Combined effect of environmental factors on Microcystis aeruginosa growth and toxin productivity

摘要

[Excerpt] Despite numerous studies reporting the influence of environmental factors over cyanobacterial growth and toxicity, not much is known about the impact of synergies generated between these parameters. Taking advantage of such unexplored perspective, the aim of this work is to assess the combined effect of light intensity, CO2 concentration, temperature, and medium pH on Microcystis aeruginosa growth and toxin productivity.
