This well-annotated genome provides a platform for future studies on the ecology and biology of these important bloom-forming cyanobacteria.
All of a sudden they think: 'I am the model for this little one.' The teenagers become suddenly important and bloom because they are given a chance to expand themselves, and not to be just criticised by society".
These data identify the involvement of caspase-like activity in both aging and cell death in K. brevis and identify novel executioner enzymes and downstream targets that may be important for bloom termination.
San Remo has the most important flower market in Italy and exports blooms to continental Europe.
Here, we report the complete genome of Anabaena sp. 90, an ecologically important hepatotoxic bloom-forming cyanobacterium.
Wind speed, used as a proxy for light attenuation in the shallow water, was similarly important in determining bloom development in the shallow water.
Their role in global carbon cycling is predicted to be comparable to that of all terrestrial rain forests combined [2], [3], and they therefore represent an ecologically important group of bloom-forming phytoplankton.
For the sector to really bloom, one important hurdle must be overcome, says Michael Goodman, a Yankee Group analyst.
We found that grazing by shallow water bivalves was important in determining phytoplankton bloom occurrence throughout the system and that above a shallow water bivalve grazing threshold, phytoplankton biomass did not exceed bloom levels.
Microbes are believed to metabolize iron compounds with the help of sunlight, and iron plays an important role in algal bloom formation.
Melting sea ice rich in algae may also be important for seeding phytoplankton blooms in the previously ice-covered ocean.
