Finding Species-Specific Extracellular Surface-Facing Proteomes in Toxic Dinoflagellates
As a sequel to our previous report of the existence of species-specific protein/peptide expression profiles (PEPs) acquired by mass spectrometry in some dinoflagellates, we established, with the help of a plasma-membrane-impermeable labeling agent, a ...

Bacterial Production of Saxitoxin
A bacterium was isolated from the homogenate of Protogonyaulax tamarensis cells cultured in T1 medium containing antibiotics. The culture broth after centrifugation, to remove the cells, and the bacterial cells contained a toxin that could kill mice with signs similar to those of poisoning by paralytic shellfish toxins or tetrodotoxin. The toxin in the

Multiple New Paralytic Shellfish Toxin Vectors in Offshore North Sea Benthos, a Deep Secret Exposed
In early 2018, a large easterly storm hit the East Anglian coast of the UK, colloquially known as the ‘Beast from the East’, which also resulted in mass strandings of benthic organisms.

Chlorination for degrading saxitoxins (paralytic shellfish poisons) in water
Chlorination was investigated as a treatment option for degrading and thus removing saxitoxins (paralytic shellfish poisons, PSPs) produced by cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) from water. It was found to be effective with the order of ease of degradation

Immunoassays and Biosensors for the Detection of Cyanobacterial Toxins in Water
Algal blooms are a frequent phenomenon in nearly all kinds of fresh water. Global warming and eutrophication by waste water, air pollution and fertilizers seem to lead to an increased frequency of occurrence.

Visible Fluorescence Chemosensor for Saxitoxin [PDF]
Absorption spectra of a number of shellfish extracts have been obtained and reveal prominent absorptions in all samples at 210 and 260 nm and at 325 nm in some of them. These absorptions preclude the use of chromophores with similar absorptions in testing of shellfish samples for paralytic shellfish toxins.

First report of saxitoxins and anatoxin-a production by cyanobacteria from Lithuanian lakes / [PDF]
This study describes the first report on saxitoxins (STXs) and anatoxin-a (ANTX-a) production by cyanobacteria in Lithuanian lakes. Seasonal fluctuation patterns for neurotoxins were determined in samples collected from eutrophic lakes during July ...

Cyanobacteria are a bloom-forming ancient group of photosynthetic prokaryotes. A rise in temperature is a major contributor to its massive proliferation, namely on freshwater ecosystems, with social and economic impacts. Thus, reliable and cost-effective
