Macro‐ and micronutrient effects on phytoplankton in Green Bay, Lake Michigan, and the western basin of Lake Erie

Journal of Phycology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 1514-1527, December 2024.
Abstract Efforts to reduce the frequency, extent, and toxicity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) require knowledge about drivers of algal growth, toxin production, and shifts in phytoplankton community composition to cyanobacterial dominance. Although labile nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fuel primary production, micronutrients also play roles as the ...

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.

Single domain antibody: Development and application in biotechnology and biopharma

Immunological Reviews, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 98-112, November 2024.
Summary Heavy‐chain antibodies (HCAbs) are a unique type of antibodies devoid of light chains, and comprised of two heavy chains‐only that recognize their cognate antigen by virtue of a single variable domain also referred to as VHH, single domain antibody (sdAb), or nanobody (Nb).

Degradation of [Dha7]MC-LR by a Microcystin Degrading Bacterium Isolated from Lake Rotoiti, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2013
For the first time a microcystin-degrading bacterium (NV-3 isolate) has been isolated and characterized from a NZ lake. Cyanobacterial blooms in New Zealand (NZ) waters contain microcystin (MC) hepatotoxins at concentrations which are a risk to animal ...

Underway measurement of cyanobacterial microcystins using a surface plasmon resonance sensor on an autonomous underwater vehicle

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 22, Issue 9, Page 681-699, September 2024.
Abstract Freshwater cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CHABs) are a well‐known global public health threat. Monitoring and early detection of CHAB toxins are currently accomplished using labor‐intensive sampling techniques and subsequent shore‐based analyses, with results typically reported 24–48 h after sample collection.

Stability of cyanotoxins, microcystin-LR, microcystin-RR and nodularin in seawater and BG-11 medium of different salinity

Oceanologia, 2001
Microcystins and nodularin are potent hepatotoxins produced by fresh and seawater cyanobacteria. The persistence of three hepatotoxins - microcystin-LR, microcystin-RR and nodularin - was investigated in sterile BG-11 medium of different salinity and in ...

On the Chemistry, Toxicology and Genetics of the Cyanobacterial Toxins, Microcystin, Nodularin, Saxitoxin and Cylindrospermopsin

Marine Drugs, 2010
The cyanobacteria or “blue-green algae”, as they are commonly termed, comprise a diverse group of oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria that inhabit a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial environments, and display incredible morphological diversity.

The chemical and microbiological safety of emerging alternative protein sources and derived analogues: A review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract Climate change and changing consumer demand are the main factors driving the protein transition. This shift toward more sustainable protein sources as alternatives to animal proteins is also reflected in the rapid upscaling of meat and dairy food analogues.

Degradation of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin, nodularin, under light and dark conditions [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1997
The stability of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin, nodularin, was determined during the incubation of purified toxin, and in nodularin-containing cell-free extracts and whole filaments of the nodularin-producer, Nodularia spumigena in sunlight and darkness.

Cyanobacteria and their toxins in lichen symbiosis [PDF]

, 2012
Lichens are symbiotic associations between a fungus (mycobiont) and a photosynthetic partner (photobiont) which may be a green alga or cyanobacterium (cyanobiont).
