Research Abstract |
Distribution, ASP toxin production characteristics and the dynamics of these toxins were surveyed for the toxin producing diatom, Pseudo-nitszchia multiseries, Nitzschia navis-varingica and red alga Chondria armata. It was hypothesized that N. navis-varingica is a tropical species and expanded its distribution to eastern Japan along the warm water current "Kuroshio" which flows from the east coast of the Philippines to Japan. The characteristics of growth and the geographical comparison in the toxin profiles and genetic markers in N. navis-varingica strains along the "Kuroshio" supported the above hypothesis. N. navis-varingica shows the toxin profiles composed of domoic acid and isodomoic acids A and B. Factors controlling the toxin profiles were searched, resulting in finding the important roles of genetic difference and environmental bacteria. Bacterial effect on the toxin production seemed to be the most obvious in P. multiseries culture than in other organisms cultures.
