Lake microbial community

Harmful algal blooms including those containing cyanobacteria are a worldwide issue on water ecosystems and human and livestock health, due to the production of potent hepatotoxin or neurotoxin, and other bioactive metabolites. An increasing of cyanobacterial bloom frequencies and lake eutrophication has been reported in recent decades across the globe. This project aimes to study the bacterial and cynobacterial composition and function in the algal bloom lake
