Analysis of Total-Forms of Cyanotoxins Microcystins in Biological Matrices: A Methodological Review [PDF]
Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic heptapeptidic toxins produced by many cyanobacteria. Microcystins can be accumulated in various matrices in two forms: a free cellular fraction and a covalently protein-bound form. To detect and quantify the concentration of

The occurrence and human health risk assessment of microcystins in diverse food matrixes during production [PDF]
Globally, the presence of cyanotoxins in water supplies and food has been widely investigated for over a decade. Cyanotoxins are harmful metabolites produced by toxic cyanobacterial genera.

Lesser-Known Cyanotoxins: A Comprehensive Review of Their Health and Environmental Impacts [PDF]
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are a diverse phylum of photosynthetic, Gram-negative bacteria and one of the largest microbial taxa. These organisms produce cyanotoxins, which are secondary metabolites that can have significant impacts on

Role of cyanotoxins in the development and promotion of cancer [PDF]
Cyanotoxins are primarily produced by different species of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, and have appeared to be environmental poisons that have various toxic effects on animal health, including humans.

Cyanotoxins and the Nervous System [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are capable of producing a wide range of bioactive compounds with many considered to be toxins. Although there are a number of toxicological outcomes with respect to cyanobacterial exposure, this review aims to examine those which affect the central nervous system (CNS) or have neurotoxicological properties. Such exposures can be acute or

New Report of Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins in El Pañe Reservoir: A Threat for Water Quality in High-Andean Sources from PERU [PDF]
Cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan organisms; nonetheless, climate change and eutrophication are increasing the occurrence of cyanobacteria blooms (cyanoblooms), thereby raising the risk of cyanotoxins in water sources used for drinking, agriculture, and ...

Ecological and molecular investigations of cyanotoxin production [PDF]
Cyanobacteria, broadly classified as oxygenic phototrophs containing chlorophyll- a and accessory pigments, are among the oldest life forms on earth. They may be unicellular, colonial or filamentous, with cell sizes varying from less than 2 μm to 40 μm in diameter. They may live as symbionts with plants and fungi, in the benthos or in the water column.

Photodegradation of cyanotoxins in surface waters [PDF]
Cyanotoxin-producing harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a global occurrence and pose ecotoxicological threats to humans and animals alike. The presence of cyanotoxins can seriously harm or kill nearby wildlife and restrict a body of water's use as a drinking water supply and recreational site, making it imperative to fully understand their fate and ...

Nitrogen Substrate Impacts Microcystis aeruginosa Exometabolome Composition. [PDF]
We used untargeted metabolomics to identify differences in the compounds exuded into culture media by three strains of M. aeruginosa grown on three N substrate treatments (NO3−, NH4+, and urea). Results showed that the usage of different N substrates changes the exometabolome of toxic and non‐toxic strains of M. aeruginosa.
