A review of neurotoxicity of microcystins
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2016Cyanobacterial blooms-produced microcystins are secondary metabolites which can accumulate in the food chain and contaminate water, thus posing a potential threat to the health of aquatic animals and even humans. Microcystin toxicity affects not only the liver but also the other organs, i.e., the brain.

Dynamics of microcystins and saxitoxin in the Indian River Lagoon, Florida.
Harmful Algae, 2021Harmful algal blooms that can produce toxins are common in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), which covers ~250 km of Florida's east coast. The current study assessed the dynamics of microcystins and saxitoxin in six segments of the IRL: Banana River Lagoon (

Journal of Chromatography A, 2001
Microcystins are an increasingly important group of bioactive compounds produced by a number of mainly planktonic cyanobacteria. They are a family of cyclic heptapeptides that cause both acute and chronic toxicity. Purified microcystins are utilised in a range of research applications including toxicological and biochemical studies, development of ...

Biosensing of microcystins in water samples; recent advances.
Biosensors & bioelectronics, 2020Safety and quality of water are significant matters for agriculture, animals and human health. Microcystins, as secondary metabolite of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and cyclic heptapeptide cyanotoxin, are one of the main marine toxins in continental ...

A review of reproductive toxicity of microcystins.
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2016Animal studies provide strong evidence of positive associations between microcystins (MCs) exposure and reproductive toxicity, representing a threat to human reproductive health and the biodiversity of wild life. This paper reviews current knowledge of the reproductive toxicity of MCs, with regard to mammals, fishes, amphibians, and birds, mostly in ...

Microcystins: biogenesis, toxicity, analysis and control.
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2020Microcystins are cyclic peptide toxins formed by cyanobacteria. These toxins are recognized for their association with algal blooms, posing a significant threat to ecosystems and drinking water quality.

Effects of microcystins on fish
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2006Abstract Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxic heptapeptides released into water during or on senescence of cyanobacterial blooms. This review details the different effects of the MCs on fish and discusses their potential consequences in aquatic food webs.

Toxicology and Evaluation of Microcystins
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 2000This paper reviews the toxicity and tumor-promoting properties of microcystins. Methods for screening and/or identification of microcystins in environmental samples are discussed and compared. Specific emphasis is placed on newly developed extraction/detection methods, e.g., solid phase microextraction (SPME) technique, and capillary electrophoresis ...

Microbial Degradation of Microcystins
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2013Hepatotoxic microcystins that are produced by freshwater cyanobacteria pose a risk to public health. These compounds may be eliminated by enzymatic degradation. Here, we review the enzymatic pathways for the degradation of these hepatotoxins, some of which are newly discovered processes.
