abstract = "This scientific study investigated the use of activated carbon obtained from black alder cone-like flowers for the adsorption of cyanobacteria cells and cyanotoxins from raw water collected from Aleksandrovac Lake. The material was prepared by carbonization and activation, and the water sample was analysed for microcystin and cylindrospermopsin using LC-MS. The results showed that the lake had a high level of Cyanobacteria, making it unsafe for recreational activities. After treatment with the activated carbon, the removal efficiency was 99,8 %, and with no cyanotoxins remaining. The dominant cyanobacteria species was Raphidiopsis raciborskii, which is a producer of cylindrospermopsin. The study demonstrated the potential of activated carbon for removing harmful cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins from water sources.",
