TLDR
Results showed that the toxin composition type was the same for parent and sub-strains, indicating that the toxins composition is a stable character for a strain.About:

Pseudo-nitzschia (Bacillariophyceae) species, domoic acid and amnesic shellfish poisoning: revisiting previous paradigms
TL;DR: Gaps in knowledge include further information about the whole genome of Pseudo-nitzschia, mechanisms of DA production and decline, presence or absence of a resting stage, heterotrophic ability, impact of viruses and fungi, and a more complete description of the ecological and physiological roles of DA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudo-nitzschia, Nitzschia, and domoic acid: New research since 2011.
TL;DR: This review covers new information since two previous reviews in 2012, including how and why DA and its isomers are produced, the world distribution of potentially toxigenic Nitzschia species, the prevalence of DA isomers, and molecular markers to discriminate between toxigenics and non-toxigenic species.

Pseudo-nitzschia kodamae sp. nov. (Bacillariophyceae), a toxigenic species from the Strait of Malacca, Malaysia
TL;DR: A recent field survey of Pseudo-nitzschia species from coastal waters of Malaysia demonstrated the presence of a novel morphotype, P. kodamae sp.

TL;DR: One morphotype from Sarawak, while somewhat similar to P. caciantha, showed significant morphological distinction from this and any other of the currently described species, and is here described as a new species, Pseudo‐nitzschia circumpora sp.

Culture of Phytoplankton for Feeding Marine Invertebrates
TL;DR: The methods suffice for the most fastidious algae now routinely cultivable, and simplifications indicated for less demanding species are easily made; for example, omission of silicate for plants other than diatoms.

TL;DR: An outbreak of food poisoning in Canada during autumn 1987 was traced to cultured blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from the Cardigan Bay region of eastern Prince Edward Island and represents the first known occurrence of human poisoning by this neurotoxin.
