pH and characterization of DOM in the aquatic environment from EG compared to CV. A pH value; B (quantification by volume) and C (quantification by single cells) represent the content of the dissolved organic matter dissolved (DOM) in EG and CV on day 6, respectively; D, E represent the characterization of DOM via three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (3D-FEEM) spectra (I and II, aromatic proteins, III, fulvic acid-like, IV, soluble microbial by product-like material; V, HA, humic acid) in EG and CV at day 6, respectively; EG represents E. gracilis; CV represents C. vulgaris; black triangle represents the location of the peak; ** represents p < 0.01, *** represents p < 0.001; The values represent mean ± SD, where n = 3
