Algae and Medicine

  • Chapter

Abstract

This discussion will be concentrated almost exclusively on the toxic effects of microscopic algae, i.e., phytoplankton. Table I (1) shows a simplified diagramatic scheme of the interrelationship of algae and plankton. The form our contribution will take is not that of a report of an original laboratory study. Rather it will be a digestion and distillation of what has gone before, as seen from a medical perspective.
