Cyanobacterial bloom events that produce natural toxins occur in freshwaters across the
globe, yet the potential risk of many cyanobacterial metabolites remains mostly unknown …

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 …

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms, which frequently contain toxic secondary metabolites, are
reported in aquatic environments around the world. More than two thousand cyanobacterial …

Cyanobacteria are microorganisms with photosynthetic mechanisms capable of colonizing
several distinct environments worldwide. They can produce a vast spectrum of bioactive …

We investigated possibility of predicting whether blooms, if they occur, would be formed of
microcystin-producing cyanobacteria. DGGE analysis of 16S-ITS and mcy A genes revealed …

Background Bloom-forming cyanobacteria occur globally in aquatic environments. They
produce diverse bioactive metabolites, some of which are known to be toxic. The most …

Cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic water bodies are a worldwide problem. Combined
effects of mixtures of secondary metabolites produced by different cyanobacterial species on …

Cyanotoxins (CTs) produced by cyanobacteria in surface freshwater are a major threat for
public health and aquatic ecosystems. Cyanobacteria can also produce a wide variety of …

Cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins occur in freshwater lakes and reservoirs all over the
world. Bacterial degradation of microcystins (MC), hepatotoxins produced by several …

Microcystins (MCs) are the most widely distributed and structurally diverse cyanotoxins that
can have significant health impacts on living organisms, including humans. The …
