A Review of Nephrotoxicity of Microcystins [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Cyanobacterial blooms triggered by eutrophication and climate change have become a global public health issue. The toxic metabolites microcystins (MCs) generated by cyanobacteria can accumulate in food chain and contaminate water, thus posing a potential threat to human and animals health.

Chirality in microcystins [PDF]
Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, 1994 A new method has been developed to identify the isomers of amino acids by derivatization of the corresponding standards with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alanine amide (Marfey's reagent or FDAA) and analysis of the diastereomeric derivatives by a liquid chromatography-thermospray mass spectrometry technique.

Effects of lake warming on the seasonal risk of toxic cyanobacteria exposure
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2020 Incidence of elevated harmful algal blooms and concentrations of microcystin are increasing globally as a result of human‐mediated changes in land use and climate.

Overexpression of Nrf2 protects against microcystin-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Oxidative stress and glutathione (GSH) depletion are implicated in mycocystin hepatotoxicity. To investigate the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in microcystin-induced liver injury, Nrf2-null, wild-type, and Keap1-hepatocyte ...

Dog Poisonings Associated with a Microcystis aeruginosa Bloom in the Netherlands
Toxins, 2013 In early autumn 2011, three dogs died after they had been exposed to a Microcystis aeruginosa bloom on Lake Amstelmeer, The Netherlands. The cyanobacterial scum from the lake contained up to 5.27 × 103 μg g−1 dry-weight microcystin, the vomit of one of ...

Metagenomic identification of bacterioplankton taxa and pathways involved in microcystin degradation in lake erie. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cyanobacterial harmful blooms (CyanoHABs) that produce microcystins are appearing in an increasing number of freshwater ecosystems worldwide, damaging quality of water for use by human and aquatic life.

Microcystin-LR does not induce alterations to transcriptomic or metabolomic profiles of a model heterotrophic bacterium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Microcystins are secondary metabolites produced by several freshwater, bloom-forming cyanobacterial species. Microcystin-producing cyanobacteria co-occur with a complex community of heterotrophic bacteria.
