David Schindler and his colleagues pioneered studies in the 1970s on the role of phosphorus in stimulating cyanobacterial blooms in North American lakes. Our understanding of the nuances of phosphorus utilization by cyanobacteria has evolved since that time. We review the phosphorus utilization strategies used by cyanobacteria, such as use of organic forms, alternation between passive and active uptake, and luxury storage. While many aspects of physiological responses to phosphorus of cyanobacteria have been measured, our understanding of the critical processes that drive species diversity, adaptation and competition remains limited. We identify persistent critical knowledge gaps, particularly on the adaptation of cyanobacteria to low nutrient concentrations. We propose that traditional discipline-specific studies be adapted and expanded to encompass innovative new methodologies and take advantage of interdisciplinary opportunities among physiologists, molecular biologists, and modellers, to advance our understanding and prediction of toxic cyanobacteria, and ultimately to mitigate the occurrence of blooms.
戴维·辛德勒（David Schindler）及其同事在 20 世纪 70 年代率先开展了关于磷在刺激北美的湖泊中蓝藻水华方面作用的研究。自那时以来，我们对蓝藻利用磷的细微差别有了更多的了解。我们回顾了蓝藻所使用的磷利用策略，例如利用有机形式、被动和主动摄取之间的交替以及奢侈储存。尽管已经测量了蓝藻对磷的生理反应的许多方面，但我们对推动物种多样性、适应和竞争的关键过程的理解仍然有限。我们确定了持续存在的关键知识差距，特别是在蓝藻对低营养浓度的适应方面。我们建议对传统的、特定学科的研究进行调整和扩展，以纳入创新的新方法，并利用生理学家、分子生物学家和建模师之间的跨学科机会，增进我们对有毒蓝藻的理解和预测，最终减少水华的发生。
