1. Stability Analyses by HPLC-MS of Guanitoxin Isolated from Sphaerospermopsis torques-reginae
Guanitoxin (GNT) is a natural organophosphate produced by some species of freshwater cyanobacteria, which inhibits the active site of acetylcholinesterase, preventing the hydrolysis of cholinesterases and consequently causing serious disturbances in the neuromuscular system. Despite having a chemical structure like synthetic organophosphates, there is still

2. Soft-bodied benthic algae in pristine Brazilian streams: from acid to karst
ABSTRACT This study evaluated soft-bodied benthic algae from seven streams located in protected areas of central Brazil (Parque Nacional de Brasília, Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros and Parque Estadual de Terra Ronca), and related them to abiotic factors. We addressed the following questions: A) how algal community structure in Cerrado streams is i

3. Behavioral alterations induced by repeated saxitoxin exposure in drinking water
Abstract Background Blooms of the saxitoxin-producing cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii have been contaminating drinking water reservoirs in Brazil for many years. Although acute effects of saxitoxin intoxication are well known, chronic deleterious outcomes caused by repeated saxitoxin exposure still require further investigation. The aim of th

4. Morpho-physiological responses of a subtropical strain of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Cyanobacteria) to different light intensities
ABSTRACT The toxigenic cyanobacterium Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii previously restricted to tropical latitudes, has been increasingly reported in temperate lakes in recent decades. The causes of its biogeographical expansion are under investigation, but efficient physiological adaptation to changes in temperature and light regimes are likely to be involved

5. Considerations regarding the dominance of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii under low light availability in a low phosphorus lake
ABSTRACTAlthough many studies have shown that the dispersion, increased abundance and dominance of cyanobacteria can be attributed to nutrient enrichment, we discuss features contributing to the dominance of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii in a shallow, polymictic, subtropical coastal lake with low phosphorus and light limitation (Peri Lake). The presence and

6. Production of phycobiliproteins by Arthrospira platensis under different lightconditions for application in food products
There has been an increase in investment in research on new sources of natural pigments for food application. Some cyanobacteria can change the structures responsible for light harvesting and cellular processes according to the wavelength and light intensity. This phenomenon has been described as complementary chromatic adaptation. The present study aimed

7. Role of Light and Dark Cycle and Different Temperatures in the Regulation of Growth and Protein Expression in Oscillatoria agardhii Strain
The cyanobacterium Oscillatoria agardhii was isolated from the fresh water Mawatha lake, Jaipur and was grown in Zarrouk's medium at 25 ± 2°C, illuminated with white fluorescent light at the intensity of 2 500 lux with 12:12 h light and dark photoperiod. The effects of photoperiod and temperature on the growth and protein expression by Oscillatoria agardhi

8. Avaliação da utilização do dióxido de carbono proveniente da fermentação alcoólica no cultivo de Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis: uso simultâneo de nitrato de sódio e sulfato de amônio como fontes de nitrogênio em fotobiorreator aberto / Evaluation of the use of carbon dioxide from alcoholic fermentation on Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis cultivation: simultaneous use of sodium nitrate and ammonium sulphate as nitrogen sources in open photobioreactor
The main objective of this work was the evaluation of the potential of using carbon dioxide from alcoholic fermentation on Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis cultivation, aiming to prove the feasibility of applying an effluent gas in the production of high added-value microbial biomass. In order to do so, the cyanobacterium was cultivated in laboratorial-scal

9. Fresh pasta production enriched with Spirulina platensis biomass
The aim of this work was to study the enrichment of Spirulina platensis in wheat flour to prepare fresh pasta to evaluate the green color and nutritional enrichment in addition to functional properties due to the presence of the bioactive compounds in the cyanobacterium. The pastas were evaluated for the centesimal composition, microbiological contamination,

10. Microcystin-XR degradation by bacteria isolated from public water supply system / Degradação da microcistina-XR por bactérias isoladas de sistema de abastecimento público de água
Microcystins are potent hepatotoxins and tumor promoters found in freshwaters that cause public health risks and thus represent a serious problem for water treatment plants. The cyanobacterium genus Microcystis is the most known toxin-producer and the most common bloom-forming in water reservoirs used for public supply. However, some bacteria are able to use

11. The inhibitory effect of calcium on Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (cyanobacteria) metabolism
Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Woloszynska) Seenaya & Subba Raju is a freshwater cyanobacterium of worldwide distribution. In the North-eastern region of Brazil many eutrophic water reservoirs are characterized by the dominance of C. raciborskii, with recurrent occurrence of blooms. These water bodies have high conductivity due to a high ionic concentration

12. Growth and biopigment accumulation of cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis at different light intensities and temperature
In order to find out optimum culture condition for algal growth, the effect of light irradiance and temperature on growth rate, biomass composition and pigment production of Spirulina platensis were studied in axenic batch cultures. Growth kinetics of cultures showed a wide range of temperature tolerance from 20 ºC to 40 ºC. Maximum growth rate, cell produ
