Cyanobacterial bloom events that produce natural toxins occur in freshwaters across the
globe, yet the potential risk of many cyanobacterial metabolites remains mostly unknown …

There has been a marked increase in the distribution, intensity and frequency of
proliferations of some species of the benthic mat-forming, toxin-producing genus …

Warm weather and excess nutrients from agricultural runoff trigger harmful algal blooms,
which can affect drinking water safety due to the presence of algal toxins and the formation …

Cyanobacteria can produce toxic metabolites known as cyanotoxins. Common and
frequently investigated cyanotoxins include microcystins (MCs), nodularin (NOD) and …

In November 2005, at least five dogs died rapidly after contact with water from the Hutt River
(lower North Island, New Zealand). Necropsy performed 24h later on one of the dogs (a 20 …

Cyanobacteria that produce the toxin microcystin have been isolated from many parts of the
world. Most of these organisms are planktonic; however, we report on several microcystin …

Microcystins (MCs) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN) are among the cyanotoxins which occur
naturally, produced by different cyanobacteria species when they grow or proliferate under …

Most of the knowledge about cyanobacteria toxin production is traditionally associated with
planktonic cyanobacterial blooms. However, some studies have been showing that benthic …

The present study describes for the first time the species composition and toxicity of benthic
cyanobacteria forming mats on the Nile River and irrigation canal sediments in Egypt. A total …

Future climate warming may increase water temperature, stratification, and the occurrence of
cyanobacteria blooms in drinking water reservoirs. Herein, past relationships between air …
