  3. Limnologist – study of inland water At UI since 2007 • teach / research / train graduate students • Interests – lake management/surface water protection/remediation • Introduced species Wide variety of projects • Invertebrates (mysids/tadpole shrimp) • Didymo (rock snot) mats, • Algae in response to watershed inputs (CDA) • Cyanobacteria (Willow Creek Reservoir / Fernan)

  4. OUTLINE OUTLINE • Cy Cyanobact anobacteria back ria backgr ground/o ound/overvie iew w • To Toxins • Toxins and human health xins and human health • Conditions that pr Conditions that produce blooms oduce blooms • Blooms and t Blooms and toxins xins

  5. CYANOBAC ACTERIA - - BAC ACKG KGROUND • Source of our atmosphere approx. 3.5 bya • Bacteria / algae characteristics ‐Chlorophyll a, evolve O 2 ‐no cellulose in walls, no membrane‐bound organelles, reproduction via fission, can fix nitrogen • Occur in wide range of habitats and forms

  6. CYANOBAC ACTERIA - - BAC ACKG KGROUND • Heterocysts – specialized cells to fix nitrogen • Akinetes – resting cells • Vacuoles – gas‐filled vesicles to regulate buoyancy

  7. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – WHY DO WE C HY DO WE CARE? RE? • Aesthetics (surface scums) • Taste and odor issues • Use O 2 when decomposing • Produce suite of potent toxins

  8. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – WHO ARE THE PLA HO ARE THE PLAYERS? ERS? Anabaena Aphanizomenon (Annie – Fannie – Mike) Microcystis Lyngbya All have been found Gleotrichia to occur in Idaho Woronichinia HABs

  9. …and if those names weren’t confusing enough Recent name changes: Anabaena ‐‐ Dolichospermum Aphanizomenon ‐‐ Chrysosporum

  10. Anabaena (Dolichospermum) http://cfb.unh.edu/phycokey/Choices/Cyanobacteria/cyano_ filaments/cyano_unbranched_fil/untapered_filaments/heter ocysts/no_visible_sheath/ANABAENA/Anabaena_Image_pag e.html#pic12 Toxin – Anatoxin, microcystis

  13. Microcystis Stores nitrogen – does not fix Toxin – microcystin, anatoxin

  14. Gleotrichia lifesciences.napier.ac lifesciences.napier.ac lifesciences.napier.ac .uk .uk .uk Toxin – microcystin LR Takes up P from sediments in early spring

  15. Lyngbya Entwisle et al. Posted at rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au Fixes nitrogen without heterocysts – mainly at night when P/S is absent http://cfb.unh.edu/phycokey/Choices/Cyanobacteria/cyano_filaments/cyano_unbranched_ fil/untapered_filaments/no_heterocysts/vis_sheath/LYNGBYA/Lyngbya_Image_page.htm#pi c07 Toxin – cylindrospermopsin, saxitoxin‐like

  18. Ecologically – cyanobacteria present carbon bottleneck Large / colonial – difficult to ingest by zooplankton (large plankters starve) Toxins have negative effects on zooplankton (although some not affected)

  19. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – TOXINS INS history 1000 yrs ago General Zhu Ge‐Ling reported mortality in troops that drank water from a river in southern China that was green 1878 Australian lakes – livestock deaths 1980’s – livestock wildlife deaths in N. Idaho 1993 Idaho – cattle deaths at Cascade 1996 Brazil 52 humans in dialysis unit with contaminated water 2013 New Mexico – 100 Elk – exposure via drinking trough 2014 Toledo, OH drinking water intake shutdown 2017 Lakeview, OR cattle deaths 2018 Salem, OR cyanotoxins in water

  20. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – TOXINS INS • Endotoxins • Cytotoxins • Hepatotoxins • Neurotoxins

  21. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – TOXINS INS • Endotoxins – Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) ‐ assoc. with outer membrane ‐ skin rashes ‐ dermatoxins http://www.mncenter.org/issues/water http://www.mncenter.org/issues/water http://www.mncenter.org/issues/water

  22. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – TOXINS INS • Cytotoxins – toxic to cells (necrosis) ‐ breakdown of cell membrane

  23. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – TOXINS INS • Hepatotoxin – liver (hemorrhaging) ‐ breakdown of cell membrane ‐ no antidote http://www.bubblews.com/news/529637‐liver‐lover

  24. Necrosis in liver cells Hemorrhage Necrosis and vacuolation Theo Dreher and Robert J. Bildfell

  25. CY CYANOBA ANOBACTERIA – TERIA – TOXINS INS • Neurotoxins – central nervous system ‐ Affect 4 major components ‐ ion channels, acetylcholine receptors, synaptic vesicle peptides, and acetylcholine esterase ‐ Respiratory paralysis (rapid) http:// painprotherapeutics.com/conditions/neurological‐pain /

  27. Note – on previous slide – those toxins and species highlighted in yellow have been found in Idaho 1/17/2019

  28. HUMAN HEAL HUMAN HEALTH EFFECT TH EFFECTS • Rashes • Hay fever‐like reactions • Flu‐like symptoms / nausea • Gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhea) • Death • Chronic exposure – cancer rates, ALS etc.

  29. HUMAN HEAL HUMAN HEALTH EFFECT TH EFFECTS • Need to be careful about cause and effect • BMAA – beta‐Methylamino‐L‐alanine • Research suggests linkage to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinsonism Dementia Complex (PDC)

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part B, DOI: 10.1080/10937404.2017.1297592 ‐ call attention to ‘issues’ in previous studies ‐ mainly cautionary about cause / effect, not enough data to conclusively establish linkages

  32. HUMAN HEAL HUMAN HEALTH EFFECT TH EFFECTS Many confounding factors obscure direct link between cyanotoxins and human illness (esp. at chronic level) Most incidences are retrospective analyses Potential for serious health consequences
