    Contribution of tixic cynobacteria to massive deaths of lesser flamingoes at saline-alkaline lakes of Kenya 

    Krienitz, L.; Ballot, A.; Casper, P.; Codd, G.A.; Kotut, Kiplagat; Metcalf, J.S.; Morrison, L.F.; Pflugmacher, S.; Wiegand, C. (2003)

    Does the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis exist in the soda lakes of East Africa? 

    Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L. (Springer, 2011)
    Presently, the food chains of the famous saline alkaline flamingo-lakes of East Africa are the focus of intense scientific discussion as the lakes host toxic cyanobacteria, which when consumed by Lesser Flamingos, ...

    Analysis of the cyanotoxins anatoxin-a and microcystins in Lesser Flamingo feathers. 

    Metcalf, J.S.; Morrison, L.F.; Krienitz, L.; Ballot, A.; Krause, E.; Kotut, Kiplagat; Pütz, S.; Wiegand, C.; Pflugmacher, S.; Codd, G.A. (Taylor & Francis, 2006)
    Feathers from carcasses of the Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor), which had died after ingesting cyanobacterial toxins (cyanotoxins) contained between 0.02 and 30.0 µg microcystin-LR equivalents per gram of feather ...

    Mass developments of a small sized ecotype of Arthrospira fusiformis in Lake Oloidien, Kenya, a new feeding ground for Lesser Flamingos in East Africa 

    Krienitz, L.; Dadheech, Pawan K.; Kotut, Kiplagat (2013)
    The Lesser Flamingos constantly commute between the soda lakes of East Africa in search of food. Their preferred food, the cyanobacterium Arthrospira fusiformis, usually establishes dense populations in saline–alkaline ...

    Haloleptolyngbya alcalis gen. et sp. nov., a new filamentous cyanobacterium from the soda lake Nakuru, Kenya 

    Dadheech, Pawan K.; Mahmoud, Huda; Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L. (Springer, 2012)
    The food web of the saline-alkaline Lake Nakuru is dominated by the cyanobacterium Arthrospira fusiformis as the primary producer and a huge population of Lesser Flamingos as direct consumers. However, the dense blooms ...

    Contribution of hot spring cyanobacteria to the mysterious deaths of Lesser Flamingos at Lake Bogoria, Kenya 

    Krienitz, L.; Ballot, A.; Kotut, Kiplagat; Wiegand, C.; Pütz, S.; Metcalf, J.S.; Codd, G.A.; Pflugmacher, S. (Elsevier, 2003-03-01)
    Cyanobacterial mats at hot springs on the shore of the alkaline Lake Bogoria, Kenya, were investigated regarding species community and cyanobacterial toxin content. The hepatotoxins microcystin-LR, -RR, -LF and -YR, and ...

    Mass developments of the cyanobacteria Anabaenopsis and Cyanospira (Nostocales) in the soda lakes of Kenya: ecological and systematic implications 

    Krienitz, L.; Dadheech, Pawan K.; Kotut, Kiplagat (2013)
    The food web of the saline–alkaline lakes of East Africa is characterised by a unique interaction between the Lesser Flamingos as consumer birds and the cyanobacterium Arthrospira fusiformis as the primary producer. ...

    Amino acid neurotoxins in feathers of the Lesser Flamingo, Phoeniconaias minor 

    Metcalf, J.S.; Banack, S.A.; Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L.; Codd, G.A. (Elsevier, 2013-01)
    The Lesser Flamingo (Phoeniconaias minor) is known to use cyanobacteria (primarily Arthrospira) as a major food source in the East African Rift Valley lakes. Periodically, mass mortalities have occurred, associated with ...

    Hidden diversity of eukaryotic plankton in the soda lake Nakuru, Kenya, during a phase of low salinity revealed by a SSU rRNA gene clone library 

    Luo, Wei; Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L. (Springer, 2013)
    A SSU rRNA gene clone library was constructed to establish the diversity of eukaryotic plankton in the African soda lake Nakuru during a phase of low salinity (9.7 ppt = hyposaline). Normally, the lake is mesosaline ...
    Thumbnail

    Fluctuating algal food populations and the occurrence of lesser flamingos (Phoeniconaias minor) in three Kenyan rift valley lakes 

    Krienitz, L.; Kotut, Kiplagat (2010-06)
    The last two decades have witnessed increasing episodes of lesser flamingo die-offs in East Africa. Based on data on phytoplankton composition, biomass, and flamingo population density in three alkaline-saline lakes ...
