“…90). Genotype compositions of natural populations have more widely been studied during Microcystis blooms (Briand et al, 2009;Bozarth et al, 2010;Xu et al, 2011;Zhu et al, 2012), and rarely studied in Dolichospermum blooms (Liu et al, 2014 regression analyses showed that the succession of the two dominant genotypes was significantly correlated with water temperature. These two dominant Dolichospermum genotypes displayed striking seasonal pattern and temperature-associated features, implying that these are major ecotypes during Dolichospermum blooms in Lake Taihu.…”
