Cyanotoxins: Bioaccumulation and Effects on Aquatic Animals
Marine Drugs, 2011 Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with wide geographic distribution that can produce secondary metabolites named cyanotoxins. These toxins can be classified into three main types according to their mechanism of action in vertebrates ...

Investigation of the toxicity of cyanobacterial peptides by chemical biology approaches [PDF]
, 2014 Global warming together with the extensive agriculture favours the uncontrolled growth of cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae. Being one of the oldest life forms on our planet, they have reached evolutionary perfection over time.

Multi-Toxin Occurrences in Ten French Water Resource Reservoirs
Toxins, 2018 Cyanobacteria are known to produce a wide array of metabolites, including various classes of toxins. Among these, hepatotoxins (Microcystins), neurotoxins (Anatoxin-A and PSP toxins) or cytotoxins (Cylindrospermopsins) have been subjected to numerous ...

Negative Effects of Cyanotoxins and Adaptative Responses of Daphnia
Toxins, 2022 The plethora of cyanobacterial toxins are an enormous threat to whole ecosystems and humans. Due to eutrophication and increases in lake temperatures from global warming, changes in the distribution of cyanobacterial toxins and selection of few highly ...

Cyanobacteria, microcystins and cylindrospermopsin in public drinking supply reservoirs of Brazil
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2014 Brazil has a history of blooms and contamination of freshwater systems by cyanobacterial toxins. The monitoring relevance of toxins from cyanobacteria in reservoirs for public supply is notorious given its high toxicity to mammals, included humans beings.

The role of cyanotoxins in human and animal pathology (а review)
Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2022 Cyanobacteria are the oldest and most widespread form of life on Earth. Many of them produce toxins that are dangerous to humans and animals. The review presents data on the distribution of toxin-producing cyanobacteria, the pathogenesis of the action of
