Abstract
A bacterium Moraxella sp. isolated from Protogonyaulax tamarensis was cultured in various conditions. Changes of toxicity and toxin components of the cells during culture were analyzed by bioassay and HPLC-fluorometric analysis. Toxin productivity of Moraxella sp. increased when it was cultured in nutrition-deficient environments. The main toxins produced by Moraxella sp. in these conditions were gonyautoxins (GTXs), mainly GTX 1 and 4 which are major toxins of P. tamarensis.Entities:
