More than 200 scientists 94 institutions 369 lakes 26 countries across #Europe This is the biggest #cyanotoxin and #cyanobacteria survey in Europe and the 3rd paper is out in @aslo_org #ASLO_LO Journal! #cyanolab was proud to participate in this project! aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln…

Just out! #cyanolab is excited to publish five new genera and nine new species of #cyanobacteria from various habitats across Europe! We also report for the first time the widespread production of HCN by cyanobacteria amongst different taxa and habitats. authors.elsevier.com/a/1duep3m3nN2c…

Just out! In collaboration with @helsinkiuni, a genus-wide #marine #cyanobacteria comparative genomic analysis showed that despite genome reduction in sponge-associated Leptothoe, stains harbored biosynthetic gene clusters encoding novel natural products! mdpi.com/1660-3397/19/6…

Tomorrow January 21at 11.00 (EET) the doctoral candidate of @BiologyAuth, @Konstantinou_de will publicly support her PhD thesis: “Sponges and #cyanobacteria symbiotic relationships in the North Aegean Sea”. You can watch live through live-streaming link: it.auth.gr/el/node/1462

2020 has been a difficult year for all scientists and yet a year which made clear that the world cannot survive without science. Despite the struggle, #cyanolab published, traveled and much more! Thank you for being a part of it. We wish and work for a better year to come!

#cyanolab is excited to publish five (!) new genera and eight new species of marine #cyanobacteria from the Aegean sea: We give the new genera Rhodoploca, Cymatolege, Metis, Aegeococcus, and Thalassoporum. #Biodiversity See more: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper in Elsevier/Toxicon from #cyanolab by Y. Vergou, @MariaTouraki, Aik. Paraskeuopoulou, @t_triantis, @AnastasiaHiskia and @northaura (Spyros Gkelis). Our findings give some insights on the possible biological role of neurotoxic BMAA! #cyanobacteria sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

First report of microcystin-LR affecting the plant F-actin #cytoskeleton and effects of #cyanobacteria bioactive compounds on plant cell. New #cyanolab paper by D. Pappas (@bota_nyet), S. Gkelis (northaura), E. Panteris out now in Wiley's Plant Biology! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

First report of #microcystins affecting the plant F-actin cytoskeleton, by D. Pappas, S. Gkelis and E. Panteris. The preprint is available in @biorxivpreprint. #cyanolab #cyanobacteria #cyanotoxins #cytoskeleton #rice Check out the preprint and comment! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new paper "Bioprospecting Sponge-Associated #Marine #Cyanobacteria to Produce Bioactive Compounds" is out in @MDPIOpenAccess Toxins! mdpi.com/624652

Last week @CyanoLabAuth AUTH (@northaura, Despoina Konstantinou, @ManthosPanou, @ULortou) and our collaborator Dr. Ioannis Chronis were on the hunt, sampling 7 different waterbodies for the @FunAqua_EE project, guided from @KristelPanksep! #cyanolab

Check out our new publication "Polyphasic taxonomy of green algae strains isolated from Mediterranean freshwaters" by @ULortou and @northaura published in @BioMedCentral Journal of Biological Research. This research is part of our work for @CBioproducts! doi.org/10.1186/s40709…

@CBioproducts in full gear! The 1st year annual meeting took place in the National Hellenic Research Foundation, including all partners (National Hellenic Research Foundation, @CyanoLabAuth AUTH, NCSR "DEMOKRITOS", Technical university of Crete, National University of Athens)

Who said #cyanobacteria are only dangerous? We report new diversity and interesting anti-microbial and cytotoxic activities against cancer cell lines! Α new #cyanolab paper by @northaura (Spyros Gkelis) @ManthosPanou @t_kaloudis et al #algae mdpi.com/2072-6651/11/8…

We are not shy anymore. @CBioproducts unveiled from Dr. Spyros Gkelis (@northaura) in #Eualgae final conference in Madrid.

We 've got a new website! Pay a visit and learn everything about CO2-bioproducts project! #CO2BioProducts co2-bioproducts.gr/?fbclid=IwAR0q…

Congrats!! @CyanoLabAuth ❤️❤️

new paper from #cyanolab Taxonomic revision of commercially used Arthrospira (#Cyanobacteria) strains: a polyphasic approach #algae #spirulina tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

#cyanolab PhD student Despoina Konstantinou presenting her paper on the "preliminary assessment on the potential of sponge-associated cyanobacteria to produce bioactive compounds". Many thanks to our great collaborators from NCSR "DEMOKRITOS" @AnastasiaHiskia @sevastiZ #ICTC11

a #cyanolab paper!
