•Acetylacetone outperformed H2O2 in degrading algal metabolites under xenon irradiation.•Protein-like constituents were more susceptible to photodegradation by acetylacetone.•The biological toxicity of microcystin-LR was greatly reduced after photooxidation.•The photoactivity of acetylacetone was li...
