Cyanobacteria proliferate rapidly in eutrophic environments and may be able to synthesize toxins that block water resources use. The cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa is widely distributed, being a potential producer ...

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms have been long recognized as one of the most severe problems in freshwater systems. Recently, their frequency and duration have been increasing. This is the scenario for many semiarid ...

Microcystis aeruginosa is the one of the species of cyanobacteria that participates in the degradation of water bodies in harmful blooms. Submerged aquatic macrophyte species may present allelopathic strategies for ...

Increasing urbanization rate with untreated sewage discharge in aquatic ecosystems, and the increased use of fertilizers for agricultural development are causes of the acceleration of cyanobacterial bloom in water fountains ...

Nutrient inputs leads to more frequent algal blooms in water supply reservoir which causes operational problems in water treatment plants due to high density of cells, aside from complications induced by its capacity of ...

Cyanobacterial blooms have become a global concern, pointing out the need to develop new treatment technologies capable of inactivating the cells and degrade the cyanobacteria toxins. Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP), ...

Las proliferaciones masivas de cianobacterias son comunes en cuerpos de agua superficial en todo el mundo, siendo causantes de efectos adversos en ecosistemas acuáticos y la salud pública. Numerosas son las especies que ...

Cyanobacteria are microorganisms able to produce substances with high biological and biotechnological potential. These substances may cause disorders because of the toxins or may be composed by beneficial substances such ...

Cyanobacterial blooms are easily found, due to the increasing nutrient supply in natural and artificial bodies of water, caused by the accelerated processes of eutrophication, fruits of urban and rural occupation without ...

The eutrophication affects many reservoirs of water, causing problems, specially the commitment of operational and water quality for the population. Some water treatment technologies go through a process of improvement and ...
