Toxic cyanobacteria pose a significant hazard to human health and the environment. The
recent characterisation of cyanotoxin synthetase gene clusters has resulted in an explosion …

Cyanobacteria that produce the toxin microcystin have been isolated from many parts of the
world. Most of these organisms are planktonic; however, we report on several microcystin …

Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (or CyanoHABs) represent one of the most
conspicuous waterborne microbial hazards in aquatic environments mostly due to the …

Cyanobacteria blooms are since early times a cause for environmental concern because of
their negative impact through the release of odors, water discoloration, and more …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become a global problem not only in aquatic habitats but
also in public health and safety due to the production of cyanotoxins as their secondary …

Public concern over cyanobacterial blooms has increased due to their higher frequency of
occurrence and their potential ecological and health impacts. Detection of microcystin (MC) …

This review aims to summarise the outcomes of some recent European research concerning
toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins, with an emphasis on developments within the …

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

Freshwater harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) potentially produce excessive
cyanotoxins, mainly microcystins (MCs), significantly threatening aquatic ecosystems and …

Food supplements are gaining popularity worldwide. However, harmful natural compounds
can contaminate these products. In the case of algae-based products, the presence of toxin …
