An algae bloom spotted last week in Great Slave Lake in Yellowknife has turned out not to be toxic. Cyanobacteria — or blue-green algae — was reported on Aug. 18 along the Rotary boardwalk in ...

The summer of 2022 marked the first major harmful algal bloom—or HAB—in Otsego Lake, resulting in the closure of the public beach at Glimmerglass State Park as well as the Village of Cooperstown-owned ...

It is the first study to assess both the abundance and viability of overwintering Microcystis cells from sediments in the Great Lakes. To do so, the team of scientists gathered sediment-core samples ...

Moving forward It may be time to revise the parameters we use to monitor harmful algal blooms. Cyanophages are not just ecological background noise, they are active participants in bloom dynamics and ...

The blooms are composed largely of Microcystis, a genus of colony-forming cyanobacteria that sometimes produce liver toxins called microcystins. Lake Erie is a drinking water source for 11 million ...

On Friday, August 1, 2014, NOAA scientists were monitoring a budding microcystis bloom at the mouth of the Maumee River. The red pixels picked up by satellite imaging signaled the first wave in the ...

Here, based on metagenomic sequencing, the phyla, genera, functional genes and metabolic functions of the bacterioplankton communities were compared between open lakes (underlying Microcystis blooms) ...
