Understanding the Risks of Diffusion of Cyanobacteria Toxins in Rivers, Lakes, and Potable Water [PDF]
Toxins, 2023 Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, may be prevalent in our rivers and tap water. These minuscule bacteria can grow swiftly and form blooms in warm, nutrient-rich water.

Oral exposure to environmental cyanobacteria toxins: Implications for cancer risk [PDF]
Environment International, 2021 Background: Areca nut/betel quid (AN/BQ) chewing, a prevalent practice in parts of the Pacific and Asia, is an independent cause of cancers of the oral cavity and esophagus and may be linked to liver cancer.

Occurrence, Distribution and Toxins of Benthic Cyanobacteria in German Lakes
Toxics, 2023 Cyanobacteria are favored by climate change and global warming; however, to date, most research and monitoring programs have focused on planktic cyanobacteria. Benthic cyanobacteria blooms also increase and pose a risk to animal and human health; however,

Cyanobacteria toxins: diversity and ecological effects
Limnetica, 2001 Cyanobacteria are known to produce secondary metabolites which are toxic to mammals, commonly known as “toxins”. These have been described as having neurotoxic, hepatotoxic and dermatotoxic effects, being a hazard also to humans. Cyanobacteria blooms may

The Impact of Cyanobacteria Blooms on the Aquatic Environment and Human Health
Toxins, 2022 Cyanobacteria blooms are a global aquatic environment problem. In recent years, due to global warming and water eutrophication, the surface cyanobacteria accumulate in a certain area to form cyanobacteria blooms driven by wind.

Phylogeny and Biogeography of Cyanobacteria and Their Produced Toxins [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2013 Phylogeny is an evolutionary reconstruction of the past relationships of DNA or protein sequences and it can further be used as a tool to assess population structuring, genetic diversity and biogeographic patterns.
