Biodegradation of [D-Leu1] microcystin-LR by a bacterium isolated from sediment of Patos Lagoon estuary, Brazil [PDF]
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2015 Background Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are recurrent in Patos Lagoon, in southern Brazil. Among cyanotoxins, [D-Leu1] microcystin-LR is the predominant variant whose natural cycle involves water and sediment compartments. This study aimed to identify and

Variability of the Spreading of the Patos Lagoon Plume Using Numerical Drifters
Coasts, 2022 The Patos Lagoon coastal plume is a small-scale outflow that is strongly controlled by meteorological tides. However, the riverine discharge of the lagoon is subject to high decadal variability. Hence, the discharge amount alters the scale of this coastal plume and its effects over the inner shelf environment.
