Potential endocrine disrupting activity of cyanobacteria: Possible roles for microcystins
, 2020 This thesis investigated the connection between two major global concerns: the infamous cyanobacteria (“blue-green algae”), and the endocrine disruptors, compounds able to interfere with the hormonal system.

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.

Cyanotoxins: New health risk factor in Serbia [PDF]
Archive of Oncology, 2008 Cyanobacteria are responsible for poisoning numerous cases of livestock and other animals, but sometimes they induce serious problems in humans. Mass occurrence and blooms of cyanobacteria were studied in rivers, canals, lakes, and accumulations that ...

Are We Underestimating Benthic Cyanotoxins? Extensive Sampling Results from Spain
Toxins, 2017 Microcystins (MCs) are potent hepatotoxins, and their presence in water bodies poses a threat to wildlife and human populations. Most of the available information refers to plankton, and much less is known about microcystins in other habitats. To broaden

Distributions and Bioaccumulation of Microcystins [PDF]
, 2022 Microcystins are hepatotoxins and tumor promotors, with various deleterious effects on plants as well. There are 270+ known congeners of the toxin microcystin, structural variants of the molecule. These hepatotoxins are produced by cyanobacteria, and are

Microcystin Prevalence throughout Lentic Waterbodies in Coastal Southern California
Toxins, 2017 Toxin producing cyanobacterial blooms have increased globally in recent decades in both frequency and intensity. Despite the recognition of this growing risk, the extent and magnitude of cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxin prevalence is poorly ...

Microcystin Production in the Tripartite Cyanolichen Peltigera leucophlebia
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009 We show that the cyanobacterial symbionts of a tripartite cyanolichen can produce hepatotoxic microcystins in situ. Microcystins were detected with high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry both from cephalodia of the tripartite ...
