Development and field assessment of a quantitative PCR for the detection and enumeration of the noxious bloom-former Anabaena planktonica [PDF]
Anabaena planktonica is a harmful, bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterium, which has arrived recently in New Zealand. In the short time since its incursion (

An Integrative Remote Sensing Application of Stacked Autoencoder for Atmospheric Correction and Cyanobacteria Estimation Using Hyperspectral Imagery [PDF]
Hyperspectral image sensing can be used to effectively detect the distribution of harmful cyanobacteria. To accomplish this, physical- and/or model-based simulations have been conducted to perform an atmospheric correction (AC) and an estimation of ...

Pesticide contamination in aquatic environments poses severe risks to fish health, causing oxidative stress, immunosuppression, endocrine disruption, and neurotoxicity. These effects result from the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROSs), enzyme inhibition, and damage to physiological systems. Plant‐derived compounds and phytochemicals, such as

Chitosan-cellulose Composite Materials: Preparation, Characterization and Application for Removal of Microcystin [PDF]
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%)

Effects of Seasonal Dynamics on Cyanobacteria Proliferation in Aquaculture Fish Ponds
Aquaculture production supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), by enhancing food security and sustainable practices. This study investigated the seasonal dynamics of cyanobacterial (CB) blooms in aquaculture fishponds in South Africa (SA) and Nigeria (NGA). Water samples were collected twice per

CYANO RT-Microarray: A Novel Tool to Detect Gene Expression in Cyanobacteria [PDF]
EU μAQUA made early warning systems for freshwater pathogens and toxins. Barcodes for each cyanobacterial toxin gene published before 2011 were designed and used in a microarray format to capture messenger RNA to detect toxin gene expression at early ...

Monitoring of freshwater toxins in European environmental waters by using novel multi-detection methods [PDF]
Monitoring the quality of freshwater is an important issue for public health. In the context of the European project μAqua, 150 samples were collected from several waters in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Turkey for 2 yr.
