Microalgal blooms are a natural part of the seasonal cycle of photosynthetic organisms in
marine ecosystems. They are key components of the structure and dynamics of the oceans …

The long-lasting interest in bioactive molecules (namely toxins) produced by (microalga)
dinoflagellates has risen in recent years. Exhibiting wide diversity and complexity, said …

Ostreopsis cf. ovata produces palytoxin analogues including ovatoxins (OVTXs) and a
putative palytoxin (p-PLTX), which can accumulate in marine organisms and may possibly …

The feasibility of the long-term (> 170 days) culture of a dinoflagellate microalga in a
raceway photobioreactor is demonstrated for the first time. Amphidinium carterae was …

The presence of Ostreopsis cf. ovata on the Mediterranean coast represents a serious
concern to human health due to production of toxins–putative palytoxin and ovatoxins …

In this perspective, we showcase the benefits of continuous flow chemistry and
photochemistry and how these valuable tools have contributed to the synthesis of organic …

A new photosynthetic planktonic marine dinoflagellate, A zadinium dexteroporum sp. nov., is
described from the Gulf of Naples (South Tyrrhenian Sea, Mediterranean Sea). The plate …

We identified three new azaspiracids (AZAs) with molecular weights of 715, 815, and 829
(AZA33 (3), AZA34 (4), and AZA35, respectively) in mussels, seawater, and Azadinium …

This chapter describes the chemical characteristics of azaspiracids (AZAs) to complete the
view on this toxin group, with two other chapters in this book dedicated to toxicological1 and …

Gymnodimine-A (GYM-A) is a fast-acting microalgal toxin and its production of certified
materials requires an efficient harvesting technology from the large-scale cultures of …
