Species of the diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia are common in the marine phytoplankton world-wide. Some species of this genus have been proved to be source of domoic acid (DA), a powerful toxin causing Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP) in humans and probably mass mortality in sea birds and mammals. Net plankton samples obtained during several cruises ...
looms of domoic acid (DA) synthesizing diatoms (Pseudo-nitzschia spp.) have been associated with the death and injury of hundreds of marine shorebirds and mammals, exposed humans to potentially serious health risks, and threatened to significantly impact coastal fisheries and economies dependent on marine resources. While indicator organisms are wi...
We applied molecular methods using a DNA probe and fluorescently tagged lectins to discriminate toxic Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries from the Chinhae Bay for a Korean harmfulalgae monitoring program. From the binding activity of lectins, P. multistriata, P. subfraudulenta, P. pungens, P. multiseries and P. cuspidata bound ConA, whereas P. subpacifica...

Phytoplankton studies in Peter the Great Bay (Sea of Japan) revealed three species of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia H. Perag. in H. et M. Peragallo, namely, P. pungens (Grun. ex Cl.) Hasle; P. multiseries (Grun.) Hasle, and P. pseudodelicatissima Hasle. Mass blooms of P. pungens and P. multiseries were registered in Amurskii Bay in June 1992. The maxi...
In general seafood is safe, tasty and nutritious, but there are some naturally occurring toxins that can make seafood dangerous for consumers. One such toxin is domoic acid, a potent neurotoxin produced by microscopic diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia.
