摘要
In this study, we investigated the interaction between arsenate (AsV) and phosphate (PO43−) in freshwater phytoplankton using single-cell inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SC-ICP-MS). This study aimed to elucidate the influence of varying PO43− concentrations on arsenic (As) uptake and distribution at the single-cell level, providing insights into intraspecies diversity. Two species of freshwater phytoplanktons, Scenedesmus acutus and Pediastrum duplex, were cultured under different concentrations of PO43− and AsV in a controlled laboratory environment. Scenedesmus acutus, a species with strong salt tolerance, and Pediastrum duplex, known for its weak salt tolerance, were selected based on their contrasting behaviors in previous studies. SC-ICP-MS revealed non-uniform uptake of As by individual phytoplankton cells, with distinct variations in response to PO43− availability. Arsenic uptake by both species declined with a high PO43− level after 7 days of exposure. However, after 14 days, As uptake increased in S. acutus with higher PO43− concentrations, but decreased in P. duplex. Moreover, our findings revealed differences in cell morphology and membrane integrity between the two species in response to AsV and various PO43− concentrations. S. acutus maintained cell integrity under all experimental culture conditions, whereas P. duplex experienced cell lysis at elevated AsV and PO43− concentrations. This study highlights the varying responses of freshwater phytoplankton to changes in AsV and PO43− levels and underscores the advantages of SC-ICP-MS over conventional ICP-MS in providing detailed, cellular level insights. These findings are crucial for understanding and managing As pollution in aquatic ecosystems. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
