Characterization of Taxonomic and Functional Dynamics Associated with Harmful Algal Bloom Formation in Recreational Water Ecosystems

Toxins
Harmful algal bloom (HAB) formation leads to the eutrophication of water ecosystems and may render recreational lakes unsuitable for human use. We evaluated the applicability and comparison of metabarcoding, metagenomics, qPCR, and ELISA-based methods ...

Establishment of cell model for the study of cytotoxicity induced by microcystin-LR [PDF]

, 2006
Microcystins are a group of closely related cyclic heptapeptides produced by a variety of common cyanobacteria. These toxins cause hepatocyte damage by inhibiting protein phosphastases I and 2A, resulting in hyperphosphorylation of a number of different ...

Two New Strains of Microcystis Cyanobacteria from Lake Baikal, Russia: Ecology and Toxigenic Potential

Limnological Review
Microcystis, a potentially toxigenic cyanobacterium known to form extensive blooms in eutrophic lakes globally, was investigated in the cold oligotrophic Lake Baikal.

First report of microcystin production in Microcystis smithii Komarek and Anagnostidis (Cyanobacteria) from a water bloom in Eastern China [PDF]

, 2011
A water bloom sample collected from Lake Dishui in Shanghai was characterized. The morphological identification showed that Micorcystis wesenbergii and Micorcystis smithii were the main component of the bloom. Five strains of M. smithii were successfully

Microcystins and diseases

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.

Generating microcystin antibodies by phage display [PDF]

, 2007
A naïve human antibody fragment phage display library was screened against conjugated microcystin-LR (MCLR).  Phage antibodies were eluted with free MCLR to promote the isolation of free antigen binders.
