Differential effects of nitrate and ammonium on the growth of algae and microcystin production by nitrogen-fixing Nostoc sp. and non-nitrogen-fixing Microcystis aeruginosa

Cyanotoxins produced by cyanobacteria are a significant threat to human health. However, their responses to nitrogen (N) supplies could differ between N-fixing and non-N-fixing species, which has been poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the responses of the non-N-fixing Microcystis aerugi...
