Microcystins are cyclic peptide toxins. Chronic intoxication with well-known members of the microcystin family--microcystins-LR--induces liver tumour formation, injury of kidney and heart. Despite worldwide distribution in the environment, the effects of microcystins-YR have not been studied extensively. The aim of
