Transdisciplinary approaches for the study of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins. [PDF]

Curr Res Microb Sci
Cyanobacteria, ancient aerobic and photoautotrophic prokaryotes, thrive in diverse ecosystems due to their extensive morphological and physiological adaptations. They play crucial roles in aquatic ecosystems as primary producers and resource providers but also pose significant ecological and health risks through blooms that produce harmful toxins ...

Chemical and Morphological Constitutive Defensive Traits of Cyanobacteria Have Different Effects on the Grazing of a Small Tropical Cladoceran

Toxins
Antipredator defenses of bloom-forming cyanobacteria species maximize their fitness but can reduce carbon and energy transfer efficiency to higher trophic levels, making them a key regulator of plankton communities in eutrophic waters.

In Situ Collection and Preservation of Intact Microcystis Colonies to Assess Population Diversity and Microcystin Quotas

Toxins, 2019
Understanding of colony specific properties of cyanobacteria in the natural environment has been challenging because sampling methods disaggregate colonies and there are often delays before they can be isolated and preserved.

Using an Ultraviolet-Enabled Boat to Reduce Microcystin and Suppress Cyanobacterial Growth in Harmful Algal Bloom-Impacted Surface Waters

Applied Sciences
Numerous remediation strategies exist for cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs); however, most are limited by challenges of scalability and adverse off-target effects on the surrounding ecosystem. Germicidal ultraviolet light (UV-C) has emerged

On the Chemistry, Toxicology and Genetics of the Cyanobacterial Toxins, Microcystin, Nodularin, Saxitoxin and Cylindrospermopsin

Marine Drugs, 2010
The cyanobacteria or “blue-green algae”, as they are commonly termed, comprise a diverse group of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria that inhabit a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial environments, and display incredible morphological diversity.

Assessment of Cyanotoxins Removal Efficiency Using a Simulated Drinking Water Treatment Process for Downstream Source Water of the Nakdong River [PDF]

대한환경공학회지
Objectives This study aims to evaluate the removal rates of nine cyanotoxins produced by cyanobacteria using a laboratory-scale simulated drinking water treatment process (DWTP), providing useful data for DWTP operations during algal blooms.

Degradation of cyanotoxins (microcystin) in drinking water using photoelectrooxidation

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The discharge of sewage and industrial effluents containing high concentrations of pollutants in water bodies increases eutrophication. Cyanobacteria, some of the organisms whose growth is promoted by high nutrient concentrations, are resistant and ...

Persistence of Microcystin in Three Agricultural Ponds in Georgia, USA

Toxins
Cyanobacteria and their toxins can have multiple effects on agricultural productivity and water bodies. Cyanotoxins can be transported to nearby crops and fields during irrigation and may pose a risk to animal health through water sources.
