Retracing cyanobacteria blooms in the Baltic Sea
Scientific Reports, 2022 In late summer, massive blooms and surface scums of cyanobacteria emerge regularly in the Baltic Sea. The bacteria can produce toxins and add bioavailable nitrogen fixed from atmospheric nitrogen to an already over-fertilized system.

Cyanobacteria bloom: selective filter for zooplankton? [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2015 The Ibirité reservoir is an urban and eutrophic environment, with regular occurrences of cyanobacteria blooms. The reservoir is warm monomict and remains stratified most of the year, circulating in the dry season (winter).

Unusual massive phytoplankton bloom in the oligotrophic Lake Tanganyika [PDF]
Plant Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background and aims – Massive algae growth resulting in a phytoplankton bloom is a very rare event in the meromictic and oligotrophic Lake Tanganyika. Such a bloom was observed in the north of the lake in September 2018. Phytoplankton species composition

Nitrogen fixed by cyanobacteria is utilized by deposit-feeders. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Benthic communities below the photic zone depend for food on allochthonous organic matter derived from seasonal phytoplankton blooms. In the Baltic Sea, the spring diatom bloom is considered the most important input of organic matter, whereas the ...

Cyanobacteria blooms produce teratogenic retinoic acids [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Deformed amphibians have been observed in eutrophic habitats, and some clues point to the retinoic acids (RAs) or RA mimics. However, RAs are generally thought of as vertebrate-specific hormones, and there was no evidence that RAs exist in cyanobacteria or algae blooms.

Evaluation of a Commercial Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the Determination of the Neurotoxin BMAA in Surface Waters [PDF]
, 2013 The neurotoxin ß-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is suspected to play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Because BMAA seems to be produced by cyanobacteria, surface waters are screened for BMAA.

The Changes in Cyanobacterial Concentration of β-Methylamino-L-Alanine during a Bloom Event
Molecules, 2022 β-N-methylamino L-alanine (BMAA) is a neurotoxin linked to high incidences of neurodegenerative disease. The toxin, along with two of its common isomers, 2,4-diaminobuytric acid (2,4-DAB) and N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine (AEG), is produced by multiple genera ...
