Toxins of cyanobacteria

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2006
AbstractBlue‐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 inherent toxins in quantities causing toxicity in mammals, including humans. These cyanotoxins include cyclic peptides and alkaloids.

Cyanobacteria in motion

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2017
Cyanobacteria are able to move directly towards or away from a light source, a process called phototaxis. Recent studies have revealed that the spherical unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 exhibits a cell polarity in response to unidirectional illumination and that micro-optic properties of cyanobacterial cells are the basis of their

Introduction to Cyanobacteria

2023
Cyanobacteria are highly interesting microbes with the capacity for oxygenic photosynthesis. They fulfill an important purpose in nature but are also potent biocatalysts. This chapter gives a brief overview of this diverse phylum and shortly addresses the functions these organisms have in the natural ecosystems.

Soil microalgae and cyanobacteria: the biotechnological potential in the maintenance of soil fertility and health

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2019
The soil microbiota plays a major role in maintaining the nutrient balance, carbon sink, and soil health. Numerous studies reported on the function of microbiota such as plant growth-promoting bacteria and fungi in soil.

The Toxins of Cyanobacteria

Scientific American, 1994
On May 2, 1878, George Francis of Adelaide, Australia, published the Þrst scholarly description of the potentially lethal eÝects produced by cyanobacteriaNthe microorganisms sometimes called blue-green algae or, more colloquially, pond scum. In a letter to Nature he noted that an alga he thought to be Nodularia spumigena had so proliferated in the ...

Transformation in Cyanobacteria

CRC Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 1986
The lack of any known transduction or indigenous conjugation systems has left transformation as the major means for genetic manipulations in cyanobacteria. Studies of transformation in cyanobacteria generally have dealt with one of two distinct areas.
