Potential for human exposure to Beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine in a freshwater system
β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is a non-proteinogenic amino acid associated with human neurodegenerative diseases. The content of BMAA in cyanobacteria is modulated by nitrogen in laboratory cultures. In order to evaluate the potential for human exposure, the nitrogen modulation of BMAA content ne...
