Human and ecological health depends on the vitality of freshwater systems, but these are
increasingly threatened by cyanotoxins released from harmful algal blooms (HABs). Periodic …

Until recently, the data on the diversity of the entire microbial community from the Baltic Sea
were relatively rare and very scarce. However, modern molecular methods have provided …

Marine microbial communities are facing various ecosystem fluctuations (eg, temperature,
organic matter concentration, salinity, or redox regimes) and thus have to be highly adaptive …

Cyanobacteria are globally widespread photosynthetic prokaryotes and are major
contributors to global biogeochemical cycles. One of the most critical processes determining …

ABSTRACT The ice-free McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are dominated by nutrient-poor
mineral soil and rocky outcrops. The principal habitat for microorganisms is within rocks …

Microcystis is the most common freshwater bloom-forming cyanobacterium. Its massive
blooms not only adversely affect the functionality of aquatic ecosystems, but are also …

Abstract Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is considered to be
the most abundant enzyme on Earth. Despite this, its full diversity and distribution across the …

Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data were generated from size-fractionated samples
from 11 sites within the Baltic Sea and adjacent marine waters of Kattegat and freshwater …

Transposases are mobile genetic elements suggested to have an important role in bacterial
genome plasticity and host adaptation but their transcriptional activity in natural bacterial …

Cyanobacteria are important phytoplankton in the Baltic Sea, an estuarine‐like environment
with pronounced north to south gradients in salinity and nutrient concentrations. Here, we …
