7-Desmethyl-microcystin-RR, a hepatotoxin from a waterbloom of Microcystis aeruginosa.
A peptide toxin was isolated from a waterbloom of Microcystis aeruginosa from Lake Frøylandsvatn in Norway. The isolation procedure included liquid and solid phase extraction and reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography. Amino acid analysis yielded D-glutamic acid, D-erythro-beta-methylaspartic acid and D-alanine in equimolar and L-arginine in twofold molar ratios. The presence of ...
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...
متن کاملCadmium Toxicity to Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7806 and Its Microcystin-Lacking Mutant
The adverse effects of microcystin (MC) produced by cyanobacteria have drawn considerable attention from the public. Yet it remains unclear whether MC confers any benefits to the cyanobacteria themselves. One suggested function of MC is complexation, which may influence the bioaccumulation and toxicity of trace metals. To test this hypothesis, we examined Cd toxicity to wild-type Microcystis ae...
متن کاملDynamics of Protein Phosphatase Gene Expression in Corbicula fluminea Exposed to Microcystin-LR and to Toxic Microcystis aeruginosa Cells
This study investigated the in vivo effects of microcystins on gene expression of several phosphoprotein phosphatases (PPP) in the freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea with two different exposure scenarios. Clams were exposed for 96 h to 5 μg L(-1) of dissolved microcystin-LR and the relative changes of gene expression of three different types of PPP (PPP1, 2 and 4) were analyzed by quantitative ...
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...
