TLDR
Effects of light intensity, temperature, and nutrients on the toxicity of Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated, using a toxic strain which kills mice.Abstract:
Effects of light intensity, temperature, and nutrients on the toxicity of Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated, using a toxic strain which kills mice A marked change in toxicity was observed in the light intensity experiment, and slight changes were observed to be caused by temperature and phosphorus deficiencyread more

TL;DR: The ability of Microcystis assemblages to minimize their mortality losses by resisting grazing by zooplankton and bivalves, as well as viral lysis, and discuss factors facilitating assemblage resilience are highlighted.

The effects of temperature and nutrients on the growth and dynamics of toxic and non-toxic strains of Microcystis during cyanobacteria blooms
TL;DR: Molecular quantification of toxic (mcyD-possessing) Microcystis was a better predictor of in situ microcystin levels than total cyanobacteria, total Micro Cystis, chlorophyll a, or other factors, being significantly correlated with the toxin in every lake studied.

TL;DR: The pathological effects produced by microcystin in laboratory and domestic animals resemble thoseproduced in man but differ from those produced in animals by the toxic peptides of Amanita phalloides.
