Popis: Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), Microcystis aeruginosa sp., were isolated from a massive bloom in a eutrophic waterbody in Hungary. Their toxic effect, determined by a mouse test, was associated with the occurrence of microcystins YR and LR which were isolated, separated by means of HPLC procedures and identified by mass spectroscopy. The toxin content of the dry cell material is about 0.22 %, indicating a pronounced toxin-producing ability of the species investigated
