Influence of environmental factors on cyanobacterial biomass and microcystin concentration in the Dau Tieng Reservoir, a tropical eutrophic water body in Vietnam
The dynamics of cyanobacteria and microcystins (MCs) production were investigated in a drinking water reservoir. The biomass of Chroococcales and amongst them Microcystis aeruginosa and the total phosphorus governed the MCs levels, but also temperature to a lesser extent. The manuscript provides information about toxic cyanobacteria in tropical freshwater.
