Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is a toxic cyanobacterium with an invasive nature. The species is found in all the main continents but its origin and dispersal routes on a worldwide perspective remain yet mostly unknown. In this study, 27 isolates of C. raciborskii gathered worldwide have been used for an in-deep phylogenetic analyses with a concatenated system of three genetic markers (16 rRNA, 16S-23S ITS larger subunit, and RNA polymerase rpoC1) comprehending 3,188 bp. Our results provide support for an origin of C. raciborskii in the American continent. Dispersal routes included afterward a spread into the African continent and then Asia and Australia, being Europe the last continent to be colonized by this species. Our phylogenetic inferences suggest that C. raciborskii seem to have a well-defined dispersal behavior with a well-established population structure around the world.

Harmful blooms caused by diazotrophic (nitrogen-fixing) Cyanobacteria are becoming increasingly frequent and negatively impact aquatic environments worldwide. Cyanophages (viruses infecting Cyanobacteria) can potentially regulate cyanobacterial blooms, yet Cyanobacteria can rapidly acquire mutations that provide protection against phage infection. Here, we provide novel insights into cyanophage:Cyanobacteria interactions by characterizing the resistance to phages in two species of diazotrophic Cyanobacteria: Nostoc sp.

The proliferation of Raphidiopsis raciborskii blooms has sparked concerns regarding potential human exposure to heightened saxitoxins (STXs) levels. Thus, comprehending how environmental elements drive the proliferation of this STXs-producing species can aid in predicting human exposure risks. This study aimed to explore the link between cyanobacteria R.

To investigate the distribution characteristics of the cyanobacteria community and the driving factors in impounded lakes and reservoirs in Shandong on the east route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, monthly samples of phytoplankton and the aquatic environment from Nansi Lake, Dongping Lake, Datun Reservoir, Donghu Reservoir, and Shuangwangcheng Reservoir were collected from May to November during 2010 to 2019. A total of 44 planktonic cyanobacteria taxa were identified with 23 filamentous cyanobacteria taxa. , and were the dominant harmful cyanobacteria species, with a high detection frequency and abundance in all lakes and reservoirs.
