The occurrence of cyanobacterial toxins is being increasingly reported. This is a reason for
concern as they can induce toxic effects both in humans and in the environment. Among …

Cyanotoxins called microcystins (MCs) are highly toxic and can be present in drinking water
sources. Determining the structure of MCs is paramount because of its effect on toxicity …

Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) produce microcystins (MCs) which are
associated with animal and human hepatotoxicity. Over 270 variants of MC exist. MCs have …

Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, may be prevalent in our rivers and tap water. These
minuscule bacteria can grow swiftly and form blooms in warm, nutrient-rich water. Toxins …

Cyanobacterial and algal toxins comprise a large group of harmful metabolites, belonging to
different chemical classes, with a variety of chemical structures, physicochemical properties …

Microcystins (MCs) are a class of biologically active cyclic heptapeptide pollutants produced
by the freshwater alga Microcystis aeruginosa. With increased environmental pollution, MCs …

Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxins, produced by various species of cyanobacteria, whose
