Project aims to isolate the toxins produced by the Fitzroy River strain of C. raciborskii, a tropical cyanobacterium that forms in Queensland waterways, and which is toxic to humans and livestock. Analytical methodologies for the determination of the cylindrospermopsin concentration in water samples or algal extracts are also investigated.
