摘要	Groundwork on cyanobacterial external layers is crucial for an improved understanding of the persistent dominance of cyanobacteria in freshwaters. In this study, the role of two morphotypes of external layers inMicrocystisandNostocin mass transfer and instantaneous temperature shock were explored by noninvasive microtest technology (NMT) after a series of pretreatments, to obtain the external layers retained or stripped samples. The results showed no statistical influence on photosynthetic activity between retained and stripped samples in bothMicrocystisandNostoc. External-layer-retaining strains had higher net O(2)effluxes than stripped strains. Moreover, the net NH(4)(+)influx was significantly higher for the sheath retainingNostocthan for the stripped sample, indicating that external layers might be an important feature driving mass transfer in cyanobacteria. However, the role of slime in NH(4)(+)absorption was limited compared with that of sheath. In addition, external-layer-retaining strains exhibited a longer response time to instantaneous temperature shock, greater net O(2)effluxes at a 4 degrees C shock and lower net O(2)influx at a 35 degrees C shock, which were interpreted as reflecting a tolerance to temperature fluctuation over short time scales via a buffer function of external layers to stabilize cell activity, ameliorating the efficiency of photosynthesis and respiration. These results advance current knowledge regarding the external layers, especially the dense sheath, involved in the mass transfer in cyanobacteria, and provide new clues concerning the adaptive strategies of cyanobacteria under global climate changes.
