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]
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 global Microcystis interactome [PDF]
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

The genetic and ecophysiological diversity of Microcystis [PDF]
Summary Microcystis is a cyanobacterium that forms toxic blooms in freshwater ecosystems around the world. Biological variation among taxa within the genus is apparent through genetic and phenotypic differences between strains and via the spatial and temporal distribution of strains in 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]
Microcystis 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,

Colony formation in the cyanobacterium Microcystis [PDF]
ABSTRACTMorphological evolution from a unicellular to multicellular state provides greater opportunities for organisms to attain larger and more complex living forms. As the most common freshwater cyanobacterial genus, Microcystis is a unicellular microorganism, with high phenotypic plasticity, which forms colonies and blooms in lakes and reservoirs ...
