摘要
A simplified method for the concentration and purification of microcystins was developed. A 3-I volume of cyanobacterial scum (equivalent to 124 g dry mass of cells) collected from Rutland Water, Leicestershire, in 1989 was extracted in methanol and centrifuged and the supernatant was retained. This was diluted to ca. 20% aqueous methanol and applied to a reversed-phase flash chromatography cartridge. Microcystins were eluted with 70% aqueous methanol then reduced in vacuo. Gradient separation of the extract was optimized on an analytical column and scaled up to a 15 cm X 7.5 cm I.D. column with subsequent purification of individual compounds.
