Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicology and Pharmacological Action of Anabaena flos-aquae Toxin
TL;DR: Experiments showed that lethal oral doses of bacteria-free lyophilized cell suspensions of toxic Anabaena flos-aquae died as a result of respiratory arrest because the main effect of the toxin was production of a sustained postsynaptic depolarizing neuromuscular blockade.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved method for obtaining axenic clones of planktonic blue‐green algae1,2
TL;DR: Axenic clones from 5 isolates of Anabaena flosaquae, 1 isolate of Microcystis acruginosa, and1 isolate of Aphanizomenon flos‐aquae were obtained by a combination of steps that provided a 1000‐fold reduction in the bacteria‐algae ratio and permitted bacteria‐free filaments or cells to be isolated and grown from agar pour plates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatoxins from clones of Anabaena flos-aquae isolated from lakes of western Canada: With 3 figures and 2 tables in the text
TL;DR: In this paper, Anatoxins from clones of Anabaena flos-aquae isolated from lakes of western Canada were analyzed and compared with those obtained from the same species.
Book ChapterDOI
The Mosaic Nature of Toxic Blooms of Cyanobacteria
TL;DR: Based on signs of poisoning produced in mice and chicks by populations and isolates, Microcystis aeruginosa type-c toxin was found to be primarily responsible for the toxicity observed at different stations during all three seasons.
