The rapid proliferation of cyanobacteria in bodies of water has caused cyanobacterial
blooms, which have become an increasing cause of concern, largely due to the presence of …

Cyanobacterial strains isolated from terrestrial and freshwater habitats in Brazil were
evaluated for their antimicrobial and siderophore activities. Metabolites of fifty isolates were …

We examined seasonal and longitudinal patterns in the occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria in
the James River Estuary (Virginia). Highest chlorophyll and cyanobacteria levels were …

The cyanobacterial community from Brazilian mangrove ecosystems was examined using a
culture-dependent method. Fifty cyanobacterial strains were isolated from soil, water and …

The occurrence of harmful algal blooms has resulted in growing worldwide concern about
threats to aquatic life and human health. Microcystin (MC), a cyanotoxin, is the most widely …

Human-driven environmental change has increased the occurrence of harmful
cyanobacteria blooms in aquatic ecosystems. Concomitantly, exposure to microcystin (MC) …

Water pollution caused by toxic cyanobacteria is a problem worldwide, increasing with
eutrophication. Due to its biological significance, genotoxicity should be a focus for …

Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were screened for 12 phycotoxins over two years in
nearshore waters to collect baseline phycotoxin data and to determine prevalence of …

Exposure to cyanotoxins, particularly microcystins, in water reservoirs, is associated with
hepatotoxicity and carcinogenesis and leads to acute and chronic damages. Consequently …

We undertook a comparative study of the James River Estuary, a sub-estuary of
Chesapeake Bay, and the Curonian Lagoon, a sub-estuary of the Baltic Sea, to better …
