Abstract excerpt
Microcystis is one of the most common bloom-forming cyanobacteria colonizing freshwater ecosystems worldwide. This genus remarkably produces numerous bio-active accessory metabolites, which are believed to be potentially involved in different ecological and/or physiological processes. However, their genuine contribution to the evolutionary success of Microcystis blooms remains undetermined. To better depict the...
