Gene expression in the biosynthesis of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) toxins in dinoflagellates: a mini review [PDF]

, 2016
Some dinoflagellates are known to synthesize saxitoxin (STX), a potent neurotoxin that causes severe paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). In addition, several freshwater species of cyanobacteria also synthesize the same toxin with the same biosynthetic ...

Shellfish Spotlight: 2008 [PDF]

, 2008
Each year Granite State shellfishers search shallow briny waters in search of delicious mussels, clams, or oysters for the dinner table. Those who are skilled often are rewarded with full buckets, but few shellfishers realize that good harvests in New ...

Saxitoxin time–resolved absorption and resonance FT–IR and Raman biospectroscopy and density functional theory investigation of vibronic–mode coupling structure in vibrational spectra analysis

American Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research, 2019
Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent neurotoxin and the best–known paralytic shellfish toxin (PST). Ingestion of Saxitoxin by humans, usually by consumption of shellfish contaminated by toxic algal blooms, is responsible for the illness known as paralytic ...

Paralytic shellfish poisoning in Singapore.

Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore, 1986
Paralytic shellfish poisoning is caused by the ingestion of shellfish meat rendered toxic by exposure to a high level of toxic dinoflagellates during the phenomenon of "red tide". This paper reports the first outbreak of paralytic shellfish poisoning from green mussels in Singapore which resulted in two deaths.

Scientific assessment of marine harmful algal blooms [PDF]

, 2008
Algae are the most abundant photosynthetic organisms in marine ecosystems and are essential components of marine food webs. Harmful algal bloom or “HAB” species are a small subset of algal species that negatively impact humans or the environment.

Exploring the binding potential of natural compounds to carbonic anhydrase of cyanobacteria through computer-based simulations

Discover Applied Sciences
Cyanobacteria in water bodies cause harmful cyanobacterial blooms, releasing toxins that degrade water quality and cause health issues. Common Harmful Algal Bloom-related disorders (HABs) include neurotoxic shellfish poisoning, ciguatera poisoning ...

Detection of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins using a colorimetric immunosensing tool for food safety control

Talanta Open
From 1985 to 2018, 35 % of shellfish poisoning cases worldwide were due to paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). The main representative toxin congener of the PSP toxin family is saxitoxin (STX), a highly toxic neurotoxin capable of blocking nerve impulse
