Acute Toxicity and No Observable Adverse Effect Level of Nodularin-R in Mice [PDF]
ToxinsNodularin is a cyanobacterial toxin predominantly produced by Nodularia spumigena Mertens. This cyanobacterium has been associated with fish, bird, and animal deaths, and the toxin can contaminate fish and shellfish intended for human consumption.

The photocatalytic destruction of the cyanotoxin, nodularin using TiO2 [PDF]
Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, 2005 Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) photocatalysis has been used to initiate the destruction of nodularin, a natural hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria. The destruction process was monitored using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis which has also enabled the identification of a number of the photocatalytic decomposition products.

Role of cyanotoxins in the development and promotion of cancer [PDF]
Toxicology ReportsCyanotoxins are primarily produced by different species of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, and have appeared to be environmental poisons that have various toxic effects on animal health, including humans.
