چکیده
Unpredictable poisonings of livestock and wildlife by waterblooms or scums of freshwater cyanophytes (cyanobacteria) occur when toxic strains of the common spe.cies dominate composition sufficiently to provide above-threshold levels of phycótoxins by susceptible animals. Known phycotoxins from freshwater cyanophytes are alkaloids, polypeptides or pteridines. New toxins produced by new strains have been described recently. Freshwater cyanophyte waterblooms can cause allergic reactions and, in water supplies, are suspected of causing outbreaks of human gastroenteritis. The structures of dermatitis-producing and non-dermatitis-producing phycotoxins from species of marine cyanophytes have been reported recently.

متن کاملStudy of soil blue-green algae and their effect on seed germination and plant growth of vegetable crops
Nitrogen fixation blue-green algae make a major contribution to the fertility of soil. It has been suggested that blue-green algae (BGA) assist higher plant growth by supplying growth substances. There are numerous works about roles of blue-green algae in paddy soils and rice growth but little on other plants. In this research, 19 morphospecies belonging to three families of heterocystous and n...
متن کاملReport blue-green algae from the southern coast of the Caspian Sea (City of Noor)
The blue green algae as photosynthetic organisms have a main effect on life and productivity of the aquatic ecosystems. Intensive and longtime studies on identification, distribution, and diversity of Cyanophyta have to be a crucial task in the Caspian Sea. Four transects were determined parallel to the Sabzehrud River, the Lavij River, the Noor River, and the Faculty of Marine Sciences of Tarb...
متن کاملA taxonomic study of blue-green algae based on morphological, physiological and molecular characterization in Yazd province terrestrial ecosystems (Iran)
Based on the limited resources available to algal flora in Yazd province in the center of Iran, cultivation, purification and identification of soil algae from seven sites was performed in summer 2013. The soil samples were processed for analysis of Cd, Pb contents. The present paper attempts to analyze survey of soil blue-green algal identification in different types of stations, using morphol...
