Abstract:Cyanobacterial blooms often consist of mixtures of microcystin-producing and microcystin-free species and both of them can cause unpredictable effects on aquatic organisms. In this work, the subchronic effects of the cyanobacterial crude extracts (CCEs) from microcystin-producing and microcystin-free cyanobacteria, with different microcystin concentrations (1, 10, and 50 µg L −1) on Daphnia magna (D. magna) were investigated. The life-history trait responses of D. magna to CCEs were determined based on surviva… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
