MicrocystinCyanobacteriaProteomicsCyanotoxins including microcystins are increasing globally, escalating health risks to humans and wildlife. Freshwater fish can accumulate and retain microcystins in tissues; however, uptake and depuration studies thus far have not exposed fish to microcystins in its ...
Toxic cyanobacteria blooms are a frequent problem in subtropical reservoirs and freshwater systems. The purpose of this study was to investigate the occurrence of potentially toxic cyanobacteria and the environmental conditions associated with the presence of cyanotoxins in a Brazilian subtropical reservoir....
Environmental Protection Agency has not set standards for cyanotoxin exposure for either recreational or drinking water, although it has added microcystin-LR and other cyanotoxins to its drinking water Contaminant Candidate List for further research. Musty warnings of toxicity The EPA announced in Augus...
There is also laboratory-based evidence to suggest that intracel- lular microcystin (MC), an important cyanotoxin found in surface waters (Brittain et al. 2000), can serve as an intracellular ligand with a high affinity for trace metal Fe as a means to store Fe within the cell during Fe-...
The global increase of toxin-producing cyanobacteria poses a serious risk to humans. Many investigations have shown that the cyanotoxin microcystin-LR induces hepatotoxicity in rodents. However, many of these studies applied the toxin intraperitoneally or used high oral concentrations, leading to an ...
We exposed parasite transmission spores to different levels of one of two ecologically important cyanotoxins, microcystin鈥怢R and anatoxin鈥恆, and factorially manipulated the amount of time spores were incubated in water. We removed the toxins and used those same spores to infect one genotype ...

A strong association between exposure to the common harmful algal bloom toxin microcystin and the altered host gut microbiome has been shown. We tested the hypothesis that prior exposure to the cyanotoxin microcystin-LR may alter the host resistome. We show that the mice exposed to microcystin-LR...
