Spatial heterogeneity of cyanobacterial communities and genetic variation of microcystis populations within large, shallow eutrophic lakes (Lake Taihu and Lake Chaohu, China).

Abstract excerpt

Cyanobacteria, specifically Microcystis, usually form massive blooms in eutrophic freshwater lakes. Cyanobacterial samples were collected from eight sites of both Lake Taihu and Lake Chaohu in late summer to determine the diversity and distribution pattern of cyanobacteria and Microcystis in large, shallow, entropic lakes with significant spatial heterogeneity and long-term Microcystis bloom. Molecular methods...
