“…For 3.5 billion years, cyanobacteria have kept developing new adaptation features and defense mechanisms which allowed them to colonize the earth, shape its atmosphere from anoxic to oxygenic, and ever since to survive in harsh and strongly competitive environments under extreme temperatures, salt stress, high UV-radiation, and pathogen attack [1,2]. One of these survival strategies is the production of a vast variety of secondary metabolites, exhibiting a broad spectrum of biological activities and properties, including peptides, lipopeptides, polyketides, alkaloids, lipids, and terpenoids [3][4][5][6][7]. When growth conditions are advantageous, cyanobacteria proliferate, resulting in overgrown 2 of 12 populations known as cyanobacterial blooms (CBs), which can be harmful for aquatic life as well as for human health because of the toxins they produce [8,9].…”
