Molecular Mechanisms of Algicidal Bacteria in Controlling Harmful Algal Blooms: Advances in Bacteria‐Algae Interactions

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...

White rot fungi as a multifaceted biocontrol agent: Metabolic disruption and algal inhibition in Microcystis aeruginosa

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Microcystis aeruginosa is a prevalent cyanobacterium linked to water eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. While bacterial control strategies are well-studied, the effects of white rot fungi on Microcystis aeruginosa are less understood.

Phosphorus Acquisition Strategies Among Phytoplankton and Free‐Living Bacterial Communities in the Baltic Proper

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Phosphorus is a key element for cellular functions and poses significant challenges for planktonic microbial communities under limited availability. Metagenomics highlighted that heterotrophic bacteria predominantly relied on phosphate scavenging while eukaryotic phytoplankton primarily utilized membrane remodelling to cope with limited phosphorus ...

Tracing the active genetic diversity of Microcystis and Microcystis phage through a temporal survey of Taihu.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
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 ...

Phytoplankton Biomass and Growth Limitation During Fifty Years of Reduced Nutrient Loading in Shallow Lake Arresø

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine phytoplankton development and limitation in the 3‐m deep, well‐mixed water column of hypereutrophic, alkaline Lake Arresø during 50 years of improved sewage treatment that has reduced phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) availability and phytoplankton biomass.

Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Biogenic Nanoparticles Produced by Cyanobacteria

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
The article reviews the green synthesis of biogenic nanoparticles produced by cyanobacteria, highlighting their antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. These nanoparticles, formed intra‐ or extracellularly, show activity against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria as well as fungi and can induce apoptosis in tumor cells.

Genetic polymorphism in brazilian microcystis spp. (Cyanobacteria) toxic and non-toxic through RFLP-PCR of the cpcBA-IGS

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009
The escalating occurrence of cyanobacterial toxic blooms demands a better understanding of genetic variability as an auxiliary expedient in species identification, collaborating with the monitoring of water destined to public supply.

Catalytic versatility of lipoxygenase from Microcystis aeruginosa

open access: yesNew Biotechnology
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) catalyze the regio- and enantioselective addition of molecular oxygen to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), yielding fatty acid hydroperoxides (FAHPs) with significant industrial relevance. Bacterial LOXs are of particular interest due to their broad substrate range and distinct regio- and enantioselectivity profiles.
