Excitatory amino acid beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine is a putative environmental neurotoxin
The amino acid beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine (L-BMAA) has been associated with the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonismdementia complex in three distinct western Pacific populations. The putative neurotoxin is produced by cyanobacteria, which live symbiotically in the roots of cycad trees. L-BM...

| description | The amino acid beta-N-methylamino-L-alanine (L-BMAA) has been associated with
the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonismdementia complex in three
distinct western Pacific populations. The putative neurotoxin is produced by
cyanobacteria, which live symbiotically in the roots of cycad trees. L-BMAA
was thought to be a threat only to those few populations whose diet and
medicines rely heavily on cycad seeds. However, the recent discovery that
cyanobacteria from diverse terrestrial, freshwater, and saltwater ecosystems
around the world produce the toxin requires a reassessment of whether it
poses a larger health threat. Therefore, it is proposed that monitoring
L-BMAA levels in cyanobacteria-contaminated water supplies might be prudent.
