Effects of Cyanobacterial Lipopolysaccharides from <em>Microcystis </em>on Glutathione-Based Detoxification Pathways in the Zebrafish (<em>Danio rerio</em>) Embryo

Effects of Cyanobacterial Lipopolysaccharides from <em>Microcystis </em>on Glutathione-Based Detoxification Pathways in the Zebrafish (<em>Danio rerio</em>) Embryo

Cyanobacteria (“blue-green algae”) are recognized producers of a diverse array of toxic secondary metabolites. Of these, the lipopolysaccharides (LPS), produced by all cyanobacteria, remain to be well investigated. In the current study, we specifically employed the zebrafish (<em>Danio...
