1. Chemically reduced nitrogen forms are increasing in aquatic systems and beginning to reach concentrations not previously measured. Despite this, little research has examined the potential of reduced nitrogen forms to encourage excess nitrogen storage and promote algal bloom longevity compared to oxidised forms. 2. A 2- week field, pulse- application experiment was carried out using 1,100- L plastic limnocorrals to examine cyanobacterial community response to three nitrogen forms, including nitrate, ammonium, and urea (added as 600 µ g N/L). Cell pigments and counts were used to calculate cell- specific pigment concentrations, and cell- associated microcystin concentrations were also measured to examine toxin response to a shift in nitrogen source. 3. Results showed that, upon nitrogen introduction, extracellular nitrogen quickly decreased in accordance with an increase in cellular phycocyanin 72 hr after fertilisation. Ammonium and urea treatments had more
