    Comment on "Models predict planned phosphorus load reduction will make Lake Erie more toxic"
    (2022) Huisman, Jef; Chorus, Ingrid; Dittmann, Elke; Fastner, Jutta
    Hellweger et al. (Reports, 27 May 2022, pp. 1001) predict that phosphorus limitation will increase concentrations of cyanobacterial toxins in lakes. However, several molecular, physiological, and ecological mechanisms assumed in their models are poorly supported or contradicted by other studies. We conclude that their take-home message that phosphorus load reduction will make Lake Erie more toxic is seriously flawed. © 2022 the authors

    Microcystin production revisited: conjugate formation makes a major contribution
    (2013) Meissner, Sven; Fastner, Jutta; Dittmann, Elke
    The impact of environmental stimuli on the productionof the widespread cyanobacterial hepatotoxinmicrocystin (MC) is under debate. Whereas transcriptionalstudies of the biosynthetic genes suggest aclear influence of light conditions on toxin productionthe data for the metabolite itself are inconsistent andhighly strain-specific. Here, we have reassessed theMC content by using two immunological detectiontechniques that allow a parallel quantification of MCin the methanolic extracts and the residual pellet fractionthat contains high molecular weight proteins. Ourresults show a significant proportion of MC in theprotein bound fraction in strains of Microcystis andPlanktothrix and of the related toxin nodularin (NOD)in Nodularia. Moreover, we could show a very strongincrease of MC after high light illumination in theprotein fraction contributing to a significant overallincrease in MC production under these conditionsthat is not seen in extracts analysed by LC-MS andELISA. The fact that a considerable portion of MC isneglected with current analysis techniques was alsoconfirmed for selected field samples. Immunofluorescencestudies suggest strain-specific differences inthe amount of MC conjugate formation.Quelle: Environmental Microbiology (2013) 15(6), 1810-1820
