The Elucidation of Planktothrix Cyanopeptide Profiles using Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics
Catrina Danielle Earnshaw
Abstract:The magnitude and frequency of cyanobacteria blooms are increasing due to environmental changes including increased temperatures, eutrophication and anthropogenic inputs. Cyanobacteria are a source of diverse natural products that can negatively impact ecosystem and human health. The most commonly studied cyanopeptides are microcystins, a group of potent liver toxins and possible human carcinogens.Together with microcystins, common bloom forming cyanobacteria co-produce other cyanopeptide groups such as aerugi… Show more
