Cyanobacterial algal blooms are ubiquitous around the globe and lead to severe cyanotoxin
pollution, which poses a severe threat to the safety of drinking water. Microcystins (MCs), the …

Laguna Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines, is permanently subject to
nutrient-driven eutrophication and pollution and experiences harmful algal blooms …

Microcystins and nodularins produced by cyanobacteria are potent hepatotoxins and tumor
promoters. They are, respectively, cyclic heptapeptides and cyclic pentapeptides containing …

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

With the aim of explaining the variations in microcystin (MC) concentrations during
cyanobacterial blooms, we studied several Microcystis aeruginosa populations blooming in …

Bismuth oxide bromide, BiOBr, was used to catalyze the degradation of microcystin-LR (MC-
LR) in water at neutral pH under visible light. During the investigation, twelve intermediates …

Cyanobacteria can form dense blooms that hamper recreation by diminished water clarity,
bad odour and taste. Moreover, some cyanobacteria are toxic and cause incidental illness or …

Freshwater cyanobacteria produce lethal toxins such as microcystins and anatoxins. During
the purification of microcystins in bloom samples we found that a toxic cyanobacterium …

The influences of spiramycin and amoxicillin on the algal growth, production and release of
target microcystins (MCs), MC-LR, MC-RR and MC-YR, in Microcystis aeruginosa were …
