Phytoplankton Under Pressure: Temperature, Precipitation and Cyanobacterial Blooms as Drivers of Chytrid Infections. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepChytrid parasites of phytoplankton infect a wide range of species, including green algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria. Infection patterns varied, indicating that chytrid occurrence is highly dynamic in space and time. Warmer temperatures, increased rainfall and cyanobacterial bloom events coincided with enhanced infection prevalence on green algae ...

Increasing Microcystis cell density enhances microcystin synthesis: a mesocosm study [PDF]
, 2012 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 ...

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
