This paper reports the further development of a model simulating the movement and growth of freshwater cyanobacteria. Photosynthetic production of carbohydrate is calculated under different environmental conditions. Carbohydrate is then allocated to growth and cell maintenance with excess production forming cellular ballast. From this, density change is calculated and vertical migration sim- ulated within the water column. The approach taken is conceptually different from other recent models. Turbulent lake mixing is included to study the physiological responses of cyanobacteria to environmental variability.
