Historically, phosphorus (P) has been considered the primary limiting nutrient for
phytoplankton assemblages in freshwater ecosystems. This review, supported by new …

Cyanobacteria are ecologically one of the most prolific groups of phototrophic prokaryotes in
both marine and freshwater habitats. Both the beneficial and detrimental aspects of …

Microcystis is a cyanobacterium that forms toxic blooms in freshwater ecosystems around
the world. Biological variation among taxa within the genus is apparent through genetic and …

Both phytoplankton and bacteria are fundamental organisms with key ecological functions in
lake ecosystems. However, the mechanistic interactions through which phytoplankton …

Future sustainability of freshwater resources is seriously threatened due to the presence of
harmful cyanobacterial blooms, and yet, the number, extent, and distribution of most …

Microcystins are potent hepatotoxins predominantly produced by bloom-forming freshwater
cyanobacteria (eg, Microcystis, Planktothrix, Dolichospermum). Microcystin biosynthesis …

The coastal communities of Lee County, Florida, USA have grown rapidly since the 1970s.
In this county, drainage ditches, canals, creeks, and the Caloosahatchee River Estuary often …

Recent studies have shown that the total nitrogen to total phosphorus (TN: TP) ratio and
nitrogen oxidation state may have substantial effects on secondary metabolite (eg …

Background While transcriptomics have become a valuable tool for linking physiology and
ecology in aquatic microbes, the temporal dynamics of global transcriptomic patterns in …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (CyanoHAB) proliferation is a global problem impacting
