TL;DR: Observations and analyses indicate that, at the time of sample collection, Microcystis populations were under dual nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stress, as genes involved in scavenging of these nutrients were being actively transcribed.

TL;DR: A dual-model strategy can provide an approach to address the challenges of using satellite imagery to quantify the spatial patterns of cyanobacterial toxins, provided cyanotoxin variability is addressed.

TL;DR: A correlation between the increasing fraction of chemically reduced N from the Maumee River and increasing bloom biomass demonstrates the urgent need to control N loading, in addition to current P load reductions, to WLE and similar systems impacted by non-N-fixing, toxin-producing cyanobacteria.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared spring and summer phytoplankton abundance in central and western Lake Erie based on monitoring data to show that spring biovolume was 1.5- to 6-fold greater than summer biovoloume and most spring was composed of filamentous diatoms, primarily Aulacoseira islandica, that is likely supported by an increasing silica load from Lake Huron.

TL;DR: The high relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia in north temperate lake systems is highlighted and insights into drivers of within-phylum habitat preferences of the Verru comicrobia are expanded.
