The correlations between these parameters were explored by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Pearson correlation analysis. The cylindrospermopsin (CYN) toxin in isolated strains from the reservoir was confirmed by using High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. <em>R. raciborskii </em>presented throughout the year in the reservoir with a biovolume from 0.12 to 9.14 mm<sup>3</sup> L<sup>-1</sup>. Four <em>R. raciborskii</em> strains (CBP2, CBP3, CBP4, and CBP5) were successfully isolated and confirmed to produce CYN by the HPLC results. The highest concentration in isolated strains was 0.345 μg g<sup>-1</sup> DW in the CBP4 strain. The PCR results of genes responsible for CYN biosynthesis showed that the PCR amplicons of <em>cyrB</em> and <em>CyrC </em>were amplified in two toxic strains (CBP2 and CBP3), while the amplicons of both <em>cyrB </em>and <em>cyrC</em> were not observed in two remaining toxic strains. In addition, such abiotic factors as temperature and nutrients played major roles in the abundance of <em>R. raciborskii</em>. Moreover, the biovolume of <em>R. raciborskii</em> positively correlated with the CYN concentrations in the Buon Phong reservoir.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Vietnam Journal of Earth Sciences}, author={Ngo Thi Diem, My and Ton That, Phap and Duong Thi, Thuy and Le Thi Phuong, Quynh and Nguyen Thi Thu, Lien}, year={2022}, month={Mar.}, pages={257–272} }
