Anatoxin-a (ATX-a) is a cyanotoxin whose toxicological profile has been underinvestigated in comparison to other cyanotoxins such as microcystins (MCs) or cylindrospermopsin (CYN). However, its wide distribution, occurrence, and toxic episodes justify more attention. It is classified as a neurotoxin, but it has also been reported to affect other organs and systems.

The frequency and intensity of harmful cyanobacterial blooms have increased in the last decades, posing a risk to public health since conventional water treatments do not effectively remove extracellular cyanotoxins. Consequently, advanced technologies such as the Fenton process are required to ensure water safety. The cyanotoxin cylindrospermopsin (CYN) demands special attention, as it is abundant in the extracellular fraction and has a high toxicological potential.

In this report, we describe a fluorescent assay for the detection of six marine toxins in water. The mechanism of detection is based on a duplex-to-complex structure-switching approach. The six aptamers specific to the targeted cyanotoxins were conjugated to a fluorescent dye, carboxyfluorescein (FAM).

Solid-state cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC) with one-dimensional photonic structure offer a promising platform for constructing chemical and biological optical sensors, owing to their facile fabrication, signal readout, and sensitive and selective responsiveness to target analytes. In this study, we designed a CLC photonic structure intertwined with an interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) immobilized with a cylindrospermopsin aptamer (CY9) for the selective detection of the cylindrospermopsin toxin (CYT) in water. Upon exposure to CYT, it induced a blue shift in the color of the IPN biosensor chip.

As global warming and water eutrophication, the multiple proliferation of harmful cyanobacteria can form algal blooms and cause serious ecological problems. In recent years, the large-scale and persistent cyanobacterial blooms occur frequently worldwide and have attracted widespread attention due to the harmful impacts. Among these harmful bloom-forming cyanobacteria, the ecological and toxicological impacts of planktonic cyanobacteria have been extensively studied.
