Shotgun proteomics analysis reveals sub-lethal effects in Daphnia magna exposed to cell-bound microcystins produced by Microcystis aeruginosa

Microcystins that are cell-bound within Microcystis have demonstrated the ability to cause lethal and reproductive impairment in Daphnia, who constitute an important part of aquatic food chains and are known to feed on viable cyanobacterial cells. Recent advances in environmental toxicogenomics can be used to better understand the mechanistic effects from exposure to cell-bound microcystins in Daphnia; however, there remains a need to examine...
