Occurrence and toxicity of Microcystis aeruginosa (Cyanobacteria) in the Paraná River, downstream of the Yacyretá dam (Argentina) [PDF]
, 2016 Cyanobacteria constitute the main toxin producers in inland water ecosystems and have extensive global distribution. The presence of hepatotoxins in aquatic environments is hazardous to human and animal health; even though the presence and identification

Characterisation of host growth after infection with a broad-range freshwater cyanopodophage [PDF]
, 2014 Freshwater cyanophages are poorly characterised in comparison to their marine counterparts, however, the level of genetic diversity that exists in freshwater cyanophage communities is likely to exceed that found in marine environments, due to the habitat

Physiological and Metabolic Responses of Marine Mussels Exposed to Toxic Cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and Chrysosporum ovalisporum [PDF]
, 2020 Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a major contaminant in inland aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, toxic blooms are carried downstream by rivers and waterways to estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Concerning marine and estuarine animal species, very little is

Increasing Microcystis cell density enhances microcystin synthesis: a mesocosm study [PDF]
, 2012 An experimental protocol using mesocosms was established to study the effect of Microcystis sp. cell abundance on microcystin production. The mesocosms (55 L) were set up in a shallow eutrophic lake and received either no (control), low (to simulate a ...

Analysis of an inactive cyanobactin biosynthetic gene cluster leads to discovery of new natural products from strains of the genus Microcystis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cyanobactins are cyclic peptides assembled through the cleavage and modification of short precursor proteins. An inactive cyanobactin gene cluster has been described from the genome Microcystis aeruginosa NIES843.

Biosorption efficacy of living and non-living algal cells of Microcystis aeruginosa to toxic metals
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2021 The existence of metallic elements in the aquatic environment is recognized to cause acute destruction to aqueous life. This study depicts the prospective application of cyanobacterial strains of Microcystis aeruginosa as a sorption material of toxic ...
