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 …

Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton on the planet and form harmful algal
blooms in freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Recent research suggests that …

Worldwide development of cyanobacterial blooms has significantly increased in marine and
continental waters in the last century due to water eutrophication. This phenomenon is …

Cyanobacterial mass occurrences are common in fresh and brackish waters. They pose a
threat to water users due to toxins frequently produced by the cyanobacterial species …

The substantial loss in the stratospheric ozone layer and consequent increase in solar
ultraviolet radiation on the earth's surface have augmented the interest in searching for …

In the last decade, various molecular methods (eg, fluorescent hybridization assay,
sandwich hybridization assay, automatized biosensor detection, real-time PCR assay) have …

Saxitoxins (STXs) are carbamate alkaloid neurotoxins produced by marine “red tide”
dinoflagellates and several species of freshwater filamentous cyanobacteria, including …

Toxic cyanobacteria pose a significant hazard to human health and the environment. The
recent characterisation of cyanotoxin synthetase gene clusters has resulted in an explosion …

Any forms of valorization of microorganisms would require accurate identity recognition to
ensure repeatability, reproducibility and quality assurance. This study aimed to evaluate the …

Nodularia spumigena is a nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium that forms toxic blooms in the
Baltic Sea each summer and the availability of phosphorous is an important factor limiting …
