In Vitro Toxicity Assessment of Stilbene Extract for Its Potential Use as Antioxidant in the Wine Industry [PDF]
The reduction of sulfur dioxide in wine is a consumer’s demand, considering the allergic effects that may occur in people who are sensitive to it. Stilbenes are candidates of great interest for this purpose because of their antioxidant/antimicrobial ...

ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) threaten human, animal, and ecosystem health and safety through production of toxic secondary metabolites. Microcystis, a cosmopolitan bloom‐forming cyanobacterial genus, is well‐known for producing hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs), but it can produce many other bioactive cyanopeptides, such as ...

Study of cyanotoxin degradation and evaluation of their transformation products in surface waters by LC-QTOF MS [PDF]
In the present work, the degradation of three cyanotoxins from the hepatotoxins group was investigated under laboratory-controlled experiments in water samples.

Screening of cyanotoxin producing genes in Ecuadorian freshwater systems
: Aim This study pursued the detection of cyr and mcy genes to assess the presence of cylindrospemopsin (CN) and microcystin (MC) potential producers in Ecuadorian water bodies. Methods Environmental DNA (eDNA) was extracted from eight water bodies and

Abstract Cyanobacteria blooms are a leading threat to water quality globally. Despite this, the timing and frequency of toxin production associated with harmful blooms are not well understood. Here we explore cyanobacteria bloom dynamics and cyanotoxin production in two heavily instrumented shallow, eutrophic bays of Lake Champlain through the lens of ...

Detoxification of Cylindrospermopsin by Pyrite in Water [PDF]
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a cyanobacterial toxin released from eutrophic water. It persistently remains in the environment because its degradation under solar light is extremely low. In this study, pyrite, an abundant mineral, was investigated as a catalyst for decomposing and detoxifying CYN in water. A detailed examination of intermediates provided

Tropical cyanobacterial blooms: A review of prevalence, problem taxa, toxins and influencing environmental factors [PDF]
© 2015, Page Press Publications. All rights reserved. Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a major issue in freshwater systems in many countries. The potentially toxic species and their ecological causes are likely to be different in tropical zones from those

Is qPCR a Reliable Indicator of Cyanotoxin Risk in Freshwater?
The wide distribution of cyanobacteria in aquatic environments leads to the risk of water contamination by cyanotoxins, which generate environmental and public health issues.
