Cyanobacteria are relevant components of phytoplankton and can be found in a large number of Brazilian reservoirs. Some species can produce potent toxins (eg.: microcystins, saxitoxin, cylindrospermopsin, anatoxin, among others) with distinct biological activities. Especially in eutrophic environments, these microorganisms can present a rapid growth, a phenomenon known as bloom, which can…
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic oxygenic microorganisms that belong to the Bacteria domain, and possess cosmopolitan distribution on Earth. Some species produce potent toxins (e.g., microcystins, saxitoxins, cylindrospermopsins, anatoxin-a, anatoxin-a(S), among others) elaborated by an enzymatic mechanism that is parallel to the protein synthesis. In biological terms, saxitoxins (STX) ar…
Secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria (e.g., cyanotoxins) are ranked among the most dangerous substances found in the surface water, and used by humans. However, many cyanopeptides present promising function and biological activities for pharmaceutical purposes, including enzyme inhibitors, antimicrobial agents, appetite suppressants, antimalarials, immunosuppressives and anti-t…
Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria in aquatic ecosystems from the northeastern region of Brazil are frequent due to their nutrient-enriched conditions coupled with high -temperature and -water residence time. Among the cyanotoxins reported recently in these water bodies are the widespread microcystins (MC) and cylindrospermopsins (CYN). As efforts are geared toward the prediction of the occurr…
