The relationship between oxidative stress and cyanotoxin production in cyanobacteria
Can we increase the ability of cyanobacteria to tolerate environmental changes and limit the toxin production during cyanobacterial blooms?
Our research project
Can we increase the ability of cyanobacteria to tolerate environmental changes and therefore limit the toxin production during cyanobacterial blooms? We strongly believe that the system focused investigations of ROS tolerance in cyanobacteria will be of importance for the understanding of the impact of ROS to cyanotoxin production and physiology of cyanobacterial strains during the bloom cycle.
The study will provide new knowledge and tools for cyanotoxin control and bloom management. Furthermore this awareness will also be beneficial for the nontoxic blue-green algae yield that could be directly used as biomass for food, feed and fuels.
