Airborne dispersal of microalgae has largely been a blind spot in environmental biological
studies because of their low concentration in the atmosphere and the technical limitations in …

In temperate lakes, it is generally assumed that light rather than temperature constrains
phytoplankton growth in winter. Rapid winter warming and increasing observations of winter …

Bacterial adhesins are modular cell-surface proteins that mediate adherence to other cells,
surfaces, and ligands. The Antarctic bacterium Marinomonas primoryensis uses a 1.5-MDa …

In freshwater lakes, harmful algal blooms (HABs) of Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae)
produce toxins that impact human health. However, little is known about the lake spray …
