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 ...

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 ...

Degradation of microcystin-LR by aquatic bacteria. [PDF]
, 2007 Microcystins are cyclic heptapeptide toxins produced by cyanobacteria. They are potentially a threat to human and domestic animals so are of worldwide interest. Microcystin-LR is stable in various environmental conditions.

Investigation of the toxicity of cyanobacterial peptides by chemical biology approaches [PDF]
, 2014 Global warming together with the extensive agriculture favours the uncontrolled growth of cyanobacteria, also called blue-green algae. Being one of the oldest life forms on our planet, they have reached evolutionary perfection over time.

Characteristics of a Microcystin-Degrading Bacterium under Alkaline Environmental Conditions
Journal 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.

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.
