Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are diverse phenomena involving multiple. species and
classes of algae that occupy a broad range of habitats from lakes to oceans and produce a …

Domoic acid is a potent neurotoxin that is naturally produced by several diatom species of
the genus Pseudo-nitzschia. The toxin acts as a glutamate agonist and is excitotoxic in the …

Over the last decade, our understanding of the environmental controls on Pseudo-nitzschia
blooms and domoic acid (DA) production has matured. Pseudo-nitzschia have been found …

Diatoms represent one of the most important groups within marine phytoplankton and are
characterized by having a siliceous cell wall (frustule). They contribute up to 45% of the total …

Blooms of the marine diatom genus Pseudo-nitzschia that produce the neurotoxin domoic
acid have been documented with regularity along the coast of southern California since …

Diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia produce domoic acid (DA), a toxin that is vectored in
the marine food web, thus causing serious problems for marine organisms and humans. In …
