Abstract Microcystins are potent cyanotoxins produced by toxigenic cyanobacteria during harmful algal blooms (HABs), posing risks to ecosystems and human health. In this study, we developed a portable RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a biosensing platform for the rapid, on-site detection of the microcystin synthetase E (mcyE) gene, a key biomarker for microcystin-producing strains.
