Response of Microcystis to copper stress – Do phenotypes of Microcystis make a difference in stress tolerance?

Environmental Pollution, 2007
To elucidate the role of phenotype in stress-tolerant bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis, two phenotypes of M. aeruginosa - unicellular and colonial strains were selected to investigate how they responded to copper stress. Flow cytometry (FCM) examination indicated that the percents of viable cells in unicellular and colonial Microcystis were 1 ...

Environmental factors related to the dominance of Microcystis wesenbergii and Microcystis aeruginosa in a eutrophic lake

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2016
Field investigations in Lake Taihu (China) were carried out from 1 June 2010 to 15 November 2010 in order to analyze environmental factors related to the succession of Microcystis wesenbergii and M. aeruginosa. M. wesenbergii dominated from the middle of July to the middle of September, and then, M. aeruginosa dominated subsequently. Cell density of M.

Allelopathic effect of Microcystis aeruginosa on Microcystis wesenbergii: microcystin-LR as a potential allelochemical

Hydrobiologia, 2013
Microcystis aeruginosa and Microcystis wesenbergii are two cyanobacteria commonly found in eutrophic shallow lakes. Previous studies reported that microcystin-producing M. aeruginosa could have an increased competitive potential on other algae and aquatic plants, and microcystin-LR (MC-LR) was regarded as an allelochemical.

Fermentation in the unicellular cyanobacterium Microcystis PCC7806

Archives of Microbiology, 1994
The cyanobacterium Microcystis PCC7806 fermented endogenously stored glycogen to ethanol, acetate, CO2, and H2 when incubated anaerobically in the dark. The switch from photoautotrophic to fermentative metabolism did not require de novo protein synthesis, and fermentation started immediately after cells had been transferred to dark anoxic conditions ...

Toxicological Studies on Microcystis

1981
Experiments were carried out to determine whether varying toxicity of natural blooms of Microcystis is due to: a) Microcystis-bacteria interactions b) an environmental effect c) the presence of more than one strain or species of Microcystis. Partial characterization of bacteria associated with unialgal cultures, and natural blooms indicated that no ...

Cytotoxicity of Cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa

Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series B, 1992
SummaryCytotoxic effects of crude extracts and fractions of the purification steps towards Microcystin‐LR (MCYST‐LR) were investigated in vitro. Cytoxicity was evaluated by measure of lactate dehydrogenase liberation of Chang liver cells and by hemolysis. Crude extracts of strain PCC 7806 damaged the cells within a few minutes.

Photoinhibition of photosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa

Planta, 1983
We have examined characteristics of the photoinhibition of photosynthesis which occur in the unicellular cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa, following exposure to photon fluence rates in excess of those required for growth. Photoinhibition occurs following exposure of cells to a photon fluence rate of 1,000 μmol m(-2) s(-1), which is manifested as a
