Toxic Cyanobacteria

This paper introduces a practical guide developed for use by the water industry for the management of toxic cyanobacteria. The guide entitled ‘Management Strategies for Cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae) and their Toxins: A Guide for Water Utilities’ (Ho et al., 2009) is a comprehensive guide/manual, which summarises current knowledge on the management of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) and their toxins. The manual covers management strategies for source waters and all stages of the water treatment process. This guide is a consolidated collection of both practical experience and research knowledge developed over the last 20 years within the Australian and international water industry.

Lower Palaeozoic

In the course of a geological reconnaissance of Andros Island, in the Bahamas, it was found that the lower forms of plant life, especially the Blue-green Algæ, play an important part in the process of sedimentation. In addition to those forms which actively contribute calcium carbonate to the sediment, there are other species which function primarily as sediment binders, without necessarily precipitating any lime themselves. Such sediment-binding algæ usually impart characteristic structures to the medium in which they grow; and in the interior of Andros, where such deposits are now accumulating over large areas, structures are being produced which are reminiscent of those found in some of the great limestone formations of the Lower Palaeozoic and Upper Precambrian. In view of this, and of the supposed algal origin of certain of these limestone structures, it is felt that a detailed description of the Bahaman sedi- merits will provide an example of a modem Cyanophyceous deposit, which, may prove useful for comparison with older limestones of similar structure.

Cellular Components

Electron microscopic observations of freeze-fracture replicas of Anabaena cells obtained by the procedures described by Bullivant and Ames (J. Cell Biol., 1966) indicate that the frozen cells are fractured in many different planes. This fracturing or cleaving along various planes allows one to gain a three dimensional relation of the cellular components as a result of such a manipulation. When replicas that are obtained by the freeze-fracture method are observed in the electron microscope, cross fractures of the cell wall and membranes that comprise the photosynthetic lamellae are apparent as demonstrated in Figures 1 & 2.A large portion of the Anabaena cell is composed of undulating layers of cytoplasm that are bounded by unit membranes that comprise the photosynthetic membranes. The adjoining layers of cytoplasm are closely apposed to each other to form the photosynthetic lamellae. Occassionally the adjacent layers of cytoplasm are separated by an interspace that may vary in widths of up to several 100 mu to form intralamellar vesicles.
