Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a toxin produced by cyanobacteria. It is the most toxic of the microcystins. |Section2= |Section3= |Section4= |Section5= |Section6= |Section7= |Section8= }} ==History== The Chinese general Zhu-Ge Liang was the first to observe cyanobacteria poisoning about 1000 years ago. He reported the death of troops who drank green coloured water from a river in southern China. The first published report of an incidence of cyanobacteria poisoning dates from the poisoning of an Australian lake in 1878.〔Francis, G. ''Poisonous Australian lake'' Nature 18, 11-12 (1878)〕 Also, in China and Brasil, people died after drinking water from a lake. All these incidences have been attributed to cyanobacteria and the toxic compound microcystin-LR. That is the reason why the WHO, World Health Organisation, issued a guideline for microcystins in drinking water. The WHO guideline for microcystins in drinking water, based on microcystin-LR, is 1 μg/L.〔Chorus, I., and J.
