Anandamide

Anandamide (ANA), also referred to as N-arachidonoylethanolamine (AEA) is a fatty acid neurotransmitter belonging to the fatty acid derivative group known as N-Acylethanolamine (NAE).

See Lyngbya majuscula and Anandamide

Antillatoxin

Antillatoxin (ATX) is a potent lipopeptide neurotoxin produced by the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula.

Cyanobacterial morphology

Cyanobacterial morphology refers to the form or shape of cyanobacteria.

Denmark

Denmark (Danmark) is a Nordic country in the south-central portion of Northern Europe.

See Lyngbya majuscula and Denmark

Dragomabin

Dragomabin is a lipopeptide isolated from the marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya majuscula.

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

Hans Christian Lyngbye

Hans Christian Lyngbye (29 June 1782 – 18 May 1837) was a Danish priest and botanist, specialising in algae.

Kalkitoxin

Kalkitoxin, a toxin derived from the cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula, induces NMDA receptor mediated neuronal necrosis, blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels, and induces cellular hypoxia by inhibiting the electron transport chain (ETC) complex 1.

See Lyngbya majuscula and Kalkitoxin

Lipopeptide

A lipopeptide is a molecule consisting of a lipid connected to a peptide.

See Lyngbya majuscula and Lipopeptide

Lyngbya

Lyngbya is a genus of cyanobacteria, unicellular autotrophs that form the basis of the oceanic food chain. Lyngbya majuscula and Lyngbya are Oscillatoriales.

See Lyngbya majuscula and Lyngbya

Maurice Gomont

Maurice-Augustin Gomont (born 1839, in Rouen – died 1909, in Rouen) was a French phycologist.

Réunion

La Réunion, "La Reunion"; La Réunion; Reunionese Creole; previously known as Île Bourbon.

See Lyngbya majuscula and Réunion

Serinolamide A

Serinolamide A is a naturally occurring eicosanoid derivative related to anandamide, which has been isolated from the marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya majuscula and related species in the Oscillatoria family.
