Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cyanobacteria, commonly found in aquatic environments, can rapidly proliferate and form so-called CyanoHABs (cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms), compromising water quality and safety due to, among others, the production of toxic compounds named cyanotoxins or cyanobacterial toxins. CyanoHABS occur with increasing frequency, probably due to eutrophication and global climate change influences, representing a human, environmental, and ecological health concern.
This Special Issue is focused on up-to-date findings or reviews on all areas of the chemistry, molecular biology, toxicology, methods of identification or detection, accumulation and remediation of cyanobacterial toxins, including monitoring and managing strategies and understanding of the ecological and public health impact of these toxins’ production
