Still challenging: the ecological function of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin – What we know so far (2018, background): “Research investigating the relation between MC production rate and chlorophyl a content raised more evidence in support of the hypothesis that MCs participate in photosynthesis activity and affected the chromatic pigment contents (Lyck, 2004).”
The influence of environmental conditions on the seasonal variation of Microcystis cell density and microcystins concentration in San Francisco Estuary (2008, background): “Water temperature primarily influences total microcystins concentration through its impact on growth rate, because cellular microcystins are only produced during log-phase growth (Lyck, 2004).”
Empirical study of cyanobacterial toxicity along a trophic gradient of lakes (2005, methodology): “Algal biovolume was calculated from single cells according to Rott (1981) and converted to carbon biomass with the equations of Menden-Deuer and Lessard (2000). Concentrated plankton samples for microcystin determination were collected by a 35-μm-mesh plankton net.”
