Variations of Growth and Toxin Yield in Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii under Different Phosphorus Concentrations

Toxins, 2016
The bloom-forming cyanobacteria, Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, is a producer of the cytotoxic cylindrospermopsin (CYN). In this study, the growth, toxin yield, and expression of CYN biosynthesis genes of C.

Examining Short Temporal Changes in Intertidal Macroalgal Microbiomes at 'Ewa Beach, O'Ahu, Hawai'i: Some Hosts Varied While Others Remained Stable

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
We examined microbiome variability in seven macroalgal species over 5 days at an intertidal bench in 'Ewa Beach, O'ahu, Hawai'i. Microbial communities of some red and brown algae fluctuated, whilst green algae remained stable. Temporal patterns varied by species and potentially by differences in intertidal positioning and exposure to environmental ...

Risk assessment of the production of seaweed in the Netherlands; food safety and nature

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Seaweed is seen as an important source of alternative proteins for a sustainable food system and food security. The cultivation of seaweed is therefore encouraged by the European Union (EU) and also by the Dutch government.In the Netherlands, seaweed is farmed on small scale in the Southwest Delta, the Wadden Sea and the North Sea. Despite the

Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin Induced Alterations in Chromatin Organization of Plant Cells

Marine Drugs, 2013
Cyanobacteria produce metabolites with diverse bioactivities, structures and pharmacological properties. The effects of microcystins (MCYs), a family of peptide type protein-phosphatase inhibitors and cylindrospermopsin (CYN), an alkaloid type of protein

The languages spoken in the water body (or the biological role of cyanobacterial toxins)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Although intensification of toxic cyanobacterial blooms over the last decade is a matter of growing concern due to bloom impact on water quality, the biological role of most of the toxins produced is not known.

Genotoxic Effects of Cylindrospermopsin, Microcystin-LR and Their Binary Mixture in Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HepG2) Cell Line

Toxins, 2020
Simultaneous occurrence of cylindrospermopsin (CYN) and microcystin-LR (MCLR) has been reported in the aquatic environment and thus human exposure to such mixtures is possible.

Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins in Mediterranean Reservoirs: Ecological Variability, Risks and Implications for Water Quality Assessment

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for freshwater, in combination with climate change and pollution, compromises the quality and quantity of water resources. These pressures have intensified cyanobacterial blooms, including toxic events that threaten human health and aquatic ecosystems. This study complements the objectives of the Water Framework Directive

Environmentally Friendly and Cost-Effective Approaches to Reduce Toxin Content in Toxic Cyanobacterial Biomasses

Biomass
Cyanobacterial outgrowths are naturally occurring processes in eutrophic aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, as a result of climate change and anthropogenic pollution, cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) are expanding worldwide.

Occurrence and Toxigenic Potential of Planktonic Cyanobacterial Blooms and Benthic Mats in the Tropical Rio Grande de Comitán and Montebello Lakes National Park, Southern Mexico

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The tropical aquatic ecosystems of the Río Grande de Comitán and Lagunas de Montebello National Park (southern Mexico) exhibit signs of advanced eutrophication, with environmental conditions that can promote the proliferation of potentially toxic cyanobacteria.

Omics Insights into Cylindrospermopsin’s Molecular Toxicity

Foods
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a potent cyanotoxin that poses a significant risk to human and animal health. Due to its occurrence in drinking water and food, as well as its ability to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms and plants irrigated with contaminated water, the oral route is an important exposure pathway.
