Some diatoms of the genera Pseudo-nitzschia and Nitzschia produce the neurotoxin domoic
acid (DA), a compound that caused amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) in humans just over …

The aim of this new book series (Diatoms: Biology and Applications) is to provide a
comprehensive and reliable source of information on diatom biology and applications. The …

Phytoplankton are crucial primary producers in freshwater ecosystems, driving matter and
energy flow across trophic levels, essential for biodiversity and ecological balance. Most …

Abstract Hollow B–SiO 2@ TiO 2 composites were prepared by the wet chemical deposition
method starting from TiCl 4 and hollow B–SiO 2 microspheres. TiO 2 layers composed of …

In the field of drowning research, the method of diatom morphology has been most applied
to determine whether the cause of death is drowning. However, the characteristics of …

Diatoms form an essential part of marine food webs, but may also cause harm by producing
secondary metabolites like oxylipins and the neurotoxins β-N-methylamino-L-alanine …

In the context of global climate change, the frequency and duration of harmful algal blooms
(HABs) due to eutrophic coastal waters have increased. HABs can cause marine ecological …

Excessive intake of retinoic acids (RAs) and the oxidative metabolites, 4-oxo-RAs, can lead
to abnormal morphological development in animals. This study investigated spatiotemporal …

Karenia mikimotoi is a well-known harmful algal bloom species. Blooms of this dinoflagellate
have become a serious threat to marine life, including fish, shellfish, and zooplanktons and …

Antialgal compounds from plants have been identified as promising candidates for
controlling harmful algal blooms (HABs). In our previous study, luteolin-7-O-glucuronide was …
