Ultrasonic selectivity on depressing photosynthesis of cyanobacteria and green algae probed by chlorophyll-a fluorescence transient
Ultrasound can inhibit cyanobacterial growth through rupturing cells, but this pathway frequently has the risk to release intercellular toxin (e.g., microcystin). Depressing photosynthesis without cell disruption may provide a new strategy to control cyanobacterial blooms using ultrasound, especially Microcystis blooms. In this work, Microcystis aeruginosa (toxic cyanobacteria) and Chlorella ...

A robust bioassay to assess the toxicity of metals to the antarctic marine microalga Phaeocystis antarctica
Despite evidence of contamination in Antarctic coastal marine environments, no water‐quality guidelines have been established for the region because of a paucity of biological effects data for ...

Algae Fluorescence Sensor
Blue-green algae is not algae, it is bacteria called cyanobacteria (phycobiliproteins). It is called algae because it is, like algae, photosynthetic. In fact, blue-green algae is responsible for over 20% of the earth’s total photosynthesis. And, like algae, cyanobacteria can be found as individual cells in filamentous colonies. Cyanobacteria have been found to be a numerically abundant ...
