The cyanotoxin-microcystins: current overview (2014, background): “bacterium Arthrospira fusiformis strain AB2002/02, isolated from alkaline Kenyan Crater Lake Sonachi was found to produce MC-YR and anatoxin-a (Ballot et al. 2005). Kotut et al. (2006) have reported toxin producing cyanobacteria in 12 water bodies in Kenya with considerable levels of MCs and anatoxi”
FIRST REPORT OF THE CYANOTOXIN ANATOXIN‐A FROM APHANIZOMENON ISSATSCHENKOI (CYANOBACTERIA) 1 (2007, background): “…analyze water for the presence of anatoxin-a, which has led to a recent increase in the number of species known to produce anatoxin-a, including R. mediterranea (Namikoshi et al. 2003), P. favosum (Gugger et al. 2005a), P. rubescens (Viaggiu et al. 2004), and A. fusiformis (Ballot et al. 2005).”
Tropical cyanobacterial blooms: a review of prevalence, problem taxa, toxins and influencing environmental factors (2014, background): “The second most encountered toxin in Africa was anatoxin, produced by blooms of Anabaenopsis, Arthrospira and Anabaena species (Ballot et al., 2005; Odokuma and Isirima, 2007).”
Toxic : cyanobacterial monitoring and cyanotoxin analysis (2005, methodology): “The interventions range from catchment or basin-level, to in-lake and water treatment methods (9, 10).”
