Abstract
Algal extracts of Anabaena planctonica from Lake Mulargia in Italy wer e tested for toxins by mouse bioassay, the Microtox system, and GC-MS and HPLC chromatography. Anatoxin-a was identified by GC-MS after deri vatization with pentafluorobenzyl bromide. Hepatotoxins were also pres ent and are perhaps related to the microcystins present in other speci es of Anabaena.
