Putative monofunctional type I polyketide synthase units: a dinoflagellate-specific feature? [PDF]
Marine dinoflagellates (alveolata) are microalgae of which some cause harmful algal blooms and produce a broad variety of most likely polyketide synthesis derived phycotoxins.

When the Red Tide Rolls In: A Red Tide Associated Angioedema Case Report
Introduction: Histamine-mediated angioedema is a potentially life-threatening reaction following exposures that incite mast cell activation. In Florida, red tides are a frequent phenomenon caused by overgrowth of the harmful algae species Karenia brevis,

Abstract Hurricanes drive diverse estuarine phytoplankton responses and can trigger cascading ecological and physicochemical impacts. Capturing these short‐term dynamics requires high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we applied a globally‐applicable coastal ocean color algorithm, Variational Autoencoder (VAE), to Sentinel‐2 MSI imagery for chlorophyll ...

Benthic-pelagic coupling in sediment-associated populations of Karenia brevis [PDF]
Nutrient delivery to populations of Karenia brevis in oligotrophic water columns in the Gulf of Mexico remains uncertain. Aggregations of K. brevis near the sediment-water interface suggest that cells derive nutrients from the sediment. Video of cells near the sediment suggest that cells either access nutrients that flux out of the sediment or migrate ...

Modeled Karenia brevis accumulation in the vicinity of a coastal nutrient front [PDF]
The alongshore independent distribution of Karenia brevis, a dominant harmful algal bloom dinoflagellate in the Gulf of Mexico, was investigated in a shelf environment using the Expanded Eulerian physical-biological modeling approach. The physical model included an ocean of variable depth with a frontal region at the 25 m isobath, and moderate ...

Frontogenesis by material convergence in an estuary and its adjacent coastal ocean
Abstract Surface fronts are common features across the world's oceans, particularly in estuarine and coastal regions where the merging of freshwater and saltwater creates strong density gradients. It has long been documented that fronts in these regions can trap and concentrate various properties such as floating debris, nutrients, larvae, and other ...

Algal toxins alter copepod feeding behavior. [PDF]
Using digital holographic cinematography, we quantify and compare the feeding behavior of free-swimming copepods, Acartia tonsa, on nutritional prey (Storeatula major) to that occurring during exposure to toxic and non-toxic strains of Karenia brevis and

Termination patterns of Karenia brevis blooms in the eastern Gulf of Mexico
The factors governing the initiation and development of K. brevis blooms in the eastern Gulf of Mexico are fairly well understood, however the physical, chemical and biological factors underlying bloom transport and termination are not. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s HAB Monitoring database was analyzed from 1998 - 2021 for ...

Exocytic Mechanisms of Storage and Release of Brevetoxin in the Dinoflagellate Karenia Brevis [PDF]
Karenia brevis is a broadly distributed toxic dinoflagellate responsible for Red Tide outbreaks throughout the world. Deleterious effects of these blooms are caused by brevetoxin, a potent neurotoxin that binds to sodium channels in nerve and muscle cell leading to substantial marine life mortality and human morbidity.

Abstract Curcumin, a natural plant product derived from Curcuma longa, was assessed as a mitigation technique against the toxic bloom‐forming dinoflagellate Karenia brevis in two mesocosm experiments taking place in 2022 and 2024. In these experiments, curcumin was applied at a dosage of 5 mg L−1 to K.
