Cyanobacterial blooms are increasingly threatening the aquatic ecosystem functioning as a result of the global warming and eutrophication. The “top-down” control of cyanobacteria from consumers like the protozoans shows great potential because of the effectiveness and environment-friendliness. To reveal how the nutrition availability and elevated temperature affect the cyanobacteria removal through protozoans grazing, we grew the toxicMicrocystisaeruginosaand the mixotrophicOchromonas gloeoparain monocultures and cocultures at environmentally relevant nitrogen levels (0.5–8.0 mg L−1) under 25 °C and 30 °C, respectively. The growth ofM. aeruginosain monocultures was significantly enhanced as nitrogen concentration and temperature rose, partially benefitting from the promoted photosynthesis. By contrast, nitrogen availability affected neither the photoautotrophic growth nor the feeding onMicrocystisof the mixotrophicO. gloeopara, but high temperature induced the mixotroph to be more heterotrophic as evidenced by the suppressed photosynthesis but strengthened feeding activity. Accordingly, theM. aeruginosaremoval throughO. gloeoparagrazing in cocultures was delayed with increasing nitrogen, which, however, was sharply accelerated by elevated temperature. Based on the Gaussian models fitting, the theoretical time that theMicrocystiswas removed at 25 °C was prolonged from about 7.5 days to 10 days with increased nitrogen, but it was reduced to less than 4.6 days in all groups at 30 °C. While the intensity ofMicrocystis blooms is strongly positively correlated to the nutrition availability and temperature, the present study provided references for the practical application ofMicrocystisremoval through grazing outdoors.
