Investigation of novel methods to remove the cyanotoxin, Cylindrospermopsin, from drinking water.
… The current work focuses on the cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin that was originally known to be produced by the cyanobacterium species Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii but has since been identified in a number of other cyanobacterial species. Cylindrospermopsin is hepatotoxic and acts as a …

A comparative study of the origins of cyanobacteria at Musina Water Treatment Plant using DNA fingerprints
… by amplification of microcystin/nodularin and cylindrospermopsin polyketide synthetase genes. Most of the samples showed no amplification of the toxin genes. While two samples showed the amplification of cylindrospermopsin polyketide synthetase gene (Sand River and Nzhelele River Next to …

Harmful algae, algal toxin, taste and odor control and mitigation in public water system
… including microcystins (MCs), mainly MC-LR, cylindrospermopsin (CYN), and taste and odor (T&O) compounds. Various types of chemicals are widely used in drinking water treatment plants as oxidants for treating source water challenged with harmful algal blooms. In this study, the release and …

Toxic cyanobacteria, cyanotoxins and drinking water production in Ghana: implications to human health
… exposure to cyanotoxins such as microcystins and cylindrospermopsin. Even though the concentrations of dissolved microcystins obtained in the reservoirs and drinking water supplies were lower than the WHO limit, there is potentially a risk to public health and ongoing monitoring would be a good …

Cyanobacteria Abundance and Toxin Production in a Drinking Water Supply Reservoir
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms that live in marine and freshwater environments and are most common during the warmer months. Many cyanobacteria are also known to release toxins that target cellular processes and affect a wide range of organisms, including people. Although the effects of …

Bioaccumulation of microcystins in terrestrial food plants and the development of novel sorbents for monitoring microcystins in irrigation water
… of the toxic effects of microcystins (MCs) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN) on terrestrial plants including plants used for food. Ever since, the use of surface waters contaminated with cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins for agricultural purposes has been receiving growing attention. In hypereutrophic …
