Allelopathic Potential of the Cyanotoxins Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin on Green Algae [PDF]
Allelopathic interactions are widespread in all aquatic habitats, among all groups of aquatic primary biomass producers, including cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are producers of potent toxins called cyanotoxins, whose biological and ecological roles ...

Recent Advances in Cyanobacterial Cytotoxin Biosensors Focused on Cylindrospermopsin [PDF]
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a freshwater algal toxin produced during the proliferation of harmful cyanobacteria, known as cyanobacterial algal blooms (cyano-HABs). Recently, the effects of global warming have facilitated the growth of cyano-HABs, leading

Evaluation of the Removal and Effects of Cylindrospermopsin on Ripened Slow Sand Filters [PDF]
The occurrence of toxic blooms of cyanobacteria has been a matter of public health interest due to the cyanotoxins produced by these microorganisms. Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanotoxin of particular concern due to its toxic effects on humans.

Alterations in acetylcholinesterase activity and oxidative stress parameters induced by pure cylindrospermopsin in brain of orally exposed rats and determination of potential metabolites. [PDF]
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a secondary metabolite produced by cyanobacteria. In view of its toxic effects, CYN is frequently classified as a cytotoxin, although it has been associated with neurotoxicological effects.

Physiological and Metabolic Responses of Marine Mussels Exposed to Toxic Cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and Chrysosporum ovalisporum [PDF]
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a major contaminant in inland aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, toxic blooms are carried downstream by rivers and waterways to estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Concerning marine and estuarine animal species, very little is

Degradation of Cylindrospermopsin Spiked in Natural Water (Paranoá Lake, Brasília, Brazil) by Fenton Process: A Bench-Scale Study. [PDF]
The frequency and intensity of harmful cyanobacterial blooms have increased in the last decades, posing a risk to public health since conventional water treatments do not effectively remove extracellular cyanotoxins.
