O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar a eficiência da adsorção com carvão ativado em pó (CAP) e da cloração de cálcio na remoção de saxitoxinas. As saxitoxinas dispersas em água destilada foram produzidas por meio da extração de células viáveis de cianobactérias da espécie Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii. Os ensaios foram realizados em equipamento de jar test adaptado e empregando-se três tipos de CAP e hipoclorito de cálcio.

Abstract:
Historical reports show that in Portugal, cyanotoxins reports were mainly in the Center (cylindrospermopsins) and South (cylindrospermopsins, saxitoxins) regions of the country apart from the well distributed microcystins. Therefore, in our study, seven freshwater ecosystems located in the North and Center Regions of Portugal were screened between April and September of 2017 for the main cyanotoxins (microcystins, cylindrospermopsins, anatoxin-a, and saxitoxins) by a two methods approach that combined the application of molecular (PCR) and immunological (ELISA) assays.

Convenient macrocyclization synthetic routes for the preparation of different-sized monoaza anthracylmethyl crown ether chemosensors (15-crown-5, 18-crown-6, 21-crown-7, 24-crown-8, and 27-crown-9) are described. Evaluation of these crowns as chemosensors for saxitoxin revealed that the larger crowns have moderately higher binding constants, with the 27-crown-9 chemosensor having the largest binding constant (2.29 × 105 (mol/L)–1). Fluorescence enhancements of 100% were observed at saxitoxin concentrations of 5 µmol/L, which is close to the detection limit in mouse bioassay.Key words: anthrace

Abstract:
Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is precipitated by a family of toxins produced by harmful algae, which are consumed by filter-feeding and commercially popular shellfish. The toxins, including saxitoxin, neosaxitoxin, and gonyautoxins, accumulate in shellfish and cause intoxication when consumed by humans and animals. Symptoms can range from minor neurological dysfunction to respiratory distress and death. There are over 40 different chemical congeners of saxitoxin and its analogs, many of which are toxic and many of which have low toxicity or are non-toxic. This makes accurate toxicity ass

Abstract:
Abstract Ciguatoxins are potent neurotoxins with a significant public health impact. Cytotoxicity assays have allowed the most sensitive means of detection of ciguatoxin-like activity without reliance on mouse bioassays and have been invaluable in studying outbreaks. An improvement of these cell-based assays is presented here in which rapid flow cytometric detection of ciguatoxins and saxitoxins is demonstrated using fluorescent voltage sensitive dyes. A depolarization response can be detected directly due to ciguatoxin alone; however, an approximate 1000-fold increase insensitivity is observe

Cyanobacteria are present in diverse habitats. Some of them produce dangerous toxin substances such as saxitoxin which is classified in the neurotoxin groups and show the impact on the aquatics and humans in the form of the paralysis of the limbs and hypersecretion saliva and so on. The aim of this research was screening of cyanobacteria isolates through combining the traditional and molecular methods, from the Kor river and assessment of the isolated cyanobacteria in terms of saxitoxin producing. The samples were collected from six stations in the Kor river. After dilution each sample were cu
