Paradox of the plankton: Why is Proterozoic export production formation dominated by cyanobacteria?Butterfield, N J
“Each lake is unique, and we walk a fine line between too much sediment and too little. Sediment is critical to keep a lake thriving, delivering things like nitrogen and phosphorus. We did a study in New York that found that more than 50% of phosphorus that comes into a lake comes th...
Cyanobacteria ID'd as risk for ALS found in dust near Great Salt Lake Samples were collected from exposed lake beds around parts of Great Salt Lake and an analysis detected neurotoxins produced by cyanobacteria. doug-frazier Member November 27, 2023 at 12:26 pm ...
cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates, although many other groups of algae are represented. One group, the coccolithophorids, is responsible (in part) for the release of significant amounts of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) into the atmosphere.
looking at it. Just because there is a cyanobacteria bloom doesn’t mean that cyanotoxins are present or being released into the water and, at the other end of the spectrum, cyanotoxins can be present when there is no bloom. It is also easy to mistake growths of green algae for HABs...
If you have an outdoor pond with blue-green algae, your cat can get poisoned from the cyanobacteria present in it. Signs of algae toxicity include vomiting, diarrhea, disorientation, trouble breathing, liver failure, seizures, and death. ...
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...
cyanobacteria thus did extremely well, spread everywhere including places with no other source of energy, and proceeded tooxygenate the atmosphereat a massive scale. At first, however, preexisting reduced molecules present in the oceans would have quickly reacted with the released oxygen and thus ...
There is no show stopper to biospheres around M stars that I know of. –We know that archaeabacteria can extract energy from far IR, and that cyanobacteria can do bona fide photosynthesis in near IR of M stars (by last years find of chlorophyll f). ...
The US company LanzaTech already uses bacteria to convert CO2 into commercial fuels and chemicals. The UK-based CyanoCapture, backed by Shell and Elon Musk, is harnessing cyanobacteria to produce biomass and biological oils. Numerous companies are working on using algae to produce biofuels, although...
