Discharge of livestock effluents and poor management of livestock manures are important reasons for the eutrophication of water bodies. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) originated from livestock manure is ubiquitous in water, but the effects of such DOM and the organic substances on the growth and cyanotoxins synthesis of bloom-forming cyanobacteria are still unknown. In order to elucidate these issues, the growth, microcystins synthesis, and cell viability of Microcystis aeruginosa exposed to cattle manure originated DOM (CM-DOM) were investigated in this study. The results indicated that the g...
