Early detection of cyanotoxin threat in freshwater bodies by quantitative PCR
Increased frequency of cyanobacterial blooms, caused by rising temperatures and eutrophication, is creating a growing need for reliable methods for early cyanotoxin threat detection in water bodies.

Shifting ice phenology and ice extent linked to harmful algal bloom severity
Abstract Ice cover on lakes can have far‐reaching and profound effects on ecosystem structure and function. However, the duration and spatial extent of ice cover is changing rapidly with warming aquatic ecosystems. This loss of ice creates an urgent need to understand how lakes will function without ice cover, both during the ice‐on and ice‐free season,

Initial Assessment of the Detectability of Cyanotoxin Occurrence Using PACE Satellite Observations
Abstract Microcystin is a major public health hazard during freshwater cyanobacterial blooms, yet its remote detection remains challenging because it lacks any direct optical absorption features. We demonstrate that hyperspectral observations from NASA's PACE Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) can be used to detect elevated microcystin concentrations by ...

Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring
This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

Cyanotoxin Production in Subtropical Lakes over the Last 150 Years with Implications for Human and Ecosystem Health [PDF]
Lakes are experiencing a modern period of increased eutrophication due to cultural impacts and climate change. One common characteristic of lake eutrophication is the increase in cyanobacteria, which possess a competitive advantage over other ...

Cyanotoxins: A Poison that Frees Phosphate [PDF]
Autotrophic organisms obtain phosphorus from the environment by secreting alkaline phosphatases that act on esters, resulting in inorganic phosphate that is then taken up. New work shows that the cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon ovalisporum obtains inorganic phosphate by secreting the cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin, which induces alkaline phosphatase in ...
