In Some Water Bodies of #Bavaria, a Ban on Bathing Has Been Introduced Due to the #Multiplication of #Cyanobacteria

Due to anomalous heat, an official ban on bathing has been introduced on a number of lakes in Bavaria. A mass multiplication of toxic cyanobacteria has been recorded on #Altmühlsee, #Ebertshausener See, and #Ebenhausener Weiher. to do?

Working out how photosynthesis evolved.

"The most recently identified Gloeobacteria species, Anthocerotibacter panamensis, harvests light using a different set of proteins than modern cyanobacteria — but converts sunlight into chemical energy within protein complexes that vary only slightly from those in other Gloeobacteria. These traits add new color to the long, strange evolutionary story of photosynthesis."

Surprising Green Ice on Lake #Lipno: #Cyanobacteria Bloom in Mid-Winter https://www.bc.cas.cz/en/news/news-detail/7816-surprising-green-ice-on-lake-lipno-cyanobacteria-bloom-in-mid-winter/

"An unusual natural phenomenon appeared on Lake Lipno in #SouthBohemia, #Czechia, at the end of 2025. Large amounts of cyanobacteria in the water caused the ice to turn green... After refreezing, a particularly distinctive feature was the formation of so-called cyanobacterial eyes - areas of clear ice above dark cyanobacterial aggregates caused by differences in the absorption of solar radiation."
