Interpreting the Possible Ecological Role(s) of Cyanotoxins: Compounds for Competitive Advantage and/or Physiological Aide?

Marine Drugs, 2013
To date, most research on freshwater cyanotoxin(s) has focused on understanding the dynamics of toxin production and decomposition, as well as evaluating the environmental conditions that trigger toxin production, all with the objective of informing ...

Tropical cyanobacterial blooms: A review of prevalence, problem taxa, toxins and influencing environmental factors [PDF]

, 2015
© 2015, Page Press Publications. All rights reserved. Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a major issue in freshwater systems in many countries. The potentially toxic species and their ecological causes are likely to be different in tropical zones from those

Biodegradation of the cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin by Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus and Alcaligenes faecalis 

Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanotoxin found in natural waters, with potential risk to human health through the inhibition of protein synthesis. Despite the implementation of conventional water treatment procedures, complete removal of CYN remains a ...

Effects of the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa on eastern oyster feeding

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is an estuarine consumer of considerable ecological and economic value, with the ability to selectively feed from a mixed phytoplankton community. Estuarine phytoplankton communities are experiencing an increased presence of small, nutritionally poor, salt‐tolerant, and potentially toxic cyanobacteria,

Phylogenomic and Pangenomic Assessment of a Mediterranean Strain of Raphidiopsis raciborskii Extends Knowledge of the Global Distribution and Characteristics of a Potentially Toxigenic Cyanobacterium

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
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.

Health-Based Cyanotoxin Guideline Values Allow for Cyanotoxin-Based Monitoring and Efficient Public Health Response to Cyanobacterial Blooms

Toxins, 2015
Human health risks from cyanobacterial blooms are primarily related to cyanotoxins that some cyanobacteria produce. Not all species of cyanobacteria can produce toxins.
