Distribution and abundance of nontoxic mutants of cyanobacteria in lakes of the Alps.

Microbial ecology - 1 Aug 2009

Ostermaier Veronika, Kurmayer Rainer

Abstract excerpt

The filamentous cyanobacterium Planktothrix rubescens frequently occurs in deep and stratified lakes in the temperate region of the northern hemisphere and is a known producer of the hepatotoxic secondary metabolite microcystin. These cyclic heptapeptides are synthesized nonribosomally via large enzyme complexes encoded by the microcystin (mcy) synthetase gene cluster. The occurrence of cyanobacterial strains...
