Key Points

This research aims to analyze the variation in cyanobacterial secondary metabolites during harmful algal bloom events in shallow lakes.
Investigated spatial and temporal variations of metabolite mixtures during bloom events.
Conducted analyses of water samples from various agroecosystem lakes.
Examined the potential health risks associated with the detected metabolites.
Identified significant variations in metabolite mixtures across different locations during blooms.
Notable correlation between the presence of specific metabolites and bloom intensity was observed.
Highlighted the need for monitoring these metabolites to protect public health.

Implication

Assesses cyanobacterial metabolites in lakes during harmful algal blooms, indicating potential health risks.

Abstract

Freshwater harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose significant health risks to communities through drinking water sources and contact recreation. Cyanobacteria that drive HABs produce a complex array of secondary metabolites, notably...
