Biomagnification of cyanobacterial neurotoxins and neurodegenerative disease among the Chamorro people of Guam (2003, background): “Other nonprotein amino acids, but not BMAA, have been identified in cyanobacteria (9).”
Cyanobacterial peptides - nature's own combinatorial biosynthesis. (2006, background): “Today, it is of no surprise when microcystins are detected in field samples containing Microcystis, Planktothrix, Anabaena, or Nostoc, independent of the geographical origin of the samples (Chorus & Bartram, 1999).”
Allelopathic inhibition of phytoplankton by exudates from Stratiotes aloides (2005, background): “These four strains occur regularly in meso- to eutrophic habitats (Chorus and Bartram, 1999; Krienitz et al., 2000; Naselli-Flores and Barone, 2000), and may therefore interact with S. aloides.”
Diverse taxa of cyanobacteria produce beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine, a neurotoxic amino acid. (2005, background): “In contrast, production of the cyclic pentapeptide nodularins appears to be limited to Nodularia among the free-living cyanobacterial genera, with indications of nodularin production by cyanobacterial symbionts in a sponge (2).”
