Reference BookDOI
Toxic cyanobacteria in water: a guide to their public health consequences, monitoring and management.
Ingrid Chorus,Jamie Bartram +1 more
TL;DR: The state of knowledge regarding the principal considerations in the design of programmes and studies for monitoring water resources and supplies and describes the approaches and procedures used as mentioned in this paper, and the information needed for protecting drinking water sources and recreational water bodies from the health hazards caused by cyanobacteria and their toxins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rise of harmful cyanobacteria blooms: The potential roles of eutrophication and climate change
TL;DR: A review of the relationship between eutrophication, climate change and cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems can be found in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial toxins: removal during drinking water treatment, and human risk assessment.
TL;DR: Chlorination, possibly micro-/ultrafiltration, but especially ozonation are the most effective in destroying cyanobacteria and in removing microcystins, however, these treatments may not be sufficient during bloom situations or when a high organic load is present, and toxin levels should therefore be monitored during the water treatment process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanotoxins: producing organisms, occurrence, toxicity, mechanism of action and human health toxicological risk evaluation
Franca M. Buratti,Maura Manganelli,Susanna Vichi,Mara Stefanelli,Simona Scardala,Emanuela Testai,Enzo Funari +6 more
TL;DR: The properties of the most frequently detected cyanotoxins (namely, microcystins, nodularins, cylindrospermopsin and neurotoxins) are reviewed, describing for each toxin the available information on producing organisms, biosynthesis/genetic and occurrence with a focus on the toxicological profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light and the transcriptional response of the microcystin biosynthesis gene cluster.
TL;DR: The findings show that the effect of light on microcystin synthetase production is due to light quality and is initiated at certain threshold intensities, which are not necessarily reflected by observed intracellular toxin bioactivity.
