https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mimet.2019.105684Harmful cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic lakes and reservoirs have been reported all over the world. Many species of cyanobacteria and its cyanotoxins (e.g. microcystin) have posed serious threats to human health and aquatic ecosystems. Thus, reliable, sensitive and rapid approaches to establish early warning systems to reduce risk of toxic cyanobacterial blooms.Microcysti...
