Article Synopsis
- Nitrate and phosphate are key nutrients influencing Alexandrium species growth and toxin production, crucial for understanding algal blooms.
- A strain of Alexandrium tamarense was isolated and studied in lab cultures under varying N and P concentrations, examining its growth and cellular toxin content.
- The study found positive correlations between cellular toxicity and N levels while noting that toxicity increased when P was low; additionally, N or P depletion negatively impacted cell growth but resulted in larger cell sizes.
