Morphological evolution from a unicellular to multicellular state provides greater
opportunities for organisms to attain larger and more complex living forms. As the most …

The monocyclic heptapeptides microcystins (MCs), are a group of hepatotoxins, produced
worldwide by some bloom-forming cyanobacterial species/strains both in marine and …

In aquaculture industry, fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants are cultivated in fresh, salt, or
brackish waters. The increasing demand of aquatic products has stimulated the rapid growth …

Cyanobacterial blooms are a current cause for concern globally, with vital water sources
experiencing frequent and increasingly toxic blooms in the past decade. These increases …

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria inhabiting water surface. They can increase to
form a mass large enough, termed as cyanobacterial bloom. Cyanobacterial blooms can …

Global eutrophication and climate warming exacerbate production of cyanotoxins such as
microcystins (MCs), presenting risks to human and animal health. Africa is a continent …

Abstract A simple, rapid UHPLC-MS/MS method has been developed and optimised for the
quantitation of microcystins and nodularin in wide variety of sample matrices. Microcystin …

Over the past few decades, there has been an increased frequency and duration of
cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in freshwater systems globally. These can …

Water is life without pollution, but death when it is polluted. The objective of this study is to
conduct a literature review of environmental effects of surface water pollution. The method …

Recently, there has been a rise in freshwater harmful algal blooms (HABs) globally, as well
as increasing aquaculture practices. HABs can produce cyanotoxins, many of which are …
