Morphological observation of two species of Pseudo-nitzschia (Bacillariophyceae)
About one third of the species in the genus Pseudo-nitzschia has been known to produce domoic acid, which is responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning, resulting in human intoxication and the death of marine fauna. Precise identification to species level was done based on ultrastructure of frustul...

| Summary: | About one third of the species in the genus Pseudo-nitzschia has been known to produce domoic acid, which is responsible for amnesic shellfish poisoning, resulting in human intoxication and the death of marine fauna. Precise identification to species level was done based on ultrastructure of frustules marking, which includes fibulae, striae, poroids and central interspace, as well as the cell dimensions. In this study, detail morphological observation of field samples and clonal cultures of Pseudo-nitzschia from estuarine waters... |
