Colorimetric immuno-protein phosphatase inhibition assay for specific detection of microcystins and nodularins of cyanobacteria
Article Abstract:
An immunoassay for detecting microcystins and nodularins of cyanobacteria is described. These bacterial proteins are toxic to the human liver, and traditional methods for detecting them also detect other environmental protein phosphatase inhibitors.

Iron stress in open-ocean cyanobacteria (Synechococcus, Trichodesmium, and Crocosphaera spp.): identification of the IdiA protein
Article Abstract:
Cyanobacteria produce a protein called IdiA protein when the supply of iron in the ocean is limited. This protein appears to be an iron scavenger and could be used as a marker of iron stress in cyanobacteria communities.
