Can I use the Chlorophyll stability index (CSI) to calculate the stress potential of cyanobacteria that are under stress?

I want to calculate the stress potential of cyanobacterial cells that are inoculated with antagonistic bacteria. My results showed that there is a drastic reduction in the chlorophyll content of...

How can I differentiate between cyanobacteria and microalgae in agar plates?

I'm trying to isolate cyanobacteria from fresh water and soil. I've plated several dilutions of my samples into BG11-agar plates and I have a mixture of green colonies/halos and brown stains which...

Can the rate of nitric acid production be calculated or estimated in a soil where organic nitrogen is in abundance?

Diazotrophs 'fix' atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available forms. In very general, non-technical terms, an over-abundance of these organic nitrogen forms within a soil beyond what biota in...

If an animal feeds mainly on algae but also eats cyanobacteria and insects, which group does this animal belong to; herbivore or omnivore?

I wonder if a fish (Random sp.) feeds mostly on plankton but also consumes cyanobacteria and some insects (Chironomidae, Simuliidae) at much lower rates, can we classify them as omnivore?
