The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing
threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites …

Hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) are the most widespread class of cyanotoxins and the one
that has most often been implicated in cyanobacterial toxicosis. One of the main challenges …

Cyanobacteria were present on the earth 3.5 billion years ago; since then they have
colonized almost all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They produce a high number of …

The widespread distribution of cyanobacteria in the aquatic environment is increasing the
risk of water pollution caused by cyanotoxins, which poses a serious threat to human health …

Microcystis is a cyanobacterium that forms toxic blooms in freshwater ecosystems around
the world. Biological variation among taxa within the genus is apparent through genetic and …

Using satellite imagery to quantify the spatial patterns of cyanobacterial toxins has several
challenges. These challenges include the need for surrogate pigments–since cyanotoxins …

Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, may be prevalent in our rivers and tap water. These
minuscule bacteria can grow swiftly and form blooms in warm, nutrient-rich water. Toxins …

Anatoxin-a (S) is the most potent natural neurotoxin produced by fresh water cyanobacteria.
It is also the least understood and monitored. Although this potent cholinesterase inhibitor …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) degrade freshwater ecosystems globally.
Microcystis aeruginosa often dominates cyanoHABs and produces microcystin (MC), a class …

Cyanobacteria are key organisms in the global ecosystem, useful models for studying
metabolic and physiological processes conserved in photosynthetic organisms, and …
