Abstract
We created a comprehensive, publically accessible database of cyanobacterial secondary metabolites following the last ICTC in Krakow (2019). CyanoMetDB is a highly curated, flat-file, openly accessible database of cyanobacterial secondary metabolites collated from more than 850 peer-reviewed articles published since 1967. The database contains structural codes of more than 2000 cyanobacterial metabolites and facilitates the detection and dereplication of known cyanobacterial toxins and secondary metabolites as well as the identification of novel natural products from cyanobacteria. Research on biosynthesis of cyanobacterial secondary metabolite as well as investigations of their abundance, persistence, and toxicity in natural environments also benefit greatly from this comprehensive suspect list. We continue curating CyanoMetDB and integrating it into existing open access platforms. We are also generating mass spectrometry reference spectra for many entries to further facilitate the level confidence with which one can identify these metabolites when no reference materials are available.
