Abstract:
Cyanolytic bacteria inhabited in freshwaters play a major role in controlling cyanobacterial blooms. Disruption of photosynthesis processes, synthesis, and maintenance of photosynthetic pigments in cyanobacteria leading to death is one of the major strategies utilized by cyanolytic bacteria in controlling cyanobacterial blooms. However, the mechanisms by which cyanolytic bacteria disrupt photosynthesis and its’ efficiency are species-specific. Therefore, the objective of the study was to explore the effect of Pseudomonas fluorescens
BG-E (MZ007859) on the photosynthetic pigments of Pseudanabaena lonchoids (MW288940) during the cyanolytic process as an attempt to understand cyanolytic mechanism.
