Plant scientist Dario Leister and his team are investigating how cyanobacteria adapt to rapidly changing light intensities.

Lab-driven evolution: LMU scientists exposed cyanobacteria to rapid light changes, producing strains that withstand conditions lethal to normal cells. Agricultural potential: Mutations found in these ...

Long before plants and algae, cyanobacteria were already performing photosynthesis—filling Earth's skies with oxygen and setting the stage for life as we know it. The ultra-prevalent bacteria are ...

New Hampshire has seen unprecedented numbers of cyanobacteria blooms in the past few years, fueled by increasingly hotter, wetter summers. A plan to address that growing threat was first established ...

On a lake, it can look like pea soup, a green mat or blue or green paint. It might also look purplish or pink. No matter the color, it’s cyanobacteria, and it's toxic. While typically a late summer ...
