Predicting cyanobacteria bloom occurrence in lakes and reservoirs before blooms occur

Culture-independent and culture-dependent analyses of the bacterial community in the phycosphere of cyanobloom-forming Microcystis aeruginosa

“…The dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the DC sample was low (2.0 ± 0.22 mg/L); similarly, the other samples also presented with low DO levels (<1 mg/L). It was difficult to judge the correlation between the chlorophyll- a (chl- a ) concentration and organic contents because the chemical oxygen demand (COD) values of our environmental samples were slightly lower (9.6–9.82 mg/L) than the previously reported the COD values (10.5–17.5 mg/L) of bloom-containing water samples 31 . The concentration of total nitrogen (TN) in the HC sample was 13.84 mg/L, and this level was significantly higher than those in the other sites.…”

“…One of the most important cyanotoxins produced with a widespread distribution is microcystin (MC) that is a class of biologically active cyclic heptapeptide compounds, with over 100 known variants, and in most studies related to water treatment, is considered as an indicator (3). Toxins produced by cyanobacteria include hepatotoxins, neurotoxins, cytotoxins, dermatotoxins, and gastrointestinal toxins that threaten the human public health and the environment (4,5). MCs are the most well-known family of cyanotoxin that are found in rivers and lakes and water reservoirs (6).…”

“…Bu nedenle alg patlamalarının daha ortaya çıkmadan önlenmesi bir gereklilik haline gelmiştir. Günümüzde bu amaçla kullanılan metotlar yetersiz kaldığı için alg patlamalarının risklerini ve sonuçlarını öngörmek mümkün olmamaktadır [60]. Sanayi [25, 40 ve 58].…”
