The effect of phosphorus binding clay (Phoslock®) in mitigating cyanobacterial nuisance: a laboratory study on the effects on water quality variables and plankton [PDF]
This laboratory study examined the lanthanum modified clay Phoslock® for its effectiveness to bind soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), release of nutrients from this modified clay, its influence on water quality variables (pH, oxygen saturation ...

The genetic and ecophysiological diversity of Microcystis.
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 ...

Adsorption of Heavy Metal Ions Copper, Cadmium and Nickel by Microcystis aeruginosa
In this study, the average removal rate of cadmium, copper and nickel ions was used as the response value. The initial concentration of heavy metal, culture temperature and initial pH were used as the influencing factors.

The Effectiveness of Scirpus grossus and Limnocharis flava as Fitoremediation Agents of Nitrate-Phosphate to Prevent Microcystis Blooming in Fresh Water Ecosystem [PDF]
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.

Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (CyanoHABs) commonly increase water column pH to alkaline levels ≥9.2, and to as high as 11. This elevated pH has been suggested to confer a competitive advantage to cyanobacteria such as Microcystis aeruginosa.

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,

Increasing Microcystis cell density enhances microcystin synthesis: a mesocosm study [PDF]
An experimental protocol using mesocosms was established to study the effect of Microcystis sp. cell abundance on microcystin production. The mesocosms (55 L) were set up in a shallow eutrophic lake and received either no (control), low (to simulate a ...
