Cyanobacteria were present on the earth 3.5 billion years ago; since then they have
colonized almost all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They produce a high number of …

The widespread distribution of cyanobacteria in the aquatic environment is increasing the
risk of water pollution caused by cyanotoxins, which poses a serious threat to human health …

Climate change and eutrophication are two environmental threats that can alter the structure
of freshwater ecosystems and their service functions, but we know little about how …

Cyanobacterial mass occurrence is becoming a growing concern worldwide. They notably
pose a threat to water users when cyanotoxins are produced. The aim of this study was to …

Interactions between climate change and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) have a substantial
impact on aquatic ecosystems, especially on photosynthetic organisms. To counteract the …

Microcystis aeruginosa causes severe problems in freshwater environments worldwide due
to its capacity to form blooms and produce toxins. Natural populations contain a mixture of …

Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton that first appeared at least 2.5 billion
years ago and have a prolonged evolutionary history. They can form impenetrable and toxic …

Lake Caohai has experienced extensive Microcystis blooms in recent years, and to improve
its water quality, the local government carried out a series of water control measures. To …

Mixing is an integral environmental factor that affects lake ecosystems. For the
cyanobacterium Microcystis, colony size is important with respects to migration velocity, how …

Cyanobacterial blooms in aquatic environments are a worldwide problem that greatly
depend on the recruitment of benthic Microcystis species. In addition to environmental …
