First Report of Microcystis Strains Producing MC-FR and -WR Toxins in Japan
Microcystins (MCs) are a group of cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxins produced by Microcystis and several other genera of cyanobacteria.Many structural variants have been characterized using various methods such as liquid chromatography−mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A
