Cyanobacterial blooms caused by eutrophication in Lake Taihu have led to ecological threats to freshwater ecosystems. A pilot scale experiment was implemented to investigate the relationship between cyanobacteria and other aquatic plants and animals in simulated eutrophic ecosystems under different phosphorus (P) regimes. The results of this study showed that cyanobacteria had two characteristics favorable for bloom formation in eutrophic ecosystems. One is the nutrient absorption. The presence of alkaline phosphatase was beneficial for algal cells in nutrition absorption under low P concentration. Cyanobacteria exhibited a stronger ability to absorb and store P compared to Vallisneria natans, which contributed to the fast growth of algal cells between 0.2 and 0.5 mg·L−1 of P (p < 0.05). However, P loads affected only the maximum biomass, but not the growth phases. The growth cycle of cyanobacteria remained unchanged and was not related to P concentration. P cycling indicated that 43.05–69.90% of the total P existed in the form of sediment, and P content of cyanobacteria showed the highest increase among the organisms. The other is the release of microcystin. Toxic microcystin-LR was released into the water, causing indirectly the growth inhibition of Carassius auratus and Bellamya quadrata and the reduction of microbial diversity. These findings are of importance in exploring the mechanism of cyanobacterial bloom formation and the nutrient management of eutrophic lakes.
