The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing
threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites …

The genus Sphingopyxis was first reported in the year 2001. Phylogenetically, Sphingopyxis
is well delineated from other genera Sphingobium, Sphingomonas and Novosphingobium of …

Abstract Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR), a cyclic potentially carcinogenic hepatotoxin,
occurs frequently in aquatic habitats worldwide and seriously threatens ecosystem and …

Cyanobacteria produce a wide range of structurally diverse cyanotoxins and bioactive
cyanopeptides in freshwater, marine, and terrestrial ecosystems. The health significance of …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become a global problem not only in aquatic habitats but
also in public health and safety due to the production of cyanotoxins as their secondary …

Bacteria in genus Novosphingobium associated with biodegradation of substrates are
prevalent in environments such as lakes, soil, sea, wood and sediments. To better …

Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) is considered the main factor that induces eutrophication
in water, and is readily influenced by hydrodynamic activities. In this study, a 4-year field …

Microcystinase (MlrA) was first described in 1996. Since then MlrA peptidase activity has
proven to be both the most efficient enzymatic process and the most specific catalyst of all …

Microcystins (MCs) significantly threaten the ecosystem and public health. Biodegradation
has emerged as a promising technology for removing MCs. Many MCs-degrading bacteria …

Hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) are produced and released by the harmful bloom-forming
cyanobacteria, which severely threaten drinking water safety and human health due to their …
