Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria inhabiting water surface. They can increase to form a mass large enough, termed as cyanobacterial bloom. Cyanobacterial blooms generate an array of harmful toxins, which may disturb sources, subsequently posing frightful health threat living organisms. The occurrence and toxins globally reported, mainly trigged by eutrophic conditions climate change. aim this review was provide the current knowledge on production; their influencing factors. In addition paper suggests some measures ensure toxic minimization.

Cyanobacterial blooms triggered by eutrophication and climate change have become a global public health issue. The toxic metabolites microcystins (MCs) generated cyanobacteria can accumulate in food chain contaminate water, thus posing potential threat to human animals health. Studies suggested that aside liver, the kidney may be another target organ of MCs intoxication. Therefore, this review provides various evidences on nephrotoxicity MCs. concludes related inhibition protein phosphatases excessive production reactive oxygen species, cytoskeleton disruption, endoplasmic reticulum stress, DNA damage cell apoptosis. To protect from consequences, paper also puts forward some directions for further research.

Cyanotoxins have gained global public interest due to their potential bioaccumulate in food, which threatens human health. Bloom formation is usually enhanced under Mediterranean, subtropical and tropical climates are the dominant climate types developing countries. In this context, we present an up-to-date overview of cyanotoxins (types, toxic effects, analysis, occurrence, mitigation) with a special focus on contamination (sea)food from all countries Africa, Asia, Latin America as has received less attention. A total 65 publications been found (from 2000 until October 2021) reporting by one or more seafood edible plants (five papers). Only Brazil China conducted research cyanotoxin food comparison other The majority focused detection microcystins using different analytical methods. detected levels mostly surpassed provisional tolerable daily intake limit set World Health Organization, indicating real risk exposed population. Assessment foods still requires further investigations conducting survey studies, especially simultaneous multiple categories food.

Microcystins are secondary metabolites produced by some cyanobacteria, a class of cyclic heptapeptide toxins that stable in the environment. can create variety adverse health effects humans, animals, and plants through contaminated water. Effective methods to degrade them required. Microorganisms considered be promising method microcystins due their high efficiency, low cost, environmental friendliness. This review focuses on perspectives frontiers microcystin biodegradation. It has been reported bacteria fungi play an important contribution degradation. Analysis biodegradation mechanism pathway is part research. Microcystin extensively studied existing provides overview (1) pollution assessment strategies hazards water bodies (2) contributions various degradation mechanisms, including mlr gene-induced (gene cluster expressing microcystinase) The application biodegradable technology still needs development.

Global eutrophication and climate warming exacerbate production of cyanotoxins such as microcystins (MCs), presenting risks to human animal health. Africa is a continent suffering from severe environmental crises, including MC intoxication, but with very limited understanding the occurrence extent MCs. By analysing 90 publications 1989 2019, we found that in various water bodies where MCs have been detected so far, concentrations were 1.4-2803 times higher than WHO provisional guideline for lifetime exposure via drinking (1 µg/L) 12 15 African countries data available. relatively high Republic South (averaged 2803 μg/L) Southern whole (702 when compared other regions.

Abstract The health risks linked to the consumption of microcystin-accumulating crops have been increasing worldwide in toxic cyanobloom-occurring regions. bioaccumulation microcystins (MCs) agricultural produce at environmentally realistic concentrations is poorly investigated. In this field study, we assessed MCs raw water used for irrigating fruit (bioaccumulation) and watering farm animals Lalla Takerkoust region (Marrakesh, Morocco). Thus, were extracted from samples quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay order calculate risk indicators. posed a high health-risk level poultry horses, with estimated daily intakes (EDI) being 14- 19-fold higher than recommended limits (3.1 2.3 μg MC-LR L −1 ), respectively. Furthermore, pomegranate same risk, EDI 22- 53-fold limit dose (0.04 kg ) adults children, There was an urgent need guidelines regarding use management MC-polluted areas, besides setup nature-based tools toxin removal farming practices. Moreover, could contaminate human food chain, which implies further investigations their potential accumulation livestock- poultry-based food.
