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 …

Programmed cell death is a basic cellular mechanism. Apoptotic-like programmed cell death
(called apoptosis in animals) occurs in both unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and …

Unicellular, planktonic, prokaryotic and eukaryotic photoautotrophs (phytoplankton) have an
ancient evolutionary history on Earth during which time they have played key roles in the …

The photosynthetic cyanobacterium Trichodesmium is widely distributed in the surface low
latitude ocean where it contributes significantly to N2 fixation and primary productivity …

Cyanobacterial blooms present substantial challenges to managers and threaten ecological
and public health. Although the majority of cyanobacterial bloom research and management …

Nitrogen fixation has a critical role in marine primary production, yet our understanding of
marine nitrogen-fixers (diazotrophs) is hindered by limited observations. Here, we report a …

Diazotrophs are widespread microorganisms that alleviate nitrogen limitation in 60% of our
oceans, thereby regulating marine productivity. Yet, the group-specific contribution of …

Transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) are ubiquitous in marine and freshwater
environments. For the past two decades, the distribution and ecological roles of these …

Ferroptosis is an oxidative and iron-dependent form of regulated cell death (RCD) recently
described in eukaryotic organisms like animals, plants, and parasites. Here, we report that a …

The global expansion and intensification of toxic cyanobacterial blooms require effective
algaecides. Algaecides should be selective, effective, fast-acting, and ideally suppress …
