Facile and Cost-Effective Detection of Saxitoxin Exploiting Aptamer Structural Switching

Food Technology and Biotechnology, 2015
A simple method to detect saxitoxin (STX), one of the main components of the paralytic shellfish poison from red tide, has been developed. By using a next generation dye for double-stranded DNA we were able to differentiate fluorescence from STX-binding ...

Spectroscopic detection of Saxitoxin: an alternative to mouse bioassay

, 2006
Herein, we report the surface modification of quartz with a coumaryl-aza-crown-6 derivative to detect Saxitoxin using fluorescence enhancement through Photoinduced Electron Transfer and the sensitivity with this system approaches the limit of the mouse ...

Limnofasciculus delicatus (Coleofasciculaceae, Coleofasciculales), a Novel Mat‐Forming Cyanobacterium From Shenandoah River, Virginia, USA

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
A novel mat‐forming benthic freshwater cyanobacterium, Limnofasciculus delicatus, is described based on morphological, phylogenetic and genomic evidence from the North and South Forks of the Shenandoah River. Although Limnofasciculus delicatus lacks biosynthetic gene clusters associated with the production of known cyanotoxins, it occurs in association

Occurrence of toxin-producing cyanobacteria blooms in a Brazilian semiarid reservoir

Brazilian Journal of Biology
We report the occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms and the presence of cyanotoxins in water samples from the Armando Ribeiro Gonçalves reservoir (06° 08’ S and 37° 07’ W), located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in the semiarid region of northeastern

Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in Mollusks from Galicia Analyzed by a Fast Refined AOAC 2005.06 Method: Toxicity, Toxin Profile, and Inter-Specific, Spatial, and Seasonal Variations

Toxins
Paralytic shellfish poisoning is an important concern for mollusk fisheries, aquaculture, and public health. In Galicia, NW Iberian Peninsula, such toxicity has been monitored for a long time using mouse bioassay.

Dominance and toxicity without lethality: Exploring biomass, cyanometabolites, and Daphnia responses across Cyanobacterial strains

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 801-817, June 2026.
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 ...

Insertions within the Saxitoxin Biosynthetic Gene Cluster Result in Differential Toxin Profiles

, 2018
The neurotoxin saxitoxin and related paralytic shellfish toxins are produced by multiple species of cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates. This study investigates the two saxitoxin-producing strains of Scytonema crispum, CAWBG524 and CAWBG72, isolated in ...

Evaluation of the study carried out by ANSES on the effectiveness of sanitary shucking of queen scallops (Aequipecten opercularis) contaminated by okadaic acid toxins

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA evaluated the effectiveness of sanitary shucking of queen scallops (Aequipecten opercularis) contaminated with okadaic acid (OA) group toxins. Specifically, EFSA was tasked to evaluate a study conducted by the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES ...

Saxitoxin time–resolved absorption and resonance FT–IR and Raman biospectroscopy and density functional theory investigation of vibronic–mode coupling structure in vibrational spectra analysis

American Journal of Experimental and Clinical Research, 2019
Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent neurotoxin and the best–known paralytic shellfish toxin (PST). Ingestion of Saxitoxin by humans, usually by consumption of shellfish contaminated by toxic algal blooms, is responsible for the illness known as paralytic ...

The Outer Vestibule of the Na+ Channel–Toxin Receptor and Modulator of Permeation as Well as Gating

Marine Drugs, 2010
The outer vestibule of voltage-gated Na+ channels is formed by extracellular loops connecting the S5 and S6 segments of all four domains (“P-loops”), which fold back into the membrane. Classically, this structure has been implicated in the control of ion
