  abstract = {{C}yanobacteria represent a potential risk to human health, as they can produce an array of toxic compounds. {P}roliferations of potentially toxic benthic marine cyanobacteria are predicted to increase in frequency and spread geographically with climate change and eutrophication, especially in tropical lagoons. {B}enthic cyanobacterial mats harbour many species of other bacteria and eukaryotic organisms, some of which have been linked to human poisonings after consumption of contaminated seafood. {M}etabarcoding was used to characterize the taxonomic diversity of 66 benthic cyanobacteria-dominated mats collected from six islands in three different countries of the {S}outh {P}acific: {F}rench {P}olynesia, the {C}ook {I}slands and {K}ingdom of {T}onga. {T}wenty-five potentially toxic cyanobacteria genera were recorded. {A}lthough core bacterial communities (excluding cyanobacteria) remained constant amongst mats, there were significant differences both within and between islands, even when the mats were dominated by the same cyanobacteria genera. {D}inoflagellata and {C}iliophora were the most dominant eukaryotes and seven potentially toxic genera of dinoflagellates co-occurred in the mats. {T}his is the first baseline survey to use metabarcoding to demonstrate the co-occurrence of potentially toxic marine cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates in the {P}acific. {T}he results highlight that further research is needed to evaluate the toxicity of the mats in these regions.},
