Toxic Cyanobacteria Induce Coupled Changes in Gut Microbiota and Co-Metabolite of Freshwater Gastropods
Environmental pollution(2023)
摘要
Frequent outbreaks of harmful cyanobacterial blooms and the microcystins (MCs) they produce seriously affect the survival of aquatic organisms. Interactions between gut microbiota and hosts often play crucial roles in driving the adaptation of aquatic organisms to environmental changes. In this study, we investigated the phenotypic indicators of the freshwater gastropod Bellamya aeruginosa, after uptake of Microcystis aeruginosa and explored its gut microbial composition and gut metabolites in response to toxic cyanobacterial stress. Results showed that the MCs concentration in the hepatopancreas of snails fed with toxic cyanobacteria decreased from 2.64 +/- 0.14 mu g center dot g(-1) on day 7 to 1.16 +/- 0.10 mu g center dot g(-1) on day 14. The compositions of the intestinal microbiota of snails fed with different algae significantly differed, and the relative abundance of gut microbes such as Lactobacillus and Sphingobium significantly increased after feeding toxic cyanobacteria. Significant differences also existed in intestinal metabolites, the relative abundance of the following metabolites significantly increased: L-proline, 5,6-DHET, stachyose, raffinose, and 3-isopropylmalate. Sankey network diagrams showing links between gut microbes and gut metabolites. The association of Lactobacillus and Sphingobium with amino acids may be related to host tolerance to toxicity, and the linkages of gut microbes with metabolites such as levan, imidazolepropionic acid, and eicosanoids may be associated with involvement in host immune responses. The association of microbes with stachyose and raffinose can help the host to regulate energy homeostasis. These results reveal the underlying mechanisms of gut microbes in the snail adaptation to toxic cyanobacterial stress. This study could be great important for gaining new insights into toxic cyanobacteria-induced changes in snail gut microbes and metabolites and their roles in snail adaptation to toxic cyanobacterial stress, and may provide important insights into the use of freshwater gastropods for the prevention and control of cyanobacterial blooms.
