Cyanobacteria toxins and toxin producers in nine drinking water reservoirs in Taiwan
Water Supply, 2006 Cyanobacteria are present in many drinking water reservoirs in the world, and some of them may produce microcystins, anatoxin-a and other natural toxins: In this study, two groups of algal toxins: microcystins and anatoxin-a, and associated toxin producers were investigated.
