Temperature Effects Explain Continental Scale Distribution of Cyanobacterial Toxins (2018, background): “The long history of cyanobacterial adaptation to a wide range of environmental conditions including extremes [10] supports their successful occurrence in a variety of lake ecosystems.”
Species concepts and speciation factors in cyanobacteria, with connection to the problems of diversity and classification (2015, background): “On the basis of fossil records, Schopf (2000) estimated that cyanobacteria may have evolved 3.5 BYA, making them the oldest oxygen producing photosynthetic microbes, and signiﬁcant contributors to the sudden increase in atmospheric oxygen during the Great Oxidation Event (Bekker et al. 2004; Kauff…”
Climate change: links to global expansion of harmful cyanobacteria. (2012, background): “Cyanobacterial proliferation during the Precambrian period is largely responsible for the modern-day, oxygen-enriched atmosphere, and subsequent evolution of higher plant and animal life (Schopf, 2000; Whitton and Potts, 2000).”
Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “Prokaryotic blue-green algae, or Cyanobacteria, are the oldest group with fossils dating back over three billion years (Schopf 2000).”
Climate change: a catalyst for global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms. (2009, background): “Cyanobacteria are the Earth’s oldest known oxygenproducing organisms, with fossil remains dating back ~3.5 billion years (Schopf, 2000).”
Cyanobacteria in Cold Ecosystems (2008, background): “Cyanobacteria are Gram-negative oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria that, according to the fossil record, achieved most of their present morphological diversity by two billion years ago (Schopf 2000).”
Sustainability and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae): facts and challenges (2011, background): “In the early atmosphere the bulk of oxygen came from oxygenic photosynthesis by cyanobacteria (Schopf 2000).”
Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms: Causes, Consequences, and Controls (2013, unknown): “[129].”
