Blooms of cyanobacteria have appeared on the Potomac River near Washington, DC in years of drought and low river volume. The location of the bloom may be related to tidal activity. In 1983, the bloom of Microcystis aeruginosa used ammonia as its nitrogen source and contained low levels of toxic peptides. Cells collected from this bloom proved to be homogeneous and were an excellent source material for the isolation of proteins involved in photosynthesis.
在干旱和低河水量的年份，华盛顿特区附近的波托马克河上出现了蓝藻水华。水华的位置可能与潮汐活动有关。1983 年，铜绿微囊藻的水华利用氨作为氮源，并且含有低水平的有毒肽。从该水华收集的细胞被证明是同质的，并且是分离光合作用相关蛋白的极好的源材料。
