Mean abundance of synthetase genes in water samples over 24 h collected at Ash River Boat Docks on Kabetogama Lake, MN, September 9–10, 2021: (a) anatoxin (anaC) at the dock (site A), (b) anaC at the shoreline (site B), (c) microcystin (mcyE) at the dock, (d) mcyE at the shoreline, (e) saxitoxin (sxtA) at the dock, and (f) sxtA at the shoreline. Points represent the mean cyanotoxin gene abundance and error bars are one standard deviation about the mean. Note the difference in scale for each cyanotoxin gene between sites.
