Previous studies have indicated that the bloom-forming cyanobacteria Microcystis spp. overwinters near the sediment surface and does not actively grow below 15°C. However, satellite images and field ...

In freshwater environments such as lakes, ponds and streams, a cyanobacterium known as Microcystis aeruginosa is responsible ...

Cyanobacteria thrive in warm, sunny lakes and ponds that contain excess nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients derived from fertiliser, manure and sewage. When conditions are right, cyanobacteria multiply ...

“Lake Okeechobee, the Caloosahatchee River and many waters in Calusa Waterkeeper’s work area have experienced microcystis blooms of increasing scope and severity,” said Codty Pierce, Calusa ...

The Role of Cell-to-Cell Communication in Microcystis Aeruginosa Blooms.” “I was first interested in the communication of bacteria - how they talk to each other,” said Pei. “ They communicate with a ...

The study revealed that Dolichospermum was the dominant bloom-forming cyanobacteria in Winam Gulf, often accompanied by Microcystis, which produces the liver-damaging toxin microcystin.

Microcystis and a cyanobacteria called Planktothrix ... such as where rivers flow into lakes—can mask the visibility of harmful algal blooms. Harmful algal blooms can often show up as clouds ...

The focus on this working group will be: To investigate the spatial distribution of toxic Microcystis in Lake Erie To evaluate ... nitrogen and phosphorus as predictors for toxic cyanobacterial blooms ...

This internal “nutrient pump” decreased N : P in surface waters and led to a cyanobacterial bloom comprised primarily of diazotrophic Anabaena and Aphanizomenon spp. along with nonheterocystous and ...
