The Presence of Toxic and Non-toxic Cyanobacteria in the Sediments of the Limpopo River Basin: Implications for Human Health

2018-05-10

Abstract excerpt

The presence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and cyanotoxins in drinking water sources poses a great threat to human health. The current study employed molecular techniques to determine the occurrence of non-toxic and toxic cyanobacteria species in the Limpopo River basin based on the phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene. The bottom sediments samples were collected from selected rivers: Limpopo, Crocodile, Mokolo...
