The traditional genus Aphanizomenon comprises a group of filamentous nitrogen-fixing
cyanobacteria of which several memebers are able to develop blooms and to produce toxic …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are naturally occurring phenomena, and cyanobacteria are the
most commonly occurring HABs in freshwater systems. Cyanobacteria HABs (cyanoHABs) …

The heterocytous cyanobacteria form a monophyletic group according to 16S rRNA gene
sequence data. Within this group, phylogenetic and morphological studies have shown that …

Abstract The cyanobacterium, Aphanizomenon ovalisporum (Forti) is reported herein for the
first time in Australia. Its distribution appears to be restricted to an isolated subtropical region …

Phytoplankton species composition, seasonal dynamics and spatial distribution in the
shallow Lake Doïrani were studied during the growth season of 1996 along with key …

For the first time in Belgium and Luxembourg, the diversity and taxonomy of 95
cyanobacterial strains isolated from freshwater blooms were assessed by the comparison of …

It is essential for the modern taxonomic classification of cyanobacteria to be continually
updated in accordance with revisions based on molecular sequence comparisons and …

Abstract Eleven waterbodies in Western France dominated by cyanobacteria of the genera
Aphanizomenon and Anabaena were analyzed in September 2006 for microcystins (MC) …

The toxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is produced by a variety of cyanobacterial genera. One
of these, Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, is generally assumed to be the source of CYN in …

The taxonomy of cyanobacteria has been substantially modified in the last few decades,
particularly after application of modern ultrastructural and molecular methods. The group of …
