Bloom-forming cyanobacteria Planktothrix agardhii and P. rubescens are regularly involved
in the occurrence of cyanotoxin in lakes and reservoirs. Besides microcystins (MCs), which …

Nutrient over-enrichment in freshwater environments, together with the on-going climate
change, favour the toxin-producing cyanobacteria bloom. Human health hazard may arise …

Cyanobacteria are found in almost every aquatic ecosystem. Yet their presence does not
automatically pose a risk to public health. Whether or not toxins reach health-relevant …

A large diversity of cyanobacteria is associated with the production of cyanotoxins. Appendix
2 reports an updated list of cyanobacterial species or genera:(i) producing toxin from …

The risk of human exposure to cyanotoxins is partially influenced by the location of toxin-
producing cyanobacteria in waterbodies. Cyanotoxin production can occur throughout the …

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the largest lakes south of the Alps (Garda, Iseo, Como and
Maggiore) showed a progressive colonization of Dolichospermum lemmermannii …

This work allowed assessing a widespread occurrence of Tychonema bourrellyi in the
largest lakes south of the Alps (Garda, Iseo, Como and Maggiore). The taxonomy of the …

The aim of our study was to evaluate the abundance of cyanobacteria and microcystins in
four Sardinian reservoirs (Italy) characterised by different trophic status to define a reference …

Microcystis is a bloom-forming genus of cyanobacteria with some genotypes that produce
highly toxic microcystin hepatotoxins. In waterbodies where biological and physical factors …

Euglena sanguinea is known to produce the alkaloid toxin euglenophycin and is known to
cause fish kills and inhibit mammalian tissue and microalgal culture growth. An analysis of …
