Measurable microcystin in Ozark streams was rare during summer 2018 baseflow conditions

open access: yesAgricultural & 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 ...

Laboratory-scale evaluation of algaecide effectiveness for control of microcystin-producing cyanobacteria from Lake Okeechobee, Florida (USA)

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Growth of microcystin-producing cyanobacteria in Lake Okeechobee (Florida, USA) and surrounding waters has resulted in adverse health impacts for humans and endangered species, as well as significant economic losses.

Metagenomic identification of bacterioplankton taxa and pathways involved in microcystin degradation in lake erie. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Insight Into the Molecular Mechanisms for Microcystin Biodegradation in Lake Erie and Lake Taihu

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Ultrasensitive Detection of Hepatotoxic Microcystin Production from Cyanobacteria Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Immunosensor.

open access: yesACS Sensors, 2019
Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is considered the most common hazardous toxin produced during harmful algal blooms. In addition to potential risk of long-term exposure to low concentrations in drinking water, acute toxicity due to MC-LR resulting from algal ...

Inactivation of the Burkholderia Toxin Malleicyprol by Enzymatic Cyclopropanol Ring Opening

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are dangerous pathogens that cause severe diseases with high mortality rates. Their virulence relies in part on malleicyprols, potent toxins containing a highly reactive cyclopropanol group. In this study, we identify BurK, a heme‐dependent oxidoreductase that neutralizes malleicyprols by enzymatically ...

Nitrogen limitation, toxin synthesis potential, and toxicity of cyanobacterial populations in Lake Okeechobee and the St. Lucie River Estuary, Florida, during the 2016 state of emergency event. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Lake Okeechobee, FL, USA, has been subjected to intensifying cyanobacterial blooms that can spread to the adjacent St. Lucie River and Estuary via natural and anthropogenically-induced flooding events.

Associations between chlorophyll a and various microcystin-LR health advisory concentrations [version 1; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are associated with a wide range of adverse health effects that stem mostly from the presence of cyanotoxins.

Environmental microcystin targets the microbiome and increases the risk of intestinal inflammatory pathology via NOX2 in underlying murine model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
With increased climate change pressures likely to influence harmful algal blooms, exposure to microcystin, a known hepatotoxin and a byproduct of cyanobacterial blooms can be a risk factor for NAFLD associated comorbidities.
