Potentially poisonous plastic particles: microplastics as a vector for cyanobacterial toxins microcystin-LR and microcystin-LF. [PDF]
The potential of microplastics to act as a vector for micropollutants of natural or anthropogenic origin is of rising concern. Cyanobacterial toxins, including microcystins, are harmful to humans and wildlife.

ABSTRACT The increasing demand for protein‐enriched foods has renewed interest in farinaceous products as widely consumed and technologically adaptable matrices for nutritional improvement. However, protein enrichment cannot be evaluated solely by increases in crude protein content, as nutritional value depends on essential amino acid (EAA) balance ...

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Microcystins, which are cyclic heptapeptides produced by some cyanobacterial species from algal blooms, strongly inhibit serine/threonine protein phosphatase and are known as hepatotoxins.

Absence of Cyanotoxins in Llayta, Edible Nostocaceae Colonies from the Andes Highlands
Edible Llayta are cyanobacterial colonies consumed in the Andes highlands. Llayta and four isolated cyanobacteria strains were tested for cyanotoxins (microcystin, nodularin, cylindrospermopsin, saxitoxin and β-N-methylamino-L-alanine—BMAA) using ...

ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) threaten human, animal, and ecosystem health and safety through production of toxic secondary metabolites. Microcystis, a cosmopolitan bloom‐forming cyanobacterial genus, is well‐known for producing hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs), but it can produce many other bioactive cyanopeptides, such as ...

Physiological and biochemical microcystin-RR toxicity to the Synechococcus elongatus
Freshwater Microcystis may form dense blooms in eutrophic lakes. It is known to produce a family of related cyclic hepatopeptides (microcystins, MC) that constitute a threat to aquatic ecosystems.

A seasonal time series metatranscriptome dataset suggests that neutralising hydrogen peroxide in Microcystis blooms requires a complex division of labour that is further complicated by seasonality and bloom development. ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are expanding globally and often involve toxin‐producing species such as ...

Microcystins are cyclic heptapeptide hepatoxins produced by many species of cyanobacteria. The toxic effects and mechanism of microcystins on animals have been well studied both in vivo and in vitro.
