Journal ArticleDOI
Health impacts from cyanobacteria harmful algae blooms: Implications for the North American Great Lakes.
TL;DR: It is shown that cHABs occur throughout the Great Lakes basin, with reports of animal illness and death, especially dogs and livestock, and that the dominant toxigenic cyanobacterium is the genus Microcystis known to produce microcystins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of hot spring cyanobacteria to the mysterious deaths of Lesser Flamingos at Lake Bogoria, Kenya
Lothar Krienitz,Andreas Ballot,Kiplagat Kotut,Claudia Wiegand,Stephanie Pütz,James S. Metcalf,Geoffrey A. Codd,Stephan Pflugmacher +7 more
TL;DR: Intoxication with cyanobacterial toxins could occur by uptake of detached cyanob bacterial cells from the mats, as the flamingos need to drink fresh or brackish water, and to wash their feathers daily, which they do in the vicinity of the hot springs, where salinity is lower than in the main body of water of the lake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of real-time PCR for quantification of microcystin genotypes in a population of the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis sp.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the mean proportion of microcystin genotypes is stable from winter to summer and that Microcystis cell numbers could be used to infer themean proportion of mcy genotypes in Lake Wannsee.

Phylum BX. Cyanobacteria
Richard W. Castenholz,Annick Wilmotte,Michael Herdman,Rosmarie Rippka,John B. Waterbury,Isabelle Iteman,Lucien Hoffmann +6 more
TL;DR: Members of the Prochlorales simply represent different, unrelated genera which fall into the main cluster of the Cyanobacteria (see Oxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria, below).
Journal ArticleDOI
Southern African Biological Soil Crusts are Ubiquitous and Highly Diverse in Drylands, Being Restricted by Rainfall Frequency
Burkhard Büdel,Tatyana Darienko,Kirstin Deutschewitz,Stephanie Dojani,Thomas Friedl,Kathrin I. Mohr,Mario Salisch,Werner Reisser,Bettina Weber +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that BSCs are a normal and frequent element of the vegetation in arid and semi-arid southwestern Africa, and that rain frequency and duration of dry periods rather than the precipitation amount is the main factor for BSC growth and succession.
