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 …

Blue‐green algae are found in lakes, ponds, rivers and brackish waters throughout the
world. In case of excessive growth such as bloom formation, these bacteria can produce …

When the first triennial international conferences on photosynthetic prokaryotes, including
cyanobacteria, began in the 1970's, their packed and novel proceedings included no …

Freshwater resources are under stress due to naturally occurring conditions and human
impacts. One of the consequences is the proliferation of cyanobacteria, microphytoplankton …

Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous photosynthetic micro-organisms forming blooms and scums in
surface water; among them some species can produce cyanotoxins giving rise to some …

Cyanotoxin-producing harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a global occurrence and pose
ecotoxicological threats to humans and animals alike. The presence of cyanotoxins can …

A large diversity of cyanobacteria is associated with the production of cyanotoxins. Appendix
2 reports an updated list of cyanobacterial species or genera:(i) producing toxin from …

Cyanobacteria are well recognised as producers of a wide range of natural compounds that
are in turn recognised as toxins that have potential and useful applications in the future as …

Abstract Cyanobacteria of the Baltic Sea have multiple effects on organisms that influence
the food chain dynamics on several trophic levels. Cyanobacteria contain several bioactive …

Nodularins are an important class of hepatotoxic cyclic pentapeptides that are produced by
the cyanobacteria Nodularia spumigena. These peptides have been found worldwide and …
