Talanta OpenFrom 1985 to 2018, 35 % of shellfish poisoning cases worldwide were due to paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). The main representative toxin congener of the PSP toxin family is saxitoxin (STX), a highly toxic neurotoxin capable of blocking nerve impulse

Gene expression in the biosynthesis of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) toxins in dinoflagellates: a mini review [PDF]
, 2016 Some dinoflagellates are known to synthesize saxitoxin (STX), a potent neurotoxin that causes severe paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). In addition, several freshwater species of cyanobacteria also synthesize the same toxin with the same biosynthetic ...

Transcriptomic study of a toxin-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella [PDF]
, 2015 亚历山大藻（Alexandriumspp.）是一种能够产生麻痹性贝类毒素（paralyticshellfishtoxins，PSTs）的海洋甲藻，广泛分布于近海环境中。近年来由其产生的毒素导致的海洋生物死亡及人类中毒事件频发，严重威胁到近海生态系统、水产养殖业、人类健康和生命财产安全，已成为一个全球性的环境和健康问题。虽然目前在亚历山大藻毒素来源及产毒生理方面取得了较大进展，但对毒素合成机制的了解仍较少。 本论文以有毒链状亚历山大藻（Alexandriumcatenella）为研究对象 ...
