The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing
threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites …

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 …

Background Over the past four decades, the Chinese government has conducted three

Cyanotoxins produced by toxic cyanobacteria pose a major, worldwide environmental threat
to freshwater ecosystems. Microcystins (MCs) are considered to be the most hazardous …

Microcystins are natural hepatotoxic metabolites secreted by cyanobacteria in aquatic
ecosystems. When present at elevated concentrations, microcystins can affect water quality …

Abstract Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is an emerging environmental pollutant produced by
cyanobacteria that poses a threat to wild life and human health. In recent years, the …

Blooms of cyanobacteria have been documented throughout history, all over the world.
Mass populations of these organisms typically present hazards to human health and are …

Abstract" Cyanobacterial toxins are among the hazardous substances most widely found in
