  abstract = {{I}n order to understand the environmental variables which promote the proliferation of cyanobacteria and variation in microcystin concentrations in the {N}ui {C}oc reservoir, {V}ietnam, physicochemical parameters, the occurrence, and abundance of phytoplankton, cyanobacteria, and microcystin concentration were monitored monthly through the year 2009-2010. {T}he relationships between these parameters were explored using principal component analysis ({PCA}) and {P}earson correlation analysis. {T}he phytoplankton community was mainly dominated by the cyanobacterium {M}icrocystis with higher cyanobacteria abundance during summer and autumn season. {PCA} and {P}earson correlation results showed that water temperature and phosphate concentration were the most important variables accounting for cyanobacteria, {M}icrocystis, and microcystin occurrence. {A}nalysis of the toxins by high-performance liquid chromatography demonstrated the presence of two microcystin variants: microcystin-{LR} ({MC}-{RR}) and microcystin-dd{RR} ({MC}-dd{RR}) with total concentrations of the toxins in filtered samples from surface water ranging from 0.11 to 1.52 mu g {MC}-{LR} equiv {L}-1. {T}he high concentrations of microcystin in the {N}ui {C}oc reservoir highlighted the potential risk for human health in the basin. {O}ur study underlined the need for regular monitoring of cyanobacteria and toxins in lakes and reservoirs, which are used for drinking water supplies, not only in {V}ietnam but also in tropical countries.},
