Harmful Algae
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia, crucial to the Southern Ocean's phytoplankton, are not well-studied for their diversity and toxicity despite their role in forming harmful algal blooms globally.
- Research expeditions led to the identification of two new Pseudo-nitzschia species and a detailed description of P. turgidula, with findings showing limited domoic acid production in most species tested.
- The study highlights the need for thorough research on Antarctic phytoplankton, especially given the risks posed by climate change to marine ecosystems.
