Bloom-forming cyanobacteria Planktothrix agardhii and P. rubescens are regularly involved
in the occurrence of cyanotoxin in lakes and reservoirs. Besides microcystins (MCs), which …

Nano-sized and filterable microorganisms are thought to represent the smallest living
organisms on earth and are characterized by their small size (50–400 nm) and their ability to …

Deciphering responses of rare versus abundant bacterioplankton to environmental change,
crucial for understanding and mitigating of cyanobacterial blooms, is an important but poorly …

Actinobacteria of the acI lineage are the most abundant microbes in freshwater systems, but
there are so far no pure living cultures of these organisms, possibly because of metabolic …

In recent years, the global carbon cycle has garnered significant research attention.
However, details of the intricate relationship between planktonic bacteria, hydrochemistry …

Invasive species impart abrupt changes on ecosystems, but their impacts on microbial
communities are often overlooked. We paired a 20 y freshwater microbial community time …

Nitrogen species such as ammonia and nitrite are considered as major stressors in modern
aquaculture practices. We developed enrichments of ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB) and …

Background Representatives of the phylum Chloroflexi, though reportedly highly abundant
in the extensive deep water habitats of both marine (SAR202 up to 30% of total prokaryotes) …

Lotic ecosystems such as rivers and streams are unique in that they represent a continuum
of both space and time during the transition from headwaters to the river mouth. As microbes …

Bacterial communities play a critical role in food webs and the biogeochemical cycles of
fundamental elements. However, there remains a substantial gap in our knowledge of the …
