Effects of lake warming on the seasonal risk of toxic cyanobacteria exposure

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, 2020

Chirality in microcystins [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Dissolved Microcystin Release Coincident with Lysis of a Bloom Dominated by Microcystis spp. in Western Lake Erie Attributed to a Novel Cyanophage

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020
Viral attack on cHABs may contribute to changes in community composition during blooms, as well as bloom decline, yet loss of bloom biomass does not eliminate the threat of cHAB toxicity.

Temporal Dynamics of the Microbial Community Composition with a Focus on Toxic Cyanobacteria and Toxin Presence during Harmful Algal Blooms in Two South German Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Bacterioplankton plays an essential role in aquatic ecosystems, and cyanobacteria are an influential part of the microbiome in many water bodies. In freshwaters used for recreational activities or drinking water, toxic cyanobacteria cause concerns due to

Overexpression of Nrf2 protects against microcystin-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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

open access: yesToxins, 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 ...

Microcystin-LR does not induce alterations to transcriptomic or metabolomic profiles of a model heterotrophic bacterium. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Recent Advancement of Biosensor Technology for the Detection of Microcystin-LR

open access: yes, 2020
Microcystins are a class of toxins that are mainly produced by cyanobacteria and among them, microcystin-leucine arginine (microcystin-LR) is one of the most toxic and harmful of the fresh water to...

Characteristics of a Microcystin-Degrading Bacterium under Alkaline Environmental Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Toxicology, 2009
The pH of the water associated with toxic blooms of cyanobacteria is typically in the alkaline range; however, previously only microcystin-degrading bacteria growing in neutral pH conditions have been isolated.
