Microcystin assimilation and detoxification by Daphnia spp. in two ecosystems of different cyanotoxin concentrations

Microcystins (MCs), the main group of cyanotoxins, can induce oxidative stress in the cells of aquatic animals. This study evaluated the sensitivity of daphniids – from two ecosystems characterised by different trophic states and habitat levels of cyanobacteria abundance – to microcystin toxicity by...
