Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial toxins, exposure routes and human health
Geoffrey A. Codd,S. G. Bell,Kunimitsu Kaya,Clive J. Ward,Kenneth A. Beattie,James S. Metcalf +5 more
TL;DR: Advances in the recognition of cyanobacterial toxins and their toxicity, and of the exposure routes with reference to human health, namely via skin contact, inhalation, haemodialysis and ...
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and identification of the cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin and deoxy-cylindrospermopsin from a Thailand strain of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Cyanobacteria).
Renhui Li,Wayne W. Carmichael,Scott M. Brittain,Geoff Eaglesham,Glendon Reginald Shaw,A. Mahakhant,N. Noparatnaraporn,W. Yongmanitchai,Kunimitsu Kaya,Makoto M. Watanabe +9 more
TL;DR: This is the first report from Asia of a CYN, deoxy-CYN producing Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, and it is feared that this strain may contain CYN/CYN hybrids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology, genetic diversity, temperature tolerance and toxicity of Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii (Nostocales, Cyanobacteria) strains from Thailand and Japan
Duenrut Chonudomkul,Wichien Yongmanitchai,Gunjana Theeragool,Masanobu Kawachi,Fumie Kasai,Kunimitsu Kaya,Makoto M. Watanabe +6 more
TL;DR: Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii is a species that has recently begun to invade, and a species with different physiological strains or ecotypes in temperature tolerance; the toxin is synthesized without any relation to phylogenetic or genetic clusters and to geography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of the toxic cyclic heptapeptides, the microcystins, from blooms of microcystis (cyanobacteria) in a hypertrophic lake1
TL;DR: The in situ fate of the toxic cyclic heptapeptide produced by blooms of Microcystis was examined at two stations in a hypertrophic Japanese lake and accumulation of microcystin in zooplankton was indirectly estimated from a newly developed equation model.
