• Univariate Step-trend and Multivariate Assessments of the Apparent Effects of P Loading Reductions and Zebra Mussels on the Phytoplankton of the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario (2002, background): “This has significant implications for water use and aesthetics because Microcystis is well known as a “bloomer” ( Jacoby et al. 2000 ), creating unsightly “scums” on the water surface during calm conditions.”
• Nutrient enrichment and selective predation by zooplankton promote Microcystis (Cyanobacteria) bloom formation (2010, background): “Blooms most frequently occur during warm seasons, i.e. summer–fall, and ambient temperature plays a key regulatory role (Moss, 1996; Jacoby et al., 2000; Jöhnk et al., 2008; Paerl and Huisman, 2008), and in shallow lakes and ponds, blooms may occur for even longer periods.”
• Dynamics and metabolic activity of the benthic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa in the Grangent reservoir (France) (2004, background): “Indeed, some cyanobacteria are able to synthesize toxins (Harada et al., 1990; Feuillade, 1992; Carmichael, 1994; Sinoven and Jones, 1999; Jacoby et al., 2000), representing a danger to human and animal health (Duy et al., 2000; Falconer, 2001; Briand et al., 2003).”
• Empirical study of cyanobacterial toxicity along a trophic gradient of lakes (2005, background): “What role do toxins perform for their producers? Are there special conditions that favour or control toxin production? It is possible that the toxicity of the community depends on the same environmental factors that favour cyanobacterial dominance (Jacoby et al. 2000; Kotak et al. 2000).”
• Morphological and physiological changes in Microcystis aeruginosa as a result of interactions with heterotrophic bacteria (2011, background): “The typical development and decline of Microcystis blooms includes aggregation of cells, formation of colonies and disaggregation of colonies and has been studied extensively (Worm & Søndergaard, 1998; Jacoby et al., 2000; Wilson, Wilson & Hay, 2006; Yoshida et al., 2007).”
• The influence of environmental conditions on the seasonal variation of Microcystis cell density and microcystins concentration in San Francisco Estuary (2008, background): “Nutrient ratios are generally important for cyanobacterial bloom formation (Paerl et al., 2001) with Microcystis blooms occurring at an N:P ratio \15 ( Jacoby et al. 2000 ).”
