Many chemical contaminants in drinking water have been shown to cause adverse health effects in humans after prolonged exposure. Cyanobacteria are one of the most potent and diverse groups of photosynthetic prokaryotes. One key component of cyanobacterial success in the environment is the production of potent toxins as secondary metabolites, which have been responsible for numerous adverse health impacts in humans. Anthropogenic activities have led to the increase of eutrophication in freshwater bodies' worldwide, causing cyanobacterial blooms to become more frequent. The present article will discuss about harmful cyanobacteria and their toxicology with special references to microcystin, nodularin, and cylindrospermopsin.
已表明,饮用水中的许多化学污染物在长期接触后会对人类健康产生不良影响。蓝细菌是最具影响力和多样性的光合原核生物群体之一。蓝细菌在环境中成功生存的一个关键因素是产生强效毒素作为次生代谢产物,这些毒素已对人类健康造成了诸多不良影响。人为活动导致全球淡水水体富营养化加剧,使得蓝藻水华愈发频繁。本文将特别参考微囊藻毒素、节球藻毒素和柱孢藻毒素,探讨有害蓝细菌及其毒理学。
