Abstract

This folder contains accompanying data for the project: Understanding Harmful Algal Blooms-Temporal and Spatial Characterization of Microbial Communities from Lake Okeechobee

This collaborative project (W912HZ-19-2-0014) has had an overarching objective to understand bloom drivers and life cycle patterns by integrating diverse scientific methods which would characterize the microbial and chemical environments prior to onset of a bloom(s), and throughout its successional stages. The proposed research has successfully: (1) assessed biodiversity and phylogeny of cultured and unculturable cyanobacteria and associated microorganisms in Lake Okeechobee (Lake O) (i.e. cyanobacteria-microbiota) in various phases of bloom events centered in the Lake O watershed, (2) investigated the genetic basis and functional roles of cyanobacteria-microbiota diversity along a spatiotemporal gradient and via experimental mesocosms, and (3) investigated environmental and anthropogenic effects on cyanobacteria-microbiota diversity.
