This review summarizes the present state of knowledge regarding the toxic, bloom-forming
cyanobacterium, Microcystis, with a specific focus on its geographic distribution, toxins …

The water bodies, mainly coastal and lake, remain tainted worldwide, mostly because of the
Cyanobacteria harbored in Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). The main reason for the …

In temperate latitudes, toxic cyanobacteria blooms often occur in eutrophied ecosystems
during warm months. Many common bloom-forming cyanobacteria have toxic and non-toxic …

Cyanobacteria are found in almost every aquatic ecosystem. Yet their presence does not
automatically pose a risk to public health. Whether or not toxins reach health-relevant …

Owing to the increasing importance of aquaculture to compensate for the progressive
worldwide reduction of natural fish and to the fact that several fish farming plants often suffer …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are naturally occurring phenomena, and cyanobacteria are the
most commonly occurring HABs in freshwater systems. Cyanobacteria HABs (cyanoHABs) …

In the forthcoming decades, it is widely believed that the dominance of colonial and
filamentous bloom‐forming cyanobacteria (eg M icrocystis, P lanktothrix, A nabaena and C …

Many degraded waterbodies around the world are subject to strong proliferations of
cyanobacteria–notorious for their toxicity, high biomass build-up and negative impacts on …

Temporal changes in hepatotoxin microcystin-producing and non-microcystin-producing
Microcystis aeruginosa populations were examined in Lake Mikata, Japan. To monitor the …

Microcystis is the most common freshwater bloom-forming cyanobacterium. Its massive
blooms not only adversely affect the functionality of aquatic ecosystems, but are also …
