Characterization of Aerosols Containing Microcystin [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2007 Toxic blooms of cyanobacteria are ubiquitous in both freshwater and brackishwater sources throughout the world. One class of cyanobacterial toxins, calledmicrocystins, is cyclic peptides. In addition to ingestion and dermal, inhalation is a likelyroute of human exposure.

Statewide Intensification of Harmful Algal Blooms Across California Lakes and Reservoirs
GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Monitoring cyanobacteria is crucial for assessing water quality, safeguarding public health, and understanding ecosystem dynamics impacted by harmful algal blooms. This study explores the potential of satellite remote sensing (SRS) to assess risks of cyanotoxin exposure in California's recreational waters from 2002 to 2011 and 2016 to 2023 ...

The accumulation of the cyanobacterial toxin, microcystin, in cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and bush bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants [PDF]
, 2013 We aimed to develop a high-sensitivity method to detect microcystin toxins in fruit tissue and to determine if irrigation with water containing toxic cyanobacteria may result in accumulation of microcystin toxins in fruit tissue and affect fruit ...

Variations in the Microcystin Content of Different Fish Species Collected from a Eutrophic Lake
Toxins, 2013 Microcystins produced from cyanobacteria can accumulate in fish tissues. Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is an attractive alternative to immunoassays for the determination of low concentrations of ...

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.This review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...

Cloning and expression of first gene for biodegrading microcystins by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05 [PDF]
, 2010 Harmful cyanobacterial blooms (HCBs) in natural waters are a growing environmental problem worldwide because microcystins (MCs) produced by cyanobacteria are potent hepatotoxins and tumor promoters. MCs are resistant against physical and chemical factors.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Planktothrix rubescens is a toxin‐producing filamentous cyanobacterium commonly found in temperate stratified lakes. Planktothrix rubescens regulates its buoyancy through intracellular gas vesicles and typically accumulates in the metalimnion during summer stratification, forming substantial biomass within a thin layer.

A Mini-Review on Detection Methods of Microcystins
Toxins, 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.

Taxonomic diversity and toxicological assessment of Cyanobacteria in Moroccan inland waters [PDF]
, 2009 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
