As algae
in a cyanobacterial bloom die, the water may smell bad.
We interpret them as oxygen bubbles created
in cyanobacterial biomats in shallow waters 1,6 billion years ago, said Therese Sallstedt.

in cyanobacterial material.»

Steven Wilhelm, Kenneth and Blaire Mossman Professor of Microbiology, along with UT graduate students Joshua Stough and Lauren Krausfeldt, worked with a team of 25 researchers to examine the physiological traits of Microcystis, the
cyanobacterial organism responsible for scum - like algal blooms
in Lake Erie.
We also analyzed phycobiliprotein contents
in individual
cyanobacterial cells (Synechococcus sp..
The effects of the
cyanobacterial blooms include a higher cost for cities and local governments to treat their drinking water, as well as risk to swimmers
in high concentration areas, and a nuisance to boaters when blooms form.
Site - directed mutagenesis and kinetic analysis of RNA splicing were used to identify a base triple
in the conserved core of both a
cyanobacterial (Anabaena) and a eukaryotic (Tetrahymena) group I intron.
Using the

in generating primarily one structure — an important requirement for pharmaceutical application.
We have been able to express β -
cyanobacterial carboxysome shell proteins transiently
in chloroplasts of tobacco leaves.

Clusters of ALS have been reported near
cyanobacterial bloom outbreaks
in France, Japan, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin [23 — 27].
Dr. Anton Post is a microbiologist who specializes
in the molecular ecology of marine microorganisms with a focus on abundant
cyanobacterial species.
Swallowing water that has
cyanobacterial toxins
in it can cause acute, severe gastroenteritis (including diarrhea and vomiting).
Back on track, the marked trends towards widespread, increased oceanic
cyanobacterial growth
in the last decade have of course not gone unobserved.
(2) there is verifiable concurrent increasing
cyanobacterial productivity
in these waters AND the emergence of two strands (consortia) of bacteria which bloom twice a year (unlike the SH below 30 S) thereby increasing the proportion of the year
in which the sea surface is affected.
The net effects of
cyanobacterial blooming are ALL
in the direction of cooling, particularly of the lower atmosphere viz:
Note how the ANNUAL AREA under the black line (average chorophyll therefore average
cyanobacterial productivity) has risen markedly over the 5 - year period 2003 — 2007 while over the same period there has been minimal change
in maximum daytime summer SSTs or minimum daytime winter SSTs.
You know, for a little while there I even thought that Bob T himself (who is undoubtedly an interesting fellow) might even be sharp enough to appreciate that the coupling of increased atmospheric CO2 and increased seawater N nutrient levels to produce enhanced
cyanobacterial productivity
in near surface layers of the oceans would also produce the weather - moderating effects listed above (particularly
in the areas where tropical storms are «brewed»).
But consider this: if the cost of PV / electrolytic or
cyanobacterial fuel (using environmental CO2) becomes competitive with current natural gas, an investment
in such a plant is completely hedged,
in terms of being «green».
But pollution also covers hundreds of chemicals which are fine or even beneficial at low levels but which if released
in large quantities or
in problematic circumstances cause «harm» — like phosphorus (grows your veges but also leads to toxic
cyanobacterial blooms which kill cattle), nitrogen (grows crops kills many native species of plants and promotes weed growth costing farmers), copper (used as an oxygen carrier by gastropods but
in high concentrations kills the life
in sediments which feed fish), hormones like oestrogen (essential for regulating bodies but
in high concentrations confuse reproductive cycles especially with marine life) or maybe molasses from a sugar mill (good for rum but when dumped into east coast estuaries used to cause oxygen sag
in estuaries leading to massive fish kills).
In the case of the cyanobacterial mat - covered polygonal ponds on Bylot Island, the negative CO2 flux most likely resulted from high photosynthetic rates in the mats, and the modern dates for CH4 suggest that abundant labile compounds coming from a modern autochthonous pool could be the main C supply for microbial activity, including methanogenesi

Whereas
cyanobacterial blooms occur often on the actual Earth, they remain relatively small
in scale, Ziemen said.
