Pestizide im Wasser

Pestizid ist eine Sammelbezeichnung biologisch aktive Wirkstoffe, mit denen unerwünschte Organismen bekämpft werden. In der Landwirtschaft, auch im Gartenbau, werden sie gegen Unkraut (Herbizide), Pilze (Fungizide) und Insekten (Insektizide) eingesetzt. In Haushalten oder zum Beispiel in Baumaterialien, Farben oder Putzen spricht man eher von Bioziden. Viele Wirkstoffe gelangen irgendwann auch ins Wasser. Sie können Trinkwasserressourcen gefährden oder Gewässerorganismen schädigen.

' (98 chars) description => protected'Crop protection from algal grazers is a key area of concern, as grazing zoop
         lankton and flagellates can decimate microalgae crops and impede economic vi
         ability of cultivation for biofuels and bioproducts. Inhibition of grazing b
         y chemical and physical interference is one promising solution; however, the
         re have been few empirical tests of this approach that use defense traits in
         nate to algal crop species. <em>Botryococcus braunii</em> is of particular i
         nterest because a) it excretes high levels of hydrocarbons and exopolysaccha
         rides and b) forms colonies and possesses chemical defenses. Here we conduct
          a controlled laboratory experiment to test whether <em>B. braunii</em> can
         mitigate losses to grazing by two distinct grazers, <em>Daphnia magna</em> a
         nd <em>Poterioochromonas malhamensis</em>, due to both chemical inhibition a
         nd physical interference linked to large/inedible colonies. We show that che
         mical and physical defenses interactively reduce the total effect of grazing
         , thus significantly increasing the biomass and growth rates of cultures of
         <em>B. braunii</em> and <em>Nannochloropsis limnetica</em> when either graze
         r is present. We also find that <em>B. braunii</em> medium enhances the grow
         th of <em>N. limnetica</em>. Our study demonstrates how community engineerin
         g can identify synergies arising from algal co-cultivation (e.g., by using i
         ndustrially relevant strains for crop protection). While our lab study serve
         s as a proof-of-concept, future research should test this strategy at pilot
         scale; if successful, such ecological discoveries may help to reduce the cos
         ts of large-scale deployment of algal cultivation for sustainable foods, fue
         ls, bioproducts (e.g., bioplastics), and carbon capture.
