Cyanotoxins produced by toxic cyanobacteria pose a major, worldwide environmental threat
to freshwater ecosystems. Microcystins (MCs) are considered to be the most hazardous …

The new genus name Dolichospermum, for most of the planktonic former members of the
genus Anabaena, is one of the most ubiquitous bloom-forming cyanobacterial genera. Its …

Cyanobacteria are found in almost every aquatic ecosystem. Yet their presence does not
automatically pose a risk to public health. Whether or not toxins reach health-relevant …

Abstract “Everything is everywhere, but environments selects.” Is this true? The
cosmopolitan nature of algae, including phytoplankton, has been highlighted in many …

Many phytoplankton species, including many harmful algal bloom (HAB) species, survive
long periods between blooms through formation of benthic resting stages. Because they are …

Cyanophages are highly abundant specific viruses that infect cyanobacterial cells. In recent
years, the cyanophages and cyanobacteria interactions drew attention to environmental …

We considered the limnological literature for an overview of biomanipulation methods that
were implemented to avoid or reduce cyanobacterial bloom development in ponds and …

Millions of lakes worldwide are distributed at latitudes or elevations resulting in the formation
of lake ice during winter. Lake ice affects the transfer of energy, heat, light, and material …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are complex communities that include
coexisting toxic and non-toxic strains only distinguishable by genetic methods. This study …

Once established within a water resource, harmful algal blooms (HABs) can occur
seasonally with an intense and rapid onset, giving water resource managers limited time to …
