Formation of large colonies: a defense mechanism of Microcystis aeruginosa under continuous grazing pressure by flagellate Ochromonas sp. (2012, background): “Although colony formation was found occasionally in some previous studies when unicellular M. aeruginosa was co-cultivated with cladocerans(Jang et al. 2003; van Gremberghe et al. 2009), the ability of cladocerans to induce colony formation in M. aeruginosa is uncertain (Fulton, and Paerl 1987;…”
Induced defences in marine and freshwater phytoplankton: a review (2011, background): “Jang et al. (2003, 2007) demonstrated that several strains of the freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa increased their toxin production in response to direct and indirect exposure to large herbivorous zooplankton.”
Impact of fish introduction on planktonic food webs in lakes of the Patagonian Plateau (2006, background): “In addition, chemical, structural, and nutritional defenses of cyanobacteria can act as a feedback that favors their dominance (Christoffersen, 1996; Sukenik et al., 2002; Jang et al., 2003).”
Morphological Response of Microcystis aeruginosa to Grazing by Different Sorts of Zooplankton (2006, result): “aeruginosa could induced by cladocerans (Jang et al., 2003; Ha et al., 2004).”
Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “Colony formation, lower long-chain saturated fatty acids production, and increased toxicity have been reported in Microcystis cultures exposed to grazers (Jang et al., 2003; Müller-Navarra et al., 2000; Watson, 2003; Yang & Kong, 2012; Yang et al., 2006).”
Population Dynamics of Harmful Cyanobacteria (2005, background): “Jang et al. (2003) studied the production of microcystin by several strains of Microcystis exposed to three species of cladocerans.”
Understanding cyanobacteria‐zooplankton interactions in a more eutrophic world (2014, background): “The premise of this interaction is an evolutionary arms race, in which the zooplankton adapts for higher tolerance (Hairston et al., 2001) while cyanobacteria develop grazing defences (toxicity, bad taste cues and morphology; Jang et al., 2003; Jang, Jung & Takamura, 2007).”
Changes in microcystin production in cyanobacteria exposed to zooplankton at different population densities and infochemical concentrations (2007, background): “In a previous study, we found that potentially toxic cyanobacteria increase their toxin production in response to the presence of zooplankton, as an induced defense mediated by the release of infochemicals from the zooplankton (Jang et al. 2003).”
