Origin of saxitoxin biosynthetic genes in cyanobacteria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a potentially fatal syndrome associated with the consumption of shellfish that have accumulated saxitoxin (STX). STX is produced by microscopic marine dinoflagellate algae.
