Real-Time Observation of Clickable Cyanotoxin Synthesis in Bloom-Forming Cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa and Planktothrix agardhii 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 s...

Remember aetokthonotoxin (AETX), the “eagle-killer #cyanotoxin” that we discovered to kill e.g. bald eagles ()? A. hydrillicola not only produces #AETX. 2/

New NIOO publication: Characterization of lacustrine harmful algal blooms using multiple biomarkers: Historical processes, driving synergy, and ecological shifts, by @Suz_McG and others. #cyanotoxin #variability #climatewarming #paleoecology...

Looking for TWO PhD students to work on #AETX, the #EagleKiller #cyanotoxin (). Focus synthetic chemistry or biology. German knowledge mandatory (teaching). Mehr Infos siehe Homepage. @VAAM #phdjobs #phdposition #promotion #pharmazie #NaturalProductResearch

Remember our discovery of the #cyanotoxin #aetokthonotoxin (), the weapon of the eagle killer? Today we proudly present its total synthesis: . Great collaboration with @bernis_lab.

Thanks to all for the congrats and for sharing our work! The resonance has been stunning. 😮 #AETX and the "eagle killer" cyanobacterium #Aetokthonos hydrillicola will keep us busy for some more years... 😀 #VM #ornithology #cyanotoxin #NaturalProducts

So I used @Google to get a first overview. By chance, I came across a blog post discussing that a mysterious bird disease (#AVM), affecting e.g. the #BaldEagle, might be induced by a #cyanotoxin. I had loved bald eagles since I was a child, and I was intrigued by the story: 3/
