The hepatotoxins include cyclic peptide microcystins and nodularins plus the alkaloid cylindrospermopsins. Among the cyanotoxins the microcystins have proven to be the most widespread, and are most often implicated in animal and human poisonings. This paper presents a practical guide to two widely used methods for detecting and quantifying microcystins and nodularins in environmental samples ± the enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA)and the protein phosphatase inhibition assay (PPIA) UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G8AWTX9I4TuMaNET-3eqlUAs95ZDVa4R/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
