Microcystis aeruginosa is a major harmful cyanobacterium causing water bloom worldwide. Cyanophage has been proposed as a promising tool for cyanobacterial bloom. In this study, M. aeruginosa FACHB-1326 was used as an indicator host to isolate cyanophage from Lake Taihu. The isolated Microcystis cyanophage Mae-Yong1326-1 has an elliptical head of a...

Frequent M. aeruginosa outbreaks pose a major risk to public health and have a detrimental effect on aquatic ecosystems. Researchers are looking into ways to stop and control M. aeruginosa blooms, a problem that affects both the aquatic environment and human health significantly. It is important to develop proper monitoring methods to identify M. aeruginosa blooms. However, the existing control and monitoring techniques have some drawbacks that limit the field's applicability. Therefore, we must improve current methods for effectively monitoring and controlling M. aeru-ginosa blooms. Mitigation strategies should be customized for particular bodies of water utilizing techniques that are fast, economical, and field-applicable. This review critically identifies and evaluates green technologies, especially those focused on the presence of M. aeruginosa in freshwater, and compares and discusses problems with these green technologies. Furthermore, they were characterized and ranked according to their cost, effectiveness, and field applicability. A few suggestions for improvements were provided, along with ideas for future research projects that would take anticipated environmental changes into account.
The bloom-forming toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa interacts with diverse broad- and narrow-host-range viruses. However, the dynamics of the Microcystis population (at the intraspecies level) and viruses with different host ranges remain unknown.
