Western blot detection of Rbp1 in Microcystis cells collected from Meiliang Bay of Lake Taihu in eastern China from November 2008 to October 2009. The monthly average water temperatures were based on the automatic monitoring records at the Taihu Ecosystem Research and Field Observation Station of the Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology. (A) Western blot analysis of Rbp1. I, Western blot detection; II, a part of the SDS-PAGE electrophoretogram showing that proteins were loaded at equal amounts; III, the average water temperature of the month. (B) The composition of the Microcystis population as shown with gvpA-gvpC intergenic sequences. The intergenic sequences designated types 1 to 10 in this figure are shown in Fig. S1 in the supplemental material.
