Alexandrium minutum is a globally distributed harmful algal bloom species with many strains
that are known to produce paralytic shellfish toxins (PST s) and consequently represent a …

Toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium spp. produce saxitoxins (STXs), whose biosynthesis
pathway is affected by temperature. However, the link between the regulation of the relevant …

Many blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum have been recorded since
1990 in the Gulf of Gabes (southwestern Mediterranean Sea). To understand the …

Turbulence has been shown to alter different aspects of the physiology of some
dinoflagellates. The response appears to be species‐specific and dependent on the …

A qualitative and semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay was
developed for the detection of several potentially Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) species and …

The use of molecular methods to investigate microalgal communities of natural and
engineered freshwater resources is in its infancy, with the majority of previous studies …

A study of Gymnodinium catenatum and Alexandrium minutum blooms on the Galician coast
was conducted from 2005 to 2007 in order to increase knowledge of the mechanisms …

Increased anthropic pressure on the coastal zones of the Mediterranean Sea caused an
enrichment in nutrients, promoting microalgal proliferation. Among those organisms, some …

Annual recurrent blooms of the toxic dinoflagellates Alexandrium catenella and Alexandrium
minutum were detected from 2000 to 2003 in harbours along the Catalan coast. The …

The dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum is a toxic bloom-forming species distributed
worldwide. The mechanisms driving and promoting the species blooms and their toxicity are …
