(1) Background: Cyanobacteria produce a wide range of secondary metabolites, including tumor-promoting hepatotoxins. We recently reported evidence of an independent association between oral cyanobacteria and hepatocellular carcinoma in a U.S. population.

Towards a more complete understanding of the occurrence and toxicities of the cylindrospermopsins
The existence of a number of cylindrospermopsin analogs has been confirmed by several authors. These cylindrospermopsin analogs were formerly seen as minor constituents, with normal cylindrospermopsin always being the dominant form.

Immunomodulatory Effects of Pure Cylindrospermopsin in Rats Orally Exposed for 28 Days
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a ubiquitous cyanotoxin showing increasing incidence worldwide. CYN has been classified as a cytotoxin and, among its toxic effects, its immunotoxicity is scarcely studied.

We explore the previously undescribed diversity of phages associated with anatoxin‐producing benthic mats from rivers, including a novel virulent cyanophage with a ‘jumbo’ genome. This virulent cyanophage is predicted to infect anatoxin‐producing Microcoleus and its appearance is concomitant with the host decline, supporting the kill‐the‐winner ...

In Vitro Mutagenic and Genotoxic Assessment of a Mixture of the Cyanotoxins Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin [PDF]
The co-occurrence of various cyanobacterial toxins can potentially induce toxic effects different than those observed for single cyanotoxins, as interaction phenomena cannot be discarded. Moreover, mixtures are a more probable exposure scenario. However,

Chrysosporum ovalisporum is a cylindrospermopsin toxin producing cyanobacterium that was reported in several lakes and reservoirs. Its growth dynamics and toxin distribution in field remain largely undocumented.

The aim of the study was to find a more effective method for treating wastewater generated from washing and cutting industrial containers such as intermediate bulk containers, steel drums, and plastic barrels. The researchers employed a sulfate radical‐based oxidation method and could show that it significantly enhanced the quality of the wastewater by

Cylindrospermopsin: occurrence, methods of detection and toxicology [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are aquatic micro-organisms that pose a great threat to aquatic ecosystems by the production of dense blooms, but most importantly by the production of secondary metabolites, namely the cyanotoxins. One of these is cylindrospermopsin (CYN), a hepatotoxic polyketide-derived alkaloid with well-known associated cases of animal mortalities ...

Cyanotoxins produced by blue-green algae in lakes are among the most serious threats to water quality worldwide. As global warming rapidly extends the locations and timing of blue-green algae blooms, a simple and accessible method for ...

Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on an ethanolic extract of the dried biomass of the microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.
