Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) impact lakes, estuaries, and freshwater
reservoirs worldwide. The duration, severity, and spread of CyanoHABs have markedly …

An intensification of toxic cyanobacteria blooms has occurred over the last three decades,
severely affecting coastal and lake water quality in many parts of the world. Extensive …

Polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of orthophosphate (PO4 3-) of varying lengths, has been
identified in all kingdoms of life. It can serve as a source of chemical bond energy …

Cyanobacterial blooms occur when algal densities exceed baseline population
concentrations. Cyanobacteria can produce a large number of secondary metabolites …

Over the past 15 years, the genetic basis for production of many cyanobacterial bioactive
compounds has been described. This knowledge has enabled investigations into the …

The traditional genus Aphanizomenon comprises a group of filamentous nitrogen-fixing
cyanobacteria of which several memebers are able to develop blooms and to produce toxic …

Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are critical macroelements in freshwater systems.
Historically, researchers and managers have focused on inorganic forms, based on the …

In aquatic ecosystems, unicellular algae form the basis of the food webs. Theoretical and
experimental studies have demonstrated that one of the mechanisms that maintain high …

The cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN), a toxic metabolite from cyanobacteria, is of
particular concern due to its cosmopolitan occurrence, aquatic bioaccumulation, and multi …

Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is a cyanobacterial species extensively studied for its toxicity,
bloom formation and invasiveness potential, which have consequences to public and …
