Electrochemical Degradation of Microcystin-LR

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part A, 2005
Microcystin-LR present in drinking water sources poses a considerable threat to human health. Conventional oxidation treatment systems, such as photocatalysis and ferrate oxidation, demonstrated the formation of by-products detectable in the treated microcystin-LR solution.

Microcystin Dynamics in Aquatic Organisms

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, 2009
Eutrophication of surface water has increased significantly during the past decade, resulting in increased occurrences of toxic blooms. Cyanotoxins have become a global health threat to humans, wild animals, or domestic livestock. Hepatotoxic microcystins (MC) are the predominant cyanotoxins, which accumulate in aquatic organisms and are transferred to

Biodegradation of microcystins and nodularin in freshwaters

Chemosphere, 2008
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) was readily biodegraded on addition to six different water samples irrespective of their previous exposure to microcystins. Subsequent studies with water from three of these water bodies confirmed the degradation of MC-LR and also demonstrated the biodegradation of MC-LF, nodularin and mixture of microcystins and nodularin.

Chromatography of microcystins

Analytica Chimica Acta, 1997
Abstract This review deals with the analytical and preparative chromatography of microcystins and nodularins, cyclic peptide liver toxins and tumor promoters from cyanobacteria. The chemistry of the toxins, extraction from various matrices, separation on different stationary phases, and detection of intact and derivatized toxins are considered.

Allelopathic interactions between microcystin-producing and non-microcystin-producing cyanobacteria and green microalgae: implications for microcystins production

Journal of Applied Phycology, 2014
Most mixed culture studies on the allelopathic interactions between toxic and nontoxic cyanobacteria with phytoplankton species rarely investigate the role of microcystins (MC) production and regulation in the course of the studies. This study investigated the interactions between intact cells of toxic (Microcystis aeruginosa (Kutzing) Kutzing) and ...

A review of reproductive toxicity of microcystins

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2016
Animal studies provide strong evidence of positive associations between microcystins (MCs) exposure and reproductive toxicity, representing a threat to human reproductive health and the biodiversity of wild life. This paper reviews current knowledge of the reproductive toxicity of MCs, with regard to mammals, fishes, amphibians, and birds, mostly in ...
