γ-Lindane Increases Microcystin Synthesis in Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806

Marine Drugs, 2015
HCH factories, and the waste dumpsites associated to its production, have become a global environmental concern, and their runoff could pollute ground and surface waters with high levels of the pollutant.

Microcystin degradation in sphingopyxis sp. C-1 [PDF]

, 2015
The microcystin-degrading gene cluster, mlrA-B-C-D, plaies an important role in the degradation process of hepatotoxic microcystins for several bacterial species.

The use of a benign fast-growing cyanobacterial species to control microcystin synthesis from Microcystis aeruginosa

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionMicrocystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), one of the most abundant blue-green algae in aquatic environments, produces microcystin by causing harmful algal blooms (HABs).

Transcriptional alteration of cytoskeletal genes induced by microcystins in three organs of rats [PDF]

, 2010
This study explored the mechanisms of toxicity of microcystins by measuring the transcription levels of nine cytoskeletal genes (actin, tubulin, vimentin, ezrin, radixin, moesin, MAP1b, tau, stathmin) in the liver, kidney and spleen of male Wistar rats ...

Evaluation of a point-of-use device used for autoantibody analysis and its potential for following microcystin leucine-arginine exposure

Frontiers in Sensors
Introduction: Globally, the need for measuring exposure to algal toxins has become urgent due to ever-increasing reports of contamination in sea and freshwater, in shellfish and fish stocks and in aerosols.Methods: To address this issue, we evaluated the

Evidence for positive selection acting on microcystin synthetase adenylation domains in three cyanobacterial genera

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background Cyanobacteria produce a wealth of secondary metabolites, including the group of small cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxins that constitutes the microcystin family.
