First Report of the Co-occurrence of Cylindrospermopsin, Nodularin and Microcystins in the Freshwaters of Lake Victoria, Tanzania

Exposure and Health, 2020
There is a global concern regarding the increase of cyanotoxins in freshwater and their potential effects on human health. The existence of multiple toxins in freshwater can result in an increased risk of their bioaccumulation in humans from their ...

Harmful algal and cyanobacterial toxins in foraging green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Florida's Big Bend

Toxicon: X, 2020
Numerous toxin-producing harmful algal (HAB) species occur in Florida's coastal waters. Exposure to these toxins has been shown to have sublethal effects in sea turtles.

Absence of Cyanotoxins in Llayta, Edible Nostocaceae Colonies from the Andes Highlands

Toxins, 2020
Edible Llayta are cyanobacterial colonies consumed in the Andes highlands. Llayta and four isolated cyanobacteria strains were tested for cyanotoxins (microcystin, nodularin, cylindrospermopsin, saxitoxin and β-N-methylamino-L-alanine—BMAA) using ...

Cyanobacteria from Terrestrial and Marine Sources Contain Apoptogens Able to Overcome Chemoresistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells

Marine Drugs, 2014
In this study, we investigated forty cyanobacterial isolates from biofilms, gastropods, brackish water and symbiotic lichen habitats. Their aqueous and organic extracts were used to screen for apoptosis-inducing activity against acute myeloid leukemia ...

Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins in Mediterranean Reservoirs: Ecological Variability, Risks and Implications for Water Quality Assessment

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for freshwater, in combination with climate change and pollution, compromises the quality and quantity of water resources. These pressures have intensified cyanobacterial blooms, including toxic events that threaten human health and aquatic ecosystems. This study complements the objectives of the Water Framework Directive

Interactive effects of stoichiometry and environmental variability regulate cyanobacteria toxicity in two eutrophic bays

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3506-3519, November 2025.
Abstract Cyanobacteria blooms are a leading threat to water quality globally. Despite this, the timing and frequency of toxin production associated with harmful blooms are not well understood. Here we explore cyanobacteria bloom dynamics and cyanotoxin production in two heavily instrumented shallow, eutrophic bays of Lake Champlain through the lens of ...
