Gene expression and molecular evolution of sxtA4 in a saxitoxin producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella [PDF]
Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Dinoflagellates of the genus Alexandrium produce the neurotoxin saxitoxin (STX), responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) and accumulates in marine invertebrates. The recent identification of

Oceanography and Pacific Oyster Biochemical Composition in a Novel Oyster‐Growing Region
ABSTRACT The farming of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea [Magallana] gigas) is a rapidly growing industry in Alaska, where farms represent some of the highest latitude oyster cultivation efforts in the world. Little is known about the nearshore oceanography where Alaskan farms are located, or how the subarctic marine context influences oyster tissue ...

Current situation on analysis of marine toxins
Marine toxins are a food safety concern worldwide. This review discusses current analytical methods for those toxins that are legally regulated in Europe, namely domoic acid, saxitoxin, okadaic acid, yessotoxin, pectenotoxin and azaspiracids, and all ...

Filtering efficiency and feeding mechanisms of Daphnia pulex on Microcystis aeruginosa and Nannochloropsis [PDF]
The filtering and feeding rate of Daphnia pulex from the Old Durham Reservoir, Durham, NH, were measured to determine the feeding efficiency on different concentrations of non-toxic Nannochloropsis (Class Eustigmatophyceae) and toxigenic cyanobacteria ...

This study reveals that meta‐tyrosine (m‐Tyr), a nonproteinogenic analog of aromatic amino acids, disrupts protein synthesis and photosynthesis in cyanobacteria by being misincorporated by Phenylalanyl‐tRNA synthetase (PheRS) into essential proteins. Through molecular, biochemical, and proteomic analyses in Synechocystis, the research shows that m‐Tyr ...

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 ...
