Grazer‐induced bioluminescence and toxicity in marine dinoflagellates

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 12, Page 3769-3783, December 2025.
Abstract Marine copepods are the most abundant multicellular zooplankton in the global oceans. They imprint their surrounding waters with a unique bouquet of chemical compounds, including polar lipids such as copepodamides. Prey organisms can detect copepodamides and respond by inducing defensive traits including bioluminescence, toxin production ...

A Synthesis of (+)-Saxitoxin

, 2016
An asymmetric synthesis of the bis-guanidinium poison, (+)-saxitoxin (STX), is described. Commencing from an N,O-acetal starting material made readily available through sulfamate ester C−H amination, the completed route to STX showcases the utility of ...

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 ...

Using environmental DNA to detect Microseira wollei (Oscillatoriales), a benthic harmful algal bloom, in Lake St. Clair (Michigan, USA)

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 949-959, December 2025.
Abstract Microseira wollei is a benthic cyanobacterium that can cause harmful algal blooms (HABs) and often requires management. However, a pervasive challenge for M. wollei management is characterizing the spatial and temporal extent of an impacted area, which can be time and resource intensive.

Comparative paralytic shellfish toxin accumulation in three important Aotearoa New Zealand marine invertebrate species: kina (Evechinus chloroticus), pāua (Haliotis iris) and hohehohe (Panopea zelandica)

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1252-1264, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the potential for paralytic shellfish toxin (PST) accumulation in three of Aotearoa New Zealand's (NZ) taonga seafood species: kina (urchin; Evechinus chloroticus), pāua (abalone; Haliotis iris) and hohehohe (geoduck; Panopea zelandica) in laboratory exposures to the dinoflagellate Alexandrium pacificum.

Oral Chronic Toxicity of the Safe Tetrodotoxin Dose Proposed by the European Food Safety Authority and Its Additive Effect with Saxitoxin

Toxins, 2020
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent natural toxin causative of human food intoxications that shares its mechanism of action with the paralytic shellfish toxin saxitoxin (STX). Both toxins act as potent blockers of voltage-gated sodium channels. Although human

Influence of environmental variables on saxitoxin yields by Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii in a mesotrophic subtropical reservoir

, 2017
Saxitoxins are a class of toxins produced by at least two groups of evolutionarily distant organisms (cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates). While the toxicity of these toxins is relatively well characterized, to date little is known about their drivers and
