Massive developments of potentially toxic cyanobacteria in Lake Stechlin, an oligo-
mesotrophic lake in the Baltic Lake District of Germany raised concerns about toxic …

Microcystins (MC) are highly toxic secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacterial
blooms in many freshwater ecosystems used for recreational and drinking water purposes …

A review of hepatotoxic microcystins produced by cyanobacteria of different genera is
presented. The chemical structure and properties of microcystins, the mechanism of their …

Desertifilum is a filamentous cyanobacterium of crusts and biofilms, recently described from
the extreme hot and dry Thar Desert in north–western India. A new species was isolated …

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

Euphotic water samples were collected monthly from 16 sites in Lake of the Woods, Ontario,
Canada from July to September, 2006 and 2007. Sites represented a range of inorganic …

The late summer mass occurrences of cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea are among the largest
in the world. These blooms are rarely monotypic and are often composed of a diverse …

Although the water bodies of southern Russia experience the most extreme effects of
cyanobacterial blooms, molecular genetic data on the composition of toxigenic …

Harmful algal bloom (HAB) formation leads to the eutrophication of water ecosystems and
may render recreational lakes unsuitable for human use. We evaluated the applicability and …

Eutrophication is a process that occurs due to the excessive accumulation of nutrients,
primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, from natural and anthropogenic sources. This …
