Cyanotoxins Occurrence in Portugal: A New Report on Their Recent Multiplication [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Historical reports show that in Portugal, cyanotoxins reports were mainly in the Center (cylindrospermopsins) and South (cylindrospermopsins, saxitoxins) regions of the country apart from the well distributed microcystins.

Statistical Inferences Applying Non-Parametric Data on Cyanobacterial Investigations: Contributions to Water Quality and New Trends under Global Changes on Portuguese Freshwater Ecosystems [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 Cyanobacteria are a bloom-forming ancient group of photosynthetic prokaryotes. A rise in temperature is a major contributor to its massive proliferation, namely on freshwater ecosystems, with social and economic impacts. Thus, reliable and cost-effective

Health and Environmental Impacts of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins from Freshwater to Seawater [PDF]
ToxinsCyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) are a natural phenomenon produced mainly by the interaction between natural and anthropogenic events. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of cyanotoxins that can have harmful effects on different ...

New Report of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins in El Pañe Reservoir: A Threat for Water Quality in High-Andean Sources from PERU [PDF]
ToxinsCyanobacteria are cosmopolitan organisms; nonetheless, climate change and eutrophication are increasing the occurrence of cyanobacteria blooms (cyanoblooms), thereby raising the risk of cyanotoxins in water sources used for drinking, agriculture, and ...

Lesser-Known Cyanotoxins: A Comprehensive Review of Their Health and Environmental Impacts [PDF]
ToxinsCyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are a diverse phylum of photosynthetic, Gram-negative bacteria and one of the largest microbial taxa. These organisms produce cyanotoxins, which are secondary metabolites that can have significant impacts on

New Data on Cylindrospermopsin Toxicity [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a widely spread cyanotoxin that can occur in fresh water and food. This research aims to investigate CYN toxicity by studying the effects of drinking 0.25 nM of CYN-contaminated water from a natural source, and of the direct application of moderate concentrations of CYN on different animal targets.

Bacterial community and cyanotoxin gene distribution of the Winam Gulf, Lake Victoria, Kenya. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis work identified cyanobacterial community and cyanotoxin gene distribution in the Winam Gulf, Lake Victoria, Kenya. Cyanobacterial communities clustered in line with different areas of the Gulf, while cyanotoxin gene concentrations varied between the eastern and western regions.

Nutrient Regulation of Relative Dominance of Cylindrospermopsin-Producing and Non-cylindrospermopsin-Producing Raphidiopsis raciborskii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Raphidiopsis raciborskii (previously Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii) can produce cylindrospermopsin (CYN) which is of great concern due to its considerable toxicity to human and animals. Its CYN-producing (toxic) and non-CYN-producing (non-toxic) strains co-exist commonly in natural water bodies, while how their relative dominance is regulated has not ...

The role of cyanotoxins in human and animal pathology (а review)
Журнал микробиологии, эпидемиологии и иммунобиологии, 2022 Cyanobacteria are the oldest and most widespread form of life on Earth. Many of them produce toxins that are dangerous to humans and animals. The review presents data on the distribution of toxin-producing cyanobacteria, the pathogenesis of the action of
