Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Diversity, Characterization and Toxicology of Microcystins.
Noureddine Bouaïcha,Christopher O. Miles,Daniel G. Beach,Zineb Labidi,Amina Djabri,Naila Yasmine Benayache,Tri Nguyen-Quang +6 more
TL;DR: An in-depth review of the literature surrounding the identification and toxicity of known MCs is conducted to clarify the current state of knowledge on the structural diversity of MCs as a class and the impacts of structure on toxicity, as well as to identify gaps in knowledge that should be addressed in future research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress in biodegradable polymers and nanocomposite-based packaging materials for sustainable environment
Jolanta Wróblewska-Krepsztul,Tomasz Rydzkowski,Gabriel Borowski,Mieczysław Szczypiński,Tomasz Klepka,Vijay Kumar Thakur +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the complex interaction between the food packaging materials and food was studied and it was discovered that biodegradable plastics made of such materials can be disposed of together with organic waste.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of the accumulation of microcystins in aquatic ecosystems
TL;DR: The use of water contaminated with MCs may induce food chain contaminations with considerable health risks, and this review summarizes the present state of knowledge regarding toxic cyanobacteria and MCs, with a specific focus on their distribution in different components of aquatic ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanobacterial bioactive metabolites—A review of their chemistry and biology
I-Shuo Huang,Paul V. Zimba +1 more
TL;DR: The original and new nomenclature are included in this review to clarify the origins of cyanobacterial bioactive compounds and provide a basis for more formal procedures to adopt a logical naming system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stable-isotope probing as a tool in microbial ecology
TL;DR: Stable-isotope probing offers a powerful new technique for identifying microorganisms that are actively involved in specific metabolic processes under conditions which approach those occurring in situ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Fatalities from Cyanobacteria: Chemical and Biological Evidence for Cyanotoxins
Wayne W. Carmichael,Sandra M.F.O. Azevedo,Ji Si An,Renato J.R. Molica,Elise M. Jochimsen,Sharon Lau,Kenneth L. Rinehart,Glendon Reginald Shaw,Geoff Eaglesham +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the major contributing factor to death of the dialyses patients was intravenous exposure to microcystins, specificallymicrocystin-YR, -LR, and -AR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlling harmful cyanobacterial blooms in a world experiencing anthropogenic and climatic-induced change
TL;DR: Water quality managers are in dire need of effective tools to break the synergy between nutrient loading and hydrologic regimes made more favorable for CyanoHABs by climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofilms: implications in bioremediation.
TL;DR: Biofilms are assemblages of single or multiple populations that are attached to abiotic or biotic surfaces through extracellular polymeric substances as discussed by the authors, which are especially suitable for the treatment of recalcitrant compounds because of their high microbial biomass and ability to immobilize compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
State of knowledge and concerns on cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins.
TL;DR: This paper provides a state of the art on the occurrence and management of harmful cyanobacterial blooms in surface and drinking water, including economic impacts and research needs.
