We investigated the proteomic and physiological responses of the bloom-forming cyanobacterium,Microcystis aeruginosa, to nitrogen (N) starvation, phosphorus (P) starvation, and the simultaneous starvation of N and P. Our results suggested thatM. aeruginosacould maintain nearly normal growth under P starvation for at least 7 days, whereas N deficiency significantly decreasedM. aeruginosagrowth. Orange carotenoid-binding proteins, metallothionein, and several conserved exported hypothetical proteins were found differentially regulated with a similar manner responding to N starvation and P starvation, indicating general stress response roles for these proteins. Upon N starvation, the expression of several proteins involved in cellular carbon metabolism and carbon fixation was enhanced, which may enable their effective reuse of cellular substrates and accumulate glycogen for long-term survival. Upon P starvation, several proteins relating to protein synthesis and the assimilation of carbon and N were downregulated, suggesting a general reduction in the cell’s metabolic rate, which could save energy and reducing power to maintain the basal growth. ThoughM. aeruginosagrowth was significantly reduced when both N and P were unavailable, very limited significant changes in the proteomic composition were identified.
