Degradation of cyanotoxins (microcystin) in drinking water using photoelectrooxidation

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The discharge of sewage and industrial effluents containing high concentrations of pollutants in water bodies increases eutrophication. Cyanobacteria, some of the organisms whose growth is promoted by high nutrient concentrations, are resistant and ...

Toxicity at the Edge of Life: A Review on Cyanobacterial Toxins from Extreme Environments

Marine Drugs, 2017
Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, of varied chemical nature and toxic effects. Although cyanobacteria thrive in all kinds of ecosystems on Earth even under very harsh conditions, current knowledge on cyanotoxin distribution

The Occurrence of Potential Harmful Cyanobacteria and Cyanotoxins in the Obrzyca River (Poland), a Source of Drinking Water

Toxins, 2020
Harmful cyanobacteria and their cyanotoxins may contaminate drinking water resources and their effective control remains challenging. The present study reports on cyanobacterial blooms and associated cyanotoxins in the Obrzyca River, a source of drinking

Accumulation and effects of cyanobacterial microcystins and anatoxin-a on benthic larvae of Chironomus spp. (Diptera: Chironomidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
Larvae of Chironomidae are distributed world-wide and are very abundant in eutrophic water bodies affected by cyanobacterial blooms. However, there is little information on the effect of cyanobacteria and their metabolites on these aquatic organisms. Our

State of knowledge and concerns on cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins

Environment International, 2013
Cyanobacteria are ubiquitous microorganisms considered as important contributors to the formation of Earth's atmosphere and nitrogen fixation. However, they are also frequently associated with toxic blooms.

Bloom dynamics of cyanobacteria and their toxins: environmental health impacts and mitigation strategies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Cyanobacteria are ecologically one of the most prolific groups of phototrophic prokaryotes in both marine and freshwater habitats. Both the beneficial and detrimental aspects of cyanobacteria are of considerable significance.

Cyanotoxin degradation evaluation through low frequency ultrasound

Revista UIS Ingenierías
Cyanotoxins, such as microcystins (MC) and nodularins (NOD), are highly stable and resistant to conventional physical and chemical degradation, posing a significant risk to human health.

A public health perspective on cyanobacteria, climate change, population growth, and potential risk of neurodegenerative disease

Environmental Research Communications
Cyanobacteria are a global health issue. These bacteria can produce toxins (cyanotoxins) that have important health consequences and exposure can occur through multiple pathways including drinking water and seafood.

Role of cyanotoxins in the development and promotion of cancer

Toxicology Reports
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.
