Evaluation of a Commercial Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the Determination of the Neurotoxin BMAA in Surface Waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Blooms of Cyanobacteria on the Potomac River [PDF]

open access: yesPlant 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.

Nonlinear dynamic numerical analysis and prediction of complex system based on bivariate cycling time stochastic differential equation

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2020
In order to deal with the problem of low precision and ignoring the influence of some factors on the growth system of cyanobacteria, this paper considers the effects of light, water temperature and other influencing factors to analyze cyanobacteria ...

Viruses may facilitate the cyanobacterial blooming during summer bloom succession in Xiangxi Bay of Three Gorges Reservoir, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms in summer are frequently accompanied by the succession of phytoplankton communities in freshwater. However, little is known regarding the roles of viruses in the succession, such as in huge reservoirs.

Dark accelerates dissolved inorganic phosphorus release of high-density cyanobacteria.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Bloom-forming cyanobacteria dramatically influence nutrient cycling in eutrophic freshwater lakes. The phosphorus (P) assimilation and release of bloom-forming cyanobacteria significantly may also affect the phosphorus source and amounts in water.

Metagenomic mapping of cyanobacteria and potential cyanotoxin producing taxa in large rivers of the United States

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Cyanobacteria and cyanotoxin producing cyanobacterial blooms are a trending focus of current research. Many studies focus on bloom events in lentic environments such as lakes or ponds.

River phosphorus cycling constrains lake cyanobacteria blooms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
AbstractBioavailable phosphorus exports from rivers during high flow often fuel downstream harmful cyanobacterial blooms; yet whether river phosphorus cycles affect these exports is unclear. Here, we examined river phosphorus cycling during high flow events in a large agricultural watershed that drives cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie.

Impact of cyanobacterial bloom intensity on plankton ecosystem functioning measured by eukaryotic phytoplankton and zooplankton indicators

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
Cyanobacterial blooms are global threats to freshwater ecosystem functioning, human health, and ecoservices. We assessed impacts of cyanobacterial bloom intensity on plankton ecosystem functioning using eukaryotic phytoplankton and zooplankton indicators

Dynamic Phycobilin Pigment Variations in Diazotrophic and Non-diazotrophic Cyanobacteria Batch Cultures Under Different Initial Nitrogen Concentrations

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Increased anthropogenic nutrient loading has led to eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems, which is the major cause of harmful cyanobacteria blooms. Element stoichiometry of cyanobacteria bloom is subject to nutrient availabilities and may significantly ...
