Diversity and Biosynthetic Potential of Culturable Microbes Associated with Toxic Marine Animals
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a neurotoxin that has been reported from taxonomically diverse organisms across 14 different phyla. The biogenic origin of tetrodotoxin is still disputed, however, TTX biosynthesis by host-associated bacteria has been reported.

Cyanobacteria as a Source for Novel Anti-Leukemic Compounds [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are an inspiring source of bioactive secondary metabolites. These bioactive agents are a diverse group of compounds which are varying in their bioactive targets, the mechanisms of action, and chemical structures.

Addressing false negatives and positives in eDNA studies
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized the study of ecology and biodiversity, enabling species detection without direct observation in the environment. However, the implications of detection errors, specifically false positives and false negatives, are poorly reported in eDNA studies, significantly hindering our understanding of the ...

The Effects of Nutrient Additions on Kokanee in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho
ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of whole reservoir nitrogen (N) addition on kokanee growth in Dworshak Reservoir, Idaho. We hypothesized that N addition would improve the growth of kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka) at a given level of abundance by increasing the availability of Daphnia, an important food source.

Virus isolation studies suggest short-term variations in abundance in natural cyanophage populations of the Indian Ocean [PDF]
Cyanophage abundance has been shown to fluctuate over long timescales and with depth, but little is known about how it varies over short timescales. Previous short-term studies have relied on counting total virus numbers and therefore the phages which ...

Exploring the lichenization continuum through the marine tripartite symbiosis of Collemopsidium pelvetiae. [PDF]
Abstract Premise Symbioses between lichen‐forming fungi and brown algae (phaeophytes) are extremely rare. We investigated the interactions between the marine fungus Collemopsidium pelvetiae and its two photosynthetic partners, the brown alga Pelvetia canaliculata and a cyanobacterial symbiont to address questions on symbiosis biology, lichenization ...

Marine toxic cyanobacteria: Diversity, environmental responses and hazards
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms have been a primary concern predominantly in the plankton of freshwater bodies. Recently, however, the toxicity of benthic cyanobacteria is increasingly attracting attention of the scientific community and environmental agencies.

Discovery of bioactive secondary metabolites from benthic filamentous marine cyanobacteria
The main objective of this MSc research was to discover marine natural products from filamentous marine cyanobacteria. These marine cyanobacteria samples were collected from various islands around Singapore such as Pulau Hantu Kechil, Lazarus and St ...
