Transcriptomic responses of Microcystis aeruginosa under electromagnetic radiation exposure

Abstract Electromagnetic radiation is an important environmental factor. It has a potential threat to public health and ecological environment. However, the mechanism by which electromagnetic radiation exerts these biological effects remains unclear. In this study, the effect of Microcystis aerugino...
