In this study, it is reported the destruction of Microcystis aeruginosa and the toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) by photolysis and TiO 2  photo catalysis in a lab-scale prototype using artificial UV light and at pilot-scale plant using natural solar radiation, as UV photon source. TiO 2  photocatalysis showed to be effective in the destruction of M aeruginosa (~ 5-log order decrease) and in the degradation of the MC-LR released into the aqueous solutions, in the short reaction period of 5-15 min, even at extremely high concentrations. The photo catalytic process can be considered as a viable alternative for disinfection of contaminated water by cyanobacteria, especially in countries with high solar insolation. However, the use of UV light or sunlight alone, as well as TiO 2  in dark is not sufficient to achieve complete elimination of cells and degradation of MC-LR in full-scale water treatment.
