Microcystin Concentrations and Detection of the <i>mcyA</i> Gene in Water Collected from Agricultural, Urban, and Recreational Areas in a Karst Aquifer in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico

Microcystin Concentrations and Detection of the <i>mcyA</i> Gene in Water Collected from Agricultural, Urban, and Recreational Areas in a Karst Aquifer in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico

The eutrophication of freshwater ecosystems allows the proliferation of cyanobacteria that can produce secondary metabolites such as microcystins. The main aim of this study was to explore the occurrence and concentration of microcystin and the <i>mcyA</i> gene in water bodies located in...
