Occurrence and Distribution of Microcystins in Lake Taihu, China
The Scientific World Journal, 2013 The occurrence and distribution of microcystins were investigated in Lake Taihu, the third largest lake in China. An extensive survey, larger and broader in scale than previous studies, was conducted in summer 2010.

Effects of sedimentation and periphyton communities on embryonic rainbow smelt, Osmerus mordax [PDF]
, 2009 The decline of anadromous rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) populations has been suspected to be linked to anthropogenic causes. Increased runoff from agriculture and urbanization has led to additional sediment inputs and eutrophying compounds in rivers ...

Methods for rapid extraction of microcystin-LR and microcystin-RR
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2005 Simple analysis methods using microwave and boiling waterbath to solve the problem for microcystin-LR (MCLR) and microcystin-RR (MCRR) extraction from cyanobacteria cells were studied as a substitute for the traditional solvent extraction methods. Standards were used to confirm the feasibility and efficiency of both methods.

WaterMicrocystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa), a key species in cyanobacterial blooms, is notably concerning due to its production of harmful microcystins (MCs). In this study, the differences in the ability of MC-producing and MC-free strains of M. aeruginosa to respond to the exogenous MCs (MC-LR) were compared.

Microcystin Concentrations in Lake Erie Walleye and Implications for Public Health [PDF]
, 2015 Lake Erie’s cultural and economic resources, which are enjoyed by millions of people, are now threatened by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs). Microcystis, the most common cyanobacteria in these HABs, produces microcystin, a toxin that causes ...

生物医学转化Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic heptapeptide toxins produced by cyanobacteria and other algae; they pose severe threats to ecosystems and human health due to increasing global eutrophication. MCs can enter the human body through drinking water, the food chain, dermal contact, and aerosol inhalation.
