This advanced education course on #toxic #cyanobacteria ranges from understanding #morphology, #genetics and chemical toxin #analysis with examples of Swiss case studies! 29. June @eawag.bsky.social

#Publication: "Curation of #MassSpectrometry #ReferenceData for Improved Identification and #Dereplication of #Cyanobacterial Specialized #Metabolites" in Journal of #NaturalProducts #OpenAccess 2905 highly curated reference spectra of 150 metabolites now in #Massbank doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Our highlight review on recently isolated cyanobacterial metabolites is out @natprodreports.rsc.org !🥳 Covers isolation, structure elucidation (analytical techniques, biosynthesis and total synthesis). Great work with @elisabethjanssen.bsky.social! @chem.uzh.ch pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Excited to share work by @xuejianwang.bsky.social where we provide biotransformation kinetics of cyanopeptides beyond #microcystins, influence of initial #toxins & bacteria, #transformation products & pathways!#cyanobacteria research done at @eawag.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Excited to share work by J. Oliveira, and collaborators on our discovery of genetic & metabolic #biodiversity of #cyanobacteria at the rock–water interface #tintenstrich #cyanolichen in mountains! Done at #WSL and #Eawag through the Blue Green Biodiversity Initiative. doi.org/10.1021/acs....

the ideology behind current decisions

An exciting #ICTC13 program is out ! Overall 108 oral presentations, 10 keynote/invited lectures, 124 posters, a cyano-metabolomics workshop, + lots of social activities. Still time to register and experience the wildest cyanobacteria happening after the Great Oxygenation Event. 😜 www.ictc13.gr

There is no magic formula which toxins are expected with #cyanobacteria but the #microcystins and #anabaenopeptins we identified as indicators for different species in Lake Greifensee in a 5-year study seem to apply to many lakes in Switzerland.
