In the course of the eutrophication of most inland waters, the abundance of cyanobacteria
has increased, and consequences of raised cyanotoxin levels gave rise to numerous studies …

We studied the effect of the presence of humic substances on the photochemical
degradation of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystin. The concentration of three …

The fate of dissolved microcystin-LR was studied in laboratory experiments using surface
water taken from a eutrophic lake. Based on initial range finding, a concentration of 50μgl− 1 …

Microcystins (MCs) are a family of toxic peptides produced by a number of cyanobacteria
commonly found in lakes, water reservoirs, and recreational facilities. The increased …

Microcystins (MC) and cylindrospermopsin (CYN) are potent toxins produced by diverse
cyanobacterial genera found in waterbodies throughout the world. In the present study, and …

Freshwater Microcystis may form dense blooms in eutrophic lakes. It is known to produce a
family of related cyclic hepatopeptides (microcystins, MC) that constitute a threat to aquatic …

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR), an algal toxin (cyanotoxin) common in sources of drinking water,
poses a major human health hazard due to its high toxicity. In this study, UV/chlorine was …

The potent toxin microcystin is frequently released during cyanobacterial blooms in
eutrophic waters and may impose a risk to human health, when surface water is used for …

The microcystins are hepatotoxins produced by a number of cyanobacterial species (blue–
green algae) in fresh water systems. The increasing eutrophication of natural waters has led …

Cyanobacterial toxins (CBTs), produced by glue-green algae, are one of the most common
naturally occurring toxins found in potable waters. The microcystin family of CBTs present in …
