Hepatotoxic Seafood Poisoning (HSP) Due to Microcystins: A Threat from the Ocean?

Marine Drugs, 2013
Cyanobacterial blooms are a major and growing problem for freshwater ecosystems worldwide that increasingly concerns public health, with an average of 60% of blooms known to be toxic.

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

Release and removal of intracellular and extracellular microcystins (RR, LR) using nano-Fe3O4 particles as a coagulant aid for polyaluminum chloride

Water-Energy Nexus
The outbreak of algal blooms caused by cyanobacteria has led to a significant concern regarding water safety due to the release of microcystins. This study aimed to investigate the release and removal of microcystins (RR, LR) using coagulant polyaluminum

The Importance of Lake Sediments as a Pathway for Microcystin Dynamics in Shallow Eutrophic Lakes

Toxins, 2015
Microcystins are toxins produced by cyanobacteria. They occur in aquatic systems across the world and their occurrence is expected to increase in frequency and magnitude. As microcystins are hazardous to humans and animals, it is essential to understand

Widespread distribution and identification of eight novel microcystins in Antarctic cyanobacterial mats

, 2008
The microcystin content and cyanobacterial community structure of Antarctic microbial mat samples collected from 40 ponds, lakes and hydro-terrestrial environments were investigated. Samples were collected from Bratina Island and four of the Dry Valleys;

Further characterization of glycine-containing microcystins from the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica

, 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 ...
