Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by several freshwater species of cyanobacteria. Its high chemical stability and wide biological activity pose a series of threats for human and animal morbidity and mortality. The biggest risk of CYN exposure for human organism comes from the consumption of contaminated water, fish or seafood. Very important for effective monitoring of the occurrence of CYN in aquatic environment is accurate identification of cyanobacteria species, that are potentially able to synthesize CYN. In this review we collect data about the discovery of CYN production in cyanobacteria and present the morphological changes between all its producers. Additionally we set together the results describing the catalytic decomposition of CYN.
柱孢藻毒素(CYN)是几种淡水蓝藻产生的有毒次生代谢物。其高化学稳定性和广泛的生物活性对人类和动物的发病率和死亡率构成了一系列威胁。人类机体接触 CYN 的最大风险来自于受污染的水、鱼类或海鲜的摄入。对水生环境中 CYN 发生情况进行有效监测非常重要的是,准确识别可能合成 CYN 的蓝藻种类。在这篇综述中,我们收集了有关 CYN 在蓝藻中产生的发现的数据,并展示了所有产生者之间的形态变化。此外,我们还汇总了描述 CYN 催化分解的结果。
