Cyanobacteria were present on the earth 3.5 billion years ago; since then they have
colonized almost all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They produce a high number of …

Cyanobacterial blooms occur when algal densities exceed baseline population
concentrations. Cyanobacteria can produce a large number of secondary metabolites …

Abstract" Cyanobacterial toxins are among the hazardous substances most widely found in
water. They occur naturally, but concentrations hazardous to human health are usually due …

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 …

Cyanobacterial toxins have adverse effects on mammals, birds and fish and are being
increasingly recognised as a potent stress factor and health hazard factor in aquatic …

Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxic heptapeptides released into water during or on
senescence of cyanobacterial blooms. This review details the different effects of the MCs on …

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

Mass developments of cyanobacteria (“blue‐green algae”) in lakes and brackish waters
have repeatedly led to serious concerns due to their frequent association with toxins. Among …

This report presents the extensive literature search conducted on 1) the occurrence of
different cyanotoxins in food matrices; 2) the analytical methods for their detection; 3) their …
