Toxin producing freshwater cyanobacteria of Sri Lanka
Ceylon Journal of Science, 2017 Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic, prokaryotic microorganisms commonly found among the phytoplankton of stagnant waters. Some of them produce toxins and these have been implicated to contribute to environmental health problems including kidney disease of uncertain etiology.

Effects of Nutrient Limitation on the Synthesis of N-Rich Phytoplankton Toxins: A Meta-Analysis
Toxins, 2020 Eutrophication has played a major role in the worldwide increase of harmful algal blooms (HABs). Higher input of key nutrients, such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), can stimulate the growth of harmful algal species in freshwater, estuarine, and ...

Algal Blooms in Lakes Increase After Wildfire Smoke Events in the Contiguous United States
Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.Temporary pulses of surface chlorophyll‐a are identified following wildfire smoke events in lakes and reservoirs across the United States. ABSTRACT Area burned by wildfire has increased in the contiguous United States and in many places globally in recent years, impacting communities and ecosystems nearby and even far downwind of fires. We examined the

Effects of sedimentation and periphyton communities on embryonic rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax [PDF]
, 2009 The decline of anadromous rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) populations has been suspected to be linked to anthropogenic causes. Increased runoff from agriculture and urbanization has led to additional sediment inputs and eutrophying compounds in rivers ...

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]
, 2014 Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat
