Ostreopsis cf. ovata bloom in the northern Adriatic Sea during summer 2009: Ecology, molecular characterization and toxin profile

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Toxin analysis performed by high resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed a high total toxin content (up to 75 pg cell(-1)), including putative palytoxin and all the ovatoxins known so far.

First Finding of Ostreopsis cf. ovata Toxins in Marine Aerosols

TL;DR: The results, besides confirming the presence of O. ovata cells and demonstrating for the first time the occurrence of ovatoxins in the aerosol, are only a first step toward a more comprehensive understanding of the Ostreopsis-related respiratory syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique toxin profile of a Mediterranean Ostreopsis cf. ovata strain: HR LC-MS(n) characterization of ovatoxin-f, a new palytoxin congener.

TL;DR: The presence of ovatoxin-f should be taken into account when monitoring programs for palytoxin-like compounds in microalgae and/or seawater are carried out.

Nitrogen and phosphorus limitation effects on cell growth, biovolume, and toxin production in Ostreopsis cf. ovata

TL;DR: Effects of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) limited conditions on cell growth, cell size, biovolume, and toxin production of an O. ovata strain isolated from the Adriatic Sea is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

A conceptual model of annual Ostreopsis cf. ovata blooms in the northern Adriatic Sea based on the synergic effects of hydrodynamics, temperature, and the N:P ratio of water column nutrients

TL;DR: The net effect of the synergy between local hydrodynamic conditions, temperature, and N and P availability may help to explain why blooms in the northern Adriatic Sea occur differently from those in other Mediterranean regions.
