Abstract excerpt
Toxic blooms of the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa affect humans and animals in inland water systems worldwide, and it has been hypothesized that the development of these blooms will increase under the future scenario of global change, considering eutrophication and temperature increase as two important consequences. The importance of genetic adaptation, chance and history on evolution of growth rate, and...
