More than just an Eagle Killer: The freshwater cyanobacterium <i>Aetokthonos hydrillicola</i> produces highly toxic dolastatin derivatives
2023-04-13
Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacteria are infamous producers of toxins. While the toxic potential of planktic cyanobacterial blooms is well documented, the ecosystem level effects of toxigenic benthic and epiphytic cyanobacteria are an understudied threat. The freshwater epiphytic cyanobacterium Aetokthonos hydrillicola has recently been shown to produce the “eagle killer” neurotoxin aetokthonotoxin causing the fatal neurological diseas...
