Allelopathic activity of Cyanobacteria has attracted the attention of researchers. A deep understanding of allelopathy can answer the successions of cyanobacteria in natural habitat.There is a global concern regarding increased harmful algal blooms and allelopathy can be a possible factor in the dominance of toxin-production by cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are producers of diverse range of allelochemicals. The active compounds are seen as environment-friendly herbicides or biocontrol agents that might have a potential commercial significance. Allelopathy is an unique adaptation to...

Toxicogenomics endeavours to elucidate molecular mechanisms evolved in the expression of toxicity, and to derive molecular expression patterns that predict toxicity. Cyanotoxins are produced by several genera of cyanobacteria such as Microcystis, Anabaena, Nostoc, Oscillatoria, Cylindrospermum, Aphanizomenon and Nodularia. Hepatotoxin is a toxic chemical substance produced within the cell and released in the surrounding water after cell death. These toxins damage the hepatocytes of the liver thus owe their name. Death occurs in few hours to few days after initial exposure due to intrahepatic...
