Analytical Methods for Anatoxin-a Determination: A Review [PDF]
ToxinsAnatoxin-a (ATX-a) is a potent neurotoxin produced by several species of cyanobacteria whose exposure can have direct consequences, including neurological disorders and death. The increasing prevalence of harmful cyanobacterial blooms makes the detection

Microcystin Prevalence throughout Lentic Waterbodies in Coastal Southern California [PDF]
Toxins, 2017 Toxin producing cyanobacterial blooms have increased globally in recent decades in both frequency and intensity. Despite the recognition of this growing risk, the extent and magnitude of cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxin prevalence is poorly ...

Developmental neurotoxicity of an anatoxin-a-producing cyanobacteria (Aphanizomenon gracile) lysate to zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyHarmful cyanobacterial blooms occur frequently worldwide with serious environmental impacts. Many detrimental cyanobacteria are well known for their potential to synthesize various cyanotoxins, posing significant threats to aquatic ecosystems and public ...

Detection of Anatoxins in Human Urine by Liquid Chromatography Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry and ELISA [PDF]
ToxinsHarmful cyanobacterial blooms are becoming more common and persistent around the world. When in bloom, various cyanobacterial strains can produce anatoxins in high concentrations, which, unlike other cyanobacterial toxins, may be present in clear water ...

Evaluation of Genotoxic and Hemolytic Effects of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and Microcystis aeruginosa Biomass Extracts on Human Blood Cells In Vitro [PDF]
MicroorganismsThis study explores the in vitro effects of cyanotoxins from the methanolic extract of the cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and Microcystis aeruginosa on human blood cells, with samples drawn from the Gruža reservoir in Serbia. These cyanobacteria,

Assessment of the Effects of Anatoxin-a In Vitro: Cytotoxicity and Uptake [PDF]
ToxinsAnatoxin-a (ATX-a) is a cyanotoxin whose toxicological profile has been underinvestigated in comparison to other cyanotoxins such as microcystins (MCs) or cylindrospermopsin (CYN).

A cohesive Microcoleus strain cluster causes benthic cyanotoxic blooms in rivers worldwide [PDF]
Water Research XOver the last two decades, proliferations of benthic cyanobacteria producing derivatives of anatoxin-a have been reported in rivers worldwide. Here, we follow up on such a toxigenic event happening in the Areuse river in Switzerland and investigate the ...
