Effects of Seasonal Dynamics on Cyanobacteria Proliferation in Aquaculture Fish Ponds

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Aquaculture production supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), by enhancing food security and sustainable practices. This study investigated the seasonal dynamics of cyanobacterial (CB) blooms in aquaculture fishponds in South Africa (SA) and Nigeria (NGA). Water samples were collected twice per

Is qPCR a Reliable Indicator of Cyanotoxin Risk in Freshwater?

Toxins, 2016
The wide distribution of cyanobacteria in aquatic environments leads to the risk of water contamination by cyanotoxins, which generate environmental and public health issues.

Characterization of the Gene Cluster Responsible for Cylindrospermopsin Biosynthesis [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2007
ABSTRACTToxic cyanobacterial blooms cause economic losses and pose significant public health threats on a global scale. Characterization of the gene cluster for the biosynthesis of the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin (cyr) inCylindrospermopsis raciborskiiAWT205 is described, and the complete biosynthetic pathway is proposed.

Effects of Harmful Algal Blooms on Amphibians and Reptiles are Under‐Reported and Under‐Represented

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 1936-1949, September 2024.
Abstract Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a persistent and increasing problem globally, yet we still have limited knowledge about how they affect wildlife. Although semi‐aquatic and aquatic amphibians and reptiles have experienced large declines and occupy environments where HABs are increasingly problematic, their vulnerability to HABs remains unclear.

Responsible innovation: Mitigating the food safety aspects of cultured meat production

Journal of Food Science, Volume 89, Issue 8, Page 4638-4659, August 2024.
Abstract There is much interest in cultured (cultivated) meat as a potential solution to concerns over the ecological and environmental footprint of food production, especially from animal‐derived food products. The aim of this critical review is to undertake a structured analysis of existing literature to (i) identify the range of materials that could

The chemical and microbiological safety of emerging alternative protein sources and derived analogues: A review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract Climate change and changing consumer demand are the main factors driving the protein transition. This shift toward more sustainable protein sources as alternatives to animal proteins is also reflected in the rapid upscaling of meat and dairy food analogues.

Immunohistochemical approach to study Cylindrospermopsin distribution in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) under different exposure conditions [PDF]

, 2014
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cytotoxic cyanotoxin produced by several species of freshwater cyanobacteria (i.e., Aphanizomenon ovalisporum). CYN is a tricyclic alkaloid combined with a guanidine moiety.
