Irrigation-dependent accumulation of microcystin in different crops under mid-scale greenhouse conditions

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
The potential health risks of consuming crops irrigated with microcystin-contaminated water are increasingly recognized. While previous studies demonstrated microcystin accumulation in crops, they do not fully reflect real-world conditions and have data ...

Recreational exposure during algal bloom in carrasco beach, uruguay: A liver failure case report [PDF]

, 2017
In January 2015, a 20-month-old child and her family took part in recreational activities at Carrasco and Malvín beaches (Montevideo, Uruguay). An intense harmful algae bloom (HAB) was developing along the coast at that time.

Estimating Operational Costs of Activated Carbon for Water Treatment Plants by Predicting the Rise of Harmful Algal Blooms Under Climate Change in Korea Using Machine Learning

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated future operational costs in water treatment (WT) plants. Random forest modeling projected 3–5 times more abundant cyanobacteria by 2100 due to climate change. Increased microcystins demanded substantially more activated carbon and, as a result, WT costs could rise to $6–22/household/month.

Mitochondria a key role in microcystin‐LR kidney intoxication [PDF]

Journal of Applied Toxicology, 2007
AbstractMicrocystins (MCs) are a group of closely related cyclic heptapeptides produced by a variety of common cyanobacteria. These toxins have been implicated in both human and livestock mortality. Microcystin‐LR could affect renal physiology by altering vascular, glomerular and urinary parameters, indicating that MC‐LR could act directly on the ...

Safety evaluation of blue galdieria extract as a food additive

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Food Additive and Flavourings (FAF Panel) provides a scientific opinion on the safety of blue galdieria extract as a food additive. Blue galdieria extract is an enzymatically treated C‐phycocyanin extract derived from the lysed biomass of the microalgae Galdieria sulphuraria.

Microcystin-LR in surface water of Ponjavica river

Vojnosanitetski pregled, 2012
Background/Aim. Cyanobacterial toxins befall a group of various compounds according to chemical structure and health effects on people and animals. The most significant in this large group of compounds are microcystins. Their presence in water used for human consumption causes serious health problems, liver beeing the target organ ...

Toxicity of microcystins in the isolated hepatocytes of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) [PDF]

, 2007
The toxicity of hepatotoxic microcystins produced mainly by Microcystis aeruginosa in mammals and fishes was well studied in recent years. However, there were scarcely reports in toxic effects of microcystins on isolated hepatocytes of fishes, especially

Gold coated dual-resonance long-period fiber gratings (DR-LPFG) based aptasensor for cyanobacterial toxin detection

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research, 2019
Here, we present the development of aptasensor for the label-free, stable, and sensitive detection of environmental toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR). A thiolated aptamer used as a bio-receptor was covalently immobilized on dual-resonance long-period fiber ...
