Popis:	Owing to Cyanophytes, toxic blooms may originate in drinking water supplies. Since it is vitally important for human health that such blooms are rapidly identified and treatment plant for water potabilization is readily adapted, we have performed experiments aiming at assessing the usefulness of Microtox™ as a tool for detecting biotoxins caused by Cyanobacteria as rapidly as possible. Comparison between instrumental results and data obtained with Microtox has shown a discrepancy, but has also pointed out Microtox's sensitivity and therefore its application in monitoring Cyanophyte blooms in order to detect algal biotoxins, whose chemical characterization requires further examination following identification by the Microtox system.
