Fast and Sensitive Method for Determination of Domoic Acid in Mussel Tissue
The Scientific World Journal, 2016 Domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxic amino acid produced by diatoms, is the main cause of amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP). In this work, we propose a very simple and fast analytical method to determine DA in mussel tissue.

Evaluation of the study carried out by ANSES on the effectiveness of sanitary shucking of queen scallops (<i>Aequipecten opercularis</i>) contaminated by okadaic acid toxins. [PDF]
EFSA JAbstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA evaluated the effectiveness of sanitary shucking of queen scallops (Aequipecten opercularis) contaminated with okadaic acid (OA) group toxins. Specifically, EFSA was tasked to evaluate a study conducted by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Algicidal Bacteria in Controlling Harmful Algal Blooms: Advances in Bacteria-Algae Interactions. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepThis review elucidates the molecular mechanisms of algicidal bacteria, highlighting critical behaviours like chemotaxis, quorum sensing and extracellular vesicle release. It details how these actions disrupt algal cellular integrity, photosynthesis and calcium homeostasis, providing a theoretical foundation for controlling harmful algal blooms ...

A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes
Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Sulfate radical‐based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) excel in cyanotoxin removal. Their high reactivity efficiently degrades diverse cyanotoxins, ensuring safe water quality. Their versatility and effectiveness make them the most suitable AOPs and safeguard aquatic ecosystems and human health.

Emerging harmful algal blooms caused by distinct seasonal assemblages of a toxic diatom
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 11, Page 2341-2359, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Diatoms in the Pseudo‐nitzschia genus produce the neurotoxin domoic acid. Domoic acid bioaccumulates in shellfish, causing illness in humans and marine animals upon ingestion. In 2017, high domoic acid levels in shellfish meat closed shellfish harvest in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island for the first and only time in history, although abundant ...
