A study of a cyanobacterial bloom in the Albert Dock in Preston, Lancashire, UK
… and the other available axenic cultures of Planktothrix species. A dendrogram, produced by comparing of mass spectral fingerprints of the strains is presented, which shows that two groups could be discriminated using MALDI TOF MS with the Preston Dock isolate being the most distantly related …

Responses of Boom-Forming Phytoplankton Populations to Changes in Reservoir Chemistry and Physics
… and Gymnodinium, and the cyanobacterium Planktothrix, respond to horizontal and vertical environmental gradients, respectively. First, I monitored recruitment, or the process of leaving the sediments and entering the pelagic life stage, of dinoflagellates across a horizontal reservoir …

Paleolimnological Reconstruction of Long-Term Trends in Phototrophic Communities in Prairie Reservoirs
… including Microcystis, Dolichospermum, and Planktothrix. Furthermore, the abundance of the microcystin synethetase A gene confirmed the presence of potentially toxic cyanobacteria and that the genetic potential to produce microcystins has been present since reservoir formation. These …

Toxic cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins and drinking water production in Ghana: implications to human health
… species like Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, Planktothrix agardhii and Microcystis spp in the Weija, Kpong, Barekese and the Owabi reservoirs all with basic conventional drinking water treatment facilities, shown to be ineffective in removingcyanobacteria and their toxins, present a potential …

Effects of Low Bioavailable Nitrogen and Phosphorus on Cyanobacteria Dynamics in Eutrophic Lake Erie
The growth and abundance of phytoplankton in freshwater lakes has long been attributed to the concentration of phosphorus (P), and this idea of P-limitation has been a paradigm accepted by limnologists. Hence, lake managers have relied on the strategy of reducing P to restore water quality of …
