摘要：Optical microscope, environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and transmission electronmicroscope (TEM) were applied to study the effect of different intensity ultrasound on Microcystis cellmorphology. The results showed that after the action of low intensity ultrasound (below the cavitation threshold)on Microcystis cell, extracellular surface became slightly rough, and gelatinous sheath became uneven.Fragmented debris appeared among cells and intracellular thylakoids and bubbles were damaged. Lowintensity ultrasonication make photosynthetic capacity and buoyancy control ability of the cell suppressed ordisappeared, leading to the inhibition of growth. The main mechanism of low intensity ultrasound on Microcystiscell was mechanical action. After ultrasonication of high intensity, extracellular surface was paler and rough.Gelatinous sheath became more uneven, and there were many fragmented debris. Cell interior was black.All of thylakoids and bubbles were broken, dissolved and disappeared. Cells present as partial block orhomogenized structure. Some algal cells appeared pyknotic, but most cell were dead. The main mechanismof high intensity ultrasound was cavitation effect, accompanied by mechanical action at the same time.
