Microcystis blooms pose a major threat to the quality of drinking water. Cyanobactericidal
bacteria have attracted much attention in the research community as a vehicle for controlling …

The excessive proliferation of Microcystis aeruginosa can lead to ecological damage,
economic losses, and threaten animal and human health. For controlling Microcystis …

Many degraded waterbodies around the world are subject to strong proliferations of
cyanobacteria–notorious for their toxicity, high biomass build-up and negative impacts on …

Global warming and eutrophication accelerated Microcystis blooms, causing water quality
deterioration. Cyanocides produced by cyanobactericidal bacteria have attracted substantial …

The interactions between bacteria and algae may play a significant part in the formation and
development of algal blooms. The bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis occurs mainly …

Despite its importance for bloom toxicity, the factors determining the population structure of
cyanobacterial blooms are poorly understood. Here, we report the results of a two‐year field …

Cyanobacterial blooms represent a nutritious niche for associated bacteria including
potential pathogens for humans as well as livestock. We investigated bacterial community …

Although the cyanobacterium Microcystis is colonial during water blooms, isolated
Microcystis strains become unicellular in culture. Studies indicate that heterotrophic bacteria …

Increasing salinities in freshwater ecosystems caused by agricultural practices, droughts, or
rise in sea level are likely to affect the species composition of phototrophic microorganisms …

Blooms of the cyanobacterium Microcystis threaten aquatic ecosystems. Protozoa grazing
can control unicellular Microcystis populations; however, Microcystis blooms are composed …
