The majority of bacterial antagonists identified to date are active against Microcystis. Therefore, this study aimed isolate and characterize novel cyanolytic strains antagonistic bloom-forming filamentous cyanobacteria. strain BG-E isolated from the Bandagiriya Wewa in Sri Lanka was as Pseudomonas fluorescens (MZ007859) based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing. showed 82% 73% activity (CA) Pseudanabaena sp. LW2 (MW288948) lonchoides LW1 (MW288940), respectively, after 10 days inoculation. light...
Belihuloya situated in a biogeographical transition zone south-central Sri Lanka is being threatened by land-use changes. Establishing baseline biodiversity knowledge of an indicator taxon within this lesser explored area, the present study systematically assessed its Odonate fauna different habitat types through transect survey supplemented with incidental observations. Further, morphology larvae and exuvia some Odonates were opportunistically documented from selected water bodies. Transect...
Abstract The proliferation of harmful cyanobacterial blooms poses a threat to the ecosystem and human health. Microcystins (MCs) are most frequently detected cyanotoxin released by cyanobacteria, including Microcystis sp. Our study aimed isolate potential MC‐degrading bacteria in Sri Lankan freshwater determine their possible MC‐degradation pathways. Twenty‐two morphologically distinct bacterial strains from 13 bodies were isolated following enrichment assay. MC‐biodegradation assays further...
Microcystins (MCs) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN) are the most abundant toxins produced by cyanobacteria in tropical freshwaters. We studied spatial distribution of MC CYN two multipurpose reservoirs, Mahakanadarawa Nachchaduwa Anuradhapura district Sri Lanka September 2020. Fourteen water quality parameters, phytoplankton composition, chlorophyll-a, concentrations were analyzed triplicate 25 sampling sites from each reservoir. Both reservoirs at hypereutrophic status. Microcystis was dominant...
