2020
- , January 2020 — Persistence of microcystin production by Planktothrix agardhii (Cyanobacteria) exposed to different salinities. Recent reports predict increases in harmful cyanobacteria in water systems worldwide due to climatic and environmental changes,… Phycologia vol. 59, n° 1, p. 24-34 Publisher: Taylor & Francis _eprint: https://doi.org/10.1080/00318884.2019.1664875ISSN0031-8884
2019
- , September 2019 — Development of a new extraction method based on high-intensity ultra-sonication to study RNA regulation of the filamentous cyanobacteria Planktothrix. Efficient RNA extraction methods are needed to study transcript regulation. Such methods must lyse the cell without degrading… PLOS ONE vol. 14, n° 9, e0222029ISSN1932-6203
2015
- , November 2015 — Seasonal Dynamics of Phytoplankton and Microbiological Communities during Sporadic Fish Die-Offs in the Bir M’Cherga Reservoir (Tunisia). Proliferations of cyanobacteria are becoming increasingly widespread in many artificial reservoirs, and may have detrimental… Cryptogamie, Algologie vol. 36, n° 4, p. 407-427ISSN0181-1568
- , July 2015 — Cloning of some heat shock proteins genes for further transcriptional study of Planktothrix agardhii exposed to abiotic stress. Planktothrix agardhii is one of the freshwater cyanobacteria that can produce the hepatotoxin microcystins (MC)—a real threat… Folia Microbiologica vol. 60, n° 4, p. 317-323ISSN0015-5632, 1874-9356
