Depth-Dependent Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Overwintering Pelagic Microcystis in a Temperate Water Body [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Cyanobacteria in the genus Microcystis are dominant components of many harmful algal blooms worldwide. Their pelagic–benthic life cycle helps them survive periods of adverse conditions and contributes greatly to their ecological success.

Tracking putative Microcystis viruses and virus-host associations across distinct phases of a Microcystis-dominated bloom [PDF]
mSystemsViruses significantly impact microbial community composition and function. Yet their role in the fate of freshwater cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs), an increasing threat to freshwater systems, remains poorly understood.

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 Effectiveness of Scirpus grossus and Limnocharis flava as Fitoremediation Agents of Nitrate-Phosphate to Prevent Microcystis Blooming in Fresh Water Ecosystem [PDF]
Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2013 The aim of this study was to reduce the concentration of dissolved nitrate-phosphate, because it can prevent the occurrence and inhibit the growth of Microcystis bloom waters. The study was conducted experimentally in the laboratory.
