Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes with wide geographic distribution that can
produce secondary metabolites named cyanotoxins. These toxins can be classified into …

Cyanobacteria are one of the most diverse groups of gram-negative photosynthetic
prokaryotes. Many of them are able to produce a wide range of toxic secondary metabolites …

Microcystins (MICs) are potent toxins produced worldwide by cyanobacteria during bloom
events. Phosphatases inhibition is a well recognized effect of this kind of toxins as well as …

Microcystins (MCs) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN) are among the most frequent toxins
produced by cyanobacteria. These toxic secondary metabolites are classified as …

Contaminants are ubiquitous in the environment and their impacts are of increasing concern
due to human population expansion and the generation of deleterious effects in aquatic …

We assessed changes in activities of both detoxification and antioxidant enzymes as well as
lipid peroxidation levels in liver, gill, intestine and brain of Corydoras paleatus exposed to …

The uptake and accumulation of microcystin-RR (MC-RR) in fish was investigated under
laboratory conditions and in wild fish. Jenynsia multidentata and Corydoras paleatus were …

Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress may play a significant role in causing
microcystin (MCs) toxicity not only in mammals, but also in fish. MCs are a family of cyclic …

Cyanobacterial blooms-produced microcystins are secondary metabolites which can
accumulate in the food chain and contaminate water, thus posing a potential threat to the …

Abstract Cyanobacteria of the Baltic Sea have multiple effects on organisms that influence
the food chain dynamics on several trophic levels. Cyanobacteria contain several bioactive …
