Identification of toxic Cyanobacteria in Lake Baikal

Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2015
Cyanobacteria of the genera Anabaena and Microcystis, containing genes for the synthesis of-microcystins (hepatotoxic cyanotoxins) were found for the first time in the coastal zone of Lake Baikal near-the village of Turka, where a tourism and recreational complex were constructed.

Lake Baikal reprieved

Endeavour, 1991
Abstract Baikal, the deepest lake in the world, contains 20 per cent of the world's reserves of fresh water. Unique in its fauna and flora, for a long time it has been seen by Soviet citizens as a symbol of an area preserved in its natural state. Yet its ecosystem was in fact starting to disintegrate, threatened by industrial pollution.

Preserving Lake Baikal

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2004
Heritage Site. This was hardly a surprising choice; the lake is truly staggering. Its surface area is as large as Belgium and its depths penetrate the mantle of the earth. It contains 20% of the world's non-frozen freshwater and is home to over 1000 endemic species. It is also, as yet, relatively unpolluted.

Antagonistic activity of actinomycetes of Lake Baikal

Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology, 2006
It was demonstrated that actinomycetes of Lake Baikal are strong antagonists of other microorganisms. Representatives of the genera Streptomyces and Micromonospora inhibit the growth of bacteria isolated from the lake, as well as of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms causing various human diseases.

Seichelike Oscillations in Lake Baikal

Известия Российской академии наук. Физика атмосферы и океана, 2014
The variations in the free surface of Lake Baikal at three stations (Bol'shie Koty, Listvyanka, and Baikal'sk) are measured. A modern recording method and an advanced technique of record processing are used. Based on 1 yearlong observation data, the amplitu des of seiche variations and their seasonal changes are analyzed.

An intriguing enigma of Lake Baikal

Biological Rhythm Research, 2007
Abstract The paper presents a solution of the long-lived enigma of Lake Baikal, the so-called “melosira years” phenomenon. Lake Baikal exhibits sharp differences in its spring phytoplankton development of up to hundred times from year to year. Intervals between these bloom outbursts are, as a rule, 3 and 4 years long but they were sometimes doubled ...

The Oxygen Cycle in Lake Baikal

Water Resources, 2001
The oxygen cycle and the balance of free oxygen and oxygen bound in CO2in Lake Baikal are discussed based on new data on the gas exchange between the lake and atmosphere, O2consumption in bottom sediments, and the rate of aerobic decomposition in the abyssal zone of the lake.

The Federal Law on Lake Baikal as a Legislative Basis for Sustainable Development of the Lake Baikal Region

1996
The Law on Lake Baikal should become the basis of the concept and legal foundation of the sustainable development of the Lake Baikal Region. The draft law has been worked out on the principles of the UN Convention on World Heritage Sites. Its framework character implies that direct normative acts be passed at federal and regional levels.

The Lake Baikal neutrino experiment

Physics of Atomic Nuclei, 2003
We review the present status of the Baikal neutrino experiment. The structure and parameters of the neutrino telescope NT-200, which was put into operation in April 1998, are described. Selected methodological results are presented. Physics results cover separating up-going muons from atmospheric neutrinos, searches for neutrino events from WIMP ...
