Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 12, Page 3319-3332, December 2023., 2023 We explore the previously undescribed diversity of phages associated with anatoxin‐producing benthic mats from rivers, including a novel virulent cyanophage with a ‘jumbo’ genome. This virulent cyanophage is predicted to infect anatoxin‐producing Microcoleus and its appearance is concomitant with the host decline, supporting the kill‐the‐winner ...

Cell Death Inducing Microbial Protein Phosphatase Inhibitors—Mechanisms of Action
Marine Drugs, 2015 Okadaic acid (OA) and microcystin (MC) as well as several other microbial toxins like nodularin and calyculinA are known as tumor promoters as well as inducers of apoptotic cell death.

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1712-1731, October 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) deposition has increased substantially since the second half of the 20th century due to human activities. This increase of reactive N into the biosphere has major implications for ecosystem functioning, including primary production, soil and water chemistry and producer community structure and diversity.

Cyanotoxins: methods and approaches for their analysis and detection [PDF]
, 2017 Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, a group of photosynthetic prokaryota especially found in freshwater. In favourable conditions (i.e. high nutrient levels, light intensity, water temperature), cyanobacteria can form blooms,

Toxicity at the Edge of Life: A Review on Cyanobacterial Toxins from Extreme Environments
Marine Drugs, 2017 Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, of varied chemical nature and toxic effects. Although cyanobacteria thrive in all kinds of ecosystems on Earth even under very harsh conditions, current knowledge on cyanotoxin distribution

Evidence of trophic transfer of microcystins from the gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis to the fish Gasterosteus aculeatus. [PDF]
, 2014 International audienceAccording to our previous results the gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis exposed to MC-producing cyanobacteria accumulates microcystins (MCs) both as free and covalently bound forms in its tissues, therefore representing a potential risk ...

Nodularia spumigena Peptides—Accumulation and Effect on Aquatic Invertebrates
Toxins, 2015 Thus far, the negative effects of Nodularia spumigena blooms on aquatic organisms have been mainly attributed to the production of the hepatotoxic nodularin (NOD). In the current work, the accumulation of other N.
