Evaluating the influence of light intensity in mcyA gene expression and microcystins production in toxic strains of Planktothrix agardhii and Microcystis aeruginosa

Cyanobacteria are phytoplanktonic organisms widely occurring in freshwaters, being frequently associated with the production of toxins, especially microcystins (MCs). MCs are produced non-ribosomally by a multienzyme complex (mcy genes). It has been reported that environmental factors, such as light...
