10 05 Effect of light intensity on gene expression Expression levels MCY MARKERS Planktothrix agardhii Microcystis aeruginosa Legend: 4 µmol photons m -2 s µmol photons m -2 s µmol photons m -2 s -1 Light intensities tested had distinct influences on microcystin production and mcya expression levels, presenting considerable differences between P. agardhii and M. aeruginosa. The verified trend concerning the increase of the mcya expression levels prior to the increase in microcystins content per cell need further confirmation, however it could help water management authorities foresee the peaks of toxicity, which would be preceded by a peak in mcya transcripts.
