It is well recognized that gas vesicles influence the buoyancy ofMicrocystisand control the migration in the water column. Some ofMicrocystisstrains do not have gas vesicles, so these strains cannot obtain buoyancy from them. In this study, we used two types ofMicrocystisstrains such as the non-gas vesicle synthesizing strainM. aeruginosaUTEX-2061 and the gas vesicle synthesizing strainM. aeruginosaNIES-843 in the buoyancy control experiments ofM. aeruginosa. By inducing colony formation and calculating the relative buoyancy rate of each strain, it was proven that the colony formation was strictly related to the buoyancy of bothMicrocystisstrains.M. aeruginosaNIES-843 possessing gas vesicles could obtain buoyancy under the lower concentration of calcium and magnesium thanM. aeruginosaUTEX-2061 possessing no gas vesicles. With the addition of the extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) extracted fromMicrocystisblooms into the culture medium,M. aeruginosaNIES-843 and UTEX-2061 could present higher buoyancy at the lowest concentrations of calcium and magnesium. It was suggested that EPS combined with the divalent metal cations such as calcium and magnesium madeMicrocystisform colony effectively. Calcium and magnesium ions enhanced the ability of colony formation ofMicrocystisand had a significant influence on buoyancy.
