摘要: Cyanobacteria are recognised globally as a human health threat due to their proliferation into toxic blooms. Of particular concern strains that produce the hepatotoxins, microcystin and nodularin. Research over past decade has revealed biochemical molecular mechanisms behind hepatotoxin production. However, there is still much learn regarding regulation of these biologically active metabolites. This review provides an overview cyanobacterial research date additionally, elaborates on putative involvement nitrogen iron homeostatic in cyanotoxin regulation.
