Appendix 2: Cyanobacteria Associated With the Production of Cyanotoxins

Abstract

A large diversity of cyanobacteria is associated with the production of cyanotoxins. Appendix 2 reports an updated list of cyanobacterial species or genera: (i) producing toxin from isolated strains or (ii) suspected to produce toxins, based on data obtained from environmental samples (Table Appendix.1). The original species names assigned (or successively modified) by the indicated authors have been updated following the more recent changes in the taxonomic literature. A selected list of papers describing the presence of different cyanotoxins measured in samples containing cyanobacterial assemblages was also listed (Table Appendix.2).
