The health of freshwater and marine ecosystems is critical to life on Earth. The impact of
solar UV-B radiation is one potential stress factor that can have a negative impact on the …

About 40 years have passed since the discovery of picophytoplankton; the present
knowledge of the taxonomy physiology and ecology of these tiny photoautotrophic cells …

A novel conceptual model linking anoxia, phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), iron (Fe) and
sulphate to the formation of noxious filamentous and colonial cyanobacteria blooms is …

Cyanobacteria are among the oldest photoautotrophic organisms on Earth, and have
contributed to shaping the planet's biogeochemistry with their significant biomass and key …

This chapter deals with some taxonomic and ecological aspects of picocyanobacteria (Pcy)
single-cells, microcolonies and other colonial (CPcy), that are common in lakes throughout …

We studied the phylogenetic diversity of nonmarine picocyanobacteria broadening the
sequence data set with 43 new sequences of the 16S rRNA gene. The sequences were …

The influence of nutrient availability and light conditions on phytoplankton size-structure,
nutritional strategy and production was studied in a phosphorus-poor estuary in the northern …

The extreme environmental conditions of the diverse saline inland waters (soda lakes and
pans, hypersaline lakes and ponds) of the Carpathian Basin are an advantage for …

Picocyanobacteria (Pcy) single-cells and microcolonies are common in lakes throughout the
world, and abundant across a wide spectrum of trophic conditions. The single-celled Pcy …

Picocyanobacteria of the genus Synechococcus (together with Cyanobium and
Prochlorococcus) have captured the attention of microbial ecologists since their description …
