Effects of the Marine Biotoxins Okadaic Acid and Dinophysistoxins on Fish [PDF]
Natural high proliferations of toxin-producing microorganisms in marine and freshwater environments result in dreadful consequences at the socioeconomically and environmental level due to water and seafood contamination. Monitoring programs and scientific evidence point to harmful algal blooms (HABs) increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of

Deciphering interactions between the marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima and the fungus Aspergillus pseudoglaucus. [PDF]
Abstract The comprehension of microbial interactions is one of the key challenges in marine microbial ecology. This study focused on exploring chemical interactions between the toxic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima and a filamentous fungal species, Aspergillus pseudoglaucus, which has been isolated from the microalgal culture.

Protein phosphatases are involved in many cellular processes. One of the most abundant and best studied members of this class is protein phosphatase type-2A (PP2A). In this study, PP2A was purified from the mussel Mytilus chilensis.

Marine toxins and the cytoskeleton: okadaic acid and dinophysistoxins [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA) and its analogs, the dinophysistoxins, are potent inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. This action is well known to cause diarrhea and gastrointestinal symptons when the toxins reach the digestive tract by ingestion of mollusks. A less well‐known effect of these group of toxins is their effect in the cytoskeleton.

Clarification of the C-35 Stereochemistries of Dinophysistoxin-1 and Dinophysistoxin-2 and Its Consequences for Binding to Protein Phosphatase [PDF]
Okadaic acid analogues are well known as protein phosphatase inhibitors and occur naturally in marine shellfish feeding on dinoflagellates of the genus Dinophysis, leading to diarrhetic shellfish poisoning of shellfish consumers. Knowledge of the correct structures for these toxins is important in understanding their toxicology, biochemistry, and ...

Magnetic Covalent Organic Framework Composites for Wastewater Remediation
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have desirable properties but their powder form hinders practical applications. This review focuses on magnetic COFs and their applications in wastewater treatment. The review highlights the structural parameters that impact adsorption performance, and discusses the challenges and future prospects in the field ...

Abstract Multiple species of the genus Dinophysis produce diarrhetic shellfish toxins (okadaic acid and Dinophysis toxins, OA/DTXs analogs) and/or pectenotoxins (PTXs). Only since 2008 have DSP events (illnesses and/or shellfish harvesting closures) become recognized as a threat to human health in the United States.

Abstract Many coastal states throughout the USA have observed negative effects in marine and estuarine environments caused by cyanotoxins produced in inland waterbodies that were transported downstream or produced in the estuaries. Estuaries and other downstream receiving waters now face the dual risk of impacts from harmful algal blooms (HABs) that ...
