In Vitro Mutagenic and Genotoxic Assessment of a Mixture of the Cyanotoxins Microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin [PDF]
, 2019 The co-occurrence of various cyanobacterial toxins can potentially induce toxic effects different than those observed for single cyanotoxins, as interaction phenomena cannot be discarded. Moreover, mixtures are a more probable exposure scenario. However,

An overview of the toxic effect of potential human carcinogen Microcystin-LR on testis
Toxicology Reports, 2015 The worldwide occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms due to water eutrophication evokes extreme concerns. These blooms produce cyanotoxins which are hazardous to living organisms.

Variations in the Microcystin Content of Different Fish Species Collected from a Eutrophic Lake
Toxins, 2013 Microcystins produced from cyanobacteria can accumulate in fish tissues. Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is an attractive alternative to immunoassays for the determination of low concentrations of ...

Transgenerational effects of microcystin-LR onDaphnia magna [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012 SUMMARYAnthropogenic and climate factors increase the frequency of problematic cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater. Among other toxins, some cyanobacteria produce microcystins (MCs), which inhibit phosphatases type 1 and type 2A and provokes oxidative stress.

Epitopes prediction for microcystin-LR by molecular docking
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most worldwide harmful cyanobacterial toxins. A lots of antibodies against MC-LR have been generated and characterized. However, the knowledge about the epitopes of MC-LR was still limited. The objective of this study was to analyze the epitopes of MC-LR and demonstrate the binding mode of MC-LR with its antibody ...

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2015 Background Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are recurrent in Patos Lagoon, in southern Brazil. Among cyanotoxins, [D-Leu1] microcystin-LR is the predominant variant whose natural cycle involves water and sediment compartments. This study aimed to identify and
