The biodegradation of microcystins (MCs) by bacteria constitutes an important process in
freshwater ecosystems to prevent the accumulation of toxins. However, little is known about …

Massive proliferations of cyanobacteria coexist and have different interactions with other
microorganisms, including microcystin (MC)-degrading bacteria. Despite their relevance in …

Eutrophication of freshwater bodies followed by cyanobacterial bloom and toxin production
is an important issue in freshwater supply in both developed and developing countries. The …

The microcystin biodegradation potential of a natural bacterial community coexisting with a
toxic cyanobacterial bloom was investigated in a water reservoir from central Spain. The …

Degradation of realistic microcystin concentrations in lake water with indigenous bacteria
was studied in laboratory and field experiments following inoculation with lysed toxic algal …

Microcystins are potent hepatotoxins that are frequently detected in fresh water lakes
plagued by toxic cyanobacteria. Microbial biodegradation has been referred to as the most …

Microcystins (MC), the most prevalent group of harmful cyanobacterial hepatotoxins, are
primarily produced by strains of cyanobacteria in Microcystis, Anabaena and Planktothrix …

Bacterioplankton plays an essential role in aquatic ecosystems, and cyanobacteria are an
influential part of the microbiome in many water bodies. In freshwaters used for recreational …

Cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins occur in freshwater lakes and reservoirs all over the
world. Bacterial degradation of microcystins (MC), hepatotoxins produced by several …

Heterotrophic bacteria are suggested as the major agents that degrade microcystins (MCs),
a major cyanotoxins, in natural environments. However, little is known of the taxonomic and …
