Background: Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) is a type of blue-green algae and contains a source of biological compounds. These microalgae have many beneficial health effects. Recently, fucoidan, known sulfated polysaccharide component of AFA algae, has been claimed to stimulate stem-cell mobilization in animal models. Stem cells play an essential role in tissue repair process. In this study, we ...

anthropogenic eutrophication conditioned frequent and more pronounced blooms of toxicalgae and cyanobacteria in the fresh and saline aquatic ecosystems all world around. however, bloomingspecies could serve as a possible resource instead of a threat by exploiting them to remediate nutrients. theoptimised use of algae and cyanobacteria may provide the environmental service together with economic...

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic water bodies pose a major threat to the environment and human health. The morphological functional traits of cyanobacteria play important roles maintaining their competitive advantages. To explore regulatory mechanisms different bloom-forming cyanobacteria, we performed one-year-long phytoplankton survey from November 2016 October 2017 Lake Chaohu, Chi...

Abstract. Coastal lagoons are important sites for nitrogen (N) removal via sediment burial and denitrification. Blooms of heterocystous cyanobacteria may diminish N retention as dinitrogen (N2) fixation offsets atmospheric losses We measured N2 in the Curonian Lagoon, Europe's largest coastal lagoon, to better understand factors controlling context seasonal changes phytoplankton community compo...
