A filamentous marine cyanobacteria Moorea producens (formerly classified as Lyngbya majuscula) can cause human skin irritation (seaweed dermatitis) known as "swimmers itch".The causative agents of "swimmers itch" have been reported to be lyngbyatoxin A,aplysiatoxin and their derivatives,which are produced by M.producens.
