Diarrhea toxin obtained from a waterbloom-producing species, Microcystis aeruginosA Kützing.
A diarrhea-producing toxin from a blue-green alga, Microcystis aeruginosa Kützing, was obtained from standing laboratory cultures. The non-dialyzable fraction of the lysate from whole cells produced fluid accumulation in the ligated small intestinal loops in guinea pigs.
