5 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The colonial cyanobacterium Microcystis proliferates in a wide range of freshwater ecosystems and is exposed to changing environmental factors during its life cycle. Microcystis blooms are often toxic, potentially fatal to animals and humans, and may cause environmental problems. There has been little investigation of the genomics of these cyanobacteria. RESULTS: Deciphering the 5,172,804 bp sequence...
