Transdisciplinary approaches for the study of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins [PDF]
Cyanobacteria, ancient aerobic and photoautotrophic prokaryotes, thrive in diverse ecosystems due to their extensive morphological and physiological adaptations.

A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes
This perspective discusses the challenges associated with the removal of cyanotoxins from raw water sources for drinking water treatment and the emergence of sulfate radical‐based advanced oxidation processes (SR‐AOPs) as an effective treatment technique.

Health and Environmental Impacts of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins from Freshwater to Seawater. [PDF]
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 ...

The Individual and Combined Effects of the Cyanotoxins, Anatoxin-a and Microcystin-LR, on the Growth, Toxin Production, and Nitrogen Fixation of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Algae [PDF]
Globally, eutrophication and warming of aquatic ecosystems has increased the frequency and intensity of cyanobacterial blooms and their associated toxins, with the simultaneous detection of multiple cyanotoxins often occurring.

Cyanobacterial Blooms and the Presence of Cyanotoxins in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
The records of blooms and cyanotoxins in the Brazilian Legal Amazon are scarce and do not represent the reality observed in recent years when there was an increase in notifications and studies carried out in this region.

Cyanotoxins Occurrence in Portugal: A New Report on Their Recent Multiplication [PDF]
Historical reports show that in Portugal, cyanotoxins reports were mainly in the Center (cylindrospermopsins) and South (cylindrospermopsins, saxitoxins) regions of the country apart from the well distributed microcystins.

LC-MS/MS Validation and Quantification of Cyanotoxins in Algal Food Supplements from the Belgium Market and Their Molecular Origins [PDF]
Food supplements are gaining popularity worldwide. However, harmful natural compounds can contaminate these products. In the case of algae-based products, the presence of toxin-producing cyanobacteria may cause health risks.
