Cornell Finds Harmful Blooms Suppress Competing Algae

Cornell University in Ithaca reported that harmful algal blooms have returned to U.S. lakes and coastal areas, including New York’s Finger Lakes. These blooms disrupt recreational activities and pose health risks to people, animals, and ecosystems.

Researchers at Cornell University have discovered that toxic blooms release chemicals that suppress the growth of competing algae by depriving them of an essential vitamin. The finding is expected to help inform future prevention and control efforts for harmful algal blooms.
