Driscoll, Connor B., Meyer, Kevin A., Gasiunas, Giedrius, Timinskas, Albertas, Yin, Yanbin, Landry, Zachary C., Otten, Timothy G., Davis, Timothy W., Watson, Susan B., Dreher, Theo W., Sulcius, Sigitas, Brown, Nathan M., Dick, Gregory J., and Cao, Huansheng

Abstract:

In order to better understand the relationships among current Nostocales cyanobacterial blooms, eight genomes were sequenced from cultured isolates or from environmental metagenomes of recent planktonic Nostocales blooms. Phylogenomic analysis of publicly available sequences placed the new genomes among a group of 15 genomes from four continents in a distinct...

Comparative Genomics of Freshwater Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria and Associated Organisms

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...
