Natural Climate Variability Can Influence Cyanobacteria Blooms in Florida Lakes and Reservoirs
EDIS, 2016 During the summer, many of Florida's nutrient-enriched lakes and reservoirs experience proliferations of cyanobacteria commonly called “blooms.” Cyanobacteria are natural in Florida lakes and reservoirs, but when they grow to high levels and bloom, they

Increasing Microcystis cell density enhances microcystin synthesis: a mesocosm study [PDF]
, 2012 An experimental protocol using mesocosms was established to study the effect of Microcystis sp. cell abundance on microcystin production. The mesocosms (55 L) were set up in a shallow eutrophic lake and received either no (control), low (to simulate a ...

Occurrence and toxicity of Microcystis aeruginosa (Cyanobacteria) in the Paraná River, downstream of the Yacyretá dam (Argentina) [PDF]
, 2016 Cyanobacteria constitute the main toxin producers in inland water ecosystems and have extensive global distribution. The presence of hepatotoxins in aquatic environments is hazardous to human and animal health; even though the presence and identification

Critical roles of cyanobacteria as reservoir and source for antibiotic resistance genes
Environment International, 2020 The widespread occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) throughout aquatic environments has raised global concerns for public health, but understanding of the emergence and propagation of ARGs in diverse environmental media remains limited.

The Impact of Cyanobacteria Blooms on the Aquatic Environment and Human Health
Toxins, 2022 Cyanobacteria blooms are a global aquatic environment problem. In recent years, due to global warming and water eutrophication, the surface cyanobacteria accumulate in a certain area to form cyanobacteria blooms driven by wind. Cyanobacteria blooms change the physical and chemical properties of water and cause pollution. Moreover, cyanobacteria release
