Aeration is an important measure to prevent cyanobacterial growth in eutrophic lakes and reservoirs. The purpose of this study is to clarify the influence of aeration induced turbulence on growth and competition ofMicrocystisandScenedesmusin the presence of sediments with varying particle sizes.Microcystis aeruginosaandScenedesmus obliquuswere selected as the model organisms. Sediments with varying particle sizes were added into mono and mixed cultures of the organisms. In the absence of sediment, both low, and high-intensity aerations (the turbulent dissipation rates were 1.60×10−6and 1.16×10−5m2/s3, respectively) promoted the growth ofScenedesmus, but the growth ofMicrocystiswas inhibited particularly obvious under the high-intensity aeration conditions. In the presence of sediment,Scenedesmuswas promoted under all aeration conditions, whileMicrocystiswas inhibited. The inhibition rate ofMicrocystisdecreased with the increase of sediment size when treated with low-intensity aeration in the nighttime. The highest inhibition rate ofM. aeruginosa(89.2%) was identified under the condition of low-intensity aeration in the nighttime with small sediment addition. Furthermore, our results indicated that the impacts of sediment-induced light intensity reduction on algal growth were insignificant. In the mixed culture, the growth ofMicrocystiswas inhibited byScenedesmusin all treatments with aeration. Our results provided a theoretical basis for the practice in controlling cyanobacteria by aeration.
