Removal of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins by Probiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria

Toxins, 2014
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are non-protein neurotoxins produced by saltwater dinoflagellates and freshwater cyanobacteria. The ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains GG and LC-705 (in viable and non-viable forms) to remove PSTs (saxitoxin (STX)

Environmental governance in the face of collapse: The case of Acapulco, Mexico, between tourist splendour and ecological risk

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Underwater clean‐up efforts in Acapulco Bay reveal the visible consequences of chronic coastal pollution. This study shows how Environmental Risk Assessments (ERAs) can integrate scientific evidence, regulatory frameworks and practitioner experience to identify pollution sources and guide more effective coastal governance in cities of the Global South.

Predicting Karenia brevis Induced Respiratory Irritation at Individual Southwest Florida Beaches Using Cell Abundances Plus Wind Direction and Speed

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Nearly annually, blooms of the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis form along the southwest Florida coast leading to a variety of negative impacts, including respiratory irritation (RI) in humans. To limit these impacts, NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) developed a RI model to provide beach‐goers with a category‐based ...

Outbreak of paralytic shellfish poisoning in Tasmania

Communicable Diseases Intelligence, 2018
Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a rare illness caused by eating shellfish containing paralytic shellfish toxins (PST). Toxins are produced during harmful algal blooms, which occur most years on the east coast of Tasmania. Contaminated seafood looks and tastes normal and toxins are not destroyed by cooking or freezing.
