Cyanoviridin RR, a toxin from the cyanobacterium (blue-green alga) microcystis viridis

TLDR
A toxin, named as cyanoviridin RR, has been isolated from the cyanobacterium Microcystis viridis and the structure of the toxin has been determined by modern NMR techniques such as the HMBC spectrum.

Structure and biosynthesis of toxins from blue-green algae (cyanobacteria)

TL;DR: Nearly 30 new microcystins have been isolated in the laboratory from cyanobacteria species and their structures assigned, largely employing tandem FAB mass spectrometry (FABMS/CID/MS) and numerous analogs identified or synthesized allow the identification of important parameters in a structure-activity relationship study.

Cyanobacterial toxins: removal during drinking water treatment, and human risk assessment.

TL;DR: Chlorination, possibly micro-/ultrafiltration, but especially ozonation are the most effective in destroying cyanobacteria and in removing microcystins, however, these treatments may not be sufficient during bloom situations or when a high organic load is present, and toxin levels should therefore be monitored during the water treatment process.
