Detección de poblaciones tóxicas de Microcystis spp. con distintas preferencias ambientales. Estudio de caso embalse de Salto Grande

In this work, the dynamics and toxicity of Microcystis spp. in Salto Grande reservoir (Uruguay river), as well as the genetic diversity of their toxic populations were assessed in winter and summer during 2013. Cell abundance of Microcystis spp. variated amongst different sites and between seasons, showing a signifcantly higher cell and toxic genotype abundances (copies of mcyE gene) and microcystin-LR concentration during summer....
