Toxins, 2021 Microbial degradation is an important route for removing environmental microcystins (MCs). Here, we investigated the ecological distribution of microcystin degraders (mlr-genotype), and the relationship between the substrate specificity of the ...

Impact of temperature on the temporal dynamics of microcystin in Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Cyanobacterial blooms pose a serious threat to water quality and human health due to the production of the potent hepatotoxin microcystin. In microcystin-producing strains of the widespread genus Microcystis, the toxin is largely constitutively produced,

Microcystin as a biogeochemical cycle: Pools, fluxes, and fates of the cyanotoxin in inland waters
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023 Microcystin poses a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. There is a pressing need to understand the production, movement, and storage of microcystin in lakes.

Toxins, 2021 Microcystins are ubiquitous toxins produced by photoautotrophic cyanobacteria. Human exposures to microcystins occur through the consumption of contaminated drinking water, fish and shellfish, vegetables, and algal dietary supplements and through ...

Variability in microcystin quotas during a Microcystis bloom in a eutrophic lake.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Microcystis is a bloom-forming genus of cyanobacteria with some genotypes that produce highly toxic microcystin hepatotoxins. In waterbodies where biological and physical factors are relatively homogenous, toxin quotas (the average amount of toxin per ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 A strong association between exposure to the common harmful algal bloom toxin microcystin and the altered host gut microbiome has been shown. We tested the hypothesis that prior exposure to the cyanotoxin microcystin-LR may alter the host resistome.

The cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystin binds to proteins and increases the fitness of microcystis under oxidative stress conditions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Microcystins are cyanobacterial toxins that represent a serious threat to drinking water and recreational lakes worldwide. Here, we show that microcystin fulfils an important function within cells of its natural producer Microcystis.

Toxins, 2023 Microcystin can be present in variable concentrations, phases (dissolved and particulate), and structural forms (congeners), all which impact the toxicity and persistence of the algal metabolite.

Phytoplankton Community and Algal Toxicity at a Recurring Bloom in Sullivan Bay, Kabetogama Lake, Minnesota, USA [PDF]
, 2019 Kabetogama Lake in Voyageurs National Park, Minnesota, USA suffers from recurring late summer algal blooms that often contain toxin-producing cyanobacteria.

مجلة بغداد للعلوم, 2019 Several toxigenic cyanobacteria produce the cyanotoxin (microcystin). Being a health and environmental hazard, screening of water sources for the presence of microcystin is increasingly becoming a recommended environmental procedure in many countries of ...
