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.

First Application of IFCB High-Frequency Imaging-in-Flow Cytometry to Investigate Bloom-Forming Filamentous Cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Cyanobacteria are an important part of phytoplankton communities, however, they are also known for forming massive blooms with potentially deleterious effects on recreational use, human and animal health, and ecosystem functioning.

Metagenomic analysis of a freshwater toxic cyanobacteria bloom [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2008 High molecular weight (HMW) DNA prepared from a toxic freshwater cyanobacterial bloom sample was used to construct a PCR-generated 75-clone, 16S rRNA gene library and a 2850-clone bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene library demonstrated that members of eight phyla of domain Bacteria, which included ...

A Surface Bloom Sampler (SUBS) for cyanobacteria and algae
Journal of Limnology, 2011 In surface blooms, cell density is not evenly distributed with depth but shows a vertical abundance gradient, dependent on the hydrodynamics of water body and on cell buoyancy. To sample reproducibly and quantitatively cyanobacteria and algae blooms a simple Surface Bloom Sampler (SUBS) was designed.

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).

The role of heterocytes in the physiology and ecology of bloom-forming harmful cyanobacteria [PDF]
Harmful Algae, 2016 Dolichospermum flos-aquae and Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii are two cyanobacteria species which cause harmful blooms around the world. Both these species share the capacity to fix atmospheric nitrogen in heterocytes (cell where fixation occurs).

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

Blooms of Cyanobacteria on the Potomac River [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1986 Blooms of cyanobacteria have appeared on the Potomac River near Washington, DC in years of drought and low river volume. The location of the bloom may be related to tidal activity. In 1983, the bloom of Microcystis aeruginosa used ammonia as its nitrogen source and contained low levels of toxic peptides.
