This review summarizes the present state of knowledge regarding the toxic, bloom-forming
cyanobacterium, Microcystis, with a specific focus on its geographic distribution, toxins …

Microcystis is a cyanobacterium that forms toxic blooms in freshwater ecosystems around
the world. Biological variation among taxa within the genus is apparent through genetic and …

Toxic and non-toxic cyanobacterial strains from Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Calothrix,
Cylindrospermum, Nostoc, Microcystis, Planktothrix (Oscillatoria agardhii), Oscillatoria and …

Morphological analysis and sequencing of the 165 rRNA gene, the spacer region of the
ribosomal operon (ITS1) and the rbcLX (RubisCO) region was performed on 26 Anabaena …

Genomic DNA homologies were examined from six Microcystis (cyanobacteria) strains,
including five different species, Microcystis aeruginosa, Microcystis ichthyoblabe, Microcystis …

Temporal changes in hepatotoxin microcystin-producing and non-microcystin-producing
Microcystis aeruginosa populations were examined in Lake Mikata, Japan. To monitor the …

Partial 16S rDNA sequences were determined for six Microcystis strains from lakes in the
region of Plön (Northern Germany) assigned to four different species on the basis of their …

Cyanobacteria and their phages are significant microbial components of the freshwater and
marine environments. We identified a lytic phage, Ma-LMM01, infecting Microcystis …

For the first time in Belgium and Luxembourg, the diversity and taxonomy of 95
cyanobacterial strains isolated from freshwater blooms were assessed by the comparison of …

One of the most serious problems related to water eutrophication is the occurrence of
increasingly frequent blooms of toxic cyanobacteria in freshwater ecosystems. Microcystin …
