Microcystin-producing culture of benthic cyanobacterium Tychonema sp. BBK16 isolated
from biofilm fouling of the coastal zone of Lake Baikal is described for the first time. The pink …

Cyanobacteria of the genera Anabaena and Microcystis, containing genes for the synthesis
of-microcystins (hepatotoxic cyanotoxins) were found for the first time in the coastal zone of …

(Lyngb.) Breb., and A. circinalis (Kutz.) Hansg. In 2009–2010, all three genera of toxigenic
cyanobacte ria were present in the phytoplankton in approxi mately equal proportions …

Comprehensive investigations of the Svisloch River phytoplankton were performed in 2006-
2010. Samples were taken all-the-year-round at four sites: reservoirs Drozdy and Lake …

Cyanobacteria containing toxin synthesis genes and capable to produce toxins have been
found since 2005 in the plankton of the coastal zone of Lake Baikal and in the water bodies …

SIDELEV et al. reaction. The PCR products were fractionated elec trophoretically in 2%
agarose gel and analyzed under UV illumination after staining with ethidium bromide. The …

DNA was isolated from the phytoplankton fraction of Baikal water. Polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) was conducted with the primers flanking a 812-bp gene region [5, 13]. DNA …

Some species of cyanobacteria synthesize toxins whose concentration during water bloom
can reach values dangerous for human and animal health. Planktonic cyanobacteria are the …

Abstract In 2002–2008, seasonal (April–November) monitoring of the phytoplankton in the
Russian part of the Curonian Lagoon at five fixed sites was performed. A total of 91 …

The paper presents results from the first application of polyphasic approach in studies of
field samples from Bulgaria. This approach, which combined the conventional light …
