Toxic Nodularia spumigena blooms in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Gdańsk: a ten-year survey
Oceanologia, 2006 In the Baltic Sea, summer blooms of the filamentous, nitrogen-fixingcyanobacterium Nodularia spumigena are favoured by high P concentrationsat low N:P ratios and a salinity range of 5-13 PSU. The bloomsare initiated by calm and sunny weather, an elevated

Toxic and bloom-forming Baltic Sea cyanobacteria under changing environmental conditions [PDF]
, 2018 The Baltic Sea is a shallow brackish water ecosystem. It is naturally prone to eutrophication, and massive cyanobacterial blooms are an annual phenomenon in this region.

Production of cyanobacterial toxins from two Nostoc species (Nostocales) and evaluation of their cytotoxicity in vitro [PDF]
Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2012 Cyanobacteria are among the oldest autotrophic organisms with cosmopolitan distribution and known as producers of secondary metabolites with toxic properties named "cyanotoxins".

The photocatalytic destruction of the cyanotoxin, nodularin using Ti02.
, 2005 Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis has been used to initiate the destruction of nodularin, a natural hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria. The destruction process was monitored using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis which has also enabled the identification of a number of the photocatalytic decomposition products.

Transcription regulation of hepatotoxins microcystin and nodularin from cyanobacteria
, 2008 The role and function of hepatotoxins microcystin and nodularin produced by M.aeruginosa PCC 7806 and N. spumigena NSORlO respectively have yet to be elucidated. The mode of transcriptional regulation of these toxins, incorporating DNA binding proteins, was investigated, as an attempt to further understand the key control mechanisms acting on the ...
