Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]
, 2014 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

Toxic concentrations of metronidazole to Microcystis protocystis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2014 Antimicrobials are among the most commonly used drugs and have become a class of contaminants with great environmental importance. Metronidazole is an antimicrobial used for the therapeutic management of several human diseases. The toxicity of antimicrobials on aquatic species may affect sensitive microorganisms and reduce metabolic processes ...

Genome sequences of lower Great Lakes Microcystis sp. reveal strain-specific genes that are present and expressed in western Lake Erie blooms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Blooms of the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis are increasing worldwide. In the Laurentian Great Lakes they pose major socioeconomic, ecological, and human health threats, particularly in western Lake Erie.

Occurrence and toxicity of Microcystis aeruginosa (Cyanobacteria) in the Paraná River, downstream of the Yacyretá dam (Argentina) [PDF]
, 2016 Cyanobacteria constitute the main toxin producers in inland water ecosystems and have extensive global distribution. The presence of hepatotoxins in aquatic environments is hazardous to human and animal health; even though the presence and identification

Individual Microcystis colonies harbour distinct bacterial communities that differ by Microcystis oligotype and with time [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2021 SummaryInteractions between bacteria and phytoplankton in the phycosphere have impacts at the scale of whole ecosystems, including the development of harmful algal blooms. The cyanobacterium Microcystis causes toxic blooms that threaten freshwater ecosystems and human health globally.

Recreational exposure during algal bloom in carrasco beach, uruguay: A liver failure case report [PDF]
, 2017 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.

Lipopolysaccharides of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983 Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of two isolates of Microcystis aeruginosa were extracted with phenol/water and purified. Cesium chloride gradient ultracentrifugation of these preparations yielded only one fraction. The LPS contained significant amounts of 3‐deoxy‐d‐manno‐octulosonic acid, glucose, 3‐deoxy sugars, glucosamine, fatty acids, fatty acid esters ...
