The response of Microcystis aeruginosa strain MGK to a single or two consecutive H O applications.

Various approaches have been proposed to control/eliminate toxic Microcystis sp. blooms including H O treatments. Earlier studies showed that pre-exposure of various algae to oxidative stress induced massive cell death when cultures were exposed to an additional H O treatment.

Secondary Metabolites of Strain A134 Isolated from a Bloom.

strain A134 was isolated from colonies collected from Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), Israel. The culture media inhibited the growth of (strain MGK). The crude extract of a large-scale culture of A134 was separated in a few chromatographic steps to yield three new secondary metabolites, 9-chlorolumichrome (), veronimide () and veronipyrazine (), along with a known lumichrome and several known diketopiperazines.

Increased algicidal activity of Aeromonas veronii in response to Microcystis aeruginosa: interspecies crosstalk and secondary metabolites synergism.

Toxic Microcystis spp. blooms constitute a serious threat to water quality worldwide. Aeromonas veronii was isolated from Microcystis sp.

Casting a net: fibres produced by Microcystis sp. in field and laboratory populations.

The reasons for the apparent dominance of the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis sp., reflected by its massive blooms in many fresh water bodies, are poorly understood. We show that in addition to a large array of secondary metabolites, some of which are toxic to eukaryotes, Microcystis sp.

Interactions between Scenedesmus and Microcystis may be used to clarify the role of secondary metabolites.

Microcystis sp. are major players in the global intensification of toxic cyanobacterial blooms endangering the water quality of freshwater bodies. A novel green alga identified as Scenedesmus sp.
