Allelopathic effects of Ailanthus altissima extracts on Microcystisn aeruginosa growth, physiological changes and microcystins release

摘要

The use of allelochemicals has been proved an environmentally friendly and promising method to control harmful algal blooms. This study was conducted to explore the application potential of Ailanthus altissima (A. altissima) extracts in Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) control for the first time. Four treatments with A. altissima extractions (25 mg L-1, 50 mg L-1, 100 mg L-1, and 200 mg L-1 respectively) and a control group were built to investigate the effects of A. altissima on the growt
