In western cultures, certain cyanobacteria have beenan accepted source of microalgal biomass for food forabout 30 years, in particular Spirulina(Arthrospira) platensis and S. maxima. Beginning in the early 1980s, another species, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae was adopted for similaruses. This is harvested from Upper Klamath Lake, thelargest freshwater lake system in Oregon. In 1998 theannual commercial production of Aphanizomenonflos-aquae was about 1 × 106 kg. Since thisspecies is not cultured like…

MASS CULTURE OF APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUAE RALFS EX BORN. AND FLAH. VAR. FLOS-AQUAE (CYANOBACTERIA) FROM KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON, USA, IN CLOSED CHAMBER BIOREACTORS.
TLDR
CT growth medium when supported by CO2 from a chemical byproduct in a connected chemical reactor resulted in better growth characteristic than either ASM or ASM-1 in literature.
Recovery of lipophilic products from wild cyanobacteria (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) isolated from the Curonian Lagoon by means of supercritical carbon dioxide extraction
The Biotechnology of Cyanobacteria
TLDR
This chapter gives an overview of the range of cyanobacterial materials being harvested from nature and grown in culture, increasingly on a large scale, and the ways in which cyanobacteria are now being used are described.
A review of the phylogeny, ecology and toxin production of bloom-forming Aphanizomenon spp. and related species within the Nostocales (cyanobacteria).

Microcystins, nutrient dynamics, and other environmental factors during blooms of non-microcystin-producing Aphanizomenon flos-aquae in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, 2009
Abstract Seasonal phytoplankton blooms dominated by cyanobacteria in Upper Klamath Lake, Oregon, produce toxic microcystins at concentrations that may be detrimental to local wildlife. In 2009, water…
Effects of fermented Aphanizomenon flos-aquae on the caecal microbiome of mice fed a high-sucrose and low-dietary fibre diet
TLDR
Lower body weight gains and epididymal fat pad tissue weights were observed in mice fed the diet containing A. flos-aquae, and the caecal microbiome alpha diversity was high in mice feeding the F-AFA diet.

Commercial production of microalgae in the Asia-Pacific rim
TLDR
There are around 110 commercial producers of microalgae in the Asia-Pacific region, with annual production capacity ranging from 3 to 500 T. Most of the commercially produced algal biomass is being marketed as health food, in the forms of tablets and capsules.

TLDR
An epidemiological survey for the causes of a high incidence of primary liver cancer in Haimen city, Jian-Su province and Fusui county, Guangxi province in China, found a close correlation between the incidence of PLC and the drinking of pond and ditch water, supporting a hypothesis that the blue-green algal toxin MC in the drinking water of ponds/ditches and rivers, or both, is one of the risk factors for the high incidence.
