Anabaena

(an'ă-bē'nă),
A genus of Cyanobacteria found in fresh water that can cause odor in water supplies; although not invasive pathogens, they produce potent saxitoxinlike neurotoxins that can poison farm animals that ingest heavily infected pond water.

Anabaena

A genus of filamentous cyanobacteria which form colonies of plankton that are capable of nitrogen fixation. Anabaena is ecologically important in wet tropical soils and is symbiotic with the mosquito fern Azolla.

In Europe, the most common cyanobacteria gena are Microcystis, Anabaena, Aphanizomenon, Oscillatoria, Nodularia and Nostoc.
Unknown species of cyanobacteria, which are photosynthetic (Anabaena shown).
It was discovered that the bioactive metabolites of Brevibacillus laterosporus, B117, had a statistically significant algicidal effect on cyanobacteria (Anabaena sp., Nostoc, Microcystis) that could also interfere with the normal operation of the photosynthetic component in the electron transport chain receptor binding domain, belonging to photosynthesis II; in addition, the bioactive metabolites degraded phycobilin and altered the organization structure of algal cells [27].
This procedure also allowed determining the species that contribute to this dissimilarity; they are Coscinodiscus sp., Nitzshoides sp., Chaetoceros sp., Anabaena sp., Gyrodinium sp., Biddulphia sp., Striatella unipunctata, Thalassiosira sp., Leptocylindrus sp., and Scrippsiella sp.
