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.

Measurable microcystin in Ozark streams was rare during summer 2018 baseflow conditions
Agricultural & Environmental Letters, 2022 Accelerated eutrophication due to human activity has been linked to an increase in the occurrence of cyanobacteria in freshwater systems. The purpose of this study was to document the occurrence of microcystin, a common cyanotoxin, within northwest ...

Toxins, 2016 The microcystin biodegradation potential of a natural bacterial community coexisting with a toxic cyanobacterial bloom was investigated in a water reservoir from central Spain. The biodegradation capacity was confirmed in all samples during the bloom and

Insight Into the Molecular Mechanisms for Microcystin Biodegradation in Lake Erie and Lake Taihu
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Microcystins are potent hepatotoxins that are frequently detected in fresh water lakes plagued by toxic cyanobacteria. Microbial biodegradation has been referred to as the most important avenue for removal of microcystin from aquatic environments.

Toxic mechanisms of microcystins in mammals [PDF]
Toxicology Research, 2017 This review discusses mechanisms of toxicity, particularly those observed in liver tissue, mediated by microcystins (MCs) produced by cyanobacteria.

Phytotoxicity associated to microcystins: a review [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2014 Microcystins (MC) are the most studied toxins of cyanobacteria since they are widely distributed and account for several cases of human and animal poisoning, being potent inhibitors of the serine/threonine protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A). The phosphatases PP1 and PP2A are also present in plants, which may also suffer adverse effects due to ...

Marine Drugs, 2014 Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic peptides produced by cyanobacteria, which can be harmful to humans and animals when ingested. Differences in the coding of the non‑ribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase enzyme complex responsible for microcystin ...
