Marine phycotoxins are a multiplicity of bioactive compounds which are produced by
microalgae and bioaccumulate in the marine food web. Phycotoxins affect the ecosystem …

Aptasensors have a great potential for environmental monitoring, particularly for real-time on-
site detection of aquatic toxins produced by marine and freshwater microorganisms …

Cyanotoxins are toxins produced by cyanobacteria; they negatively impact water resources
used by humans and disrupt ecosystems worldwide. Among cyanotoxins, saxitoxin (STX) is …

Shellfish toxins are derived from harmful algae and are easily accumulated in environment
and marine food through the food chain, exposing high risks on human health. Preliminary …

Saxitoxin is a cyanotoxin which is very harmful to human health; the concentration limit in
drinking water is only 3 μg/L. Therefore, a simple, fast, sensitive, low-cost, and specific …

Cyanobacteria that cause algal blooms are distributed worldwide and have been reported
for a long time. Further, cyanobacterial growth is increasingly spreading because of …

Marine biotoxins distribute widely, have high toxicity, and can be easily accumulated in
water or seafood, exposing a serious threat to consumer health. Achieving specific and …

Saxitoxin (STX) is a major marine toxin from shellfish, and it is responsible for paralytic
shellfish poisoning (PSP). In this study, a highly sensitive and rapid aptamer assay was …

Saxitoxin is one of the most harmful paralytic shellfish toxins due to its high toxicity and
adverse effects on the environment and human health. Aptasensors provide simple …

Aptamers could be used to construct simple and effective biosensor because the
conformational switch of aptamer upon target binding is easy to be transferred to optical or …
