Microcystins in Water: Detection, Microbial Degradation Strategies, and Mechanisms
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022 Microcystins are secondary metabolites produced by some cyanobacteria, a class of cyclic heptapeptide toxins that are stable in the environment.

Toxic mechanisms of microcystins in mammals. [PDF]
Toxicology Research, 2017 This review discusses mechanisms of toxicity, particularly those observed in liver tissue, mediated by microcystins (MCs) produced by cyanobacteria.

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.

Further Characterization of Glycine-Containing Microcystins from the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica [PDF]
Toxins, 2015 Microcystins are hepatotoxic cyclic peptides produced by several cyanobacterial genera worldwide. In 2008, our research group identified eight new glycine-containing microcystin congeners in two hydro-terrestrial mat samples from the McMurdo Dry Valleys ...

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 the Effects of Freshwater Habitat Quality on Aquatic & Semi-Aquatic Turtles. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between freshwater turtles and their aquatic environments. We also highlight areas which have been over‐ or under‐studied and offer recommendations for future research. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles and terrapins require an aquatic habitat as part of their natural ecology ...

Cyanopeptide Mixtures Induce Variable Synergistic and Antagonistic Effects Across Diverse Human Cell Lines. [PDF]
Environ ToxicolABSTRACT 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 ...
