Cyanobacteria, formerly called "blue-green algae", are simple, primitive photosynthetic microorganism wide occurrence in fresh, brackish and salt waters. Forty different genera of Cyanobacteria are known and many of them are producers of potent toxins responsible for a wide array of human illnesses, aquatic mammal and bird morbidity and mortality, and extensive fish kills. These cyanotoxins act as neurotoxins or hepatotoxins and are structurally and functionally diverse, and many are derived from unique biosynthetic pathways. All known cyanotoxins and their chemical and toxicological characteristics are presented in this article.
蓝藻细菌，以前被称为“蓝绿藻”，是简单、原始的光合微生物，广泛存在于淡水、微咸水和咸水中。已知有40个不同属的蓝藻细菌，其中许多是强效毒素的生产者，这些毒素会导致多种人类疾病、水生哺乳动物和鸟类发病及死亡，还会造成大量鱼类死亡。这些蓝藻毒素可作为神经毒素或肝毒素，在结构和功能上具有多样性，许多毒素源自独特的生物合成途径。本文介绍了所有已知的蓝藻毒素及其化学和毒理学特征。
