The cyanobacterial role in the resistance of feather mosses to decomposition--toward a new hypothesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Cyanobacteria-plant symbioses play an important role in many ecosystems due to the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (N) by the cyanobacterial symbiont. The ubiquitous feather moss Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt. is colonized by cyanobacteria in boreal

Streptavidins Coordinate Biotin Sequestration and Self‐Resistance Within a Biotin‐Pathway Antibiotic Network

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conserved genomic region between two streptavidin genes in Streptomyces packages biosynthetic gene clusters for diverse biotin‐pathway antibiotics: acidomycin, stravidin, the new non‐proteinogenic amino acid ANDA, and the new BioA inhibitor α‐methyl‐KAPA.

Scoping review of the effects of cyanobacterial toxins on human and animal health and potential role in mosquito control

Discover Environment
Cyanobacteria and their associated toxins are widespread, particularly in aquatic environments. Periodic comprehensive assessments of the effects of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxin, within the One Health framework is needed.

Health and Environmental Impacts of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins from Freshwater to Seawater

Toxins
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) are a natural phenomenon produced mainly by the interaction between natural and anthropogenic events. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of cyanotoxins that can have harmful effects on different ...

Removal of cyanobacteria toxins from drinking water by adsorption on activated carbon fibers

, 2008
Natural fibers from macadamia nut shell, dried coconut shell endocarp, unripe coconut mesocarp, sugarcane bagasse and pine wood residue were used to prepare activated carbon fibers (ACF) with potential application for removing microcystins.

Performance Assessment and Lab‐Scale Economic Evaluation of Alkaline Extraction and Comparative Precipitation of Cyanobacterial Proteins

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Algal proteins from cyanobacteria serve as a natural source of biopolymers. The principal challenge manifests as nonoptimization of unit operations in downstream process accounting for higher costs. This study focuses on process assessment of unit‐operations for selecting suitable recovery strategies not only based on yield, but also considers

Health-Based Cyanotoxin Guideline Values Allow for Cyanotoxin-Based Monitoring and Efficient Public Health Response to Cyanobacterial Blooms

Toxins, 2015
Human health risks from cyanobacterial blooms are primarily related to cyanotoxins that some cyanobacteria produce. Not all species of cyanobacteria can produce toxins.

Cyanotoxins: A dermatological problem [PDF]

Archive of Oncology, 2011
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), that are common inhabitants of water and terrestrial environments throughout the world, produce a broad spectrum of secondary metabolites - biologically active products that could be toxic (cyano­toxins).
