Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “On the other hand, the growth of the wild-type and the mutant strain was similar, suggesting that MCs might play a role in the light harvesting processes (Hesse et al., 2001).”
Effects of nitrogenous compounds and phosphorus on the growth of toxic and non-toxic strains of Microcystis during cyanobacterial blooms (2010, background): “Beyond this N in the toxin, toxic Microcystis strains will have additional N requirements associated with the enzymes involved in the synthesis of microcystin (Tillett et al. 2000), as well as with additional light-harvesting pigments they may possess (Hesse et al. 2001).”
Cyanobacterial peptides - nature's own combinatorial biosynthesis. (2006, background): “…of peptides in an individual strain seems to be selectively stabilized, even in axenic cultures, whereas other strains that completely lack the corresponding biosynthetic genes or the respective mutants do not seem to exhibit any severe disadvantage (Hesse et al., 2001; Kaebernick et al., 2001).”
Simultaneous changes in cell quotas of microcystin, chlorophyll a, protein and carbohydrate during different growth phases of a batch culture experiment with Microcystis aeruginosa (2004, background): “(Hesse et al., 2001) that the PCC 7806 mutant cells possessed lower contents of chlorophyll a, b-carotene, zeaxanthin and echinenone under light limitation compared to the wild-type cells.”
