Abstract excerpt
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms frequently develop in eutrophic freshwater bodies worldwide. Microcystis species produce microcystins (MCs) as a cyanotoxin. Certain bacteria that harbor the mlr gene cluster, especially mlrA, are capable of degrading MCs. However, MC-degrading bacteria may possess or lack mlr genes (mlr+ and mlr- genotypes, respectively). In this study, we investigated the genotype that predominantly...
