β-N-Methylamino-<span style="font-variant: small-caps">L</span>-Alanine (BMAA) Causes Severe Stress in <i>Nostoc</i> sp. PCC 7120 Cells under Diazotrophic Conditions: A Proteomic Study

Non-proteinogenic neurotoxic amino acid β-N-methylamino-L-alanine (BMAA) is synthesized by cyanobacteria, diatoms, and dinoflagellates, and is known to be a causative agent of human neurodegenerative diseases. Different phytoplankton organisms’ ability to synthesize BMAA could indicate the importanc...
