. These species germinate from resting spores in the sediment and are able to sustain some growth there before migration to the lake water. The transfer of algal biomass from the bottom sediment to the water phase was accompanied by a marked increase in concentrations of particulate phosphorus and nitrogen in the entire lake.

Abstract: The thermal stratification in Lake Erken was short and relatively unstable in 1989. Changes in the species composition of the phytoplankton between early May and August followed the general succession pattern outlined for other temperate lakes. Fast-growing, r-strategist cryptophytes, dominant in the early phase of succession, could be separated sufficiently by 12 mu m membrane filters from larger K-strategists like Ceratium hirundinella and Gloeotrichia echinulata which dominated in July. Under more turbulent conditions, the biomass of diatoms increased, and these species were also >12 mu m. Growth rates of the phytoplankton and those of the two size groups were sensitive to the species composition, but fitted reasonably to the Droop model. Long turnover times of orthophosphate in the water, the Phosphorus Deficiency Indicator defined here as the ratio of the light-saturated rate of photosynthesis and the conductivity coefficient of phosphate uptake, and relative growth rates generally indicated low P-deficiency. Moderate deficiency was observed in late July, towards the end of the stratification period. Steady-state net P-uptake rates were calculated from the Droop model and compared with instantaneous net P-uptake rates estimated from super(32)P uptake kinetics by the linear force-flow relationship of Falkner et al. The two data sets showed surprisingly similar seasonal trends. Depletion of epilimnetic soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) resulted in enhanced utilization of intracellularly stored P. Such periods were, however, interrupted by elevated SRP inputs to the epilimnion that led to luxury P uptake and a low incidence of P deficiency.

Abstract: The abundance of Gloeotrichia echinulata colonies in the sediments of Lake Erken, Sweden, and their P content were studied to det. the contribution of Gloeotrichia colonies to total sediment P. The potential size of the algal inoculum and the migration to the water during summer were estd. The surplus P content of the resting colonies in the sediment was .apprx.45% of total P, which maximized at 8.5 mg P/mg or 81 ng P/colony. The C:P ratio in the early colonies appearing in the lake water was 50:1, while the ratio stabilized at 150 during the major migration period. The internal supply of surplus P was used during the pelagic growth of the colonies. The internal P loading to the epilimnion of Lake Erken due to Gloeotrichia migration could, from the measurements of the increase in particulate epilimnetic P, be estd. at 40 mg P the sediment before and during the migration verified this value to be a conservative est. of the internal P loading due to Gloeotrichia migration to the epilimnion in the lake. The sediment P content calcd. from the P concn. in early epilimnion colonies resulted in a value of 35 mg P/g as a max. This corresponds to only 3% of the total P content in the lake sediment.

phosphorus seston size Lake Erken
Abstract: The size fractionation of seston in Lake Erken, Sweden, reveal significant differences in the nutritional status and functional behavior of the different size classes. The medium seston seems to have taken up phosphate in May to be stored as surplus P, which was consumed during their growth in June. In early July this process resulted in severe P deficiency for the medium seston as indicated by the high specific phosphatase activity. This development is in agreement with earlier findings concerning the spring-summer growth of phytoplankton in Lake Erken. During this period the large seston have no chance to compete as shown by their deficiency. In late July the inoculation of Gloeotrichia colonies from the sediments and phosphate from the hypolimnion changes the situation completely to favor the large seston, now being rich in P.

Abstract: The abundance of Gloeotrichia echinulata colonies in the sediments of Lake Erken and their phosphorus content were investigated to determine the contribution of Gloeotrichia colonies to total sediment phosphorus. Moreover, the potential size of the algal inoculum and the migration to the water during summer were estimated. The surplus phosphorus content of the resting colonies in the sediment was about 45% of total phosphorus, which maximized at 8.5 mu g P/(mg dw) or 81 mu g P/colony. The C:P ratio (by weight) in the early colonies appearing in the lake water was 50:1, while the ratio stabilized at 150 during the major migration period. The internal supply of surplus phosphorus was used during the pelagic growth of the colonies. The internal phosphorus loading to the epilimnion of Lake Erken due to Gloeotrichia migration could, from the measurements of the increase in particulate epilimnetic phosphorus, be estimated at 40 mg P/m super(2) or 2.5 mg P/m super(2)/d in late July and early August. Determination of the number of colonies in the sediment before and during the migration verified this value to be a conservative estimate of the internal phosphorus loading due to Gloeotrichia) migration to the epilimnion in Lake Erken. The sediment P content calculated from the P concentration in early epilimnion colonies resulted in a value of 35 mu g P/(g dw) as a maximum. This corresponds to only 3% of the total phosphorus content in Lake Erken sediment.

