Description
Summary:Water blooms have become a worldwide and serious environmental problem. Algicidal bacteria have attracted wide attention as possible agents for inhibiting algal water blooms recently. The aim was to isolation alage-lysin bacterium against Microcystis aeruginosa, so as to provide reference for the control of bloom. In this study, one strain of algae-lysing bacterium H2 was isolated from Chaohu Lake. To identification the H2 strain, its morphological characteristics and 16S rDNA gene sequence were studied. The results showed that the algicidal bacterium H2 is a Gram-negative bacterium. The 16S rDNA nucleotide sequence homology of strain H2 with many strains of Chryseobacterium sp all reached above 95 %. So H2 was identified as Chryseobacterium sp by morphology and homology research based on 16S rDNA.
