Fate of Saxitoxins in Lake Water: Preliminary Testing of Degradation by Microbes and Sunlight

The cyanobacterial toxin saxitoxin (STX) is mainly associated with the blooms of marine dinoflagellates, but it is also produced by several species of freshwater cyanobacteria. So far, the degradation of STX has only been demonstrated by physicochemical treatments, but in this study, we demonstrated...
