A fluorescent-labeled microcystin-LR terbium cryptate
A new fluorescent labeled compound of microcystin-LR with terbium cryptate was obtained by initial conjugation of microcystins-LR with aminoethanethiol followed by the reaction with the ester group of terbium cryptate.

Microcystin-LR Induces Alterations in Heart Muscle
MC-LR belongs to a family of cyanobacterial toxins. MC-LR acts as serine-threonine phosphatase-1 and -2A inhibitor. Chronic intoxication with low doses of this toxin promotes liver tumour formation and induces kidney injury. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether chronic exposure to relatively low doses of MC-LR has toxic ...

Coagulation/flocculation/flotation/nanofiltration processes using Moringa Oleifera as coagulant of Eutrophized river [PDF]
This study investigated the efficiency of Moringa oleifera (MO) seeds as natural coagulant in coagulation/flocculation/dissolved air flotation (C/F/DAF), followed by nanofiltration (NF) for Microcystis protocystis and microcystin-LR removal.

Nuclear Dbf2-related protein kinases (NDRs) in isolated cardiac myocytes and the myocardium: activation by cellular stresses and by phosphoprotein serine-/threonine-phosphatase inhibitors [PDF]
The nuclear Dbf2-related protein kinases 1 and 2 (NDR1/2) are closely-related AGC family kinases that are strongly conserved through evolution. In mammals, they are activated inter alia by phosphorylation of an hydrophobic domain threonine-residue [NDR1 ...

Cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan organisms; nonetheless, climate change and eutrophication are increasing the occurrence of cyanobacteria blooms (cyanoblooms), thereby raising the risk of cyanotoxins in water sources used for drinking, agriculture, and ...

Microcystines : intoxication des animaux domestiques et sécurité des aliments d’origine animale [PDF]
Les cyanobactéries sont des micro-organismes ubiquistes qui se développent généralement dans les eaux douces. A cause de certaines caractéristiques, par exemple leur couleur bleu-vert et la présence de chlorophylle a, elles sont improprement appelées ...
