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

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 ...

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).

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 ...
