Cyanobacteria are ecologically one of the most prolific groups of phototrophic prokaryotes in
both marine and freshwater habitats. Both the beneficial and detrimental aspects of …

Microcystins (MCs) are common cyanotoxins produced by harmful cyanobacterial blooms
(HCBs) and severely threaten human and ecosystems health. Biodegradation is an efficient …

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

Microcystins (MCs) classified as hepatotoxic and carcinogenic are the most commonly
reported cyanobacterial toxins found in the environment. Microcystis sp. possessing a series …

To help ban the use of general toxic algicides, research efforts are now directed towards the
discovery of compounds that are specifically acting as cyanocides. Here, we review the past …

Hepatotoxic microcystins that are produced by freshwater cyanobacteria pose a risk to
public health. These compounds may be eliminated by enzymatic degradation. Here, we …

The treatment of cyanobacterial metabolites can consume many resources for water
authorities which can be problematic especially with the recent shift away from chemical-and …

In industrial countries, we take safe drinking water for granted. Due to an increase in world
population, the microbiological safety of drinking water is becoming a worldwide concern …

Imbalances in C: N: P supply ratios may cause bacterial resource limitations and constrain
biogeochemical processes, but the importance of shifts in soil stoichiometry are complicated …

Microcystinase (MlrA) was first described in 1996. Since then MlrA peptidase activity has
proven to be both the most efficient enzymatic process and the most specific catalyst of all …
