Indole Alkaloids of the Stigonematales (Cyanophyta): Chemical Diversity, Biosynthesis and Biological Activity [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2016
The cyanobacteria are well recognized as producers of a wide array of bioactive metabolites including toxins, and potential drug candidates. However, a limited number of taxa are generally considered with respect to both of these aspects.

Experimental feeding of Hydrilla verticillata colonized by stigonematales cyanobacteria induces vacuolar myelinopathy in painted turtles (Chrysemys picta).

PLoS ONE, 2014
Vacuolar myelinopathy (VM) is a neurologic disease primarily found in birds that occurs when wildlife ingest submerged aquatic vegetation colonized by an uncharacterized toxin-producing cyanobacterium (hereafter "UCB" for "uncharacterized cyanobacterium")

Polyphyly of true branching cyanobacteria (Stigonematales) [PDF]

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2004
Cyanobacteria with true branching are classified in Subsection V (formerly order Stigonematales) in the phylumCyanobacteria. They exhibit a high degree of morphological complexity and are known from particular biotopes. Only a few stigonematalean morphotypes have been cultured, and therefore the high variability of morphotypes found in nature is under ...

Analysis of Marine Planktonic Cyanobacterial Assemblages From Mooriganga Estuary, Indian Sundarbans Using Molecular Approaches

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The ecological significance of marine planktonic cyanobacteria in mangrove ecosystems is not well understood from the context of community structure and functions. In this study, members of the marine planktonic cyanobacterial communities were elucidated

Antifungal Compounds from Cyanobacteria

Marine Drugs, 2015
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes found in a range of environments. They are infamous for the production of toxins, as well as bioactive compounds, which exhibit anticancer, antimicrobial and protease inhibition activities.

The Cyanobacterium (Order Stigonematales) Suspected of Causing Avian Vacuolar Myelinopathy Is Confirmed in Florida Fresh Waters [PDF]

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2009
ABSTRACT Avian vacuolar myelinopathy (AVM) is a disease that has been reported to cause significant mortalities of birds such as bald eagles and waterfowl in the southeastern United States sinse 1994. The most likely etiological agent of AVM is a neurotoxin that originates from an unnamed toxic cyanobacterium in the Order Stigonematales.

Insights from the draft genome of the subsection V (Stigonematales) cyanobacterium Hapalosiphon sp. Strain MRB220 associated with 2-MIB production [PDF]

Standards in Genomic Sciences, 2016
AbstractA non-axenic unialgal culture containing a Subsection V (Stigonematales) cyanobacterium, Hapalosiphon strain MRB 220, was obtained from a benthic freshwater algal mat through multiple transfers following growth in sterile media. Physiological characterization demonstrated the culture was capable of nitrogen-fixation and production of the off ...
