Abstract

Eutrophication is caused by the rapid growth of microalgae. Iron and manganese are important micronutrients for microalgae growth. However, the effect of the limitation of iron and manganese on microalgae growth in fresh water has not been well understood. In this study, natural mixed algae, Anabaena flosaquae and Scenedesmus quadricanda, were cultivated under different quotas of iron and manganese to reveal the effect of the limitation of iron and manganese on the growth of microalgae in fresh water. The results showed that the growth rate of algae is influenced more by iron than by manganese. However, the effect of manganese cannot be overlooked: when the initial manganese quota was replete, i.e. 0.6–0.8 mg l, manganese was able to relieve the effect of iron limitation on microalgae growth in fresh water. We further found that the microalgae showed an uptake preference for iron over manganese. Iron had a competitive effect on manganese uptake, while manganese had less impact on iron uptake by microalgae. The information obtained in the current study is useful for the provision of water quality warnings and for the control of microalgae bloom in fresh water.
