Heat-surviving cyanobacteria switch to respiration when photosynthesis falters, 48-hour test reveals
✦AI Summary
Researchers at the Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research institute discovered that certain cyanobacteria survive heat stress by switching to respiration when photosynthesis fails. This finding challenges previous assumptions about how these toxic algae blooms persist in warming environments.
Why it matters
Understanding the survival mechanisms of toxic cyanobacteria is crucial for managing water quality and ecosystem health as climate change intensifies.
