Microcystins in planktonic and benthic food web components from Greenlandic lakes
Ecosphere, 2021 There is increasing global concern regarding the social, economic, human health, and environmental health implications of cyanotoxins. However, much of what we know about cyanotoxins comes from studies of temperate or tropical systems with conspicuous ...

Cyanotoxins: A Poison that Frees Phosphate [PDF]
Current Biology, 2010 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 ...

Cyanotoxins: A dermatological problem
Archive of Oncology, 2011 Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), that are common inhabitants of water and terrestrial environments throughout the world, produce a broad spectrum of secondary metabolites - biologically active products that could be toxic (cyano?toxins). Scientific literature data unequivocally showed adverse effects of cyanotoxins on animal and human ...

Degradation of cyanotoxins (microcystin) in drinking water using photoelectrooxidation
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe 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 ...

Ecological and molecular investigations of cyanotoxin production [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2001 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.

Cyanobacterial Cyclic Peptides Containing cis‐Pro Conformation
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 13, 1 April 2026.Cyanobacterial cyclic natural products are ribosomal or nonribosomal peptides, typically containing one or more proline residues. However, the presence and population of the cis‐Pro conformation are not always explicitly stated in the literature. The two proline isomers can affect protein function and interactions.

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
