Centrodinium punctatum (Dinophyceae) produces significant levels of saxitoxin and related analogs.
Harmful Algae, 2020 Centrodinium punctatum is a fusiform dinoflagellate with a global marine distribution. Due to a close phylogenetic relationship of one C. punctatum strain to Alexandrium species, toxin production of this C.

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Cyanobacteria are cosmopolitan, important components of biomass with a remarkable ability to synthesize a diverse array of bioactive compounds, some of which may have toxic effects on other organisms and ecosystems. In this study, filamentous cyanobacterial strains isolated predominantly from temperate European freshwaters (Aphanizomenon ...

Investigating diet as the source of tetrodotoxin in Pleurobranchaea maculata [PDF]
, 2014 The origin of tetrodotoxin (TTX) is highly debated; researchers have postulated either an endogenous or exogenous source with the host accumulating TTX symbiotically or via food chain transmission.

Statewide Intensification of Harmful Algal Blooms Across California Lakes and Reservoirs
GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Monitoring cyanobacteria is crucial for assessing water quality, safeguarding public health, and understanding ecosystem dynamics impacted by harmful algal blooms. This study explores the potential of satellite remote sensing (SRS) to assess risks of cyanotoxin exposure in California's recreational waters from 2002 to 2011 and 2016 to 2023 ...
