Screening the toxicity and toxin content of blooms of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum (Ehrenberg) in northeast Brasil

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2009
Blooms of the cyanobacterium Trichodesmium occur in massive colored patches over large areas of tropical and subtropical oceans. Recently, the interest in such events has increased given their role in major nitrogen and carbon dioxide oceanic fluxes ...

Road salt pollution shifts urban stormwater ponds toward cyanobacterial dominance

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 6, Page 934-944, December 2025.
Abstract Urban environments contend with an array of stressors, including salinization by deicing road salts. To advance understanding of how road salt pollution affects aquatic ecosystem functioning, we surveyed primary producers in 50 stormwater ponds in Brampton, Canada.

Procedures of partial purification for phycobiliproteins from cyanobacteria isolated from soils of Republic of Moldova

Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai. Biologia, 2018
Investigation of the new cyanobacterial strains, for use as potential sources of bioactive substances, including phycobiliproteins, encounters some difficulties due to presence of toxins (microcystins) produced by some cyanobacterial strains ...

Microcystins with Modified Adda⁵-Residues from a Heterologous Microcystin Expression System

ACS Omega
Microcystins are hepatotoxic cyclic heptapeptides produced by some cyanobacterial species and usually contain the unusual β-amino acid 3S-amino-9S-methoxy-2S,6,8S-trimethyl-10-phenyl-4E,6E-decadienoic acid (Adda) at position-5. The full microcystin gene cluster from Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806 has been expressed in Escherichia coli.

Gastrointestinal toxicity induced by microcystins

World Journal of Clinical Cases, 2018
Microcystins (MCs) are produced by certain bloom-forming cyanobacteria that can induce toxicity in various organs, including renal toxicity, reproductive toxicity, cardiotoxicity, and immunosuppressive effects. It has been a significant global environmental issue due to its harm to the aquatic environment and human health.

P4‐ATPases as Phospholipid Flippases: From Membrane Dynamics to Human Disorders

Medicine Bulletin, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 121-135, December 2025.
ABSTRACT P4‐ATPases (P4 subfamily of P‐type ATPases) flippase complex includes an α‐subunit responsible for catalysis and a supporting β‐subunit, which consumes energy by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ATP, thereby facilitating the translocation of aminophospholipids from the outer to the inner leaflet of cellular membranes to maintain the asymmetric ...

Toxicity and genotoxicity in Astyanax bimaculatus (Characidae) induced by microcystins from a bloom of Microcystis spp

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010
Studies of genotoxicity in fish caused by cyanobacterial microcystins can be useful both in determining the sensitivity of native species, as well as comparing exposure routes.
