Cyanobacteria can form dense and sometimes toxic blooms in freshwater and marine
environments, which threaten ecosystem functioning and degrade water quality for …

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

Aquatic ecosystems are the ultimate sinks for the contaminants. Water contamination is the
outcome of human activities such as urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural …

Harmful algal blooms are among the emerging threats to freshwater biodiversity that need to
