Dominance of cyanobacteria in phytoplankton communities creates undesirable situations in fresh, brackish, and salty waters worldwide. Dense cyanobacterial blooms may lead to serious health consequences for cat
Controlling the spread of cyanobacteria has become a pressing global challenge. Especially for lakes/reservoirs and larger ponds. Common methods to prevent algal blooms include aeration, chemical/biological additives, or ultrasonic technology. Although there are plenty of treatment solutions on the market,...
To avoid this, we’ll determine the most effective ultrasonic program for your unique situation, whether you need to control blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), phytoplankton, or diatoms. The program parameters will be specific to wave form, frequency, pause, and amplitude. The key to long-term ...
For example, in the case of the desert site of Mogao in China, preventive measures include closing the cave during periods of high external humidity to avoid the intrusion of humid air into the cave. This measure maintains stable relative humidity conditions (Agnew and Wong, 2014). In other ...
FishLab Fact:The“lower nitrates are better”rule is thrown out the window if you have a planted aquarium. Many plants use nitrates for food, and in this case, low nitrate levels can actually cause problems and can even lead to ablue-green algae(cyanobacteria) outbreak. ...
As it's turned out, over time organisms have been able to modify this planet, not only in the atmosphere itself, but also all the way down into the mantle. Cyanobacteria are the culprits involved here; these are the organisms that caused the demise of the original inhabitants of this plan...
other nutrients can lead to environmental problems such as eutrophication (algal blooms in lakes and ponds) and hypoxia (the depletion of oxygen in water due to excess algae growth). Cyanobacteria blooms associated with eutrophication can also produce toxic compounds harmful to livestock and human ...
Phytochromes B (PhyB) are chromoproteins naturally occurring in cyanobacteria and plants. PhyB binds to chromophore phycocyanobilin (PCB) as a cofactor that functions as a red-light sensor. Upon red-light exposure (∼660 nm), PCB induces a conformational change in PhyB leading to it...
Photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria have been shown to exhibit complex transcriptional remodeling with respect to diurnal variation of light availability [1-3]. However, the reported estimates of the number of oscillating transcripts differ strongly between studies and range between 9-80% of ...
1) is a priority, where the expression of PHA-enzymes should be sufficiently high to allow a rapid synthesis of the polymer, while being carefully balanced to avoid the formation of intermediate products or causing metabolic burden to the cell (Lee et al., 2012). A more optimal pathway can...
