Journal ArticleDOI
Biology of the freshwater diatom Didymosphenia : a review
TL;DR: In spite of many adverse reports about D. geminata, there is still doubt about the extent to which it causes problems, particularly for fish, although it remains open to question how much adverse effect it has had on fish populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of organic phosphate hydrolyzed in stalks of the lotic diatom Didymosphenia geminata and the possible impact of atmospheric and climatic changes
TL;DR: It seems likely that organic phosphate as a major P source is a key factor favouring the success of Didymosphenia and the possible impact of environmental changes in the catchment such as climatic warming, C loss from peat and atmospheric N deposition is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of exopolysaccharides produced by seven biofilm-forming cyanobacterial strains for biotechnological applications
Francesca Di Pippo,Francesca Di Pippo,Neil Thomas William Ellwood,Alessandra Gismondi,Laura Bruno,Federico Rossi,Paolo Magni,Roberto De Philippis +7 more
TL;DR: It was shown that the anionic nature of the exopolysaccharides was due to the presence of carboxylic and sulfated groups and is likely the main characteristic with industrial applicability.
Book ChapterDOI
Ecological aspects of phosphatase activity in cyanobacteria, eukaryotic algae and bryophytes
Ba Whitton,A. M. Al-Shehri,Neil Thomas William Ellwood,Benjamin L. Turner,Emmanuel Frossard,D. S. Baldwin +5 more
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the phosphatase activities of mosses in relation to their environment
TL;DR: Staining suggested that PMEase activity was located in the cell wall of most mosses, and phosphatase assays provide a rapid method for screening environmental nutrient status and a standard procedure is recommended.