Abstract: Morphometric analysis was carried out on cells of Gloeotrichia sp. obtained directly from a lake and an isolate of Gloeotrichia sp. grown under laboratory conditions. The surface area of the thylakoids was 38.34 mum2 in cells from the environment compared with 23.37 for cells from culture. The amount of intrathylakoidal space was far greater in cells from the environment (28.53% of the cell volume) compared with 0.92% of the cell volume in cultured cells. The volume of the cell occupied by polyphosphate bodies was 2.53% in natural cells versus 0.21% in cultured cells. Polyhedral body cell volume was 0.67% in natural cells compared with 1.60% in cultured cells. Lipid inclusions occupied 3.71% of the cell volume in natural cells and 0.5% in cultured cells. Cyanophycin granules were few (0.03% of cell volume) in natural cells but more frequent (0.92% of cell volume) in cultured cells. The variation in cell volume of the cyanophycean inclusions is discussed in relation to the environmental conditions of the cells.

Abstract: Epilimnetic colonies of Gloeotrichia echinulata were harvested from 200-300 l of water in Lake Erken with filtration through appropriate plankton nets (200 or 70 mum). Phosphate uptake characteristics, phosphorus (P) status and photosynthesis of the colonies were determined twice a week during July and August 1991. Phosphate uptake was analysed according to the simple force-flow relationship of Falkner et al. (Arch. Microbiol., 152, 353-361, 1989). The threshold concentration of P uptake below which uptake ceases for energetic reasons, was constantly much higher than the epilimnetic soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentration, so that the planktonic colonies were unable to acquire any P in the epilimnion. Neither did organic P seem to be a source of P for planktonic colonies. Gloeotrichia echinulata has a unique life strategy in comparison to other common genera of bloom-forming cynanobacteria. Its P assimilation and growth are completely separated both in time and space; growth is preceded by benthic P assimilation. Epilimnetic growth was based solely on internally stored P and growth rates fitted the Droop model well. Depletion of stored P restricts the length of the planktonic phase to 15-20 days under 'optimal' growth conditions. Wind-induced surface drift seemed to be the most important loss factor from the epilimnion. Massive recruitment of P-rich benthic colonies accounted for two-thirds of total net internal P loading observed between mid-July and mid-August (3.8 mg P m-2 day-1).

Prevention and control
Abstract: A laboratory comparison of the effectiveness of two sediment phosphorus (P) inactivation techniques (aluminum sulfate and calcium nitrate) was made using intact sediment cores collected from Green Lake, WA. Additional treatments with Na sub(2)S, NaOH, and glucose were performed to assess effectiveness of the treatments under conditions of 1) reduced availability of Fe, 2) increased pH, and 3) organic matter enrichment, respectively. Under warm, dark, quiescent conditions both aluminum sulfate (alum) and calcium nitrate (nitrate) were equally effective in controlling P release from the sediments when compared to a control. Addition of Na sub(2)S resulted in an increase in P release, but again alum and nitrate were equally effective compared to the control. ADdition of NaOH resulted in an increase of P release, but alum was not as effective as nitrate in controlling P release, possibly due to pH sensitivity of the aluminum hydroxy-P complex. ADdition of glucose resulted in an increase of P release, perhaps due to increased gas evolution, but nitrate was not as effective in controlling P release, possibly due to the availability of nitrate for degradation of organic matter and subsequent release of methane and nitrogen gas. Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) of Green Lake sediments was determined to be much less than that of sewage polluted Lake Lillesjoen, Sweden, and similar to the SOD of Lake Lillesjoen sediments following nitrate treatment. Sediment profiles of Fe, Mn, P, N, S, water content, and organic suggest that anaerobic processes were operational in the sediments. Although a recent study indicates that the overlying water does not experience episodes of reduced oxygen content, and that much of the water column increase in P can be attributed to migrating phytoplankton (primarily Gloeotrichia echinulata), possible links between sediment chemical and microbial processes and P uptake by benthic stages of phytoplankton at the sediment-water interface have not been investigated. More well planned and monitored in-lake treatments or limnocorral experiments of both alum and nitrate are needed to improve our predictions of the effectiveness and longivity of these two chemical treatments.
