Influence of Environmental Variables on Gambierdiscus spp. (Dinophyceae) Growth and Distribution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Benthic dinoflagellates in the genus Gambierdiscus produce the ciguatoxin precursors responsible for the occurrence of ciguatera toxicity. The prevalence of ciguatera toxins in fish has been linked to the presence and distribution of toxin-producing ...
