We have used serial filtration to isolate picocyanobacteria from brackish and marine microhabitats for analysis. We used 16s metabarcoding to confirm the picocyanobacteria as members of the Order Synechococcales, Genu...

Cyanobacteria can produce cyanotoxins such as microcystin-LR(MC),saxitoxin(STX),and anatoxin-a(ANTX-a)which are harmful to humans and other animals.Individual removal efficiencies of STX and ANTX-a by powdered activat...
Cyanotoxins are chemical compounds produced by cyanobacterial mats grown in aquatic ecosystems. These may threaten human health and aquatic organisms. Extraction of these toxins is usually associated with many difficu...

Harmful algal blooms(HABs)that are formed by cyanobacteria have become a serious issue worldwide in recent years.Cyanobacteria can release a type of secondary metabolites called cyanotoxins into aquatic systems which ...
Alosa pseudoharengus is an anadromous fish that migrates from marine to freshwaters to spawn. The early larval and juvenile forms are known to be pla...
Cyanotoxins produced by cyanobacteria pose significant challenges to water resource management due to the potential impacts they have on human health. Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) and microcystins (MC) are the more common...
The 10^(th) International Conference on toxic cyanobacteria(ICTC-10)was successfully held during 23–28 Oct.2016.We were so glad to see much progress made on toxic cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins during past years,and t...
