Microcystins: Potent xenobiotics [PDF]
Archive of Oncology, 2011 Having in mind that exposure to low levels of microcystin in drinking water represents the health risk for people, microcystins can be observed as potent xenobiotics.

Bioaccumulation of Microcystins in Lettuce
Journal of Phycology, 2012 The contamination of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by water‐borne crude extracts of the cyanobacterium microcystin‐producing Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing) Kützing was investigated. The aim of the study was to determine whether bioaccumulation of microcystins occurs in lettuce foliar tissue when sprayed with solutions containing microcystins at ...

Occurrence and Diversity of Cyanotoxins and Retinoid Compounds in Antarctic Microbial Mats: Evidence From James Ross Island. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepOccurrence and distribution of cyanotoxins and retinoids across different Antarctic ecosystems at James Ross Island. These ecosystems harbour diverse microbial communities dominated by autotrophic cyanobacteria and algae, which can produce hazardous compounds for animals.

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 threat to human and animals health.

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.
