We have used serial filtration to isolate picocyanobacteria from brackish and marine microhabitats for analysis. We used 16s metabarcoding to confirm the picocyanobacteria as members of the Order Synechococcales, Genu...
This work was supported by the Ohio Department of Higher Education Harmful Algal Bloom Research Initiative(No.60075961).Funding was solely for support of conducting the research.The authorswould like to thank Jessica Glowczewski fromCity of Akron and Amy Elliot fromCity of Alliance for providing water treatment details and permission for source water collection as well as Dr.Xiaozhen Mou and Madison Summers from Kent State University for assistance in conducting the toxin measurements.
Cyanobacteria can produce cyanotoxins such as microcystin-LR(MC),saxitoxin(STX),and anatoxin-a(ANTX-a)which are harmful to humans and other animals.Individual removal efficiencies of STX and ANTX-a by powdered activat...
We have verified the use of a serial filtration method to isolate picocyanobacteria for analysis. We used eDNA metabarcoding to confirm the picocyanobacteria as members of the Order Synechococcales, Genus Cyanobium, s...
The toxicity of an anatoxin-a(s) producer strain of Anabaena spiroides (ITEP-024) was estimated through sub-chronic bioassays with two clones of Daphnia similis (Labtox and Itajubá), both with intact cells and aqueou...
