The Baltic Sea is affected by a range of human induced environmental pressures such as
eutrophication. Here we synthesize the ongoing shift from diatom dominance toward more …

Several factors highlight the importance of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in coastal
ecosystems such as the Baltic Sea: 1) DOM is the main energy source for heterotrophic …

Abstract Eutrophication of the Baltic Sea has potentially increased the frequency and
magnitude of cyanobacteria blooms. Eutrophication leads to increased sedimentation of …

The current study reports the community succession of different toxin and non-toxin
producing cyanobacteria at different stages of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms …

The Baltic Sea is one of the world's marine areas well-covered by both long-term
observations and oceanographic studies. It is also a large coastal area in which …

Whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to assess the transcriptomic
response of the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa during growth with low levels …

In late summer, massive blooms and surface scums of cyanobacteria emerge regularly in
the Baltic Sea. The bacteria can produce toxins and add bioavailable nitrogen fixed from …

Nodularia spumigena is a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium that forms toxic blooms in the
Baltic Sea each summer and the availability of phosphorous is an important factor limiting …

Single-cell measurements of biochemical processes have advanced our understanding of
cellular physiology in individual microbes and microbial populations. Due to methodological …

A longstanding recognition of eutrophication as the most common threat to the entire Baltic
Sea (see eg Voipio, 1981; Larsson et al., 1985; HELCOM, 1993, Wulff et al., 2001c) has led …
