The Goldilocks Effect: The Role of Temperature in Influencing Dinoflagellate Growth [PDF]
Current: The Journal of Marine EducationCoral reef ecosystems, often referred to as the ‘rainforests of the sea,’ are vibrant ecosystems formed by millions of living coral polyps. Despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor, coral reefs deliver vital benefits, including shoreline ...

Structural Characterization of Maitotoxins Produced by Toxic Gambierdiscus Species
Marine Drugs, 2022 Identifying compounds responsible for the observed toxicity of the Gambierdiscus species is a critical step to ascertaining whether they contribute to ciguatera poisoning.

Modelling the Bioaccumulation of Ciguatoxins in Parrotfish on the Great Barrier Reef Reveals Why Biomagnification Is Not a Property of Ciguatoxin Food Chains [PDF]
ToxinsWe adapt previously developed conceptual and numerical models of ciguateric food chains on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, to model the bioaccumulation of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in parrotfish, the simplest food chain with only two trophic levels.

Microbiome Associated With Gambierdiscus balechii Cultures Under Different Toxicity Conditions
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Dinoflagellates, including harmful algal bloom species, are known to co-exist with and rely upon bacteria but how the microbiome changes with the physiologies of the cognate dinoflagellates is poorly understood. Here, we used 16S rRNA gene meta-barcoding

Growth and Toxin Production of Gambierdiscus spp. Can Be Regulated by Quorum-Sensing Bacteria
Toxins, 2018 Gambierdiscus spp. are the major culprit responsible for global ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). At present, the effects of microbiological factors on algal proliferation and toxin production are poorly understood.

Sulfo-Gambierones, Two New Analogs of Gambierone Produced by Gambierdiscus excentricus
Marine Drugs, 2021 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
