Resumen
El género Microcystis (Cyanobacteria) es de gran interés dada su capacidad de formar floraciones en embalses y otros cuerpos de agua. Sus células poseen vesículas de gas que le permiten regular su flotabilidad. Numerosos estudios indican que el ultrasonido, aplicado a ciertas frecuencias y potencias, provoca el colapso de las vesículas de gas, aunque este efecto aún no se ha comprendido completamente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar cuantitativamente el efecto que ejerce esta tecnología en las vesículas de gas y en la abundancia total de Microcystis spp. extraídas del Embalse San Roque, en Córdoba, Argentina. Para ello, se expusieron 20 L de muestra a 124 kHz y 20 W de tratamiento ultrasónico (T), y luego se analizó la abundancia celular y el colapso de las vesículas cuantificando su área y determinando su porcentaje relativo de las células sedimentadas por microscopía electrónica de transmisión. No hubo variaciones en la abundancia, y se produjo un 10 % de sedimentación para T, donde el porcentaje de vesículas de las células tuvo una disminución significativa. Los datos numéricos del colapso de vesículas aportan relevancia a este estudio; sin embargo, dado el bajo porcentaje de sedimentación, es importante seguir investigando los efectos del ultrasonido sobre la pérdida de flotabilidad de Microcystis spp. y su radio de acción.
The genus Microcystis (Cyanobacteria) is of great interest due to its ability to form blooms in reservoirs and other bodies of water. Its cells possess gas vesicles that allow it to regulate its buoyancy. Numerous studies indicate that ultrasound, applied at certain frequencies and powers, causes the collapse of gas vesicles, although this effect has not yet been fully understood. The objective of this work was to quantitatively determine the effect that this technology exerts on gas vesicles and on the total abundance of Microcystis spp. extracted from the San Roque Reservoir, Argentina. To this end, 20 L of sample were exposed to 124 kHz and 20 W of ultrasonic treatment (T), and then cellular abundance and vesicle collapse were analyzed by quantifying their area and determining their relative percentage of the cells that settled using transmission electron microscopy. There were no variations in abundance, and a 10 % sedimentation occurred for T, where the percentage of vesicles in the cells showed a significant decrease. The numerical data on vesicle collapse adds relevance to this study; however, given the low percentage of sedimentation, it is important to continue investigating the effects of ultrasound on the loss of buoyancy in Microcystis spp. and its range of action.
