Cyanobacteria are globally important primary producers that may alter components of their habitats, such as the density of competitors or predators or the availability of critical nutrients, by synthesizing natural products. Toxic as well as non-toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a rich source of metabolites possessing a variety of biological activities. They are ready available because of their fast growth and the ability to form dense almost monospecific aggregations. Here we describe several toxic and non-toxic cyanobacterial metabolites and their activities.
