Alternative method to detect compounds produced by Gambierdiscus spp.
Ciguatoxins (CTXs) and CTX precursors are produced by several Gambierdiscus spp. These polyether toxins are associated to ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP). In addition to CTX, maitotoxins (MTX) and gambierol are also produced by these dinoflagellates.

Toxicology of Gambierdiscus spp. (Dinophyceae) from Tropical and Temperate Australian Waters. [PDF]
Ciguatera Fish Poisoning (CFP) is a human illness caused by the consumption of marine fish contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTX) and possibly maitotoxins (MTX), produced by species from the benthic dinoflagellate genus Gambierdiscus.

The Formosalides: Structure Determination by Total Synthesis
Total synthesis allowed the identification of the most likely stereostructure of the cytotoxic marine macrolides of the formosalide family (see structure) from eight possibilities. The successful route was based upon an inherently flexible blueprint that builds all stereogenic centers by strictly catalyst controlled transformations prior to formation ...

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 ...
