Q2. Why was t0 selected as the beginning of the experiment?
This is because zooplankton grazing 185 reduces the total cell biomass during the first couple of experimental days, thus t0 was 186 selected as the time of minimum biomass in the zooplankton grazing experiments.
Q3. What is the effect of microcystis on colony size?
Once 332 Microcystis colonies reach a certain size (> 50 μm), their microcystin production 333 increases and correlates with a further increase in colony size (Wang et al., 2013).
Q4. What is the effect of nutrition on the formation of microcystis aerugi?
Abiotic factors in colony formation: effects of nutrition and 563 light on extracellular polysaccharide production and cell aggregates of 564 Microcystis aeruginosa.
Q5. how many structures are involved in the biosynthesis of microcystis aerugi?
Complexity of cyanobacterial exopolysaccharides: composition, 500 structures, inducing factors and putative genes involved in their biosynthesis 501 and assembly.
Q6. What is the role of EPS in the formation of Microcystis?
While colony morphology plays an important role in the bloom formation of this 92 species, studies of Microcystis colony formation are hindered by the fact that 93 Microcystis in cultures typically remain as single cells (Yang et al., 2008; Li et al., 94 2013c).
Q7. What is the role of cations in the formation of the sulfated glyco?
Divalent cations stabilize the 441 aggregation of sulfated glycoproteins in the adhesive nanofibers of the 442 biofouling diatom Toxarium undulatum.
Q8. How can bEPS be used to form colonies?
This process can occur more quickly than cell292 division, and assumes an adhesive bEPS can quickly be employed or secreted by the 293 single cells to allow adhesion to each other.
