AbstractBenthic cyanobacterial mats occurring in the St. Lawrence River fluvial lakes Saint-Louis and Saint-Pierre are dominated by Microseira (Lyngbya) wollei which produce several cyanotoxins including LWTX-1 that is characteristic of Microseira wollei. This cyanotoxin is not only present in the filaments forming benthic mats, but was also measured in the water overlying the mats. LWTX-1 was found in all cyanobacterial filament samples (75.29–103.26 ng mg−1) and all overlying water samples (3.01–11.03 ng L−1). Toxin concentrations measured in overlying water and dry biomass were strongly correlated (r = 0.94). Furthermore, LWTX-1 concentration in water was positively correlated with the dissolved organic carbon in water (r = 0.74) and % nitrogen content in cyanobacterial filaments (r = 0.52). A preliminary study was conducted to determine the release and degradation rates of LWTX-1 from a M. wollei mat kept under laboratory conditions over a 3-month period. Toxin measurements revealed an early, massive toxin release followed by a typical decaying function, with a half-life in the order of 17 days. Our results raise concerns about the occurrence and downstream advection of dissolved cyanotoxins from Microseira mats in the aquatic environment.
