Harmful and Beneficial Properties of Cyanotoxins: Two Sides of the Same Coin [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology Advances, 2023
: Cyanotoxins are by definition "harmful agents" produced by cyanobacteria. Their toxicity has been extensively studied and reviewed over the years. Cyanotoxins have been commonly classified, based on their poisonous effects on mammals, into three main ...

Cyanotoxin exposure and hepatocellular carcinoma

Toxicology, 2023
Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial environments worldwide and include a number of species producing tumor-promoting hepatotoxins. Human exposure to cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins primarily occurs though ingestion of contaminated drinking water and food sources. In a Northeast U.S.

Cyanotoxins: Bioaccumulation and Effects on Aquatic Animals

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2011
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with wide geographic distribution that can produce secondary metabolites named cyanotoxins. These toxins can be classified into three main types according to their mechanism of action in vertebrates ...

Conventional laboratory methods for cyanotoxins

2008
It is clear from the literature that numerous methods are available for most cyanotoxins, although many publications on monitoring data indicate that the favored approach is the use proven, robust methods for individual toxins. The most effective approach is the utilization of a robust rapid screen, where positive samples are followed up by qualitative

Bioremediation of cyanotoxins.

Advances in applied microbiology, 2009
Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of mainly aquatic microorganisms which occur globally. Eutrophication (nutrient enrichment) of water bodies, often as a result of human activities, results in prolific grow of cyanobacteria that develop into a thick scum or bloom.

Neurotoxic and hepatotoxic cyanotoxins removal by nanofiltration

Water Research, 2006
This study investigates the influence of chemical feed characteristics on nanofiltration performance for cyanotoxins removal, namely the neurotoxic anatoxin-a (alkaloid of 166 g/mol, positively charged) and the hepatotoxic microcystins (cyclic peptides of approximately 1,000 g/mol, negatively charged).
