Article Abstract
To explore the nutrient properties of Prorocentrum lima and biosynthesis mechanism of diarrhetic shellfish poison (DSP), the growth and activities of alkaline phosphatase of Prorocentrum lima were observed under different phosphorus sources. DSP productions were also analyzed. The maximum growth rate (micro(max)) was slightly lower under beta-sodium glycerophosphate than those under NaH2PO4 and ATP as phosphorus sources, respectively. The maximum biomass (X) under ATP was higher than those under NaH2PO4 and beta-sodium glycerophosphate as the phosphorus sources, respectively. When the concentration of NaH2PO4 was below 2 micromol/L, the activity of alkaline phosphatase increased significantly. However, the activities were much low in the all treatments when beta-sodium glycerophosphate used as phosphorus source, whereas the activities increased with the concentration of ATP when ATP used as phosphorus source. The level of okadaic acid (OA) in Prorocentrum lima at the stationary phase under beta-sodium glycerophosphate was higher than those under NaH2PO4 and ATP. These suggested that beta-sodium glycerophosphate could be utilized directly by Prorocentrum lima with lower efficiency; ATP could induce alkaline phosphatase to produce inorganic phosphate for algae. DSP production in Prorocentrum lima were different under various phosphate sources, beta-sodium glycerophosphate enhanced production of DSP. The difference in DSP production might be related with the physiological state of Prorocentrum lima.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs), exacerbated by climate change and environmental disturbances, pose global challenges due to marine toxin contamination, particularly diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs). DSTs are prevalent marine toxins, and understanding their synthesis is vital for managing fisheries and mitigating environmental triggers. This study delves into the synthesis mechanisms of DSTs in Prorocentrum arenarium and Prorocentrum lima, which vary in toxin types and concentrations.

Microplastics (MP) are suitable substrates for the colonization of harmful microalgal cells and the adsorption of their lipophilic compounds including phycotoxins. Moreover, such interactions likely change as physical-chemical characteristics of the MP surface are gradually modified during plastic degradation in aquatic environments. Using a combination of innovative laboratory experiments, this study systematically investigated, for the first time, the influence of various MP characteristics (polymeric composition, shape, size, and/or surface roughness) on its capacity to carry both living harmful algal cells and dissolved phycotoxins.

Possessing sessile filter-feeding lifestyle, bivalves are more susceptible to contamination by benthic phycotoxins such as the diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs). Due to the prevalence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments, bivalve that experienced MP-exposure are potentially at higher risk from exposure to DSTs-producing microalgae, however, little is known about the impacts of past MP-exposure experience on the accumulation of DSTs. In this study, taking polystyrene (PS) MPs and DSTs-producing Prorocentrum lima as representatives, the impacts of MP-exposure on DSTs accumulation were evaluated in the thick-shell mussel Mytilus coruscus.

Prorocentrin-5 () was isolated from the benthic marine dinoflagellate . A combination of NMR spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculations, and chemical reactions was then employed to elucidate its molecular structure, including the configurations of all stereogenic centers. In cytotoxicity assays, prorocentin-5 exhibited potent activity against the HCT-116 and Neuro2a cell lines, with IC values of 4.
