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!

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. https://t.co/f3SAfRYIp6

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! https://t.co/URhGOAdBI1

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”.

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 AUTH @CyanoLabAuth]

#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.

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

[CyanoLab AUTH @CyanoLabAuth]

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!

[CO2 BioProducts @CBioproducts]

@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)

[CyanoLab AUTH @CyanoLabAuth]

Who said #cyanobacteria are only dangerous? We report new diversity and interesting anti-microbial and cytotoxic activities against cancer cell lines!
