Invited Review - Fight on Plankton! or, Phytoplankton Shape and Size as Adaptive Tools to Get Ahead in the Struggle for Life (2011, background): “Some studies on cyanobacteria reported that colony formation in the Microcystis aeruginosa could be induced by cladocerans (Jang et al., 2003; Ha et al., 2004) or flagellates (Burkert et al., 2001).”
Morphological and physiological changes in Microcystis aeruginosa as a result of interactions with heterotrophic bacteria (2011, background): “Formation of colonies or aggregates could be induced by flagellate grazing (Burkert et al., 2001; Yang et al., 2008) and by extracellular microcystins (Sedmak & Eleršek, 2005).”
Morphological Response of Microcystis aeruginosa to Grazing by Different Sorts of Zooplankton (2006, background): “Interestingly, Burkert et al. (2001) also observed colony formation in M. aeruginosa occasionally when they used dialysis tubing to investigate the interactions between M. aeruginosa and the potential grazer Ochromonas sp., although no data explicitly showed the extent of colony formation.”
