Turbulence exerts nutrients uptake and assimilation of bloom-forming Dolichospermum through modulating morphological traits: Field and chemostat culture studies

Hydrodynamic conditions are closely related to the development and dissipation of cyanobacterial blooms. The morphological features of Dolichospermum under different hydrodynamic conditions were analysed during three blooms in Gaoyang Lake, which is part of the backwater area of the China Three Gorges Reservoir, from 2007 to 2010. The results showed that the length of filaments and the morphology of cells were different in relation to the...
