Harmful Cyanobacteria

Several cyanobacterial species can produce powerful toxins that provide a serious threat for water quality, other aquatic organisms, and human health. These harmful cyanobacteria are especially prominent in freshwater ecosystems, and are a major concern for water managers.

From a scientific perspective, there are many recent advances in this research area:

- Owing to the scientific revolution in genomics, new molecular techniques have been developed that enable the detection of toxic cyan...
