Stand back, ordinary ocean-dwelling, oxygen-spewing organisms: There’s a new green, hulkish mutant in town. And hefty UTEX 3222 — dubbed “Chonkus” by the researchers who found it — may have just the ...

The past two years saw unprecedented numbers of cyanobacteria warnings in New Hampshire. And, so far, it seems like 2025 is set for another big bloom year. According to Amy Smagula, chief aquatic ...

In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry has invested in high-throughput screening systems, genomics and bioinformatic tools, rational design and combinatorial chemistry for the discovery of new ...

Cyanobacteria are a group of bacteria found throughout the world. They grow in any type of water (fresh, brackish, or marine) and are photosynthetic: They use sunlight to create food and survive.

New Hampshire has seen unprecedented numbers of cyanobacteria blooms in the past few years, fueled by increasingly hotter, wetter summers. A plan to address that growing threat was first established ...

Experts have long said that excess phosphorus entering the watershed is a main contributor to these blooms. Now, new research ...

Cyanobacteria season is in full swing in New England. And rising temperatures means those blooms have more of a chance to thrive during a longer cyanobacteria season. These blooms produce cyanotoxins ...
