Toxin production by harmful cyanobacteria blooms (CyanoHABs) constitutes a major,
worldwide environmental threat to freshwater aquatic resources that is expected to expand …

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 photosynthetic prokaryotes with wide geographic distribution that can
produce secondary metabolites named cyanotoxins. These toxins can be classified into …

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 …

Identification of ecosystem services, ie the contributions that ecosystems make to human
well‐being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for …

Cyanobacteria possess many adaptations to develop population maxima or “blooms” in
lakes and reservoirs. A potential consequence of freshwater blooms of many cyanobacterial …

Increased demand has pushed extensive aquaculture towards intensively operated
production systems, commonly resulting in eutrophic conditions and cyanobacterial blooms …

So far no information is available on microcystin (MC) contents in shrimps, prawns or
crayfish from natural freshwaters. Tissue distributions and seasonal dynamics of the …

Cyanobacterial blooms-produced microcystins are secondary metabolites which can
accumulate in the food chain and contaminate water, thus posing a potential threat to the …

Microcystin‐(MC‐) LR is the most frequent cyanotoxin produced by Microcystis aeruginosa
cyanobacteria in the contaminated freshwater environment. MC represents a health hazard …
