Effect of TiO2 Photocatalysis on the Destruction of Microcystis aeruginosa Cells and Degradation of Cyanotoxins microcystin-LR and Cylindrospermopsin

This study assesses the effect of a solar driven TiO2 photocatalytic process on the destruction of the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa with simultaneous removal of intracellular and extracellular microcystin-LR (MC-LR) due to cell lysis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to study...
