Abstract: Eight lakes in the district of Poznań were examined in 2004 and 2005 for cyanobacteria and microcysin content. In only 8 of 24 water samples were species of cyanobacteria not the dominants. Toxin samples were analyzed with HPLC in the first year and HPLC with MS detector in the second. Microcystins were detected in the water of all the investigated lakes in 71% of the samples. The concentration of microcystins ranged from 0.000 to 1.6 μg l-1. The highest concentration of microcystins was detected in Lake Kierskie in Poznań.
