Picocyanobacteria are small cyanobacteria, being about 0.8–1.5 µm in size. They are
present in freshwater environments all over the world and are known to cause harmful algal …

Picocyanobacteria, the smallest cell‐size cyanobacteria, are numerous and ubiquitous in
freshwater, brackish, and marine environments. In freshwater, they are represented mainly …

As anthropogenic induced temperature rises and nutrient loadings increase in fresh and
brackish environments, the ecological function of the phytoplankton community is expected …

Cyanotoxins occur in rivers worldwide but are understudied in lotic ecosystems relative to
lakes and reservoirs. We sampled 11 large river sites located throughout the United States …

Most of the knowledge about cyanobacteria toxin production is traditionally associated with
planktonic cyanobacterial blooms. However, some studies have been showing that benthic …

The eutrophication of water resources, mainly attributed to antrophogenic activities such as
sewage and agricultural runoffs, has led to a worldwide increase in the formation of …

Blooms of cyanobacteria have negative effects on aquatic organisms and even on human
health, since many species can synthesize dangerous toxins. Studies on cyanobacteria and …

Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of photosynthetic Gram-negative bacteria that produce
an array of secondary compounds with selective bioactivity against a broad spectrum of …

Although toxic cyanobacteria are commonly described worldwide, only one recent paper on
the toxicity of cyanobacteria in Mexico has been published reporting the occurrence of …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (or CyanoHABs) represent one of the most
conspicuous waterborne microbial hazards. The characterization of the bloom communities …
