Cyanobacteria were present on the earth 3.5 billion years ago; since then they have
colonized almost all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. They produce a high number of …

Toxic cyanobacteria are a concern worldwide because they can adversely affect humans,
animals, and ecosystems. However, neurotoxins produced by freshwater cyanobacteria are …

Cyanobacteria are the most ancient phytoplankton on the planet and form harmful algal
blooms in freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems. Recent research suggests that …

Benthic cyanobacteria are found globally in plethora of environments. Although they have
received less attention than their planktonic freshwater counterparts, it is now well …

The widespread distribution of cyanobacteria in the aquatic environment is increasing the
risk of water pollution caused by cyanotoxins, which poses a serious threat to human health …

Ecological degradation of the benthic littoral zone is an emerging, urgent problem at Lake
Baikal (East Siberia), the most species-rich lake on Earth. Within the last 5 years, multiple …

1. This review summarises knowledge on the ecology, toxin production, and impacts of toxic
freshwater benthic cyanobacterial proliferations. It documents monitoring, management, and …

Cyanobacteria are an enormously diverse group of prokaryotes whose adaptive capacity
along with the ability to tolerate extreme conditions makes them omnipresent. They are …

The production of toxic metabolites by cyanobacterial blooms represents a significant threat
to the health of humans and ecosystems worldwide. Here we summarize the current state of …

Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous photosynthetic micro-organisms forming blooms and scums in
surface water; among them some species can produce cyanotoxins giving rise to some …
