Occurrence of microcystin-producing cyanobacteria in Ugandan freshwater habitats.

Environmental toxicology - 1 Aug 2010

Okello William, Portmann Cyril, Erhard Marcel, Gademann Karl, Kurmayer Rainer

Abstract excerpt

Microcystins (MCs) are cyclic heptapeptides, which are the most abundant toxins produced by cyanobacteria in freshwater. The phytoplankton of many freshwater lakes in Eastern Africa is dominated by cyanobacteria. Less is known, however, on the occurrence of MC producers and the production of MCs. Twelve Ugandan freshwater habitats ranging from mesotrophic to hypertrophic conditions were sampled in May and June of...
