Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

First report of microcystins in Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yesToxicon, 1998
This is the first report on microcystins from Microcystis aeruginosa Kützing in Taiwan. A total of nine strains of cyanobacteria have been isolated from eutrophic aquaculture ponds and water reservoirs. By mouse toxicity assay, six of the nine strains had LD100 in the range of 25-100 mg per kg mouse for dried bacterial mass. Microcystin-LR and -RR were

Newly isolated strains of potentially microcystin-producing cyanobacteria in potable water: case study of Mawoni village, South Africa

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Toxic cyanobacterial species occur in aquatic ecosystems when favourable environmental conditions prevail. These bacteria can produce natural hepatotoxic metabolites called microcystins that can affect the quality of water. Human exposure to microcystins

A Mini-Review on Detection Methods of Microcystins

open access: yesToxins, 2020
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) produce microcystins (MCs) which are associated with animal and human hepatotoxicity. Over 270 variants of MC exist. MCs have been continually studied due of their toxic consequences.

Decoding Aquaculture's Future: A Review of Molecular Docking and Simulation in Enhancing Growth and Disease Resistance

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has overtaken capture fisheries as the main source of aquatic animal protein, marking a critical step in global food security. Yet, rapid intensification faces major challenges, including disease outbreaks, environmental degradation, and dependence on wild‐caught fish for feed.

Adsorption of microcystins by carbon nanotubes [PDF]

open access: yesChemosphere, 2006
The production of cyanobacterial toxins microcystins (MCs) by cyanobacterial bloom which may promote the growth of tumor in human liver is a growing environmental problem worldwide. In this paper, the adsorption of MC-RR and LR, which were extracted from cyanobacterial cells in Dianchi Lake in China, by carbon nanotubes (CNTs), wood-based activated ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

A Mini Review on Microcystins and Bacterial Degradation

open access: yesToxins, 2020
Microcystins (MCs) classified as hepatotoxic and carcinogenic are the most commonly reported cyanobacterial toxins found in the environment. Microcystis sp.

Research Progress on Anti‐Inflammatory Adipokine SFRP5‐Mediated Lipid Metabolism and Its Potential Role in Neural Development

open access: yesImmunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To systematically review the structural features of secreted frizzled‑related protein 5 (SFRP5) and its dual regulation of canonical/non‑canonical Wnt signaling, analyze its association with metabolic disorders, and specifically explore the role and mechanisms of the SFRP5–lipid metabolism axis in neural and optic nerve development ...

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

open access: yesStudia 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 ...
