Previous studies indicated that teratogenic polymethoxy-1-alkenes (PMAs) are produced by phylogenetically diverse cyanobacteria taxa, however corresponding studies on the occurrence of PMAs in European cyanobacteria are lacking. Herein, the presence of PMAs in strains of Raphidiopsis raciborskii and Aphanizomenon gracile isolated from surface waters in Poland was studied using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. No PMAs were detected in any of the strains investigated, indicating that production of these compounds may be geographically diversified. Further studies are necessary to elucidate mechanisms of cyanobacterial PMAs synthesis.

In comparison with the middle- and high-latitude regions, the low-latitude regions are less associated with the occurrence of 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) episodes, since most of the previously identified MIB producers favor moderate/low light/temperature conditions. Here, we report a serious MIB outbreak over the period from Jul. 2018 to Jun.

Toxic cyanobacteria blooms are a frequent problem in subtropical reservoirs and freshwater systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of potentially toxic cyanobacteria and the environmental conditions associated with the presence of cyanotoxins in a Brazilian subtropical reservoir. Five collections were carried out at seven sampling locations in the reservoir, during the rainy and dry seasons, between the years 2016 and 2017.

Cyanobacterial blooms constitute a recognized danger to aquatic environment and public health not only due to presence of main group of cyanotoxins, such as microcystins, cylindrospermopsin or anatoxin-a, but also other emerging bioactivities. An innovative approach identifying such bioactivities is the application of cellular biosensors based on reporter genes which detect the impact of cyanobacterial cells and components on actual human cells in a physiological-like setting. In the present study biosensor cell lines detecting four different types of bioactivities (ARE - oxidative stress, NFKBRE - immunomodulatory pathogen-associated molecular patterns, AHRE - persistent organic pollutants, GRE - endocrine disruptors) were exposed to concentrated cyanobacterial cells from 21 environmental bloom samples and from eight cultures (Microcystis aeruginosa, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, Planktothrix agardhii and Raphidiopsis raciborskii).

Due to anthropogenic activities, associated with climate change, many freshwater ecosystems are expected to experience an increase in salinity. This phenomenon is predicted to favor the development and expansion of freshwater cyanobacteria towards brackish waters due to their transfer along the estuarine freshwater-marine continuum. Since freshwater cyanobacteria are known to produce toxins, this represents a serious threat for animal and human health.

The global increase in cyanobacterial blooms poses environmental and health threats. Selected cyanobacterial strains reveal toxicities despite a lack of synthesis of known toxic metabolites, and the mechanisms of these toxicities are not well understood. Here we investigated the toxicity of non-cylindrospermopsin and non-microcystin producing Aphanizomenon gracile and Raphidiopsis raciborskii of Central European origin to zebrafish exposed for 14 days to their extracts.
