Corrigendum to “High-efficient and sustainable biodegradation of microcystin-LR using Sphingopyxis sp. YF1 immobilized Fe3O4@chitosan” [Colloids Surf. B: Biointerfaces 185 (2020) 1–10/110633]

Microbial biodegradation of microcystin-RR by bacterium Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05.

A strain, USTB-05, isolated from Lake Dianchi, China, degraded the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-RR (MC-RR) at the rate of 16.7 mg/L per day. Analysis of 16S rDNA sequence showed that the strain was Sphingopyxis sp. Enzymatic degradation pathways for MC-RR by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05 were identified. Adda-Arg peptide bond of MC-RR was cleaved and then a hydrogen and a hydroxyl were combined ...

Pathway for Biodegrading Microcystin-YR by Sphingopyxis sp. USTB-05

Harmful cyanobacterial blooms in waters have become a global environmental problem, this mainly due to the production and release of various microalgal toxins, in which microcystins (MCs) are distributed widely. Here, we focused on the study of a typical form of microcystins called microcystin-YR (MC-YR). It was found that initial 14.8 mg/L of MC-YR could be completely eliminated within 10 hr b...

Whole-Genome Sequence of the Microcystin-Degrading Bacterium Sphingopyxis sp. Strain C-1

This report describes the whole-genome sequence of an alkalitolerant microcystin-degrading bacterium, Sphingopyxis sp. strain C-1, isolated from a lake in China.

Biodegradation of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin LR in natural water and biologically active slow sand filters.

A bacterium (MJ-PV) previously demonstrated to degrade the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin LR, was investigated for bioremediation applications in natural water microcosms and biologically active slow sand filters. Enhanced degradation of microcystin LR was observed with inoculated (1 x 10(6) cell/mL) treatments of river water dosed with microcystin LR (>80% degradation within 2 days) compared...
