Phylogenomic and Pangenomic Assessment of a Mediterranean Strain of Raphidiopsis raciborskii Extends Knowledge of the Global Distribution and Characteristics of a Potentially Toxigenic Cyanobacterium. [PDF]
The potentially toxigenic cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii has spread to temperate regions and produces massive blooms. This study reports the first taxonomic and functional metagenomic assessment of a strain from the Mediterranean, thus filling a significant gap in global distribution.

Review on Cyanobacterial Studies in Portugal: Current Impacts and Research Needs
Cyanobacteria have long been associated with harmful effects on humans, animals and aquatic biota. Cyanotoxins are their most toxic metabolite. This review summarizes the current research, impacts and future needs in cyanobacterial studies undertaken in ...

Phytoplankton composition with an emphasis of Cyanobacteria and their toxins as an indicator for the ecological status of Lake Vaya (Bulgaria) – part of the Via Pontica migration route [PDF]
As producers of biomass, cyanobacteria are a major part of the phytoplankton in a large number of water basins. Due to the cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins produced, these organisms are recognized as a threat and ecological risk for water bodies ...

Meta-analysis reveals cyanotoxins risk across African inland waters.
Global eutrophication and climate warming exacerbate production of cyanotoxins such as microcystins (MCs), presenting risks to human and animal health. Africa is a continent suffering from severe environmental crises, including MC intoxication, but with ...

Cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in estuarine water and sediment [PDF]
While transfer of freshwater cyanobacteria to estuaries has been observed worldwide, the associated transfer of cyanotoxins is less often reported, in particular the sediment contribution. During fall 2018, we monitored the co-occurrence of cyanobacteria and microcystin (MC) in both the water column and in surface sediments at five stations along a ...

Toxicity of cyanobacteria. Organotropy of cyanotoxins and toxicodynamics of cyanotoxins by species [PDF]
As a result of blooming, some cyanobacteria (Microcystis, Anabaena, Planktothrix, etc.) produce toxins at concentrations that are high enough to poison and even kill animals and humans. According to Annex II of the Framework Directive 2000/60/EC, transformed into the Bulgarian legislation, for the characterization of surface water, at this stage, there

Cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in Polish freshwater bodies [PDF]
Abstract In this work, the authors examined the presence of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in 21 samples collected from fresh water bodies located in 5 provinces in Poland: Lublin (2), Podlasie (1), Pomerania (6), Warmia-Masuria (1) and Wielkopolska (11).
