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

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

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 ...

A research team at Clarkson University recently published a study about a plant based alternative to traditional chemical methods of combating Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs).

HABs caused by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) exhibit enormous threats to human health, animals, and aquatic ecosystems. Microcystis aeruginosa cells—the cyanobacterium that causes HABs ...

This study investigates how fluid flow affects the formation and maintenance of large colonial structures in cyanobacteria. We performed experiments on laboratory cultures and lake samples of the ...
