Open AccessConformational changes in photosynthetic pigment proteins on thylakoid membranes can lead to fast non-photochemical quenching in cyanobacteria
A high non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) appeared below the phase transition temperature when Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806 cells were exposed to saturated light for a short time. This suggested that a component...

Competition between toxic Microcystis aeruginosa and nontoxic Microcystis wesenbergii with Anabaena PCC7120
To elucidate the changes in the proportions of microcystin (MC)-producing Microcystis, non-MC-producing Microcystis and Anabaena strains during cyanobacteria blooms, we compared their fitness under different init...

Biosorption of Copper by Cyanobacterial Bloom-Derived Biomass Harvested from the Eutrophic Lake Dianchi in China
Biomass of cyanobacterial bloom from Lake Dianchi was used as a biosorbent for copper removal from aqueous solution. The maximum capacity was found at conditions of pH 4, initial concentration of copper was 10...

Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic relationship of Anabaena species from Lakes Dianchi and Erhai, China
Although Anabaena is one of the most prevalent planktonic freshwater genus in China, there are few taxonomic reports of Anabaena strains by morphology and genetics. In this study, morphological characteristics an...

Effects of sand burial on biomass, chlorophyll fluorescence and extracellular polysaccharides of man-made cyanobacterial crusts under experimental conditions
Soil cyanobacterial crusts occur throughout the world, especially in the semiarid and arid regions. It always encounters sand burial, which is an important feature of mobile sand dunes. A greenhouse study was ...
