When populations of tiny aquatic organisms called cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green algae) explode, their toxic ...

A research team at Clarkson University recently published a study about a plant based alternative to traditional chemical ...

New research from Africa's Lake Victoria has revealed critical clues about toxic algal blooms and their potential impact on Lake Erie and beyond.

The team's research focuses on using Moringa oleifera to combat the cyanobacterium that causes HABs—known as Microcystis aeruginosa—and comparing it to the traditional chemical method of using ...

There is still Microcystis present in the system and warmer, less windy conditions could result in higher toxin readings again.” According to environmental scientist Christopher Swart, who made it to ...

We performed experiments on laboratory cultures and lake samples of the cyanobacterium Microcystis, while their colony size distribution was measured simultaneously by direct microscopic imaging. We ...
