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 ...

Lakes, natural and man-made, provide water, food and habitats for wildlife, as well as supporting local economies. Around the world, though, there's a growing threat to lakes: toxic bacteria which ...

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

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 ...

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 shallow ...
