Abstract

The effect of bacterium N1 on the colony formation of the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa was investigated. The results showed that N1 could induce colony formation in M. aeruginosa in concentration-dependant way. Colony formation can efficiently decrease the damage caused by bacteria through polysaccharides synthesis to maintain the function of photosynthesis apertures.
