Article Synopsis
- Consumption of seafood contaminated by phycotoxins from harmful algae, like V. rugosum, poses significant public health risks, with a focus on neurotoxins called pinnatoxins (PnTXs).
- The study developed linear mixed models based on environmental data from four Mediterranean lagoons to predict the presence of V. rugosum and PnTX G contamination in mussels, finding strong correlations with seawater temperature.
- Results indicated that 25% of mussel consumers might exceed safe dietary limits during warmer months, leading to recommendations for ongoing monitoring of these harmful algae and toxins.
Sequential membrane filtration of water samples is commonly used to monitor the diversity of aquatic microbial eukaryotes. This capture method is efficient to focus on specific taxonomic groups within a size fraction, but it is time-consuming. Centrifugation, often used to collect microorganisms from pure culture, could be seen as an alternative to capture microbial eukaryotic communities from environmental samples.
