Cyanobacterial Allelochemicals But Not Cyanobacterial Cells Markedly Reduce Microbial Community Diversity
The freshwater cyanobacterium Phormidium sp. LEGE 05292 produces allelochemicals, including the cyclic depsipeptides portoamides, that influence the growth of heterotrophic bacteria, cyanobacteria, and eukaryotic algae. Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon metagenomics, we show here that, under laboratory c...
