Cyanobacteria Suspected At The Lac de Pareloup - Aveyron

The Lac de Pareloup, located in the Aveyron region of France, is the fifth largest hydroelectric reservoir in the country in terms of area. The impounding of water from an EDF dam represents a pivotal element of the hydrological cycle. The presence of algae and suspected cyanobacteria was identified recently in the area. The spell of very hot weather is undoubtedly the cause of this phenomenon, which is occurring for the first time on this site. This beach constitutes a significant component of the local tourism industry in Arvieu, France, on August 8, 2025. Photo by Mario Fourmy/ABACAPRESS.COM

(240616) -- ZHONGWEI, June 16, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- The cyanobacteria soil crust is seen at Shapotou Desert Research and Experiment Station (SDRES) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, May 31, 2024. In the 1950s, to protect China's first railway that runs through a desert, the city of Zhongwei embarked on a journey of desert mitigation. Scientists at the Shapotou Desert Research and Experiment Station, part of the Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with local residents, developed straw checkerboards to stabilize the sand and prevent dunes from shifting. Tang Ximing, a senior engineer at a state-owned forestry farm in Zhongwei, crafted a steel tool that differs from regular shovels by featuring two horizontal bars at the front tip. This innovative tool enables the planting of seedling roots 50 centimeters deep into the moist sand layer. This simple tool increases the survival

Chinese scientists mull building "cell factory" of blue-green algae

STORY: Chinese scientists mull building "cell factory" of blue-green algae SHOOTING TIME: Jan. 12, 2024 DATELINE: Feb. 1, 2024 LENGTH: 00:01:26 LOCATION: SHANGHAI, China CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: 1. various of Chinese scientists doing research in the lab 2. SOUNDBITE 1 (Chinese): NI JUN, Researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University 3. various of Chinese scientists doing research in the lab 4. SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): NI JUN, Researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University STORYLINE: Chinese scientists are considering building a biological "cell factory" of blue-green algae, in which air is the main raw material and the product is a range of organic compounds. These cells of blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, a kind of single-cell microorganism, have been modified using synthetic biotechnologies like gene editing. Featuring high reproduction speed and excellent efficiency of photosynthesis, they "eat" air and can produce organic compounds like glucose, sucrose, glycerol, resveratrol, and curcumin
