Humans may be exposed to low dosages of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR ( ) MCLR in the drinking water as a consequence of the lysis of cyanobacteria from contaminated lakes and reservoirs. At present there are no published animal experiments on the toxicity of chemically pure MCLR applied c
While investigating the destruction of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxin microcystin-LR in the presence of phycocyanin pigment via semiconductor photocatalysis, it became apparent that the pigment was catalysing the toxin decomposition. The mechanism of this process in terms of phycocyanin acting as a
