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 ...

Microcystins in water and in microalgae
Toxicology Reports, 2018 Microcystins have been the subject of increasingly alarming popular and scientific articles, which have taken as their unquestionable foundation the provisional Guideline of 1 μg/L established by the WHO Panel on microcystins levels in water, and ...

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 ...

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.

Toxins, 2022 The incidence of eutrophication is increasing due to fertilizer abuse and global warming. Eutrophication can induce the proliferation of cyanobacteria such as Microcystis, which produces microcystins. Microcystins are toxic to specific organs such as the

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.
