Global expansion of toxic and non-toxic cyanobacteria: effect on ecosystem functioning (2015, background): “Heterotrophic bacteria that degrade microcystins and cylindrospermopsin have been found in the water column (Cousins et al. 1996; Christoffersen et al. 2002; Mohamed and Alamri 2012) and in sediments (Holst et al. 2003).”
Allelopathic effect on a nutrient-limited phytoplankton species (2005, background): “N and –P. Allelochemicals may be removed from the system by degradation (e.g. by light reactions or bacteria degradation), as occurs for some microalgal toxins (Reich & Parnas 1962, Christoffersen et al. 2002), or by, for example, binding to cell membranes (Tillmann 2003).”
Plankton food web structure in a eutrophic polymictic lake with a history of toxic cyanobacterial blooms (2006, background): “The present study contributes to the understanding of the possible effects of toxic cyanobacteria on plankton food web structure at the ecosystem level, an issue that has recently been the focus of intensive research (Christoffersen 1996; Christoffersen et al. 2002; Engström-Öst et al. 2002).”
Harmful Cyanobacterial Blooms: Causes, Consequences, and Controls (2013, background): “addition, many CyanoHABs produce toxic secondary metabolites which can cause serious, acute intoxication in mammals (including humans) affecting the hepatopancreatic, digestive, endocrine, dermal, and nervous systems [14, 17, 19] (Table 1).”
