Our paper brings new information about long-term changes of the phytoplankton communities in the Brno reservoir with the focus on the Microcystis abundance using the semi-monthly monitoring data covering the period 2006–2012. The main aim is to extract from this long-term data set differences in number of Microcystis cells depending on environmental factors. The development of cyanobacteria in Brno reservoir is caused by excessive phosphate loading from wastewater treatment facilities upstream and from non–point sources along the Svratka river. It focuses management effort on upstream controls of reservoir condition. High abundance in millions of cyanobacteria cells in 1ml observed in Brno reservoir before was reduced to values in the order of thousands cells in 1ml in last two years through a combination of measures (liming, precipitation of phosphorus on inflow, aeration and destratification). Phytoplankton composition was also changed and at the expense of cyanobacteria promoted the development of green algae and diatoms.

A survey of eutrophic to hypereutrophic hardwater lakes in central Alberta was conducted to test the hypotheses that the concentration of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) in phytoplankton is regulated by environmental factors that affect both the biomass of the main producer of the toxin, Microcystis aeruginosa, and the concentration of the toxin in the cells. Of all environmental factors examined, total phosphorus was the strongest correlate of both M. aeruginosa biomass and cellular MC-LR (expressed as micrograms per gram of M. aeruginosa). Microcystis aeruginosa biomass was also strongly negatively related to the total nitrogen to total phosphorus ratio (TN:TP) and inorganic nitrogen (NO2- + NO3-, NH4+). A univariate regression model of TN:TP explained the most variation in MC-LR concentration (expressed as nanograms of cellular toxin per litre) in mixed phytoplankton communities. This study indicated that MC-LR dynamics in phytoplankton of lakes was related to changes in the concentration and ratio of phosphorus and nitrogen.
