Assessment of the Chemical Diversity and Potential Toxicity of Benthic Cyanobacterial Blooms in the Lagoon of Moorea Island (French Polynesia) [PDF]
In the last decades, an apparent increase in the frequency of benthic cyanobacterial blooms has occurred in coral reefs and tropical lagoons, possibly in part because of global change and anthropogenic activities.

Faster ciguatoxin extraction methods for toxicity screening [PDF]
Ciguatera poisoning (CP) is a severe global public health problem caused by the consumption of seafood products contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs). The growing demand for seafood products requires high-throughput testing for CTX-susceptible seafood ...

Ciguatoxin Occurrence in Food-Web Components of a Cuban Coral Reef Ecosystem: Risk-Assessment Implications. [PDF]
In Cuba, ciguatera poisoning associated with fish consumption is the most commonly occurring non-bacterial seafood-borne illness. Risk management through fish market regulation has existed in Cuba for decades and consists of bans on selected species ...

CBA: Contextual Background Attack Against Optical Aerial Detection in the Physical World [PDF]
Patch-based physical attacks have increasingly aroused concerns. However, most existing methods focus on obscuring targets captured on the ground, and some of these methods are simply extended to deceive aerial detectors.

Improved Analytical Technologies for the Detection of Natural Toxins and Their Metabolites in Food [PDF]
Food, by nature, is a biological substrate and is therefore capable of supporting the growth of microbials that are potential producers of toxic compounds. Among them mycotoxins, marine biotoxins, plant toxins, cyanogenic glycosides, and toxins occurring

Heterologous production of a cyanobacterial bacteriocin with potent antibacterial activity [PDF]
With regard to the emerging health threat by antibiotic resistant bacteria, bacteriocins are considered as a promising way to overcome this urgent problem. In this work, a hitherto unknown bacteriocin from the terrestrial cyanobacterium Chroococcidiopsis
