Spatial isolation favours the divergence in microcystin net production by Microcystis in Ugandan freshwater lakes.

Water research - 1 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

It is generally agreed that the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) are the most abundant toxins produced by cyanobacteria in freshwater. In various freshwater lakes in East Africa MC-producing Microcystis has been reported to dominate the phytoplankton, however the regulation of MC production is poorly understood. From May 2007 to April 2008 the Microcystis abundance, the absolute and relative abundance of the mcyB...
