Eutrophication of natural water bodies worldwide has led to cyanobacteria becoming the
dominant species in phytoplankton communities, causing serious harm environmentally and …

Bacteria are now generally believed to adopt two main lifestyles: planktonic individuals, or
surface-attached biofilms. However, in recent years medical microbiologists started to stress …

Water shortage is one of the leading global problems along with the depletion of energy
resources and environmental deterioration. Recent industrialization, global mobility, and …

Nylon has been widely used all over the world, and most of it eventually enters the aquatic
environment in the form of microplastics (MPs). However, the impact of Nylon MPs on …

Interactions between bacteria and phytoplankton in the phycosphere have impacts at the
scale of whole ecosystems, including the development of harmful algal blooms. The …

Belowground interactions mediated by root exudates are critical for the productivity and
efficiency of intercropping systems. Herein, we investigated the process of microbial …

Freshwater lakes are threatened by harmful cyanobacterial blooms, whose basic unit is
Cyanobacterial Aggregate (CA). CA-attached bacteria play a significant role through …

Antibiotics can stimulate the growth of model cyanobacterial species under pure culture
conditions, but their influence on cyanobacterial blooms in natural aquatic ecosystems …

Algal extracellular organic matter (EOM) metabolites exert considerable impact on the
carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) cycles mediated by attached bacteria. Field …

Microbial aggregates play key roles in cyanobacterial blooms. Being a bacterial
communication mechanism, quorum sensing (QS) synchronizes gene expression in a …
