Limnofasciculus delicatus (Coleofasciculaceae, Coleofasciculales), a Novel Mat‐Forming Cyanobacterium From Shenandoah River, Virginia, USA

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
A novel mat‐forming benthic freshwater cyanobacterium, Limnofasciculus delicatus, is described based on morphological, phylogenetic and genomic evidence from the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River. Although Limnofasciculus delicatus lacks biosynthetic gene clusters associated with the production of known cyanotoxins, it occurs in association

Tetrodotoxin and Its Analogues in the Pufferfish Arothron hispidus and A. nigropunctatus from the Solomon Islands: A Comparison of Their Toxin Profiles with the Same Species from Okinawa, Japan

Toxins, 2015
Pufferfish poisoning has not been well documented in the South Pacific, although fish and other seafood are sources of protein in these island nations. In this study, tetrodotoxin (TTX) and its analogues in each organ of the pufferfish Arothron hispidus ...

Dominance and toxicity without lethality: Exploring biomass, cyanometabolites, and Daphnia responses across Cyanobacterial strains

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 801-817, June 2026.
Abstract Cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan, important components of biomass with a remarkable ability to synthesize a diverse array of bioactive compounds, some of which may have toxic effects on other organisms and ecosystems. In this study, filamentous cyanobacterial strains isolated predominantly from temperate European freshwaters (Aphanizomenon ...

Anthracylmethyl crown ethers as fluorescence sensors of saxitoxin

, 1999
Anthracylmethyl crowns 1 and 2 show up to 30-fold increase in fluorescence emission intensity in the presence of saxitoxin in ethanol, and sixfold enhancement in 80% ethanol.

Environmental governance in the face of collapse: The case of Acapulco, Mexico, between tourist splendour and ecological risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Underwater clean‐up efforts in Acapulco Bay reveal the visible consequences of chronic coastal pollution. This study shows how Environmental Risk Assessments (ERAs) can integrate scientific evidence, regulatory frameworks and practitioner experience to identify pollution sources and guide more effective coastal governance in cities of the Global South.

Statewide Intensification of Harmful Algal Blooms Across California Lakes and Reservoirs

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Monitoring cyanobacteria is crucial for assessing water quality, safeguarding public health, and understanding ecosystem dynamics impacted by harmful algal blooms. This study explores the potential of satellite remote sensing (SRS) to assess risks of cyanotoxin exposure in California's recreational waters from 2002 to 2011 and 2016 to 2023 ...
