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 hepatotoxins, called microcystins....
