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 …

Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria in water supply systems are a global issue affecting water
supplies on every major continent except Antarctica. The occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria …

Abstract" Cyanobacterial toxins are among the hazardous substances most widely found in
water. They occur naturally, but concentrations hazardous to human health are usually due …

The occurrence of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in surface waters is often accompanied by
the production of a variety of cyanotoxins. These toxins are designed to target in humans …

The cyanobacteria or “blue-green algae”, as they are commonly termed, comprise a diverse
group of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria that inhabit a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial …

Cyanobacteria produce an unparalleled variety of toxins that can cause severe health
problems or even death in humans, and wild or domestic animals. In the last decade …

Cyanobacteria are one of the most diverse groups of gram-negative photosynthetic
prokaryotes. Many of them are able to produce a wide range of toxic secondary metabolites …

This review focuses on the risk assessment associated with human exposure to cyanotoxins,
secondary metabolites of an ubiquitous group of photosynthetic procariota. Cyanobacteria …

Cyanobacteria possess many adaptations to develop population maxima or “blooms” in
lakes and reservoirs. A potential consequence of freshwater blooms of many cyanobacterial …

The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms has increased significantly in many regions of the
world in the last century due to water eutrophication. These blooms are hazardous to …
