Effects of Harmful Algal Blooms on Amphibians and Reptiles are Under‐Reported and Under‐Represented

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 9, Page 1936-1949, September 2024.
Abstract Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are a persistent and increasing problem globally, yet we still have limited knowledge about how they affect wildlife. Although semi‐aquatic and aquatic amphibians and reptiles have experienced large declines and occupy environments where HABs are increasingly problematic, their vulnerability to HABs remains unclear.

Responsible innovation: Mitigating the food safety aspects of cultured meat production

Journal of Food Science, Volume 89, Issue 8, Page 4638-4659, August 2024.
Abstract There is much interest in cultured (cultivated) meat as a potential solution to concerns over the ecological and environmental footprint of food production, especially from animal‐derived food products. The aim of this critical review is to undertake a structured analysis of existing literature to (i) identify the range of materials that could

The chemical and microbiological safety of emerging alternative protein sources and derived analogues: A review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract Climate change and changing consumer demand are the main factors driving the protein transition. This shift toward more sustainable protein sources as alternatives to animal proteins is also reflected in the rapid upscaling of meat and dairy food analogues.

Occurrence of the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin in northeast Germany [PDF]

Environmental Toxicology, 2007
AbstractThe frequent occurrence of the cyanobacterial toxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) in the (sub)tropics has been largely associated with cyanobacteria of the order Nostocales of tropical origin, in particular Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii. C. raciborskii is currently observed to spread northwards into temperate climatic zones.

Satellite Remote Sensing: A Tool to Support Harmful Algal Bloom Monitoring and Recreational Health Advisories in a California Reservoir

GeoHealth, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) can harm people, animals, and affect consumptive and recreational use of inland waters. Monitoring cyanoHABs is often limited. However, chlorophyll‐a (chl‐a) is a common water quality metric and has been shown to have a relationship with cyanobacteria. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently

Cylindrospermopsin: A Decade of Progress on Bioaccumulation Research [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2010
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is rapidly being recognised as one of the most globally important of the freshwater algal toxins. The ever-expanding distribution of CYN producers into temperate zones is heightening concern that this toxin will represent serious human, as well as environmental, health risks across many countries.

Lake browning counteracts cyanobacteria responses to nutrients: Evidence from phytoplankton dynamics in large enclosure experiments and comprehensive observational data

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2024.
The combined impacts of multi‐stressors on phytoplankton remain difficult to predict. We combined large enclosure experiments with a comprehensive time‐series and a broad‐scale field survey to unravel the effects of storm‐induced lake browning, nutrient enrichment and deep‐mixing on phytoplankton communities, focusing on potentially toxic ...

The Potential of Single‐Chain Variable Fragment Antibody: Role in Future Therapeutic and Diagnostic Biologics

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The advancement of genetic engineering has revolutionized the field of immunology by allowing the utilization of intrinsic antibody structures. One of the biologics that are being produced by recombinant antibody technology is single‐chain fragments variable (scFv).

Influence of Environmental Factors on the Dynamics and Toxicology of Microcystis and Anabaena in Eutrophic Ponds

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Blooms of Microcystis are common in fish ponds in Bangladesh which vary distinctly with season to season. A study on the seasonal changes of Microcystis and Anabaena was carried out over a period of 12 months from March 2021 to February 2022 in two rural fish ponds to see the effect of environmental factors on the seasonal dynamics of these two species.

Occurrence of toxin-producing cyanobacteria blooms in a Brazilian semiarid reservoir

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We report the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms and the presence of cyanotoxins in water samples from the Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves reservoir (06° 08’ S and 37° 07’ W), located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in the semiarid region of northeastern
