Table 1. Results of analysis of MCs in water samples.
| Toxin types | Number of samples | EMCs | IMCs | TMCs (EMCs + IMCs) concentration (μg/L) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detection Rate (%) | Detection Rate (%) | Range | Mean ± SD | ||
| MC-RR | 90 | 74.44 | 77.78 | 0.0224–0.3783 | 0.0727 ± 0.0599 |
| MC-YR | 90 | 64.44 | 56.67 | 0.0329–0.1433 | 0.0424 ± 0.0376 |
| MC-LR | 90 | 77.78 | 76.67 | 0.0341–0.2663 | 0.0763 ± 0.0637 |
Note:
The total concentrations of MCs (TMCs) in water is the sum of the concentrations of extracellular MCs (EMCs) and intracellular MCs (IMCs) dissolved in the water; standard deviation means SD.
