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.

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,

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. In the microbial world, the concept that everything is everywhere is widely accepted.

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.

Cyanobacteria toxins and toxin producers in nine drinking water reservoirs in Taiwan
Water Science and Technology: 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.
