Interactions between nitrogen form, loading rate, and light intensity on Microcystis and Planktothrix growth and microcystin production
{{output}}
The toxin-producing, bloom-forming cyanobacterial genera Microcystis and Planktothrix require fixed nitrogen (N), such as nitrate, ammonium, or organic N (e.g., urea) for growth and production of microcystins (MC). Bioavailable N can enter lakes in pulses via ... ...
