We examined microbiome variability in seven macroalgal species over 5 days at an intertidal bench in 'Ewa Beach, O'ahu, Hawai'i. Microbial communities of some red and brown algae fluctuated, whilst green algae remained stable. Temporal patterns varied by species and potentially by differences in intertidal positioning and exposure to environmental ...

Ecological and molecular investigations of cyanotoxin production [PDF]
Cyanobacteria, broadly classified as oxygenic phototrophs containing chlorophyll- a and accessory pigments, are among the oldest life forms on earth. They may be unicellular, colonial or filamentous, with cell sizes varying from less than 2 μm to 40 μm in diameter. They may live as symbionts with plants and fungi, in the benthos or in the water column.

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Taxonomic diversity and toxicological assessment of Cyanobacteria in Moroccan inland waters [PDF]
Research on the ecology, biodiversity and toxicology of cyanobacteria in Moroccan inland waters has been carried out since 1994. The results demonstrate the existence of several taxa of cyanobacteria. Most of them are toxic, bloom‑forming species present

ABSTRACT Planktothrix rubescens is a toxin‐producing filamentous cyanobacterium commonly found in temperate stratified lakes. Planktothrix rubescens regulates its buoyancy through intracellular gas vesicles and typically accumulates in the metalimnion during summer stratification, forming substantial biomass within a thin layer.

Algal Blooms in Lakes Increase After Wildfire Smoke Events in the Contiguous United States
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
