Cyanobacteria are ecologically one of the most prolific groups of photosynthetic prokaryotes in marine and freshwater habitats. They are primary producer microorganisms and are involved in the production of important secondary metabolites, including toxic compounds such as cyanotoxins. Environmental conditions promote massive growth of these microbes, causing blooms that can have critical ecological and public health implications. In this highlight, we discuss some of the approaches being addressed to prevent these blooms, such as control of nutrient loading, treatments to minimize growth or monitoring interactions with other species.
蓝藻是海洋和淡水生境中最具生产力的光合原核生物生态类群之一。它们是初级生产者微生物，参与重要次生代谢物的产生，包括有毒化合物如蓝藻毒素。环境条件促进这些微生物的大量生长，导致水华的发生，从而对生态和公共健康产生重大影响。在这篇重点介绍中，我们讨论了一些正在解决的预防这些水华的方法，例如控制营养负荷、减少生长的处理方法或监测与其他物种的相互作用。
