Journal ArticleDOI
First report on cylindrospermopsin producing Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (Cyanobacteria) isolated from two German lakes.
TL;DR: Three single-filament isolates of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from two German lakes were found to produce remarkable amounts of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN).
Journal ArticleDOI
The abundance of microcystin-producing genotypes correlates positively with colony size in Microcystis sp. and determines its microcystin net production in Lake Wannsee.
TL;DR: It was concluded that the variations found in microcystin net production between colony size classes are chiefly due to differences in genotype composition and that the micro CystinNet production in the lake is mainly influenced by the abundance of the larger (>100-μm) microcyStin-producing colonies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of Microcystin-Producing and Non-Microcystin-Producing Microcystis sp. in European Freshwater Bodies: Detection of Microcystins and Microcystin Genes in Individual Colonies

TL;DR: It is concluded that the analysis of morphospecies is indicative for microcystin production, although the quantitative analysis of micro Cystin concentrations in water remains indispensable for hazard control.

Protecting Groundwater for Health: Managing the Quality of Drinking-water Sources
TL;DR: Protecting Groundwater for Health provides a structured approach to analysing hazards to groundwater quality, assessing the risk they may cause for a specific supply, setting priorities in addressing these, and developing management strategies for their control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cylindrospermopsin occurrence in two German lakes and preliminary assessment of toxicity and toxin production of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Cyanobacteria) isolates.
TL;DR: Results give strong evidence that the German isolates of C. raciborskii contain currently not identified or unknown toxins.
