Morphological and ultrastructural effects of microcystin-LR from Microcystis aeruginosa extract on a kidney cell line

The aim of this study was to examine the toxic effects of a microcystin-LR (MCLR)-containing cyanobacteria extract on the subcellular organization of a kidney cell line (Vero-E6). Cells were exposed to different MCLR concentrations (1.3-150 mu M) for 24, 48 and 72 h and two cytotoxicity assays were...
