Microcystis aeruginosa hydrogen peroxide and L-lysine algaecide treatment transcriptome
The study exposed four Microcystis aeruginosa strains (NIES-843, NIES-102, NIES-4325, and NIES-4285) to hydrogen peroxide (33.3 mg/L) and L-lysine (8 mg/L) chemicals until cells reached photosynthesis efficiency values (measured in quantum yield) below 50% of the starting value. Controls of each strain and each treatment (n=8) were also grown for the same period and used for transcriptional comparisons with treated samples.
