Removal of microcystin-LR from aqueous solutions using % burn-off activated carbon of waste wood material [PDF]
, 2014 The activated carbon (AC), prepared at different burn-off rates, showed a high uptake of methylene blue. At 93% burn-off, methylene blue uptake was 620 mg/g.

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 ...

Studies on the immunosuppressive effects and detection of naturally-occuring toxins [PDF]
, 2012 Episodes of toxin-producing phytoplankton occur worldwide, causing both animal and human fatalities. Toxicity occurs through consumption of phycotoxins, including azaspiracid, which accumulate in filter-feeding shellfish. Microcystins are hepatotoxins,

Distributions and Bioaccumulation of Microcystins [PDF]
, 2022 Microcystins are hepatotoxins and tumor promotors, with various deleterious effects on plants as well. There are 270+ known congeners of the toxin microcystin, structural variants of the molecule. These hepatotoxins are produced by cyanobacteria, and are

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.
