ABSTRACT One of the major subfields of chemical ecology is the study of toxins and how they mediate interactions between organisms. Toxins produced by harmful algae (phycotoxins) impact a wide variety of organisms connected to the marine food web. Significant research efforts have thus aimed to identify the ecological and evolutionary drivers behind ...

Avaliação da filtração em margem como pré-tratamento à filtração direta descendente na remoção de células de cianobactérias e saxitoxinas [PDF]
Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Ambiental, Florianópolis, 2009.Currently, water treatment plants, which utilize downflow direct filtration technology, have been facing

Impact of cardiac and respiratory arrest on cardiac muscle tissue. Wistar rats were injected (on the left) either with cisatracurium to induce a respiratory arrest or lidocaine to induce a cardiac arrest (in the middle). Further, the pathophysiological changes developed and were assessed with linear polarization microscopy at 600–3000 nm wavelength ...

Abstract Bioluminescent bays (biobays) are uncommon coastal ecosystems featuring dense populations of dinoflagellates, often found in mangrove‐ringed lagoons with long water retention times and high organic matter (OM) levels. Although mangroves are associated with high dinoflagellate abundance, it remains uncertain how inorganic nutrients compare with

Saxitoxins: role of prokaryotes [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2001Saxitoxins, the toxins associated with paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP), are synthesized by dinoflagellates, cyanobacteria, and possibly bacteria.

A rapid bioassay for detecting saxitoxins using a Daphnia acute toxicity test
Bioassays using Daphnia pulex and Moina micrura were designed to detect cyanobacterial neurotoxins in raw water samples. Phytoplankton and cyanotoxins from seston were analyzed during 15 months in a eutrophic reservoir. Effective time to immobilize 50%

A Review of Common Cyanotoxins and Their Effects on Fish
Global warming and human-induced eutrophication drive the occurrence of various cyanotoxins in aquatic environments. These metabolites reveal diversified mechanisms of action, encompassing cyto-, neuro-, hepato-, nephro-, and neurotoxicity, and pose a ...

Abstract Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) are increasingly frequent and severe globally. Recently, the St. Louis River Estuary (SLRE) has experienced numerous cHABs, but the locations, timing, and environmental conditions associated with them are unknown.

Cardiac remodeling and arrhythmia in a mouse model of Depdc5 haploinsufficiency
Abstract Objective Some ion channel genes linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) are also linked to cardiac arrhythmia, leading to the hypothesis that predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias may contribute to the complex disease presentation of DEE and possibly to the mechanism of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy.

Assessing the fate and biodegradation of cyanobacterial metabolites in Australian waters
With the exception of the saxitoxins, the cyanobacterial metabolites studied were shown to be biodegradable in two South Australian waters with the rate of biodegradation of the metabolites influenced by temperature and to a lesser extent, seasonal ...
