Toxische Planktonalgen

Naturwissenschaften Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Plankton algae occasionally produce water blooms in which cell density may be so high as to colour the water reddish or yellow-brown. Some of these organisms exhibit considerable toxicity. While the marine toxic species belong almost exclusively to the dinoflagellates, toxin producers of limnic habitats are mostly blue-green algae. Some chemical and pharmacological properties of algal toxins are discussed.
