Hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) are the most widespread class of cyanotoxins and the one
that has most often been implicated in cyanobacterial toxicosis. One of the main challenges …

Over the last 15 years, the advent of high-throughput “omics” techniques has revealed the
multiple roles and interactions occurring among hosts, their microbial partners and their …

Background Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms with wide morphological and
metabolic diversity. By means of photosynthesis, they convert inorganic compounds into …

Background: The Balaruc-les-Bains' thermal mud was found to be colonized predominantly
by microorganisms, with cyanobacteria constituting the primary organism in the microbial …

Growth of microcystin-producing cyanobacteria in Lake Okeechobee (Florida, USA) and
surrounding waters has resulted in adverse health impacts for humans and endangered …

In July 2017, a massive bloom of the potentially toxic cyanobacterial species Planktothrix sp.
was observed in the Béni-Haroun Reservoir (Algeria), which was followed by a massive fish …

Cyanobacteria are able to synthesize a high diversity of natural compounds that account for
their success in the colonization of a variety of ecological niches. Many of them have …

Background: Phycocyanin is an algae-derived protein, which binds to pigment for harvesting
light. It has been reported in various different species, including that of red algae …

Cyanobacteria are ancient photosynthetic microorganisms with a long evolutionary history
that have adapted to inhabit diverse environments, such as thermal waters and muds. To do …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) occur in fresh water globally. These can
degrade water quality and produce toxins, resulting in ecological and economic damages …
