Biosynthesis of Saxitoxin in Marine Dinoflagellates: An Omics Perspective
Marine Drugs, 2020 Saxitoxin is an alkaloid neurotoxin originally isolated from the clam Saxidomus giganteus in 1957. This group of neurotoxins is produced by several species of freshwater cyanobacteria and marine dinoflagellates.

Origin of saxitoxin biosynthetic genes in cyanobacteria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a potentially fatal syndrome associated with the consumption of shellfish that have accumulated saxitoxin (STX). STX is produced by microscopic marine dinoflagellate algae.
