The paradox of cyanotoxins: from natural toxins to biotechnological resources
Euchembioj ReviewsCyanotoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria that decrease water quality and exert a wide range of harmful effects on many organisms, including humans, through the food web.

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 801-817, June 2026.Abstract Cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan, important components of biomass with a remarkable ability to synthesize a diverse array of bioactive compounds, some of which may have toxic effects on other organisms and ecosystems. In this study, filamentous cyanobacterial strains isolated predominantly from temperate European freshwaters (Aphanizomenon ...

Cyanotoxins: A Poison that Frees Phosphate [PDF]
Current Biology, 2010 Autotrophic organisms obtain phosphorus from the environment by secreting alkaline phosphatases that act on esters, resulting in inorganic phosphate that is then taken up. New work shows that the cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon ovalisporum obtains inorganic phosphate by secreting the cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin, which induces alkaline phosphatase in ...

Sources and Occurrence of Cyanotoxins Worldwide
, 2009 The eutrophication of water resources, mainly attributed to antrophogenic activities such as sewage and agricultural runoffs, has led to a worldwide increase in the formation of cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (Cyano-HABs).

Microcystins in planktonic and benthic food web components from Greenlandic lakes
Ecosphere, 2021 There is increasing global concern regarding the social, economic, human health, and environmental health implications of cyanotoxins. However, much of what we know about cyanotoxins comes from studies of temperate or tropical systems with conspicuous ...

Analysis, levels and seasonal variation of cyanotoxins in freshwater ecosystems [PDF]
, 2020 Nutrient over-enrichment in freshwater environments, together with the on-going climate change, favour the toxin-producing cyanobacteria bloom. Human health hazard may arise from drinking contaminated water.

Gene‐to‐Population Level Responses to Multiple Stressors on the Rocky Shore
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This experiment employs an in situ field experiment on a rocky shore to test how simulated warming and ambient sewage‐associated nutrient pollution independently and interactively affect ecological responses from gene expression to functional‐group dynamics across a summer season.
