Recreational Exposure to Low Concentrations of Microcystins During an Algal Bloom in a Small Lake
We measured microcystins in blood from people at risk for swallowing water or inhaling spray while swimming, water skiing, jet skiing, or boating during an algal bloom.

Methods for rapid extraction of microcystin-LR and microcystin-RR
Simple analysis methods using microwave and boiling waterbath to solve the problem for microcystin-LR (MCLR) and microcystin-RR (MCRR) extraction from cyanobacteria cells were studied as a substitute for the traditional solvent extraction methods. Standards were used to confirm the feasibility and efficiency of both methods.

Production of microcystins in bloom-forming cyanobacteria and their environmental fates: a review
The present paper introduces the recent progresses on the production mechanisms and environmental fates of microcystins -the most common toxins produced in bloom-forming cyanobacteria, in particular, Microcystis.
