Mitomycin C eliminates cyanobacterial transcription without detectable lysogen induction in a Microcystis-dominated bloom in Lake Erie

Robbie M. Martin, Elizabeth R Denison, Helena L. Pound…·Steven W. Wilhelm

The paper tests lysogeny in Microcystis blooms using mitomycin C and finds it ineffective for inducing prophage, suggesting standard protocols are unsuitable for freshwater cyanobacterial studies.

Metatranscriptomics reveals declines in ice cover influence winter viral community activity

Elizabeth R Denison, Brittany N. Zepernick, Robert Michael L. McKay, Steven W. Wilhelm

The paper uses metatranscriptomics to show that declining ice cover in Lake Erie reduces viral community activity and richness in winter surface waters.

Declines in ice cover induce light limitation in freshwater diatoms

Brittany N. Zepernick, Emily E. Chase, Elizabeth R. Denison…·Steven W. Wilhelm

The paper investigates how declining ice cover in Lake Erie affects diatom blooms by analyzing physiochemical and metatranscriptomic data, finding light limitation and adaptive gene expression changes.
