Nodularia spumigena Peptides—Accumulation and Effect on Aquatic Invertebrates
Toxins, 2015 Thus far, the negative effects of Nodularia spumigena blooms on aquatic organisms have been mainly attributed to the production of the hepatotoxic nodularin (NOD). In the current work, the accumulation of other N.

Cloning and Expression of Genes for Biodegrading Nodularin by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05
Toxins, 2019 Biodegradation is efficient for removing cyanobacterial toxins, such as microcystins (MCs) and nodularin (NOD). However, not all the microbial strains with the microcystin-biodegrading enzymes MlrA and MlrC could biodegrade NOD.

Cyanotoxins: methods and approaches for their analysis and detection [PDF]
, 2017 Cyanotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by cyanobacteria, a group of photosynthetic prokaryota especially found in freshwater. In favourable conditions (i.e. high nutrient levels, light intensity, water temperature), cyanobacteria can form blooms,

Chitosan-cellulose Composite Materials: Preparation, Characterization and Application for Removal of Microcystin [PDF]
, 2013 We developed a simple and one-step method to prepare biocompatible composites from cellulose (CEL) and chitosan (CS). [BMIm+Cl−], an ionic liquid (IL), was used as a green solvent to dissolve and prepare the [CEL + CS] composites. Since majority (\u3e88%)
