Effects of Environmental Factors on Toxicity of a Cyanobacterium (Microcystis aeruginosa) under Culture Conditions

Tokyo Metropolitan Research Laboratory for Public Health, 3-24-1, Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 160, Japan

ABSTRACT

Effects of light intensity, temperature, and nutrients on the toxicity of Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated, using a toxic strain which kills mice. A marked change in toxicity was observed in the light intensity experiment, and slight changes were observed to be caused by temperature and phosphorus deficiency.
