Abstract: Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR), a cyclic potentially carcinogenic hepatotoxin, occurs frequently in aquatic habitats worldwide and seriously threatens ecosystem and public health. Limited effectiveness of physicochemical treatments to remove MC-LR from drinking water has led to a… read more here.
