Co-occurrence of marine and freshwater phycotoxins in oysters, and analysis of possible predictors for management

open access: yesToxicon: X, 2023
Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were screened for 12 phycotoxins over two years in nearshore waters to collect baseline phycotoxin data and to determine prevalence of phycotoxin co-occurrence in the commercially and ecologically-relevant species.

Current Trends and New Challenges in Marine Phycotoxins

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
Marine phycotoxins are a multiplicity of bioactive compounds which are produced by microalgae and bioaccumulate in the marine food web. Phycotoxins affect the ecosystem, pose a threat to human health, and have important economic effects on aquaculture ...

Recent Advances in Aptasensing Strategies for Monitoring Phycotoxins: Promising for Food Safety

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
Phycotoxins or marine toxins cause massive harm to humans, livestock, and pets. Current strategies based on ordinary methods are long time-wise and require expert operators, and are not reliable for on-site and real-time use.

Gambierone and Sodium Channel Specific Bioactivity Are Associated with the Extracellular Metabolite Pool of the Marine Dinoflagellate Coolia palmyrensis

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2023
Tropical epibenthic dinoflagellate communities produce a plethora of bioactive secondary metabolites, including the toxins ciguatoxins (CTXs) and potentially gambierones, that can contaminate fishes, leading to ciguatera poisoning (CP) when consumed by ...
