Jones, 1995), and variants identified in American strains of Lyngbya wollei (LWTX 1 to 6) (Onodera et al., 1997). Depending on the variants, the toxicity in the mice can differ considerably. Saxitoxin is the most potent PSP (LD50 = 10 pg/kg mouse, i.p.), and LWTX 1, 4, and 6 can be more than 165 times less toxic (Oshima, 1995).

The worldwide economic impact of undesirable cyanobacterial blooms in municipal water systems is unknown. Increased costs can occur due to increased amounts of activated carbon used in water treatment facilities to counteract higher levels of off-flavor compounds in the water. In addition, filters and filtration equipment can become clogged with certain types of filamentous cyanobacteria and result in significant down time to correct these problems. Certain species of cyanobacteria (e.g., Lyngbya wollei)...
