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

This review provides an in-depth survey of the recorded incidences in aquatic organisms of
mortality and disease events suspected or known to be caused by microalgal or ciliate …

Cyanobacteria are one of the most diverse groups of gram-negative photosynthetic
prokaryotes. Many of them are able to produce a wide range of toxic secondary metabolites …

Cyanobacteria possess many adaptations to develop population maxima or “blooms” in
lakes and reservoirs. A potential consequence of freshwater blooms of many cyanobacterial …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses cytoxins. The toxins of cyanobacteria are divided
into two main categories based on the type of bioassay used to screen for their activity …

Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxic heptapeptides released into water during or on
senescence of cyanobacterial blooms. This review details the different effects of the MCs on …

Des anodontes du Nord (Anodonta grandis simpsoniana) exposés à 51-55 µg⊙ L-1 de
microcystine-LR (MC-LR) dissoute en laboratoire pendant 3 jours n'ont pas accumulé des …

Increased demand has pushed extensive aquaculture towards intensively operated
production systems, commonly resulting in eutrophic conditions and cyanobacterial blooms …

All of the most commonly encountered genera of cyanobacteria which form blooms and
scums in freshbrackish-and marine waters include members capable of producing potent …

Mass developments of cyanobacteria (“blue‐green algae”) in lakes and brackish waters
have repeatedly led to serious concerns due to their frequent association with toxins. Among …
