Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), one of the most abundant blue-green algae in aquatic environments, produces ...

When populations of tiny aquatic organisms called cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green algae) explode, their toxic ...

To try to understand how harmful algal blooms might evolve in Lake Erie in a warming climate, University of Michigan scientists helped conduct a survey of cyanobacteria in a gulf of Kenya's Lake ...

This is the metadata section. Skip to content viewer section. Temperature is generally considered as a key factor controlling algal bloom formation. Previous studies have indicated that the ...

New research from Africa's Lake Victoria has revealed critical clues about toxic algal blooms and their potential impact on Lake Erie and beyond.

According to Clarkson University Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Sitaraman Krishnan, who oversees the ...

When P enrichment was ≥ 0.20 mg P L⁻¹ and N enrichment ≥ 0.80 mg N L⁻¹, growth of the toxin-producing, dominant bloom-forming cyanobacteria Microcystis spp. was not nutrient limited. This study ...

They communicate with a chemical language, and they use this communication to do a lot of things. For example, excessive growth of cyanobacteria, also called blue green algae, in water bodies causes ...

The research identified cyanobacteria such as Dolichospermum, Microcystis and Planktothrix as key contributors to HABs in the Winam Gulf, mirroring those in Lake Erie. This genetic cataloging ...

At most sites where the researchers found Dolichospermum, they also found another cyanobacteria called Microcystis. Microcystis and a cyanobacteria called Planktothrix were more abundant in ...
