Cyanobacteria toxins and toxin producers in nine drinking water reservoirs in Taiwan
Water Supply, 2006 Cyanobacteria are present in many drinking water reservoirs in the world, and some of them may produce microcystins, anatoxin-a and other natural toxins: In this study, two groups of algal toxins: microcystins and anatoxin-a, and associated toxin producers were investigated.

Rapid Detection of Toxin-Producing Cyanobacteria
, 2020 Lake Mead provides drinking water to millions of people in Nevada, California, and Arizona. In 2015, the Southern Nevada Water Authority detected the cyanobacteria-produced toxin microcystin in the lake for the very first time. This toxin is lethal in large doses, and in small doses it causes a myriad of serious health effects.

In Silico Analysis of Putative Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning Toxins Export Proteins in Cyanobacteria
PLoS ONE, 2013 Paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins (PSTs) are a family of more than 30 natural alkaloids synthesized by dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria whose toxicity in animals is mediated by voltage-gated Na+ channel blocking.

The study of peptide toxins from freshwater cyanobacteria. [PDF]
, 1995 The freshwater reservoirs in the English Midlands were monitored during 1991 to 1993 for the diversity of cyanobacterial species and whether or not any of the species present produced toxins, emphasis being focused upon the toxic hepatopeptides. An HPLC analysis protocol has been developed which gives satisfactory resolution, both quantitative and ...

Environmental conditions that influence toxin biosynthesis in cyanobacteria [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2012 Summary Over the past 15 years, the genetic basis for production of many cyanobacterial bioactive compounds has been described. This knowledge has enabled investigations into the environmental factors that regulate the production of these toxins at the molecular level.
