Cyanobacteria and their toxins in Guanting Reservoir of Beijing, China
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2008The present study investigated the cyanobacteria and one family of their toxins-microcystins (MCs) in Guanting Reservoir of Beijing, China. The dominant species in the cyanobacteria found in August and September of 2006 was Microcystis, which accounted 99% of total algal cells.

A LC/MS Method for the Determination of Cyanobacteria Toxins in Water
Analytical Chemistry, 2004The cyanobacteria toxins anatoxin-a, microcystin-LR, microcystin-RR, microcystin-YR, and nodularin were separated in less than 30 min on several 1 mm x 15 cm reversed-phase liquid chromatography (LC) columns, and their electrospray mass spectra were measured using injections of 50 ng or less with a benchtop time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer.

AbstractBlue‐green algae are found in lakes, ponds, rivers and brackish waters throughout the world. In case of excessive growth such as bloom formation, these bacteria can produce inherent toxins in quantities causing toxicity in mammals, including humans. These cyanotoxins include cyclic peptides and alkaloids.

Rapid analysis of peptide toxins in cyanobacteria
Journal of Chromatography A, 1988A quick and easy-to-perform method for routine analysis of cyanobacterial (blue-green algal) peptide toxins is proposed. The toxins are analysed by means of high-performance liquid chromatography using a recently developed internal surface reversed-phase column.

Methods to detect cyanobacteria and their toxins in the environment
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2014Cyanobacteria blooms are since early times a cause for environmental concern because of their negative impact through the release of odors, water discoloration, and more dangerously through the release of toxic compounds (i.e. the cyanotoxins) that can affect both human and animal welfare. Surveillance of the aquatic ecosystems is therefore obligatory,

On May 2, 1878, George Francis of Adelaide, Australia, published the Þrst scholarly description of the potentially lethal eÝects produced by cyanobacteriaNthe microorganisms sometimes called blue-green algae or, more colloquially, pond scum. In a letter to Nature he noted that an alga he thought to be Nodularia spumigena had so proliferated in the ...

Degradation of cyanobacteria toxin by advanced oxidation processes
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2008Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) using O(3), H(2)O(2), O(3)/H(2)O(2), O(3)/Fe(II), and Fenton treatment were investigated for the degradation of aqueous solutions of cyanobacteria. The effects of concentration of reactants, temperature, and pH on toxins degradation were monitored and the reaction kinetics was assessed.

The Genetic Basis of Toxin Production in Cyanobacteria
Freshwater Reviews, 2009The increasing incidence of mass developments of Cyanobacteria in fresh- and brackish water is a matter of growing concern due to the production of toxins that threaten human and livestock health. The toxins that are produced by freshwater Cyanobacteria comprise hepatotoxins (cyclic peptides such as microcystins and nodularin, as well as alkaloids such
