Purification of microcystins

Journal of Chromatography A, 2001
Microcystins are an increasingly important group of bioactive compounds produced by a number of mainly planktonic cyanobacteria. They are a family of cyclic heptapeptides that cause both acute and chronic toxicity. Purified microcystins are utilised in a range of research applications including toxicological and biochemical studies, development of ...

A review of neurotoxicity of microcystins

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016
Cyanobacterial blooms-produced microcystins are secondary metabolites which can accumulate in the food chain and contaminate water, thus posing a potential threat to the health of aquatic animals and even humans. Microcystin toxicity affects not only the liver but also the other organs, i.e., the brain.

Bioaccumulation of Microcystins in Lettuce

Journal of Phycology, 2012
The contamination of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by water‐borne crude extracts of the cyanobacterium microcystin‐producing Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing) Kützing was investigated. The aim of the study was to determine whether bioaccumulation of microcystins occurs in lettuce foliar tissue when sprayed with solutions containing microcystins at ...

Distribution of Microcystin-Producing and Non-Microcystin-Producing Microcystis sp. in European Freshwater Bodies: Detection of Microcystins and Microcystin Genes in Individual Colonies

Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 2004
Microcystis is a well-known cyanobacterial genus frequently producing hepatotoxins named microcystins. Toxin production is encoded by microcystin genes (mcy). This study aims (i) to relate the mcy occurrence in individual colonies to the presence of microcystin, (ii) to assess whether morphological characteristics (morphospecies) are related to the ...

Effects of microcystins on fish

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2006
Abstract Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxic heptapeptides released into water during or on senescence of cyanobacterial blooms. This review details the different effects of the MCs on fish and discusses their potential consequences in aquatic food webs.

Toxicology and Evaluation of Microcystins

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 2000
This paper reviews the toxicity and tumor-promoting properties of microcystins. Methods for screening and/or identification of microcystins in environmental samples are discussed and compared. Specific emphasis is placed on newly developed extraction/detection methods, e.g., solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique, and capillary electrophoresis ...

Microbial Degradation of Microcystins

Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2013
Hepatotoxic microcystins that are produced by freshwater cyanobacteria pose a risk to public health. These compounds may be eliminated by enzymatic degradation. Here, we review the enzymatic pathways for the degradation of these hepatotoxins, some of which are newly discovered processes.
