Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies researchers found a 'massive' amount of algal bloom in a section of the Hudson River.

Researchers have identified the cyanobacterium Microcystis between Kingston and Staatsburg, with patches extending into Rondout Creek, the Wallkill River, and as far south as Beacon. The New York ...

Toxic algae blooms are turning Lake Erie green, choking its shoreline with foul-smelling sludge and leaving residents battling health problems as scientists warn the outbreaks are growing longer and ...

The bloom, made up of the cyanobacterium microcystis, stretches from Kingston to Staatsburg. People and pets are advised to ...

There needs to be independent examination of the risks to public water taken from Lough Neagh as the blue-green algae crisis ...

The hypothesis that outcomes of phosphorus and light competition between Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and Microcystis aeruginosa are strain dependent was tested experimentally. Critical requirements ...

Microcystins are secondary metabolites produced by different species of cyanobacteria, such as Microcystis aeruginosa (MA). In this study, the biochemical and genetic effects of lyophilized MA were ...

Harmful algal blooms, as seen here in a 2017 satellite view of Lake Erie, threaten drinking water and wildlife. Credit: NASA Earth Observatory When populations of tiny aquatic organisms called ...

Abstract: Urban growth and agricultural production have caused an influx of nutrients into Lake Erie, leading to eutrophication in the water body. These conditions result in the formation of algal ...

With the goal of investigating the assembly and fragmentation of cellular aggregates, this work investigates cyanobacterial aggregates in a laboratory setting. Investigating the conditions and ...

Historically, Lake Okeechobee was thought to be impaired only by phosphorus, focusing efforts on reducing agricultural runoff. However, new comprehensive sampling across the Lake Okeechobee Waterway ...
