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 …

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 …

This report presents the extensive literature search conducted on 1) the occurrence of
different cyanotoxins in food matrices; 2) the analytical methods for their detection; 3) their …

In swine farming, animals develop diseases that require the use of antibiotics. In-feed
antibiotics as growth promoters have been banned due to the increasing concern of …

Massive accumulations of cyanobacteria (aka “blue-green algae”), known as freshwater
harmful algal blooms (FHABs), are a common global occurrence in water bodies used for …

Cyanobacteria of a picoplanktonic cell size (0.2 to 2.0 µm) are common organisms of both
freshwater and marine ecosystems. However, due to their small size and relatively short …

In late summer, massive blooms and surface scums of cyanobacteria emerge regularly in
the Baltic Sea. The bacteria can produce toxins and add bioavailable nitrogen fixed from …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, are
often seen as a problem. Their accumulation (bloom) in surface water can cause toxicity and …

Until recently, the data on the diversity of the entire microbial community from the Baltic Sea
were relatively rare and very scarce. However, modern molecular methods have provided …

Future climate scenarios in the Baltic Sea project an increase of cyanobacterial bloom
frequency and duration, attributed to eutrophication and climate change. Some …
