Abstract: Microcystis colonies can overwinter in sediment and may inoculate the water column through recruitment, promoting the annual recurrence of Microcystis blooms. Through microcosm experiments, the survivability of benthic Microcystis was quantitatively investigated by elucidating the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10811-019-01937-z
Abstract: Extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) can be distinguished into soluble or bound types and significantly contributes to colony formation in Microcystis. Depending on the binding strength with cells, the bilayer structure of bound EPS contains loosely or… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.781500
Abstract: The toxic cyanobacterium, Microcystis, is a pervasive cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (CHAB) - forming genus that naturally occurs in colonies that harbor diverse microbiomes of heterotrophic bacteria. While the effects of nutrient loading and climatic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms20205047
Abstract: Cells of Microcystis are associated with heterotrophic bacteria and organized in colonies in natural environment, which are basic elements in the mass occurrence of cyanobacterial species. Analyzing these colonies by using metagenomics is helpful to… read more here.
