چکیده

the presence of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) is a significant indicator of water quality,having in mind that several genera have the quality of producing cyanotoxins, which are harmful to animals,plants and humans. seven lakes in vojvodina (republic of serbia) were examined in may and september 2007 for cyanobacterial presence and cyanotoxins content, chl a concentration and index of phosphatase activity as the indicators of water quality. in the spring period, cyanobacteria species were not dominant in only 2 of 14 water samples. microcystins were detected in all of the lakes examined. the concentrations of microcystins ranged from 6.66 μg/l (provala lake) to 199.9 and 238 μg/l (palić and ludaš lake respectively).the investigations conducted on 7 water ecosystems in vojvodina, regarding the basic parameters of eutrophication, chl a concentration and phosphatase activity index, have rendered the examined ecosystems immensely endangered due to significant water quality deterioration. it was determined that the intensification of eutrophication processes has been linked to the increased presence and abundance of cyanobacteria as well as significant toxin production.

Toxins produced in cyanobacterial water blooms – toxicity and risks

Cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters represent a major ecological and human health problem worldwide. This paper briefly summarizes information on major cyanobacterial toxins (hepatotoxins, neurotoxins etc.) with special attention to microcystins-cyclic heptapeptides with high acute and chronic toxicities. Besides discussion of human health risks, microcystin ecotoxicology and consequent ecolog...

The dual role of nitrogen supply in controlling the growth and toxicity of cyanobacterial blooms.

Historically, phosphorus (P) has been considered the primary limiting nutrient for phytoplankton assemblages in freshwater ecosystems. This review, supported by new findings from Lake Erie, highlights recent molecular, laboratory, and field evidence that the growth and toxicity of some non-diazotrophic blooms of cyanobacteria can be controlled by nitrogen (N). Cyanobacteria such as Microcystis ...
