Fragmentation and aggregation of cyanobacterial colonies [PDF]
eLifeFluid flow has a major effect on the aggregation and fragmentation of bacterial colonies. Yet, a generic framework to understand and predict how hydrodynamics affects colony size remains elusive.

PLoS ONE, 2020 Harmful algal blooms are commonly thought to be dominated by a single genus, but they are not homogenous communities. Current approaches, both molecular and culture-based, often overlook fine-scale variations in community composition that can influence ...

Effects of the cultivable bacteria attached to Microcystis colonies on the colony size and growth of Microcystis [PDF]
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2019 The interactions between bacteria and algae may play a significant part in the formation and development of algal blooms. The bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis occurs mainly as colonial form in natural waters, and thus it is necessary to study the

The Complete Genomes of <i>Microcystis ichthyoblabe</i> Kützing and <i>Microcystis protocystis</i> (Crow) Komárek & Anagnostidis Reveal the Complexity and Plasticity of <i>Microcystis</i> Genomes. [PDF]
MicroorganismsMicrocystis is a genus of cyanobacteria responsible for harmful algal blooms (HABs) in freshwater ecosystems, posing significant ecological and public health risks. Despite its importance, current genomic resources are heavily biased toward Microcystis aeruginosa, limiting comprehensive understanding of genomic diversity within the genus. In this study,

The global Microcystis interactome [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2019 AbstractBacteria play key roles in the function and diversity of aquatic systems, but aside from study of specific bloom systems, little is known about the diversity or biogeography of bacteria associated with harmful cyanobacterial blooms (cyanoHABs). CyanoHAB species are known to shape bacterial community composition and to rely on functions provided
