Cyanotoxins

This project focusses on cyanobacterial compounds of toxicological concern. We study the production dynamics of cyanopeptides from common cyanobacteria strains, profiles of cyanopeptides in field samples, and environmental fate processes of cyanopeptides. For our work, we developed a analytical methods based on LC-HRMS/MS to identify cyanopeptides beyond the well-known microcystins with a suspect list of more than 500 compounds.
