   Brevetoxin — an elusive toxin in New Zealand waters

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: P McNabb L Rhodes J Adamson P Holland

   Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) was used to test 34 microalgal isolates, all known or reported to be brevetoxin producers. Only Karenia brevis strains, imported from the USA, produced brevetoxin. In contrast, all isolates cultured in New Zealand proved non-toxic...

   Detection methods and their limitations: PSP toxins in the southern puffer fish Sphoeroides nephelus responsible for human poisoning events in Florida in 2004

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: S Etheridge J Deeds S Hall K White L Flewelling J Abbott J Landsberg S Conrad D Bodager G Jackow

   High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with post-column derivatisation and fluorescence detection has been commonly used for analysing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins. However, identifying peaks with confidence requires that steps be taken beyond simple chromatographic runs, owing in part to the...

   Characterisation of new analogues of palytoxin isolated from an Ostreopsis mascarenensis bloom in the south-western Indian Ocean

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Marine Science • Authors: S Lenoir L Ten-Hage J Turquet JP Quod MC Hennion

   A preliminary screening of toxins of the crude extract of Ostreopsis mascarenensis Quod, a benthic dinoflagellate from the south-western Indian Ocean, revealed a neurotoxicity in mice similar to that induced by palytoxin, one of the most potent marine toxins involved...
