Alzheimer’s Disease and Toxins Produced by Marine Dinoflagellates: An Issue to Explore
This paper examined the toxins naturally produced by marine dinoflagellates and their effects on increases in β-amyloid plaques along with tau protein hyperphosphorylation, both major drivers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This approach is in line with the

Ostreopsis cf. ovata produces palytoxin analogues including ovatoxins (OVTXs) and a putative palytoxin (p-PLTX), which can accumulate in marine organisms and may possibly lead to food intoxication. However, purified ovatoxins are not widely available and

Physiological and molecular responses of bivalves to toxic dinoflagellates [PDF]
Dinoflagellates and other microalgae can produce a wide spectrum of toxic molecules, which are the main responsible of shellfish poisoning syndromes. During seasonal harmful algal blooms (HABs), many filter-feeding marine invertebrates, including bivalve

Effects of Nutrient Limitation on the Synthesis of N-Rich Phytoplankton Toxins: A Meta-Analysis
Eutrophication has played a major role in the worldwide increase of harmful algal blooms (HABs). Higher input of key nutrients, such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), can stimulate the growth of harmful algal species in freshwater, estuarine, and ...

MALDI-TOFMS for phycotoxins detection in microalgae whole cells [PDF]
Rapid and sensitive methods for identification of several phycotoxins produced by microalgae species such as Yessotoxins (YTXs) for Protoceratium reticulatum, Okadaic acid (OA) and Pectenotoxins (PTXs) for Prorocentrum spp.

Spatiotemporal distribution of phycotoxins and their co-occurrence within nearshore waters
Harmful algal blooms (HABs), varying in intensity and causative species, have historically occurred throughout the Chesapeake Bay, U.S.; however, phycotoxin data are sparse.

Simultaneous Pre-Concentration and HPLC-MS/MS Quantification of Phycotoxins and Cyanotoxins in Inland and Coastal Waters. [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to set up a sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of phycotoxins and cyanotoxins—Emerging pollutants with different structures and harmful properties (hepatotoxicity, neurotoxicity and cytotoxicity)—In ...
