Abstract
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), Microcystis aeruginosa sp., were iso lated from a massive bloom in a eutrophic waterbody in Hungary. Their toxic effect, determined by a mouse test, was associated with the occu rrence of microcystins YR and LR which were isolated, separated by mea ns of HPLC procedures and identified by mass spectroscopy. The toxin c ontent of the dry cell material is about 0.22 %, indicating a pronounc ed toxin-producing ability of the species investigated.
