The synthesis of a Microcystis aeruginosa predicted metabolite analog of aerucyclamide B was performed. This hexacyclopeptide was obtained from three heterocyclic building blocks by a convergent macrocycle-assembly methodology. The compound exhibited good in vitro antiplasmodial activity (IC(50): 0.18 μM, K1, cholorquine resistant strain).

Recently, the use of click chemistry for localization of chemically modified cyanopeptides has been introduced, i.e., taking advantage of promiscuous adenylation (A) domains in non-ribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS), allowing for the incorporation of clickable non-natural amino acids (non-AAs) into their peptide products.

Introduction: (), one of the most prevalent blue-green algae in aquatic environments, produces microcystin by causing harmful algal blooms (HAB). This study investigated the combined effects of nutrients and cyanobacterial subpopulation competition on synthesizing microcystin-LR.
Method: In varied nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, cyanobacterial coculture, and algicidal DCMU presence, the growth was monitored by optical density analysis or microscopic counting, and the microcystin production was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-UV.

In recent years, the frequent occurrence of algal blooms has posed continuous threats to aquatic ecosystems and social safety. Environmentally friendly algae-inhibiting methods utilizing allelopathic substances offer advantages such as convenient application and low costs, presenting a bright application prospect in the fields of water and ecological restoration. This study aimed to investigate the procedure for extracting total flavonoids from Zanthoxylum bungeanum leaves and assess allelopathic mechanism of Z.

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) poses significant ecological risks owing to its toxicity; however, its specific effects on toxin-producing cyanobacteria in aquatic environments remain poorly understood. This study systematically investigated the effects of TBBPA at concentrations ranging from 100 ng/L to 100 mg/L on Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) by examining growth, photosynthesis, toxin production, antioxidant responses, and molecular-level changes.

Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) refers to the influence of ancestral environmental signals on offspring's traits across generations. While evidence of TGP in plants is growing, its role in plant adaptation over successive generations remains unclear, particularly in floating plants facing fluctuating environments. Duckweed (), a common ecological remediation material, often coexists with the harmful bloom-forming cyanobacterium , which releases a highly toxic exudate mixture (MaE) during its growth.
