NCCOS-funded project will evaluate the effects of nitrogen on toxin production of Microcystis

Three culture flasks growing Microcystis aeruginosa under different conditions.A new NCCOS-funded project will evaluate the effects of nitrogen on toxin production of Microcystis (a freshwater cyanobacteria) to support algal toxin prediction in Lake Erie. This project is led by the University of Tennessee. https://coastalscience.noaa.gov/project/evaluating-the-effects-of-nitrogen-form-and-concentration-on-toxin-phenotypes-of-microcystis/
