Toxic Cyanobacterial Bloom Triggers in Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain, as Determined by Next-Generation Sequencing and Quantitative PCR

Life, 2015
Missisquoi Bay (MB) is a temperate eutrophic freshwater lake that frequently experiences toxic Microcystis-dominated cyanobacterial blooms. Non-point sources are responsible for the high concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen in the bay.

Crustacean Zooplankton Ingestion of Potentially Toxic Microcystis: In Situ Estimation Using mcyE Gene Gut Content Detection in a Large Temperate Eutrophic Lake

Toxins
Grazing by zooplankton can regulate bloom-forming cyanobacteria but can also transfer toxin-producing cells, as well as toxic metabolites, to the food web.

Strong inhibitory effects of Desmodesmus sp. on Microcystis blooms: Potential as a biological control agent in aquaculture

Aquaculture Reports
Microcystis blooms in aquaculture present a significant threat to economic interests and human health. The method of ‘algae suppression’ has shown potential in mitigating these blooms, with the inhibitory capabilities of the introduced algal species ...
