Cyanobacteria are photoautotrophic organisms which occur in aquatic and terrestrial
environments. They have the potential to produce toxins which pose a threat to human and …

The widespread distribution of cyanobacteria in the aquatic environment is increasing the
risk of water pollution caused by cyanotoxins, which poses a serious threat to human health …

The occurrence of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in surface waters is often accompanied by
the production of a variety of cyanotoxins. These toxins are designed to target in humans …

Microcystins (MCs) are common cyanotoxins produced by harmful cyanobacterial blooms
(HCBs) and severely threaten human and ecosystems health. Biodegradation is an efficient …

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) pose unique risks to the citizens, stakeholders, visitors,
environment and economy of the state of Florida. Florida has been historically subjected to …

The monocyclic heptapeptides microcystins (MCs), are a group of hepatotoxins, produced
worldwide by some bloom-forming cyanobacterial species/strains both in marine and …

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 …

Cyanobacteria are one of the most diverse groups of gram-negative photosynthetic
prokaryotes. Many of them are able to produce a wide range of toxic secondary metabolites …

This review focuses on the risk assessment associated with human exposure to cyanotoxins,
secondary metabolites of an ubiquitous group of photosynthetic procariota. Cyanobacteria …

The investigation on microcystin topics is increasing due to the related ecological and public
health risks. Recent investigation confirms a gap in establishing global patterns relating a …
