Cyanobacteria are probably the most numerous creatures to have ever existed on Earth. They’re good for making oxygen but otherwise bad news for most life forms. Through neglect of our water systems ...

Blue-green algae has never been a food on my radar. But it turns out dried cyanobacteria both looks lovely and is packed with ...

By engineering photosynthetic cyanobacteria to live symbiotically inside yeast cells, the bacteria-yeast hybrids can produce important hydrocarbons, paving new biotechnical pathways to non ...

Details have not been fully disclosed, but the LRCA announced the launch of the Shoreline Protection: Cyanobacteria Education and Outreach project on social media. According to the post, the project ...

When cyanobacteria proliferate out of control, they can form clouds of green algae called cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms, or cyanoHABs. Some types of cyanobacteria produce toxins, and so ...

Even under the ice, cyanobacteria have been blooming in Partridge Lake. The water body located in Littleton and Lyman has suffered from frequent bouts of the photosynthetic bacteria, which feed ...

Before the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) around 2.4 billion years ago—when cyanobacteria helped drastically change the amount of oxygen in our oceans and atmosphere—Earth had very little oxygen.

2024 LITTLETON — One of the Department of Environmental Services’ lead scientists is cautioning that an expensive chemical treatment is not a cure for cyanobacteria in water bodies ...

BMAA is produced by cyanobacteria — also commonly referred to as blue-green algae — and can be found in freshwater, estuaries and marine waters in Florida and across the globe. A couple ...

Indeed, chloroplasts resemble modern cyanobacteria, which remain similar to the cyanobacteria of 3 million years ago. However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further, to the ...

It may be that oxygen in the atmosphere, thanks to emissions from photosynthesizing cyanobacteria and algae, were at levels needed to fuel the growth of more complex body structures and ways of ...

During cyanobacterial blooms, small-bodied zooplankton tend to dominate plankton communities, and past observational studies have attributed this pattern to anti-herbivore traits of cyanobacteria ...
