Development of New Biosensors to detect Ciguatoxins
Ciguatoxins are lipid-soluble polyether compounds produced by dinoflagellates from the genus Gambierdiscus spp.. Ciguatoxins are mostly found in tropical and subtropical zones; however, within the last decade, they have been identified in fishes caught in European waters, notably in Madeira (1) and Canary Islands (2), while Gambierdiscus spp. have also

Sulfo-Gambierones, Two New Analogs of Gambierone Produced by Gambierdiscus excentricus
Ciguatera poisoning is caused by the ingestion of fish or shellfish contaminated with ciguatoxins produced by dinoflagellate species belonging to the genera Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa. Unlike in the Pacific region, the species producing ciguatoxins in the

Determination of the toxicity equivalency factors for ciguatoxins using human sodium channels [PDF]
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) which are produced by dinoflagellates of the genus Gambierdiscus and Fukuyoa and share a ladder-shaped polyether structure, are causative compounds of one of the most frequent foodborne illness disease known as ciguatera fish poisoning

Ciguatoxins are very potent marine neurotoxins, that accumulate to toxic levels in edible fish in certain circumtropical areas, and are associated with ciguatera fish poisoning worldwide. Ciguatoxins are produced by specific benthic dinoflagellate species, enter the marine food chain via herbivorous fish and invertebrates, and eventually biotransformed

A 12‐year retrospective review of tetrodotoxin poisoning in Hong Kong
Introduction: Tetrodotoxin poisoning is typically caused by puffer fish consumption. This study is to review its demographics, clinical presentations and management in Hong Kong. Method: Reported cases of tetrodotoxin poisoning to Hong Kong Poison Information Centre from October 2008 to March 2021 were included in the study. Information from electronic

Ciguatoxin Detection in Flesh and Liver of Relevant Fish Species from the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are a ciguatoxin (CTX) hotspot with an established official monitoring for the detection of CTX in fish flesh from the authorised points of first sale. Fish caught by recreational fishermen are not officially tested and the consumption

Health benefits of microalgae and their microbiomes
Microalgae may offer solutions to the societal challenge we face concerning the lack of antibiotics treating the growing level of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and fungi in clinical and industrial settings. While the vast majority of microalgae and their associated microbiota are unstudied, they may be a fascinating and rewarding source for novel ...
