After a brutal spring of toxic algae blooms turning sea lions into sick, snarling seaside hazards, anxious beachgoers can ...

推荐 为探究软骨藻酸（DA）在底栖硅藻Nitzschia navis-varingica中的生物合成机制，研究人员通过基因组测序和比较基因组学分析，鉴定了DA生物合成基因（dabA、dabB、dabC和dabD）。研究发现该物种中存在两个dabC拷贝，可能对DA及其异构体的生物合成具有重要功能 ...

Congratulations, Southern California. Experts say the worst of the deadly algae bloom is over. The Marine Mammal Care Center ...

Specifically, I focus on HABs of Pseudo-nitzschia, which produce the potent neurotoxin domoic acid. These blooms are dangerous because domoic acid can contaminate shellfish, poison marine mammals and ...

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus, gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from their environment, thanks to a bacterial gene picked up by an ancestor ...

Two HAB toxins are of concern in the region: saxitoxins (STXs), a family of compounds produced by the dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella, and domoic acid (DA), produced by multiple species in the ...

This week, the Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro said it had seen no new patients with domoic acid poisoning or any recent signs of Pseudo-nitzschia algae in Southern California waters.

However, one creature—a microscopic algae bloom that produces a neurotoxin called Pseudo-nitzschia—actually thrived. And because of huge releases of the creature's neurotoxin, many commercial ...

An international team of scientists has just confirmed the presence there of two species of Pseudo-nitzschia diatoms capable of producing a dangerous neurotoxin that can cause severe sickness and ...
