title: Ecological development and genetic diversity of Microcystis aeruginosa from artificial reservoir in Russia.
abstract: Microcystis aeruginosa is a well-known Cyanobacterium responsible for the formation of toxic water blooms around the world. Shallow, warm, and eutrophic reservoirs provide the most favourable conditions for M. aeruginosa development. Numerous studies have been devoted to this species, but there still is a necessity to develop additional approaches for the monitoring of cyanobacteria in reservoirs. In this study, M. aeruginosa in the water column of a hypereutrophic Siberian reservoir was investigated by fluorescence, light, and electron microscopy as well as genetic analysis using a mcyE marker. Here, we demonstrate the genetic diversity and features of the fluorescence spectra for different ecotypes of this species. We suggest that a fluorescence approach can be used to identify M. aeruginosa in a natural environment in order to increase the effectiveness of ecological monitoring and water quality evaluation.
