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,

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.

In Vitro Toxicity Assessment of Stilbene Extract for Its Potential Use as Antioxidant in the Wine Industry [PDF]

, 2019
The reduction of sulfur dioxide in wine is a consumer’s demand, considering the allergic effects that may occur in people who are sensitive to it. Stilbenes are candidates of great interest for this purpose because of their antioxidant/antimicrobial ...

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.

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.

Successful isolation and cultivation of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii strains isolated from finished drinking water samples [PDF]

, 2019
This work presents the successful establishment of Cylindrospermosis raciborskii cultures isolated from water samples collected at the exit point of Water Treatment Plant (WTP). An intense bloom dominated by filamentous cyanobacteria (Aphanizomenon spp.,

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

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.
