According to the valid "Educational and examinatorial rules" Faculty of Science, the thesis is composed from an introduction and a set of published scientific papers and manuscripts of scientific papers. In Introduction, Chapter 1, I shortly summarize the current knowledge about the cyanobacterial taxonomy, toxicology and autecology. The largest part of this Chapter is concern on Microcystis genus. Chapter 2 (Šejnohová, L.; Neméthová, D., Welker, M., Maršálek, B. (submitted): Cell diameter by the bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis correlatates with the occurence of specific toxic oligopeptides within the season. - Journal of Phycology) analyzed the relationship between morphology and oligopeptides occurrence by Microcystis genus. This study represents the first work tested direct the relationship between individual morphological features of colony and individual peptides by using multivariate analysis. The novel method, mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), analyzed single...
