Pollution by heavy metals is one of the most serious issues in world, and principal sources are manufacturing, fertilizers, mining, pesticides, transport, wastewater discharge. In this study, presence macroelements (Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P)) (Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Iron (Fe), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), Cooper (Cu), Manganese (Mn)) green tide caused seaweed Ulva lactuca from Marchica lagoon (NE-Morocco, Mediterranean) was evaluated. The mean values P N algae were 1773.33...
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...
In Morocco, the occurrence of toxic cyanobacteria blooms is confirmed in some water bodies used for recreational and/or as drinking reservoirs. According to WHO recommendations, establishment a monitoring program microcystins necessity. This paper presents toxicological studies 19 strains Microcystis, Synechocystis, Pseudanabaena, and Oscillatoria. These were isolated from various including natural lakes, reservoirs, ponds located central regions Morocco. The isolation, culture, biomass...
The effects of cyanobacteria aqueous extracts containing Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) on the seed germination and growth Pisum sativum, Lens esculenta, Zea mays Triticum durum were investigated. Experiments carried out a range doses extract (equivalent to 0, 1.6, 2.9, 5.8, 8.7 11.6 μ g MC-LR/mL). results confirm that these plants sensitive cell-free toxic Microcystis inhibition was dose dependent. One-way analysis variance (ANOVA) showed P. sativum is most tested species with 97% rate reduction L....
The world-wide occurrence of harmful cyanobacteria blooms "CyanoHAB" in fresh and brackish waters creates problems for all life forms. During CyanoHAB events, toxic produce cyanotoxins at high levels that can cause chronic sub-chronic toxicities to animals, plants humans. Cyanotoxicity eukaryotes has been mainly focused on but during these last years, data, related cyanotoxin (mainly microcystins, MCs) impact both aquatic terrestrials crop irrigated by water containing toxins, have become...
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) threaten public health and freshwater ecosystems worldwide. In this study, our main goal was to explore the dynamics of cyanobacterial how microcystins (MCs) move from Lalla Takerkoust reservoir nearby farms. We used Landsat imagery, molecular analysis, collecting analyzing physicochemical data, assessing toxins using HPLC. Our investigation identified two species responsible for blooms: Microcystis sp. Synechococcus strain produced three MC...
Early life stage tests with zebrafish (Danio rerio) were used to detect toxic effects of compounds from a Microcystis aeruginosa natural bloom extracton their embryolarval development. We carried out the exposure developing stages fish complex cyanobacterial blooms containing hepatotoxic molecules - microcystins. Fish embryo performed extract 3 mg·L-1 Eq microcystin-LR showed that after 24 h all embryos died. The same other diluted extracts (containing 0.3, 0.1 and 0.03 microcystin-LR) shown...
