Transport of Microcystins from Lakes & Reservoirs to Coastal Environments
While many cyanobacteria species can produce microcystins, these toxins are often associated with Microcystis, a genus that thrives in warm, nutrient rich waters. Although Microcystis is normally associated with freshwater … it has been shown to survive in even higher salinities and can sustain growth for short periods in pure seawater.
