A Mini-Review on Detection Methods of Microcystins
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.

Machine Learning Assisted Fluorescent Sensor Array for Sensing Applications
Chemical analysis is being revolutionized by the combination of the high‐dimensional, multi‐channel signals generated by fluorescent sensor arrays and the powerful data analysis enabled by machine learning. This review covers state‐of‐the‐art studies that use machine learning techniques for the identification and quantification of fluorescent sensor ...

Bioaccumulation of Microcystins by Freshwater Mussels in Mystic Lake and Middle Pond, MA [PDF]
The UNH Center for Freshwater Biology investigated a possible relationship between a cyanobacteria bloom and a large-scale die-off of freshwater mussels in Mystic Lake and Middle Pond (Barnstable, MA).

Taxonomic diversity and toxicological assessment of Cyanobacteria in Moroccan inland waters [PDF]
Research on the ecology, biodiversity and toxicology of cyanobacteria in Moroccan inland waters has been carried out since 1994. The results demonstrate the existence of several taxa of cyanobacteria. Most of them are toxic, bloom‑forming species present

A Mini Review on Microcystins and Bacterial Degradation
Microcystins (MCs) classified as hepatotoxic and carcinogenic are the most commonly reported cyanobacterial toxins found in the environment. Microcystis sp.

MC‐LR stabilizes DNMT1/3a by blocking their ubiquitin‐mediated degradation, leading to Gpx4 promoter hypermethylation and E2F4/NCoR‐associated transcriptional repression, which drives renal tubular ferroptosis in mice. Pharmacological inhibition of DNA methylation (SGI‐1027) or ferroptosis (Fer‐1) disrupts this DNMT‐GPX4 axis, thereby alleviating MC‐LR‐

MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of Cyanobacteria: a global approach to the discovery of novel secondary metabolites [PDF]
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are a group of ancient prokaryotic organisms dating back between three and four billion years.¹ They have been attributed with oxygenating the earth’s atmosphere² but, since the anthropogenic euthrophication of lakes ...

Evidence of trophic transfer of microcystins from the gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis to the fish Gasterosteus aculeatus. [PDF]
International audienceAccording to our previous results the gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis exposed to MC-producing cyanobacteria accumulates microcystins (MCs) both as free and covalently bound forms in its tissues, therefore representing a potential risk ...

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