Dinophysis Toxins: Distribution, Fate in Shellfish and Impacts

Beatriz Reguera et al. Toxins (Basel). .

Abstract

Several planktonic dinoflagellate species of the genus Dinophysis produce one or two groups of lipophilic toxins: (i) okadaic acid (OA) and its derivatives, the dinophysistoxins (DTXs), and (ii) pectenotoxins (PTXs) [...].
