The reoccurrence of significant cyanobacterial blooms in Lake Erie during the last 13 years
has raised questions concerning the long-term persistence of microcystin-producing …

The diversity of microcystin-producing cyanobacteria in the western basin of Lake Erie was
studied using sequence analysis of mcyA gene fragments. Distinct populations of potentially …

During the past decade, algae blooms, which include the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis,
have reoccurred in the Laurentian Great Lakes, most commonly in the western basin of Lake …

Cyanobacteria of genus Microcystis sp. have been commonly found in Lake Erie waters
during recent summer seasons. In an effort to elucidate relationships between microcystin …

For almost two decades, the western basin of Lake Erie has been plagued with recurring
toxic algal blooms dominated by the colonial cyanobacterium, Microcystis spp. Since the …

Toxic cyanobacterial blooms, as well as their increasing global occurrence, pose a serious
threat to public health, domestic animals, and livestock. In Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain …

Cyanobacterial blooms are increasing worldwide favored by eutrophic conditions of aquatic
ecosystems associated with climatic perturbations. Generally, inland lentic systems are more …
