Vice versa, a large range of metabolites is found in cyanobacteria, many of which show some enzyme inhibition or other effects if tested in vitro, but whose effect on entire cells, tissues or organisms has not yet been investigated.
While possibly the known cyanotoxins (see cyanotoxin overview) comprise those most important to human health, hazard assessment should include consideration of further effects of cyanobacteria – i.e.
Validation of assumptions based on microcystin monitoring may therefore be critical to ensure safety of water for human use.
