Freshwater cyanobacteria produce several bioactive secondary metabolites with diverse
chemical structure, which may achieve high concentrations in the aquatic medium when …

Allelopathy is widespread in marine, brackish, and freshwater habitats. Literature data
indicate that allelopathy could offer a competitive advantage for some phytoplankton species …

The ability of certain harmful algal species to produce and release chemicals that inhibit the
growth of co-occurring phytoplankton species, here considered as allelopathy, is closely …

Microcystins and nodularins are among the most common cyanobacterial toxins. These
potent cyclic peptide hepatotoxins are produced by a large diversity of cyanobacterial …

Competition is a major force structuring marine planktonic communities. The release of
compounds that inhibit competitors, a process known as allelopathy, may play a role in the …

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 …

The formation, propagation, and maintenance of harmful algal blooms are of interest due to
their negative effects on marine life and human health. Some bloom-forming algae utilize …

Blooms and cultures of the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis exude compounds that
inhibit the growth of competing phytoplankton, but the identities of these compounds are …

Balticidins A–D (1–4), four new antifungal lipopeptides, were isolated from the laboratory-
cultivated cyanobacterium Anabaena cylindrica strain Bio33 isolated from a water sample …

The paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium ostenfeldii forms
dense, recurrent blooms during summer in shallow coastal areas of the Baltic Sea. We …
