    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 ...

    The rise of potentially toxin producing cyanobacteria in Lake Naivasha, Great African Rift Valley, Kenya 

    Krienitz, L.; Dadheech, Pawan K.; Jutta, Fastner; Kotut, Kiplagat (Elsevier, 2013-07)
    Lake Naivasha, an important inland water ecosystem and a crucial freshwater resource in the Great African Rift Valley, has displayed clear signals of degradation in recent decades. We studied the phytoplankton composition ...

    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, ...

    Cyanobacteria and cyanobacterial toxins in the alkaline crater lakes Sonachi and Simbi, Kenya 

    Ballot, A.; Krienitz, L.; Kotut, Kiplagat; Wiegand, C.; Pflugmacher, S. (Elsevier, 2005-01)
    The phytoplankton communities and the production of cyanobacterial toxins were investigated in two alkaline Kenyan crater lakes, Lake Sonachi and Lake Simbi. Lake Sonachi was mainly dominated by the cyanobacterium Arthrospira ...

    Desertifilum fontinale sp. nov. (Oscillatoriales, Cyanobacteria) from a warm spring in East Africa, based on conventional and molecular studies 

    Dadheech, Pawan K.; Mahmoud, Huda; Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L. (2014)
    Desertifilum is a filamentous cyanobacterium of crusts and biofilms, recently described from the extreme hot and dry Thar Desert in north–western India. A new species was isolated from a warm spring near Lake Bogoria, Kenya ...

    Cyanobacterial diversity in the hot spring, pelagic and benthic habitats of a tropical soda lake 

    Dadheech, Pawan K.; Glockner, G.; Casper, P.; Kotut, Kiplagat; Mazzoni, C.J.; Mbedi, S.; Krienitz, L. (2013-08)
    Hot springs and saline-alkaline lakes of East Africa are extreme habitats regarding temperature, or salinity and pH, respectively. This study examines whether divergent habitats of Lake Bogoria, Kenya, impacts cyanobacterial ...

    Temporal changes in phytoplankton structure and composition at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir, Kenya 

    Kotut, Kiplagat; Krienitz, L.; Muthuri, Francis M. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1998)
    Temporal changes in phytoplankton chlorophyll a, composition, diversity, biomass (density and fresh weight) and primary production were investigated at the Turkwel Gorge Reservoir (Kenya) over a two year period (1994 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 ...

    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 ...
