Microcystin concentration in fishpond waters
Cyanobacterial blooming is a worldwide problem which sometimes results in cyanotoxin production. Most commonly produced cyanotoxins are microcystins (MCs), potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases. Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is known to be involved in the regulation of a variety of cellul...

| description | Cyanobacterial blooming is a worldwide problem which sometimes results in
cyanotoxin production. Most commonly produced cyanotoxins are microcystins
(MCs), potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases. Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1)
is known to be involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular processes.
In this study, MC concentration was assessed via inhibition of protein
phosphatase 1 (PP1 assay) in water samples taken from 14 lakes of Mužlja
fishpond, Vojvodina, Serbia. During the summer of 2011, cyanobacterial growth
occured in the fishpond lakes and small, planktonic crustacean Daphnia sp.
was used to control or/and prevent further development of cyanobacteria.
Different MC concentrations (calculated as microcystin-LR equivalents) were
detected, mostly depending on the occurrence and grazing of Daphnia sp. More
thorough monitoring of fishponds should be conducted, both in Serbia and
around the world, in order to gain more precise estimation of cyanotoxin
concentrations and their accumulation in organisms used for human consumption
and thus prevent possible negative health effects. [Projekat Ministarstva
