Microcystins (MCs) are the most commonly studied cyanotoxins. While these past studies
have mainly focused on the toxicity of MCs, the evolutionary history of life has shown that …

Water managers worldwide are facing the serious problem of dense blooms of
cyanobacteria in surface waters. In the quest for the optimal method to combat …

We undertook a comparative study of the James River Estuary, a sub-estuary of
Chesapeake Bay, and the Curonian Lagoon, a sub-estuary of the Baltic Sea, to better …

Cyanobacterial blooms pose a significant environmental threat in freshwater ecosystems.
These cyanobacteria exhibit resilience to cold and dark conditions during winter and flourish …

Although an understanding of the quantity and quality of sedimentary organic matter (SOM)
pools is necessary to design sound environmental management strategies for lacustrine …

Akinetes are resistant cells which have the ability to persist in sediment for several decades.
We have investigated the temporal distribution of akinetes of two species, Dolichospermum …

Microcystis colonies can overwinter in sediment and may inoculate the water column
through recruitment, promoting the annual recurrence of Microcystis blooms. Through …

Health risk assessment related to water quality and microcystin contamination of water in the
Kuibyshev Reservoir was conducted in August 2012 during the period of algal bloom. The …

Blooms of Microcystis aeruginosa occur frequently in many freshwater ecosystems around
the world, but the mechanism of recovery has not been fully understood. In our previous …

Although microcystins (MCs) are the most commonly studied cyanotoxins, their significance
to the producing organisms remains unclear. MCs are known as endotoxins, but they can be …
