A comprehensive study on freshwater pufferfish Pao baileyi: profiles of toxin possession, accumulation, and uptake [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceFreshwater pufferfish, primarily belonging to the genus Pao, constitute an important branch in the family Tetraodontidae. Toxic freshwater pufferfish contain saxitoxin (STX) but lack tetrodotoxin (TTX), which is commonly found in marine pufferfish. Here,

A Wideband Noise Radar System Using a Phased Array with True Time Delay
Remote Sensing, 2022 Noise radar has become attractive owing to progress in hardware technology. Aside from the low probability of exploitation, the use of noise waveform is likely to grow due to its low interference features, especially in circumstances where multiple ...

Origin of saxitoxin biosynthetic genes in cyanobacteria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is a potentially fatal syndrome associated with the consumption of shellfish that have accumulated saxitoxin (STX). STX is produced by microscopic marine dinoflagellate algae.
