Abstract
Cyanotoxins problems have puzzled researchers for the last century because of odor issues, decreased water purity, aquatic animal death due to toxicity of cyanotoxins, and many more things. Cylindrospermopsis sp. is also one such freshwater planktonic cyanobacteria responsible for producing acute and chronic toxic effects in many countries. Hence, it is essential to isolate and purify the Cylindrospermopsis sp. from its natural habit and to study its morphology and chemical compounds responsible for toxicity effects on the environment in a laboratory condition (in vitro), so to isolate this cyanobacterium, certain methods and tools are required which are described in this chapter. And also, this chapter is focused on cyanotoxins produced by this species and their effects on the environment and animals.
