Comparative Genomics of Freshwater Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria and Associated Organisms

Creator:

Driscoll, Connor B.

Abstract:

The advent of improved DNA sequencing technologies has allowed the analysis of various microbial communities. Bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacteria can produce toxins and taste-and-odor compounds that can negatively affect drinking water supplies. Here, I have employed second- and third-generation sequencing technologies to characterize bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterial genomes and their associated heterotrophic...
