To describe the coagulation mechanisms, coagulation system constituents (peptides/proteins, kaolin and coagulant) were characterized in terms of their surface charges. The removal mechanisms of peptides/proteins and kaolin were evaluated by the comparison of the coagulation tests performed with and without coagulant (ferric or aluminum sulfate). We confirmed the peptide/protein inhibiting effect on coagulation through the formation of dissolved complexes with coagulants at a pH value of about 6 for Fe and a pH value of about 6.8 for Al. On the other hand, we demonstrated that cyanobacterial peptides/proteins also have positive effects as they induce the coagulation of hydrophobic kaolin particles within the pH range 4–6 for Fe and 5–6.5 for Al. Interestingly, when peptides/proteins bear a sufficiently low amount of negative charge (pH < 4.5), they can coagulate with kaolin by means of electrostatic interactions even in the absence of a coagulant. The study showed that peptides/proteins produced by M. aeruginosa can serve as coagulation aids and contribute to the turbidity removal at pH values below neutral (pH < 6 for Fe and pH < 6.5 for Al).
