Hepatotoxic Seafood Poisoning (HSP) Due to Microcystins: A Threat from the Ocean?
Cyanobacterial blooms are a major and growing problem for freshwater ecosystems worldwide that increasingly concerns public health, with an average of 60% of blooms known to be toxic.The most studied cyanobacterial toxins belong to a family of cyclic heptapeptide Litter hepatotoxins, called microcystins.The microcystins are stable hydrophilic cycli
