Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to elucidate the accumulation mechanism of Microcystis colonies leading to the blooms in large lakes such as Lake Taihu and Lake Biwa. Cultured Microcystis increased the production of extracellular polysaccarides and tended to form colonies when the growth rate was low. Microcystis colonies in Lake Taihu became the largest in autumn, and in consequence, their faster emergent speed enhanced their own accumulation around the water surface. The optimum wind speed for the accumulation of Microcystis colonies exists because weak winds make only slow horizontal transportation of the colonies, whereas big winds brake the accumulation of the colonies to the surface by vertical mixing. It was 1.5-2.6 m/s in Zhushan Bay of Lake Taihu.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

アオコの発生は今も世界的な課題であり、特に太湖や琵琶湖のような、多くの人々の水道水源になっている大湖沼での発生は社会的な悪影響が大きい。その発生機構についてはこれまで生物学的側面からよく調べられてきたが、物理学的側面からの研究は少なかった。本研究では太湖で、秋期の群体の大型化と適度な風がアオコの集積を招くことを明らかにした。このことは、Microcystis 群体が大型化する前の春季に発生の出鼻を挫くことの有効性を示唆しており、今後のアオコ対策を考える上で重要な知見を提供したと考える。
