The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Effects of harmful algal blooms on competitors: Allelopathic mechanisms of the red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis (2008, background): “Microcystins, produced by the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa, were also shown to inhibit phosphatases (Dawson 1998), but no studies have demonstrated that microcystins are allelopathic at ecologically relevant concentrations (Babica et al. 2006).”
Allelopathic interactions between microcystin-producing and non-microcystin-producing cyanobacteria and green microalgae: implications for microcystins production (2015, background): “Microcystins are very important cyanotoxins that have different negative effects on aquatic organisms including photoautotrophs (Wiegand and Pflugmacher 2005; Babica et al. 2006; Bártova et al. 2011).”
Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “The smaller colonies (4160 mm) with higher MC content (0.021 ± 0.004 pg eq MC-LR cell 1) displayed a greater recruitment rate.”
Hydrogen peroxide induces apoptotic-like cell death in Microcystis aeruginosa (Chroococcales, Cyanobacteria) in a dose-dependent manner (2012, background): “Microcystis aeruginosa produces the hepatotoxin microcystin, which is a threat to human and environmental health (Babica et al. 2006).”
