Further characterization of glycine-containing microcystins from the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica [PDF]
, 2015 Microcystins are hepatotoxic cyclic peptides produced by several cyanobacterial genera worldwide. In 2008, our research group identified eight new glycine-containing microcystin congeners in two hydro-terrestrial mat samples from the McMurdo Dry Valleys ...

Microcystin-LR Combined with Cadmium Exposures and the Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease: A Case–Control Study in Central China [PDF]
, 2022 Increasing evidence indicates that exposure to microcystin-LR (MC-LR) can cause kidney damage. However, the association between MC-LR exposure and chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk in humans has not been studied.

Microcystin-LR removal from Microcystis aeruginosa using in natura sugarcane bagasse and activated carbono [PDF]
, 2016 Microcystin-LR is a type of toxin released by the Microcystis aeruginosa cyanobacteria found in water sources used for human consumption. It can cause illness and even death if not completely removed in conventional water treatment. The retention of this

The Effects of Temperature on Microcystin-LR Toxicity to Bosmina Longirostris: Food Web Implications in the Chowan River, North Carolina [PDF]
, 2023 In the Chowan River, North Carolina, the frequency of Microcystis aeruginosa blooms has increased over recent years with an average 1.9°C rise in June water temperatures since 1975. Zooplankton are an important trophic link for toxins to move up the food

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 ...
