Aphanizomenon flos-aquae
From Black Sea Phytoplankton checklist
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (Linnaeus) Ralfs ex Bornet & Flahault, 1888
= Anabaena flos-aquae (Lyngbye) Brébisson ex Bornet & Flauhault, 1886 (mentioned for the Black Sea)
Classification
Bacteria (Kingdom) > Cyanobacteria (Phylum) > Cyanophyceae (Class) > Nostocales (Order) > Nostocaceae (Family) > Aphanizomenon (Genus)
WoRMS: 248099
Properties
Environment: marine
Harmful effect: Toxins are the potent neuromuscular blocking alkaloid anatoxin - a, several of the paralytic shellfish poisons (PSP), the anticholinesterase organic phosphate anatoxin - a(s) and the hepatotoxic cyclic peptide microcystins.
