SUMMARY:Great Lakes Seminar Series: Jenan Kharbush
DESCRIPTION:“Nitrogen availability” refers to the amounts of biologically usable nitrogen forms relative to demand by the biological community. In cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) dominated by the non-diazotrophic cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa\, nitrogen availability is critical for the production of the nitrogen-rich toxin microcystin\, and may also play a role in shaping M. aeruginosa strain composition and relative abundance of toxic and non-toxic strains. During the annual CyanoHAB in Western Lake Erie\, both the dominant form of nitrogen (organic vs. inorganic) and… (see more on our website) \nEvent website: https://ciglr.seas.umich.edu/event/11062025-jenan-kharbush/\nContact: Margaret Throckmorton\, throckmj@umich.edu
