Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, on the surface of a lake. Bacteria were the first organisms to photosynthesize, creating the oxygen essential for the evolution of life on Earth. Philipp Schulze / ...

Scientists have decoded the atomic structure of Photosystem I from a 3-billion-year-old cyanobacteria lineage, offering a unique look at early oxygen-producing photosynthesis. The ancient nanodevice, ...

A breakthrough study changes the way we understand cyanobacteria, which are essential for the sustenance of life. The study shows that these organisms do not operate in isolation, but rather ...

Health officials in Massachusetts are spreading the word about harmful blooms of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, in lakes and ponds around the state. In Plymouth, the public health ...

The past two years saw unprecedented numbers of cyanobacteria warnings in New Hampshire. And, so far, it seems like 2025 is set for another big bloom year. According to Amy Smagula, chief aquatic ...

WINDSOR, Conn. (WTNH) — Rainbow Reservoir on the Farmington River in Windsor is experiencing an active Cyanobacteria bloom, according to the Farmington River Watershed Association. Mosquitoes carrying ...

Cyanobacteria season is in full swing in New Hampshire. And rising temperatures means those blooms have more of a chance to thrive during a longer cyanobacteria season. Read more about how climate ...

The Association to Preserve Cape Cod along with volunteers, pond associations, towns and the state monitors over 100 freshwater ponds for concentrations of cyanobacteria (blue green algae) and toxins ...

Ancient tiny fossils from Australia may carry evidence of great power: the ability to make oxygen through photosynthesis. The fossilized bacteria, dating from 1.73 billion to 1.78 billion years ago, ...

The effects of reducing nutrient inputs to lakes and reservoirs are often delayed by hysteresis resulting from internal phosphorus (P) loading from sediments. Consequently, controlling harmful algal ...
