Recurrent blooms of harmful algae and cyanobacteria (HABs) plague many coastal and
inland waters throughout the United States and have significant socioeconomic impacts to …

Water crisis is a global issue due to water contamination and extremely restricted sources of
fresh water. Water contamination induces severe diseases which put human lives at risk …

Foodborne pathogenic bacteria present a crucial food safety issue. Conventional diagnostic
methods are time-consuming and can be only performed on previously produced food. The …

Microcystins are the most worldwide extended and common toxins produced by
cyanobacteria in freshwater. Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR), associated with the most …

Contamination of drinking water sources by cyanotoxins, including microcystins (MCs),
nodularins (NOD), cylindrospermopsin (CYN), anatoxin-a (ANA), homoanatoxin-a (HANA) …

Early warning systems for monitoring toxic events may benefit from the availability of
monoclonal antibodies enabling the sensitive and specific detection of anatoxin‐a, a …

Microcystins (MCs) are dangerous cyanotoxins for the public health, and microcystin-LR
(MC-LR) is one of most toxic, dangerous, and frequently found in water bodies. Typically, the …

Five different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed and
applied for the detection of five representatives of important families of chemical pollutants in …

We present an innovative concept of a screening tool for detecting free microcystin in
cyanobacteria using a sandwich immunodetection format, based on Michael addition …

Cyanobacteria present significant public health and engineering challenges due to their
expansive growth and potential synthesis of microcystins in surface waters that are used as …
