Eutrophication of natural water bodies worldwide has led to cyanobacteria becoming the
dominant species in phytoplankton communities, causing serious harm environmentally and …

Cyanobacteria are widely-diverse, environmentally crucial photosynthetic prokaryotes of
great interests for basic and applied science. Work to date has focused mostly on the three …

Phosphorus (P) is a vital macronutrient associated with the growth and proliferation of
Raphidiopsis raciborskii, an invasive and notorious bloom-forming cyanobacterium …

Monitoring in the US state of Washington across the period 2007–2019 showed that
Woronichinia has been present in many lakes state-wide. This cyanobacterium was …

The pulse–reserve paradigm (PRP) is central in dryland ecology, although microorganismal
traits were not explicitly considered in its inception. We asked if the PRP could be reframed …

We investigate the distribution and evolution of prokaryotic cell size based on a compilation
of 5,380 species. Size spans four orders of magnitude, from 100 nm (Mycoplasma) to more …

Untargeted genetic approaches can be used to explore the high metabolic versatility of
cyanobacteria. In this context, a comprehensive metagenomic shotgun analysis was …

Many of the world's freshwater ecosystems suffer from cyanobacteria-mediated blooms and
their toxins. However, a mechanistic understanding of why and how Microcystis aeruginosa …

The mechanisms driving cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs) like those caused by
Microcystis aeruginosa remain elusive, but improved defense against viral predation has …

Long-standing cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are known to result from
synergistic interaction between elevated nutrients and superior ecophysiology of …
