Phylogenomic diversity and chromatic acclimation in phycoerythrin-containing Microcystis aeruginosa
Microcystis aeruginosa is a bloom-forming cyanobacterium widely distributed in eutrophic freshwater systems. Most strains are blue–green due to the presence of the photosynthetic pigments phycocyanin ...

First time posting on Bluesky! 🥳 We discovered a new pilus family in cyanobacteria. The pilin has a novel protein fold that forms a super-tight double-layer tube. Similar gene clusters exist in a few cyanobacterial orders. A great collaboration with John and others! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A family of tubular pili from harmful algal bloom forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa - Nature Communications
Ricca et al discover a new family of tubular pili in Microcystis aeruginosa, a harmful algal bloom-forming cyanobacterium. These pili are crucial for buoyancy by forming cell micro-colonies, which inc...

The 2014 toxic Microcystis bloom cost the city of Toledo over $60mil to do extra water treatments, take care of people who got sick, and in list economic activities because the city was without water for over 3wks.
Harmful Algal Blooms can destroy crops, ruin tourist seasons, and cause major respiratory problems. Without NOAA, you're on your own.
