Toward Disentangling the Multiple Nutritional Constraints Imposed by Planktothrix: The Significance of Harmful Secondary Metabolites and Sterol Limitation

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The harmful bloom-forming cyanobacterium Planktothrix is commonly considered to be nutritionally inadequate for zooplankton grazers, resulting in limited top-down control.

Initial Assessment of the Detectability of Cyanotoxin Occurrence Using PACE Satellite Observations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Microcystin is a major public health hazard during freshwater cyanobacterial blooms, yet its remote detection remains challenging because it lacks any direct optical absorption features. We demonstrate that hyperspectral observations from NASA's PACE Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) can be used to detect elevated microcystin concentrations by ...

Spatial and temporal variations of microcystins in hepatopancreas of a freshwater snail from Lake Taihu

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, spatial and temporal variations of three common microcystins (MC-RR, MC-YR, and MC-LR) in the hepatopancreas of a freshwater snail (Bellamya aeruginosa) were studied monthly in two bays of Lake Taihu.

Characterization of Enzymatic Activity of MlrB and MlrC Proteins Involved in Bacterial Degradation of Cyanotoxins Microcystins

open access: yesToxins, 2016
Bacterial degradation of toxic microcystins produced by cyanobacteria is a common phenomenon. However, our understanding of the mechanisms of these processes is rudimentary.

Optimization of an effective extraction procedure for the analysis of microcystins in soils and lake sediments

open access: yes, 2006
Microcystin analysis in sediments and soils is considered very difficult due to low recovery for extraction. This is the primary limiting factor for understanding the fate of toxins in the interface between water and sediment in both the aquatic ...
