| Résumé | The effects of temperature, light intensity, and quality on the growth of the cyanobacteria Planktothrix agardhii (Gomont) Anag. et Komarek and P. rubescens (Gomont) Anag. et Komarek were assessed in batch cultures. The relative competitiveness of the green-pigmented P. agardhii and the red-pigmented P. rubescens was evaluated in separate and mixed cultures, under different light intensities and qualities (green, red, and white), and at two different temperatures, chosen as representative of the natural conditions favoring the respective blooms of each species. In monocultures, the P. rubescens strain appeared to be particularly well adapted to low intensities of green light and displayed a strong photoinhibition under high irradiance levels. The P. agardhii strain appeared less specialized with regard to light quality and also less sensitive to photoinhibition at higher irradiances. In competition experiments, temperature (15 degrees C vs. 25 degrees C) was the most important parameter in determining relative fitness of the species and competitive success. At 15 degrees C, P. rubescens appeared to be much more competitive than P. agardhii, while P. agardhii was more competitive at 25 degrees C. Under low irradiance, however, the pigmentation of these strains was of primary importance in determining the outcomes of the competition experiments. On the basis of our experimental results and on field observations, we propose that the successful growth leading to the proliferation of these two differently pigmented strains may largely depend on the combined conditions of light and temperature. The two strains, being genetically close relatives, could therefore be considered as two ecotypes that are adapted to different light and temperature environments. Competition experiments showed that the combination of these parameters largely controls the success of one strain in comparison to the other. |
