Phytoremediation of microcystins using Myriophyllum aquaticum can prevent sublethal effects in a Neotropical freshwater catfish

Revista Brasileira de Ciências Ambientais
Microcystins are cyanotoxins that can be produced by cyanobacteria species such as Microcystis aeruginosa. Due to the presence of microcystins in water bodies and aquatic organisms, it needs to be monitored.

Spatio-temporal variation of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in public supply reservoirs of the semi-arid region of Brazil

Journal of Limnology, 2019
Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) have become increasingly frequent and intense in public supply reservoirs as a result of eutrophication and global climate change.

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.

The short-term effect of nitrogen on freshwater cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins

Frontiers in Water
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a worldwide concern. Nutrients are among the numerous factors that trigger cyanobacterial blooms and the production of cyanotoxins. This study aimed to assess the effect of nitrogen on cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins through

Microcystins Exposure and the Risk of Metabolic Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study in Central China

Toxins
A growing body of evidence indicates that microcystins (MCs) exposure may cause metabolic diseases. However, studies exploring the effects of MCs exposure on the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in humans are currently lacking, and the underlying ...

Toxigenic Cyanobacteria and Microcystins in a Large Northern Oligotrophic Lake Onego, Russia

Toxins
Toxigenic cyanobacteria and microcystins in the oligotrophic pelagic zone and mesotrophic bay of Lake Onego—the second largest lake in Europe—were found for the first time. Microscopic analysis revealed that Dolichospermum lemmermannii, D.
