Control of Microcystis Buoyancy by Reducing Cellular Carbohydrate Content at High Temperature
This study aimed to control the buoyancy of Microcystis by increasing the growth rate and simultaneously reducing the cellular carbohydrate content under various light and temperature regimes.

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]
Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat

Microcystis blooms are an intractable global environmental problem that pollute water and compromise ecosystem functioning. Closed-lake management practices keep lakes free of sewage and harmful algae invasions and have succeeded in controlling local ...

Development and field assessment of a quantitative PCR for the detection and enumeration of the noxious bloom-former Anabaena planktonica [PDF]
Anabaena planktonica is a harmful, bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterium, which has arrived recently in New Zealand. In the short time since its incursion (

Background Cyanobacteria from the genus Microcystis can form large mucilaginous colonies with attached heterotrophic bacteria—their microbiome. However, the nature of the relationship between Microcystis and its microbiome remains unclear.

Phytoplankton Community and Algal Toxicity at a Recurring Bloom in Sullivan Bay, Kabetogama Lake, Minnesota, USA [PDF]
Kabetogama Lake in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota, USA suffers from recurring late summer algal blooms that often contain toxin-producing cyanobacteria.

Microcystins are cyclic peptides produced by multiple cyanobacterial genera. After accumulation in the liver of animals they inhibit eukaryotic serine/threonine protein phosphatases, causing liver disease or death.

The mosaic structure of the mcyABC operon in Microcystis [PDF]
An extensive study of the mcyABC genes and regions flanking the mcy gene cluster was performed in naturally occurring Microcystis strains. Lack of methylation in strains producing only desmethyl(7)-microcystin was found to be associated with point mutations in substrate-binding sequence motifs of the N-methyltransferase (NMT) domain in McyA.

Coordinated Diel Gene Expression of Cyanobacteria and Their Microbiome
Diel rhythms have been well recognized in cyanobacterial metabolisms. However, whether this programmed activity of cyanobacteria could elicit coordinated diel gene expressions in microorganisms (microbiome) that co-occur with cyanobacteria and how such ...

Recreational exposure during algal bloom in carrasco beach, uruguay: A liver failure case report [PDF]
In January 2015, a 20-month-old child and her family took part in recreational activities at Carrasco and Malvín beaches (Montevideo, Uruguay). An intense harmful algae bloom (HAB) was developing along the coast at that time.
