Determination of diarrhetic shellfish toxins in various dinoflagellate species
TL;DR: Sixteen species of unialgal samples of dinoflagellate, either wild or cultured, were tested for production of diarrhetic shellfish toxins such as okadaic acid, dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX1), and pectenotoxins (PTXs), and PTX2 was the only toxin detected among PTX family.
Journal ArticleDOI
CHARACTERIZATION OF OSTREOPSIS AND COOLIA (DINOPHYCEAE) ISOLATES IN THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN SEA BASED ON MORPHOLOGY, TOXICITY AND INTERNAL TRANSCRIBED SPACER 5.8S rDNA SEQUENCES
Antonella Penna,Magda Vila,Santiago Fraga,Maria Grazia Giacobbe,Francesca Andreoni,Pilar Riobó,Cristiano Vernesi +6 more
TL;DR: In this study, genetic markers combined with morphology and toxicity analyses was useful in the taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of the Ostreopsidaceae in a temperate area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gambierdiscus and Ostreopsis: Reassessment of the state of knowledge of their taxonomy, geography, ecophysiology, and toxicology
Michael L. Parsons,Katerina Aligizaki,Marie-Yasmine Dechraoui Bottein,Santiago Fraga,Steve L. Morton,Antonella Penna,Lesley Rhodes +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the state of knowledge on these genera is presented, with particular emphasis on the validation or dismissal of earlier findings in light of these revisions, and the review is divided into four sections (taxonomy, geography, ecophysiology, and toxicology).
Journal ArticleDOI
Production and release of yessotoxins by the dinoflagellates Protoceratium reticulatum and Lingulodinium polyedrum in culture
TL;DR: Although YTX was detected in culture medium, with this study it was not possible to explain which is the release mechanism of the toxin in the medium, and larger amounts of toxins were observed in the cellular fraction and in the culture medium at the last stage of the culture in both species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gambierdiscus excentricus sp. nov. (Dinophyceae), a benthic toxic dinoflagellate from the Canary Islands (NE Atlantic Ocean)
Santiago Fraga,Francisco Rodríguez,Amandine Caillaud,Jorge Diogène,Nicolás Raho,Manuel Zapata +5 more
TL;DR: The Neuroblastoma cell-based assays for ciguatoxins (CTX) and maitotoxin (MTX) confirmed G. excentricus as a CTX- and MTX-like compounds producer.
