A Review of Nephrotoxicity of Microcystins [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Cyanobacterial blooms triggered by eutrophication and climate change have become a global public health issue. The toxic metabolites microcystins (MCs) generated by cyanobacteria can accumulate in food chain and contaminate water, thus posing a potential

A Mini-Review on Detection Methods of Microcystins
Toxins, 2020 Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) produce microcystins (MCs) which are associated with animal and human hepatotoxicity. Over 270 variants of MC exist. MCs have been continually studied due of their toxic consequences.

The Fate of Microcystins in the Environment and Challenges for Monitoring
Toxins, 2014 Microcystins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria that act as hepatotoxins in higher organisms. These toxins can be altered through abiotic processes, such as photodegradation and adsorption, as well as through biological processes via ...

Analysis of Microcystins in Cyanobacterial Blooms from Freshwater Bodies in England
Toxins, 2018 Cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater bodies in England are currently monitored reactively, with samples containing more than 20,000 cells/mL of potentially toxin-producing species by light microscopy resulting in action by the water body owner.

Microcystin Contamination and Toxicity: Implications for Agriculture and Public Health
Toxins, 2022 Microcystins are natural hepatotoxic metabolites secreted by cyanobacteria in aquatic ecosystems. When present at elevated concentrations, microcystins can affect water quality aesthetics; contaminate drinking water reservoirs and recreational waters ...

Simplified validation of the ELISA kit determination of Microcystins in surface water
Water Science and Technology, 2022 The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as a universal method for the determination of Microcystins, is of great significance for the rapid detection of Microcystins pollution.
