Article Synopsis
- Freshwater lakes face threats from harmful Cyanobacterial Aggregates (CAs), which consist of cyanobacteria and associated bacteria that may have mutualistic relationships.
- A study conducted in Lake Taihu, China, analyzed 26 CA samples over a year, revealing that two genera of cyanobacteria, Microcystis and Dolichospermum, alternately dominated based on environmental conditions such as temperature and nitrogen levels.
- Specific bacterial communities were found to be closely linked with distinct cyanobacterial genera, highlighting a codependent nitrogen-cycling pathway that suggests a functional relationship between them.
