Appearance of Planktothrix rubescens Bloom with [D-Asp3, Mdha7]MC–RR in Gravel Pit Pond of a Shallow Lake-Dominated Area [PDF]
Blooms of toxic cyanobacteria are well-known phenomena in many regions of the world. Microcystin (MC), the most frequent cyanobacterial toxin, is produced by entirely different cyanobacteria, including unicellular, multicellular filamentous, heterocytic,

Evolution and detection of cyanobacterial hepatotoxin synthetase genes [PDF]
Mass occurrences (blooms) of cyanobacteria are common in aquatic environments worldwide. These blooms are often toxic, due to the presence of hepatotoxins or neurotoxins. The most common cyanobacterial toxins are hepatotoxins: microcystins and nodularins.

ABSTRACT The increasing demand for freshwater, in combination with climate change and pollution, compromises the quality and quantity of water resources. These pressures have intensified cyanobacterial blooms, including toxic events that threaten human health and aquatic ecosystems. This study complements the objectives of the Water Framework Directive

CYANO RT-Microarray: A Novel Tool to Detect Gene Expression in Cyanobacteria [PDF]
EU μAQUA made early warning systems for freshwater pathogens and toxins. Barcodes for each cyanobacterial toxin gene published before 2011 were designed and used in a microarray format to capture messenger RNA to detect toxin gene expression at early ...

Avaliação da influência da intensidade de luz na expressão do gene mcyA e na produção de microcistina em Microcystis aeruginosa e Planktothrix agardhii [PDF]
As cianobactérias são frequentemente associadas à produção de toxinas, nomeadamente microcistinas. A sua síntese é não ribossomal, e acontece utilizando complexos multienzimáticos (genes mcy).

Specific Gene Loci of Clinical Pseudomonas putida Isolates [PDF]
Pseudomonas putida are ubiquitous inhabitants of soils and clinical isolates of this species have been seldom described. Clinical isolates show significant variability in their ability to cause damage to hosts because some of them are able to modulate ...

Successful isolation and cultivation of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii strains isolated from finished drinking water samples [PDF]
This work presents the successful establishment of Cylindrospermosis raciborskii cultures isolated from water samples collected at the exit point of Water Treatment Plant (WTP). An intense bloom dominated by filamentous cyanobacteria (Aphanizomenon spp.,
