γ-Lindane Increases Microcystin Synthesis in Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806
HCH factories, and the waste dumpsites associated to its production, have become a global environmental concern, and their runoff could pollute ground and surface waters with high levels of the pollutant. In this study, the influence of lindane (γ-HCH) on microcystin production has been investigated in Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806. This toxic cyanobacterium is highly tolerant to γ-lindane (20...
متن کاملMicrocystin-degrading bacteria affect mcyD expression and microcystin synthesis in Microcystis spp.
Cyanobacterial blooms occur increasingly often and cause ecological, economic and human health problems worldwide. Microcystins (MCs) are the dominant toxins produced by cyanobacteria and are implicated in epidemic disease and environmental problems. Extensive research has been reported on the various regulating factors, e.g., light, temperature, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, pH, i...
متن کاملSwitching toxin production on and off: intermittent microcystin synthesis in a Microcystis bloom.
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms are increasing in prevalence. Microcystins are the most commonly produced cyanotoxin. Despite extensive research the variables regulating microcystin production remain unclear. Using a RT-QPCR assay that allowed the precise measurement of mcyE transcriptional gene expression and an ELISA that enabled small changes in total microcystin concentrations to be monitored, ...
متن کاملMicrocystin production by Microcystis aeruginosa in a phosphorus-limited chemostat.
The production of microcystins (MC) from Microcystis aeruginosa UTEX 2388 was investigated in a P-limited continuous culture. MC (MC-LR, MC-RR, and MC-YR) from lyophilized M. aeruginosa were extracted with 5% acetic acid, purified by a Sep-Pak C(18) cartridge, and then analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography with a UV detector and Nucleosil C(18) reverse-phase column. The specific gr...
متن کاملInfluence of temperature, mixing, and addition of microcystin‐LR on microcystin gene expression in Microcystis aeruginosa
Cyanobacteria, such as the toxin producer Microcystis aeruginosa, are predicted to be favored by global warming both directly, through elevated water temperatures, and indirectly, through factors such as prolonged stratification of waterbodies. M. aeruginosa is able to produce the hepatotoxin microcystin, which causes great concern in freshwater management worldwide. However, little is known ab...
